iknowcool Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Yea, this is one of those questions where I’m positive there’s no answer. I wonder how accurate tackles were recorded when White played. PFR has him at 4 seasons with 100+ tackles (1 at 98, 1 at 83, 1 at 76 in 12 games). That’s insane for a lineman.

Danger Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Hate to be that guy, but you're not going to sell me on "coulda woulda shoulda". Watt is great, but it doesn't matter if he can't stay healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Ramster Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 It’s Reggie.. Watt will go down as a what coulda been.. The league is too talented to be held hostage by him.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 2 good players but this is prime Reggie White for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtait93 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 White for me, but just looking at some of his years outside his prime, like 1998 for example, he had 16 sacks that year...at age 37 holy **** lol that dude was a monster. But yeah you can't go wrong with either. JJ's 2012-15 seasons were absolutely astonishing. However, like a few have already stated if he didn't get injured you just have to wonder watt could have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanSlim Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Reggie White was slightly before my time. Having said that, it's hard to pick against him even with seeing Watt first hand. I know it's a "what if" with Watt but White also has a bit of a "what if" case. What if White came straight to the NFL instead of playing those 2 seasons in the USFL and also didn't take that year off before coming back with the Panthers in 2000. He would've shattered the career sack record and maybe would've had a couple of more All Pros, Pro Bowls and DPOYs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elky Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Watt is great, but Reggie White was literally unstoppable in his prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 White had 70 sacks in a four year stretch. Watt had 69 sacks in a four year stretch plus an 80 yard INT return and 15 forced fumbles in an era in which quarterbacks are more protected than certain human rights. If we define prime as best four years, it was Watt without question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
