diamondbull424 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) Peak Watt is the only player on this list better than peak Ray Lewis IMO in terms of best I’ve seen. Though the longevity/durability argument is certainly relevant. Ultimately I feel Darnold while great would lead to a less stellar defense and would ultimately not push the needle far enough in moving towards a championship. We know that Miller has shown multiple playoff performances where he could simply not be stopped and eventually was one of the most important factors in getting his team a SB ring. Supperior leadership, overwhelming defensive impact, the playoff clutch gene, and greater scheme versatility all sound like the recipe for an all time legendary defense that can carry a mediocre offense to a SB win. I come away thinking Darnold and Mack would be an absolutely elite defense but I wouldn’t feel confident in them ever reaching legendary status.

AkronsWitness Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I would imagine the fear of God would be put into a QB if they took the field in a playoff game, looked up and saw JJ Watt on one edge and Von Miller on the other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drained Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I may be bias but I think even a season of peak JJ Watt would satisfy any franchise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chargers Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 A Watt/Miller DL would be unstoppable plus they also show up in the playoffs unlike the other duo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patriotsheatyan Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 Donald and Mack now because they can stay healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilflamingo Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Watt and Miller by some distance. As good as Donald is, he's doesn't touch Watt's level of dominance, especially in the playoffs. Miller and Mack is a wash for me with the first having the more impressive stats but also being a clown with no class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't either so I could be wrong, but I'd guess it isn't as high as Donald's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl4life07 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Trick question because the Rams actually had two picks and was in position to take Mack then Donald but instead they passed on Mack to take Greg Robinson. I can only dream of Mack and Donald locked up on the same team then they trade for Ramsey too. Like that defense would be impossible for offenses to handle. But yeah give me Donald and Mack. Love Miller and Watt but Watt can’t stay healthy while Donald shows up every game like a machine and dominates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntonChigurh Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Donald and Mack. Donald is the most dominant DT I have ever seen. Mack is one of the most versatile lbs ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
