I don’t think you understand. Anyone can be fast. Not many people could be insanely fast with that much mass. That’s a rare blend of speed and power. You simply don’t see that. That’s a solid 220-240 of pure muscle and to run a 4.35 is just not human... Usually fast people are very lean. Not to diminish Sean. But as athlete he’s not in Landry’s class.. And he did have a solid start but PEDs and injuries began to take a toll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piquel Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 If endurance counts then Jerry Rice could be included. Several players have talked about how he went 100% every play all game and how he might have been one the least athletic at the beginning of the game but by the 4th quarter he was by far the most athletic player on the field because he didn't ever get gassed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, he wasn’t a small dude but this came about after that. Taylor was a physical freak. I wish more people could’ve got the chance to see him play. It really bums me out to have seen every snap of his career and see people who didn’t say he was overrated or whatever. Yes I’m biased but he’s probably the most talented football player Ive ever watched. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Aldon Smith definitely deserves a mention here. Dude was/is a freak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor was he one of the best. His death was tragic and he was trending upwards, but this is not accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time Sean Taylor is brought up there’s one of you guys who do this. It’s just ridiculous at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Ummm Sean Taylor, Sean Taylor and Sean Taylor. Julius Peppers is right up there as well along with Randy Moss being just that physically gifted as a receiver, no one had more natural receiving gifts and could flat our run and jump like Randy could. PS All legal hits by Sean by the way, using the shoulder, and not using his helmet to strike or attacking the head of the offensive player. Launching at a player, maybe but come on it is football and is nice for the defense to kind of have a chance and not make every stupid damn QB playing currently look like Joe Montana out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there was no DT like White before White imo. He played and dominated at every spot on the line. Aaron Donald doesn't come close. Not Buffalo's Bruce either imo who was great but an edge. Nor Watt. White's only comp to me is Wilt Chamberlain. Only one of each. Wilt is even more freakish. White is the best DL I've ever seen (Donald and peak Watt come close) but I'd like to have seen how Deacon Jones (he apparently tallied 28 sacks one season) and Alan Page (one of two defenders to win MVP) matched up vs their contemporaries. Alex Karras had the talent, but even he admitted he would coast vs inferior competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly he didn't look as strong as he was but had that farmboy type strength. The thing about Reggie, having (briefly) met the man in person, is that he isn't cut or anything, he's just a BIG PERSON. Kind of like Shaq - Shaq is huge, but doesn't LOOK tall when he's standing there by himself, because he's proportional; a lot of tall guys look a bit stretched out, Shaq looks like a 6 foot tall guy, except he's 7'2". Same with Reggie - he isn't bulked up or cut, he's just a massive person - big head, big neck, big shoulders, big arms, big hands, etc., so it's deceiving - you think "well, he doesn't look THAT big" until you stand next to him as a normal human being and feel like Peter Dinklage (FWIW I'm 5'9" and tended to run 200-230 lbs, so I'm average height and not a scrawny guy). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the floor next to tricep - bit blurry/different from the rest of the floor. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
