I disagree! Pick your weapon and let's duel!

Fred is VERY important, but I think Bosa is THE most important defender on the team. No one puts as much direct pressure on the opposing QB as he does. 

I can place Fred right AFTER Bosa. 

Agreed! However, Warner is legitimately the best coverage off ball LB in the game and this team was still a borderline top 5 defense WITHOUT Bosa. You can generate pressure with bringing blitzes and one of the reasons you can get away from that is Warner's ability to cover the opposing team's best TE or their slot WRs. He is the only LB that consistently carries WR routes 20+ yards down the field. The defense has been so good due to being stingy in the pass defense and our LBs/safeties are a big reason for that...The biggest reason? Frederico Anthony Warner! That's only what he does in the passing game but he's also developing into a stud blitzing LB. Warner is just so damn good and a true unicorn at the position. No other LB is asked to do what he does and no one excels to the level he does.

This time next year Bosa will be getting his record breaking deal. So at one point or another, we will have paid a LT, DE, TE and LB the highest at their position. 

It's all up to Trey now. Let's see how good/great he can be. 

Don't forget Juice is the highest paid FB lol

Kinda crazy by this time next year we could have 5 players at or near the highest paid at their position. But each of those players has an argument for being the best at their position

This is an irrefutable fact.

I hope that chris never gets the make the opposite argument! Warner is irreplaceable

Yoga is good. I think Ronnie Lott used to do it while he was playing. 

Side note, there is this awesome Yoga gym that just opened next to my house here in Macau where mostly girls seem to go. Street entertainment got a lot more interesting when I walk my dog. Too bad I'm about to change residences.

Hey remember when I predicted the pick in the draft thread three years ago?

Anyway, something else to spotlight for Warner is that up to this point he remains pretty durable (knock on wood). Still a young buck, and I hope he plays a long career in the red and gold. He's already solidified himself as one of the best linebackers in franchise history in three short years. The only nitpick is the missed tackles at times, but I think he's cleaned that up a lot since his rookie campaign.

I remember some being concerned about taking Warner so high (3rd round? Too high? Naw!). I was ecstatic as I had been watching some BYU games and really liked Warner. He was my fave LB of that Draft. I think weight was a concern for some....

But does it matter both are huge parts of the defense. End of day Fred has been the most consistent and healthy player for us on defense. 

Jay started it!
