Packerraymond Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 The best pass rush move of all time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aj2PDfGwmWw Just a total freak, would love to know what he'd have done at today's Combine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's a very similar list to mine. I can see an argument for White over LT most def Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically any list like this is overly slanted toward recency. Yeah, I prefer not going with the new kid on the block. I tried to spread out throughout from the 60s on with Sam Huff being the exception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Donald has also cemented himself in the Top 5 imo and honestly so has J.J Watt given who he had as teammates. 4 years in a row of sustained greatness and a 5th bounce back year that was also very good. He's awesome, but probably in that 16-25 range IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jotun_Fan Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Lawrence Taylor Reggie White Ray Lewis Deion Sanders Ronnie Lott Aaron Donald Alan Page Deacon Jones Bruce Smith Ed Reed If I was forming a team to play in the league right now, starting 11 might look like White Donald Smith Brooks Taylor Lewis Sanders Woodson Woodson Lott Reed On 3/30/2022 at 12:32 PM, Tk3 said: I don't like the prompt, so I'll make my own... Keeping it to ~2000s to present Aaron Donald Ray Lewis Julius Peppers J.J. Watt Ed Reed Brian Urlacher DeMarcus Ware Luke Kuechly Darrelle Revis Patrick Willis Also, people in this thread are DEFINITELY falling into the "older is always better when it comes to All-Time" trap According to everyone here, the past 20 years of uber talented players has produced 10% of the best players, while the prior 20 years has produced 80% Goofy I think it helps a players argument if they play for 15+ years and are still able to be great in the league. No player starting in 2010 has had the chance to go that long...any player would be a long shot. It's a testament to AD that most people are including him on here. Also a lot of these guys also have leads in stats or some award. Page and Taylor are MVPs. PFR unofficial sack leaders all time, Smith, White, D. Jones. Interceptions leaders are all old guys, but then of the more recent is woodson,woodson, reed, lott. Deion Sanders was the first shut down corner. There was huge drama in the 90's about who would get him in free agency. 94 he goes to SF and they win the SB instead of the cowboys. 95 he goes to the cowboys, they win the super bowl. Personal opinion here, but it's also harder for defenders to have huge impacts on games like they used to in the 80's due to rules changes. Some generations are just better players, which maybe is or isn't the case. Look at tennis...now the top guys struggle to beat the older players who were at the top. Do I think that's the case here? Probably not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmorecareful Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) My only issue with pass rushers of today vs guys like LT Bruce smith and Reggie white is the amount of attempts they get to rush the passer in comparison… It’s like to the total points vs point per game argument for MJ vs Lebron… like yeah or BRon will end up with the most points total but is he really a better scorer when u factor in he averages like 3 less points a game… Edited April 1, 2022 by bmorecareful 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
