J.J. Watt is a better and more disruptive defensive player than Lawrence Taylor ever was - and not even close.

JJ Watt is white? Who knew?

These arguments are moronic. Both players dominate at their positions (a position that LT revolutionized). I could refute all the stat arguments by saying that JJ has many more opportunities to compile pass defense stats as most teams pass first and running is an afterthought. LT played when a lot of teams ran considerably more, where middle LBs and safeties are set up for compiling tackling stats. So that leaves you with the eye test on the field (and Theismann's compound fracture). LT was every bit as dominate as Watt was. Teams game-planned away from both players.

The other stats - like passes defended, touchdowns, etc., it is not even close. Watt kills him in all those stats.

Touchdowns are very infrequent for even the best defensive players. To make that a significant part of your judgement just shows how clueless you are. You might as well judge kickers or holders by their pass completion percentages.

Again, the analysis you provide is done by somebody that actually believed LT did not make a single tackle.

Yeah, but what can he run for 5K?

Even the most exaggerated LT batteries consider him one of the top 4 greatest players ever

I have seen all of those even on that list and to me he is clearly at least in top 3

Should have said haters

Hate auto correct

I remember reading in one of my football trading cards that he had 180 something tackles his rookie year. Oh and let me mention the obvious here, you are an idiot!

The numbers don't lie...

In 182 games, Lawrence Taylor had 2 touchdowns. Two! So far this season in just 10 games, J.J. has 4, the most since 1948. So J. J. has double the number of touchdowns in 10 games than Taylor has in 182 games!

Why would you count TDs as an offensive player as a defensive stat?

In this case the numbers do lie.

LT is the best football player ever, AINEC.

yeppers. Leave it to T-Rex to make any thread into race or politics. What a pathetic, angry troll.

If you've read Sally V's posts before, you should understand that this was a thread about race from the beginning.

nailed it. And Obama had right wingers nailed from the start (and that's why they hate him so much)- they cling to their guns, religion, racism, low IQ, and hate. What a truly, sad, absurdly stupid bunch.

I'm curious how football players would respond to this. LT put fear into quarterbacks, defensive coordinators and head coaches. And as a previous poster pointed out he was a mad man at UNC. One summer Worthy, Jordan and others were having a pick up game and LT said he wanted to play. They told him to wait until the game was over but he was adamant about playing right away. When they told him again that he had to wait he ripped down the rim

No, at this point LT was better that JJ is.

It's really not close.
