Doc Brown Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) I love at #6 how short the write up is on OJ Simpson. Was Troy Aikman better than OJ? Probably not. Edited April 5, 2018 by Doc Brown

NFL.com article lists him as 2nd best all time #1 pick only surpassed by Peyton. Expand Damn right we were lucky. What Bruce did out of a primarily 3-4 is what separates him from the pack, among many other things. Back in the day we used to be able to get all the way down in the stands to watch warmups and still to this day I remember Bruce being the biggest, baddest man alive. The GOAT of the Dline, forever and ever!

Dadonkadonk Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 OJ should have been 3rd. He was far better than Aikman and Bradshaw at his position. OJ is in the conversation for greatest RB of all time. Those two aren't even close. Mario Williams is also too low. Probably ten spots too low.
Boatdrinks Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Best player I've ever seen in a Bills uniform. Just dominant and routinely did things on a football field that looked like no mortal should be able to do. There are great players, and then there's Bruce Smith. 1
MJS Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 No one can bend around that edge like he could. Took insane balance and use of leverage. 1

Watt has had multiple seasons of 20.5 sacks and another 17.5 season I don't believe playing 43 end adds 40 more sacks to his career ... maybe he gets 15- 20 over his career regardless he is the best 34 end of all time Expand Compare other 34 ends numbers to his. It's not even close. But another poster told me he didn't play end. I have never looked into that though.

scribo Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Bruuuuuce was amazing. Still grateful for the chance to watch him play on our team for so many years. But he was also a divisive player in his time, often looking for more money, "injured" at times and had a tendency to fall asleep behind the wheel. All that withstanding, I am so glad he has embraced the team in his legacy years now.

Muhammed Ali vs Pee Wee Herman. Bruce Smith vs Boomer Esiason. Anthony Munoz once threatened to kill Boomer himself if he didn't stop trash talking Bruce because he was having to deal with the fallout. 1
Mr. WEO Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 2 OT's in the top 10. Bartkowski ahead of Plunkett (and Bubba Smith!!). Who is this tool?

What Bruce did in a 3-4 with a crappy DC was amazing. IMO, he is the best player in franchise history. He is the most dominant Bill to ever play for us. Dude was an animal. 2

They said that he didn't play a regular 34 DE position, but I remember him constantly getting double and sometimes triple teamed. The only tackle I ever saw that could hold their own against him was Tony Boselli.
