Patrick Willis - None better

I think back on watching players like Montana, Lott, Rice, and other NFL greats and I can't say that I truly appreciated the opportunity of watching their greatness at the time. I'm not making that mistake with Willis. He is playing at that rare special level that rarely ever comes along, so I view watching him as a special treat. He's going to be a future Hall of Famer one day, and the views you have of him right now are going to be the memories you have of him twenty years from now. Take special joy in watching now.

IMO, he's easily our best pass rusher, even though he's not really in a situation to showcase that. We saw a glimpse of it this weekend, but wait until we get some better pass rushers around him and the team is able to "open it up" a little more with different schemes.

it's usually not a very good ending for opposing offenses when Willis is cut loose on a blitz up the gut...in fact it is usually very nasty
