Does Anyone On This Webzone Believe That Aaron Donald Is The Best Defensive Player Ever!?!

OK i guess the question if we are talking about DT's or at least a 3 down lineman... Warren Sapp, Aaron Donald, Vince Wilfork, Hiloti Ngata, JJ Watt... Maybe its because the niners always shut him down but for interior D line I would take at least Sapp and Wilfork over Donald. In big moments, Donald just doesnt take over a game. Von Miller can be asleep all year but at least wakes up for the playoffs.

Maybe its also because we have the division of jitterbug QBs along with Shanny being able to shut him down through scheme with backup linemen. I dont see him batting down passes like Watt did when he gets stuffed but still was a league leader in sacks. I'd take Sapp, Wilfork or Watt over him and wouldnt even bat an eye.

He literally won the Super Bowl for the Rams at the biggest moment. You have 49er games bias. We have small, athletic guards, and that's the kryptonite for small, athletic DTs. But we still double and triple team him, and control him through our run game and quick passes. Other teams do not have the personnel match we do. He didn't get those defensive MVPs by being shut down all the time.

Well until the NFC Championship we've been handling him with a tier three guard.

Great? Sure. Hall of Fame? Yeah. GOAT? Not quite. Lawrence Taylor.
