DE Nick Bosa "Smaller Bear" NO POLITICS

Shop Find 49ers gear online
TJ Watt (4-time 1st team All-Pro) and Myles Garrett (4-time 1st team All-Pro) are clearly better than Bosa.

Then I'd say that Micah Parsons, Maxx Crosby and Trey Hendrickson are slightly better than Bosa.

So that leaves Bosa as the 6th best edge-rusher of the league which is very good but he isn't the best at all.

If we want him to be the best he will have to play way better than the last 2 seasons.

Warner and Kittle are the best at their positions. Bosa isn't.

Almost like the question was "what expectations do you have for yourself this season"

Nick is smart enough he can' win the SB by himself. He's certainly tried.

Somewhat yes, literally says in the video he just wants to be thought of one of the best amongst his peers, not the best. Your entitled to your opinion if you thought opposite.

Could have answered by saying helping the team reach the next level by winning a SB. Anyways, he had a good answer and it was taken a bit out of context.

As a captain....he says....The most important thing is to win a SB. Not hard.

"I want to be dominant and really want to be thought of as one of the best you would look for in this league by your peers and coaches"

I don't know to me that doesn't sound content lol. Sounds like he wants to be a dominant player known as one of the best by players and coaches(that's screaming HOF level to me, aka one of the best)

And let's be honest if he said "I want to be the greatest defensive player ever" he'd be killed for it by most folks.

He was asked about his personal goals for this season. He's a DE, he cannot take the team to the SB on his own. He definitely can't win it on his own. You guys are making a mountain of a mole hill. Every player's goal is to win the SB every year. You'd rather the guy give a cliche answer?

What is your criteria? Explain to me why those 5 guys are better than Bosa.

If Bosa was as discipline at DE as he is with his diet, we would already have a SB trophy.
