Kittle vs Warner

Kittle, strictly because he is a household name (well recognizable) and is generally well liked around the league (potentially universally liked). They both are top 3 in the league at their position and both have the "IT" factor with the locker room & media.

Warner is the best of all time in his position.

But kittle does more for the offense than Warner does on the defense.

I guess it comes down to which position you think is more valuable both are top 3 at their position.

Warner, hands down.

Kittle's production has been replaced in the past adequately when he was injured.

Fred is the QB and heart of the entire defense, he goes down our D is totally inferior.

Here's to a healthy Fred this year.

Kittle, you need points to win games

Warner, because he is available more if nothing else.

I have three (current) Niners jerseys and these two don't make up one of them, which is funny because both of them have the lowest chance of beating a woman, getting traded, or sucking.

I love both of them. They're both elite players and arguably the best at their positions.

It ultimately comes down to availability--Kittle misses game; Fred doesn't.

No. AND no

I think the defense would suffer more if Warner was out than the offense would if Kittle was out. They don't really have a good option at LB if they lose Warner It would leave a huge hole in the middle. If they lose Kittle (which they have occasionally) they have better backups at TE than at LB. They could also change the offense a little and utilize the WR more or go more to the running game. You lose your best LB and your at the other team's mercy.

So my answer would be Warner. Not because he's better. It's just that the team is thinner at that spot.

Warner and it's not even that close just because middle linebacker is pretty much the hardest position after QB in football. But in all honesty, these guys are both keepers. You don't let them walk in their prime. Period.

Kittle because of what he adds to the run and pass game. Not another player in the league that has his type of statistical impact.

I think Kittle is the slightly better player, but went Fred for more important.

Fred seems to hold the D together, the O is held together by Kyle.
