How great was Warren Sapp in his prime?

My opinion would certainly be Hall of Fame great if not better. He would get double teamed a lot, so an already real good Tampa defense seemed like they had 12 defenders. Also, when he played for the lowly Raiders they were a highly rated defense. Don't think Tampa would have won a Super Bowl w/o him.

He's a friend of PTI and I enjoy his personality and all that but I have to go along with over-rated as a player. Very good player but not all that.

The guy likes his mint jelly.

Hall of Famer, One of the greatest DT of all time , always double teamed and still managed to get 96 sacks , thats insane

This guy will not make the hall. He was a better than average player that used his mouth to hype himself.

Jimmy0607 · 08-10-09, 09:54 PM

That's y people hate on him because of his mouth , but on the field he was something else

Very good player in his prime, remember being so pissed when the Vikings passed on him for smoking weed in 1995 and took Derrick Alexander with the 11th pick. Was so pissed, he might have been the missing piece that would have put the Vikings over the top in 1998 and win the Superbowl.

Dude was great in his time. Not only a great physical threat but hella smart when it came to reading offenses and watching tape. I remember Brett Favre saying when he played against Sapp(n raiders), that Sapp would be calling out every single play Favre was calling before the snap.

I dunno. He gets my vote.
