[SBR Tony]

LT has to be in the top 3

[maggiethebestdog]

LOL
Top 3??
Ya think???

[maggiethebestdog]

This is like asking who the most successful computer software developer is and saying Bill Gates is in the top 3

some say if not playing with Banks and Carson, he wouldn't have been that great

[Booya711]

Zach Thomas was good....I did go to college with him and dated his sister though

[maggiethebestdog]

That doesn't even warrant a response, but...
He dominated the league for 3 years before Banks even entered the league

So much for that theory

SBR is the vortex of sports knowledge

[Slipknot26]

Lawrence Taylor
Ray Lewis
Derrick Thomas

Lol
I love it
So you post something ridiculous, that is not even factually possible, I point out that fact, and now it wasn't you that said it and I am the moron??

Good one

Maybe you could post that some people think 2+2=7, and then when people correct you just say you didn't say it and make a juvenile insult towards them

Can you read???
I clearly said "some people" in my example

Also, do you just post random non factual things that "some" people believe???
If you knew anything about football you would know that LT dominated the league for 3 years before Banks even entered the league, so the people saying that are factually incorrect
But you know nothing about sports so you just went ahead and posted it

Typical SBR mod
Clueless

Dick Butkus and Mike Singletary are better than any LB's you guys have mentioned. Urlacker is no slouch either.

[2daBank]

If LT isn’t on your list your list is garbage: undebatable, dude changed the league.

I love me some ray Lewis, could prob be debated but in his prime he was a beast!!

Singletary.. quarterback of one of greatest defenses ever.

Dick Butkus. Most of us prob didn’t get to watch him but those nfl films featuring him is just a highlight real of him blowing up offenses!!

Derrick Thomas was amazing.

Junior Seau dominated in his time and might been one of 1st of a new breed of guys who could go sideline to sideline.

Read my mind!

[jjgold]

Taylor by far

[2daBank]

Should really be 2 separate list seeing how LT kinda changed the position and result was guys like Derrick Thomas etc. then you have your traditional middle linebackers which are totally different animals than your outside pass rushers.

Far as middle LBs go kuechly is a animal we get to watch right now.

It is LT and everyone else
He wasn't just a pass rusher
The modern outside LB's just sell out every play to rush the passer and have zero run or coverage responsibilities whatsoever
LT stuffed the run to his side, chased down the run to the opposite side, was the best pass coverage LB of all time AND the most feared pass rusher ALL IN ONE PLAYER
I have no doubt they could have asked him to play inside LB and he would have been the best but obviously that would have been insane

[packerd_00]

Derrick Thomas

Wasnt around to see Jack Lambert,but heard he was pretty awesome aswell.

[Ratpack]

Zach Thomas was good....I did go to college with him and dated his sister though

booya his sister is hot as f think she went crazy after jaceyon taylor went through her how was she

[BigdaddyQH]

I guarantee you that Butkus was the most feared blitzing LB of all time. Taylor was great in his prime, but then became a druggie and got soft near the end of the line for him. Singletary was just as good as Butkus. Both of these players saw blood on every play. Taylor did not.

What a shocker you have no clue what you are talking about

[Hman]

I'd say it depends.

Some did things better than others.

He's not the best, but for example Hall Of Famer Derrick Brooks one of best coverage linebackers & all-around.

[Grits n' Gravy]

We call those people dummies.

Brooks was amazing as was that whole Tampa defense, forgot about him. Sideline to sideline beast who allowed them to play that Tampa 2 shell cause he could drop so well and patrol so much of the field!!

[Booya711]

Amazing...my claim to fame as I fukked her before Jason Taylor

[Hman]

Just looked out of curiosity & so far he's #5 , #8, and #11 on 3 different lists.

Tampa was the one defense the Rams struggled with then not only because of that Bucs D as a whole, but Brooks shadowed Marshall Faulk out of the backfield,and that was a big part of their offense.

Definitely an all around outside LB
Thomas and Miller were/are great pass rushers but did/do nothing else

[jtoler]

all theses guys named were great I'd like to see picks for safeties I always loved the hard hitters who sacrificed their bodies gotta be a little crazy like lott, cromwell,atwater, even Ryan Clark hard hitter

[MinnesotaFats]

LT literally forced Joe Gibbs to invent a new style of offense to block him that the Cardinals and Eagles tried as well to copy.

I cant think of 1 other player (maybe Randy Moss) that forced a league to change how the game was played....

The rest mentioned are all a notch lower and not distinguished by any particular accomplishments.... Lewis, Singletary, Thomas, D Brooks. All great

The Niners had a guy, Willis, he was a damn beast for 5 years then disappeared??

[2daBank]

Lott head and shoulders number 1 on that list for me. Ed reed was great.

were you even born when LT played ??

You seem like a know it all

I know what LT was, I saw him play in person many times. I saw Ham play as well.

because I said SOME people say something, you jump on Me ?
Guess you don't like SBR or people that work here.

typical baby, know it all

You're the one crying like a child every post
I just pointed out the obvious
Suck it up

[SharpAngles]

The award for best linebacker in the country for high school, college AND the NFL is called the Dick Butkus trophy for a reason. He is under appreciated because most of us weren’t alive to see him play. He set the prototype for LBs

LT is the second best to ever play the position and with Parcells pretty much revolutionized NFL defense into what we see today.

My third place would have to be Junior Seau. He had an instinct for where the ball was going like nobody else I’ve seen. He wasn’t the biggest or fastest but he was always in the right place to stop the play.
