Junior Seau..... was he one of the ten best LB's ever?

I know he is in the HOF but I can't think of but a handfull of LB's that were as good or better than him. Help me out here. I'm too buzzed to think. This Fudgesicle/White Russian daiquiri with extra shot has my brain frozen.

I'd say yes. Somewhere behind LT, Butkus, and Lambert. Probably behind DT too.

Yes!

Top 10, no doubt.

No prob with this. His motor NEVER stopped when on the field.

I say he's easily in the conversation. His high level of play + his longevity. The importance to his teams etc. I think for at least 8 or so of his 20 years he had to be top 3 in the league, if not the best in those particular years.

One of the ten best but the Bucs Derrick Brooks was better IMO.

I can't be objective because he was one of those few guys who awed me with his athleticism on the field - when you see that amidst a bunch of world class athletes you are looking at a special kind of freak
too bad for his legend that he played on San Diego really - if he had played for the Bears or Giants he would have gotten 100x the respect

Good Question:
Players in the conversation, Dick Butkis, Mike Singletary, Ray Nitschke, Jack Ham, Jack Lambert, Lawrence Taylor, Ray Lewis, Derrick Thomas, Kevin Greene, Junior Seau, Ted Hendricks, Derrick Brooks, Karl Mecklenburg, Greg Lloyd & Rickey Jackson

No question at all.

Bunch of youngsters.......he was not top 10.
It's very debatable.
AND not close to top-5 at all.

Definitely.

That's weird that you posted this thread! I just saw on ESPN that they think he committed suicide. Put it on...they are talking about it right now!
Whow!
Whow!
