Luke QB'd his defense and made the calls in many situations. I'll take him. He gave Brady fists.

Kendick Lewis had a year nobody will ever forget-he should get some kind of award.

**TimBone** · 01-21-2014, 05:47 PM

I'd give it to Quinn or Mathis.

Quinn was outstanding this year. What a season he had-just consistently beat everyone he faced- clinical!

Mathis has made a ton of game changing strip sacks throughout his Colts career and broke the all time record this year. The one vs Peyton was tremendous. I'd go with Mathis but I'm a homer.

Lately you always look at the sack leader first. But not because of sympathy for injury but for his play I have to say Bowman. He just seems like he does everything great.

Quinn was easily the most disruptive player this season. Fastest first step in the league. If you were going with the LBs, Bowman would have to be over Kuechly. Sherman is the best CB in the league right now and it's not even close; the amazing thing is he's been this good since his rookie year. JJ Watt, only reason why his name is up there is because he won it last year; nowhere near as good as all of these other players this year.

Its closer than you think at Corner.

Joe Haden shuts down everyone without the benefit of having all pros SURROUND HIM.

For me, it has to be bowman. Seeing Quinn blow up like that is amazing. Im a tarheel guy, and he was the guy I wanted over Aldon Smith. Both are amazing. But, Robert Quinn is the purest pass rusher I have seen since Reggie White.

Sherman shuts down his side of the field and routinely baits Qbs into throwing at him which is the reason why he is always near the tops in the league in INTs. He intentionally gives QBs looks that they like and then uses his athletic ability to take it away at the last second. No one in the league does that better than he does; Not Revis, not Haden, not Peterson (I don't really consider him among the best corners but other people do for some odd reason), not anyone. And on top of that, he can stick his man and shut down the league's best receivers; he is unquestionably the best defender of the fade route in the NFL. It really isn't close at all.

As far as Quinn vs Aldon Smith goes, they each have different things going for them. Quinn is one of the best speed rushers in the NFL while Aldon uses a combination of strength and speed to win his battles. I wonder if Aldon would be as successful without Justin Smith tying up blockers for him. I think that without Justin Smith, Aldon Smith is a 10-12 sacks a year kind of guy at this point in his career, he's definitely on the upswing though.

Peyton manning.

Those are basically Jarius Byrds averages and he is available in FA.

In 5 years, he has

22picks
11 forced fumbles
5 recovered fumbles
33 pass defenses
409 return yards
2 defensive scores.

I know he is gonna be pricey, but that guy is a flat out game changer worth the extra money. It's too bad we can't afford him.

I might be the only one who thinks Keuchly is overrated. He's sideline to sideline but tons of his tackles are made 10 yards down field.

That said, I'd still love to have him next to DJ. During the draft, I REALLY wanted Keuchly, but I"m really happy with Poe too, and he plays a more important position on defense.

Hey don't get me wrong, I'd take him in a minute.

But he's not even close as the best ILB in football, IMO.

Eh, he was the unquestioned leader on possibly the best defense in the league.

He's really, really good in coverage too.
