I still think that he'll make it, maybe even this year.<br /><br />And I am smiling... I just love my boy D.T.

And that is the best defensive player of all time. <br /><br />Comparing tackle or interception numbers just isn't fair. For all intents and purposes D.T. was a versatile defensive end, similar to what Jason Taylor is for the Dolphins or Jevon Kearse is for the Iggles. Maybe he should have been listed in the defesnive line category, but officially he's still listed as a linebacker.<br /><br />Donnie has played longer than D.T., and his sack numbers are are pretty paltry. Comparing those two is like comparing Carson Palmer to Michael Vick -- two totally different players.<br /><br />I think we're going to just have to agree to disagree on this one. It's not just you either; this post was targeted at all our voters, along with all the D.T. haters and the HoF voting committee. Not that all of the above-listed people will read this, but hopefully some of them will.<br /><br />To me D.T. wasn't one-sided, but the most dominate force ever to wear the Red, White and Gold on the defensive side of the ball. That's just how I feel. His sack numbers were damn near as good as L.T.'s and L.T. played longer, I believe, and on better teams (offensively especially).
