Luke #9 in pff top 101

[saints4lifeagain]

Bowman preinjury, who knows what he'll be now.

A lot of Niners fans felt like he was better than Willis. Who knows after missing a whole year. I hope he comes back stronger, because that was a nasty injury.

How is a guy that jumps on piles and tackles guys 15 yards down the field #9? Only tackles for losses should count!

[Mr. Scot]

Fixed for accuracy.

 

Not so accurate. honestly.

 

LTC is right.  Most of us guys are gonna look at that pic, look at ourselves and sigh like Charlie Brown after a baseball game

That would help give it the full effect

Would you trade Kuechly for a guard?

That's not the point of the ranking. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with it but the importance of position isn't relavant.

Remember when 49ers fans thought Bowman and Willis were better than Luke? Good times.

At one point they were. Last season he was definitely better but before that?...

That's not the question being asked...

In that GIF, Thomas Davis is soooo fast.

 

That one Gif sums up how great this duo is:

 

You have Davis who is out of frame fly across the field in position to make a stop for minimal gain.  Meanwhile, our middle linebacker is shedding a block from a guard and then a tackle to make a stop for even less of a gain.  Absolutely unreal.

 

It's such a shame that Davis lost so many years to injury.  He would be a household name around the league.

[t96]

but I'd bet almost no one here has watched a single all-22 film on Harris or Davis(which is necessary to evaluate a CB) nor spent time watching a Ravens OG blocking.

 

Not sure I'd bet that if I were you. I watch film of all teams and have seen Harris and Davis as I'm sure others here have with NFL Rewind. They were both ridiculously good and deserve all the praise they get, but I just wouldn't put a CB over Luke for defensive impact. Looking at defense only I'd say Watt then Luke as far as impact. But I don't know how PFF ranks it particularly when crossing position groups so I'm not going to argue with theirs.

None of Bowman's seasons were better than Luke's. You can make an argument for one or two seasons of Willis in his prime vs Luke's rookie season.

none? Really? Ok then.
