My post said that there wasn't anyone as dominant at their position as Aaron Donald. You've yet to post one. Zeke has peers AT HIS POSITION that are arguably as good. Donald has no such peer. Want to try again?

Donald has peers at his position. Give me a break. There is no one player at any position that doesn't have any peers. People like you gets so brainwashed into what the media telling you how to think. 'Oh Aaron Donald there is no one like him'. Yes there is. Did they have as good of year as Donald did this year? No but he has peers.

Did you board the Troglodyte train today? You said yourself "Zeke is one of the best players in the league". Not THE best player. The word dominance is reserved for THE best, Einstein, not one of the best. Aaron Donald, in fact, is the ONLY dominant player in the entire league at his position. I'm sorry you're too stupid grasp the concept.

It’s a moronic concept from a moron. What you say isn’t gospel. Probably the only person on this planet who doesn’t think Zeke and Donald aren’t of the same caliber.

Name a DT in the HISTORY of this league that has put up the numbers that Donald put up this year. I'll wait. That's peerless.

There are RBs in the league with similar numbers to Zeke. Not a DT in the league that has numbers even close to Donald. That's not gospel. That's fact. Talk about moronic? You've got that street paved.

Hes saying we have one of the best backs in the league, he isnt limiting it to position as you are.

Ill throw in even with the injuries Smith and Martin are at the top of their positions. Fred when healthy. We had the best CB at his position this year.

Back To zeke, he has been the best back in the league since drafted, ill just point to his unrivaled rush yards since entering the league if you want to go by stats.

I agree we have ONE OF the best backs in the league. That's not refutable.

Let me out it this way: Ask anyone that knows anything about football and ask them who the best RB in the league is. There will be 3-5 different answers and all will have very good arguments for their case.

Now ask them the same question about the DT position. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM will say Aaron Donald. That's dominance.

It doesn't discount Zeke's, Brady's, Bryant's, or anyone else's ability. It merely demonstrate's that an argument could be made for another player at their position. No argument can be made for a player at DT as being better than Donald. He's the only player in the league that is universally hailed as the best at his position by anyone operating with more than one brain cell.

For all the Rams star power on defense they still allow alot of points against them.

Coupled with the fact during our current run (after starting 3-5) we have won 4 playoff calibre teams. We have a good chance to win vs the Rams and I expect we don't about 4 points.

In his earlier years the case could be made (especially his 2012 and 2014 seasons), for sure. And he's had decent comeback this season but he's not in Donald's neighborhood this season. And FWIW he's no longer listed as a DT, he's a DE (I'm assuming because they play a 3-4 front, now). I like the spirit of your replay, though, brother.

He’s great at getting upfield and into the backfield.

He’s also a DT on the 32nd ranked run defense in the league.

Won't argue the status of his defense, my friend. He can't (and shouldn't have to) do it alone. It does nothing to detract from my previous statements.

That's the thing that blows my mind, to be honest. When I saw this off-season that they had aquired Suh, Peters, and Talib to go along with Donald and Brockers, my first thought was how in the hell does this even happen. the rich get richer and even MORE dangerous. Add to that the fact that Wade Phillips is running the defensive show and I imagined a team that couldn't be beat on either side of the ball. Now, don't get me wrong 13-3 is no slouch of a record but if you would have told me the defense would rank and play as poorly as they have, I would have laughed in your face. Crazy league sometimes.

My point is the sack numbers are inflated because he flies upfield every snap, and the team’s run defense has been atrocious as a consequence of that.

We’ll see how historically dominant he is when he has to play a team that’s going to ram the ball down his throat Saturday night.

Here you go genius!!! https://www.foxsports.com/nfl/galle...ite-john-randle-bruce-smith-joe-greene-033015

Sometimes people forget about past players and gets jaded with today's player and forget all of the previous hall of famers that played the position and how dominant they were, most of these players have stats that Donald will never touch.
