The problem with Ellis is that he always starts off quick, but he fades by the end of the year. Spencer, even according to Breer, was making an impact by the end of the year to the point Breer was saying that there were times when Spencer was playing better than Ware when both were on the field.
That was exactly my point... IF Ellis is steam rolling, then he's on the field... and if he's not, it's Spencer chasing down the QBs. So it doesn't really matter who we think is better going into the season, only who is performing on the field when the season starts rolling along.
Who knows? It could change week-to-week.
Personally (although I want to see Spencer take the reigns in view of he is the future) I'd love to see Ellis on the field with the mammoth year because he's been with us through the last miserable decade, and I'd love for him to be the LOLB people remember when we win the Superbowl (hopeful thinking).
In other words, he stayed through the storm and saw it through to calm waters.
