Who do you think will end up being the better defensive end? I think Spears will eventually be better.
 
against the run i believe spears will/is better, pass is canty,
overall i think spears will have the better career and be the better player
 
You should ask better in what because Canty is going to amount to more tackles in his career then Spears. Spears will amount to more sacks in than Canty...

I like pass-rushers who gets to the quarterback so I have to say spears...
 
I think there should be a "who cares?" option.

Because if they are both good, productive players, I really don't care which one is "better." I'll just be happy to have two young, good, productive players with good attitudes who honor the Star.
 
Spears has a chance to be better than any DE I have ever saw save Charles Haley!!!

I thought Spears would be the better pro over Ware but much like Basketball u have to take the guy who will change the game before the guy who will be a solid pro!!!
 
Do you have a coin? We just haven't seen either at their best yet with both of them having injuries.
 
Like asking who is better, Charlize Theron or Angelina Jolie. Both have their own good points. It just depends on the situation! ;)
 
Canty was a first round talent until his injuries. I think it's pretty much equal. Spears is a beast, though. He might win on raw power.

Silver Bullet, Please please please please please stop posting in that centered format. I almost thought you didn't write anything before I saw the "spears' centered. It's annoying man. Do us all a favor and at least justify it to the left.

no, he lacks the burst and the 3-4 will kill his ability to really be a game breaker like many other DEs (strahan, peppers, formerly kearse etc.)
 
Spears...It's no contest, imo....Canty was the bigger steal of the draft because we got him in the fourth round, but while he was talked about as a first round talent, it would have been the bottom of round 1 at best, and likely the 3rd because there simply is not that much call for guys like Canty outside of the 3-4. The same can be said to an extent for Spears because he was not a huge sack guy in college, but Spears has the superior athleticism.

Canty will be a good one, but Spears may turn out to be a beast.

flip-flop these two statements and i'm on-board. i see spears as the every-down workhorse who will smother the run and provide the occasional pressure after hip-tossing a tackle. i like canty as a pass-rush specialist who will bat down balls ala ed jones and can run ya down from the backside - but will need LB support, at the point of attack, in the run game.

spears is stout enough to eventually see some DT duty. canty is edge all the way.
 
I think it's apples & oranges, really. It's like, who will be the better OLB, Ware or Carpenter? They play different positions, and have different assignments. Ware will get the limelight because, being on the weak side & being quicker, he will garner more sacks. Carpenter, on the other hand, will be a very good player on the other side by occupying the TE & moving around, creating havoc of his own.
