The guy is a first ballot HOFer.....top 10 LBs of all time. Has a motor like a lunatic. Won a superbowl ( mission accomplished) and continued at his EXTREMELY high level after that. I think he would have been exactly the same player. Hes a murderer in a football uniform
I don't disagree with that at all, nor am I disputing his all time standing...But there is a lot to be said for a situation a guy is in. He has been a Raven his whole career. Not only a raven but THE Raven, not only on the field, but in the locker room and in the community. He is THE heartbeat of that team. Being a Raven may play a very large part in his success. At well over 30 a scenic change may have hurt his play. It's not an unreasonable thing to suggest.
ill go lewis because if could have stopped the run in the first half of the 2010 afc title game we would have a superbowl trophy right now and no one would even care that the team sucks now
