You win as a team and lose as a team. Love how you don't put any blame on the DB's for giving up the 35 yard TD catch when the WR was double-teamed, or how you don't give any blame to the offense for a terrible performance. Nope. It's all DT's fault they lost. Clown ![]() |

Thank you! Very proud of ya! By the time we are through you might just understand what a fraud dt was!
Instead of making the correct read he went after as always cared only about one thing...himself.... Now on to the next chapter...Why didn't he start in the 1993 AFC Championship game? |

I do remember one game that Sharpe got inside his skull so bad the coach had to set him on the Bench because of all the penalties called on him.. I'd take DT any day over any of our LB's save Miller.. But keep up the debate I'd love to see the answers to the questions you posed.. I doubt they will be answered.. |

How about this? http://thirdandlong.org/ Sure looks like he cared about only himself huh? Only you would say a HOF is a fraud. Clown. ![]() |

Pretty sure that they look at the stats of the man as pretty much their main criteria.. Besides DT did pad his stats a lot also.. I disliked the guy because he caused us fits, and as I said before would have loved to have him playing in DEN instead.. But he was not a great human being as you suggest.. Had negatives off the field and maybe even in the locker room. I can't speak to that, but generally if you're a prick outside work some of it rubs off at work and vice versa,, |

He played a hybrid position that was referred to in KCs scheme as the Falcon position. He played where he was asked and what he was asked. He was not a coverage LBer. He was a rush LBer. Usually off the left side of the offense. He was so prolific at it that no matter the gameplan the dude got his. Broncos fans biggest crack on him was his skills as a father. Not a prick. You folks have never had a LBer that could hold his jock. Ever. Get over it |

I would be ecstatic if Miller turned out to be the passrusher that DT was.

I think Randy G would have easily held his jock. In fact it could be said just maybe DT would have had a tough time holding RGs jock. He averaged a bit over 200 tackles a year. Had 20 sacks and 20 picks in his ten year career. He said when he was on his rookie year he would only play ten years and unlike most athletes kept his word. It is one of the biggest travesties of all time he is not a HOFer. Like I said I don't know DT other than when he played DEN or any other televised KC game. Never have said I was an expert on him but I do know football. I'll also bet the Miller did not cone up with the DT comparison with out someone else brining it to his attention. Since he grew up in Dallas Th odds of him seeing DT live was slim and none. Considering DTs career was over about the time miller may have played PEE WEE I'm Pretty sure someone did indeed turned him on to DT. Opposed to figuring it out himself. Your correct most Bronco fans hated him and having a gaggle of kids that he did not care for, did him no favors. Last edited by lonestar; 06-23-2012 at 05:04 PM.. |

in their first year their tackles were virtually the same but Von had 4.5 most sacks that DT did.. Unless Miller gets hurt I think it is a lock.. |

DT was a great football player. Any GM today would want DT on the field. He has to be accounted for with a TE or back which changes the odds into the defense's favor. Von Miller is about to explode into a top 20 player in the NFL a perennial Pro Bowler who teams have to account for on every play. With Doom on the other side could be a great season for Denver on D

Miller will likely be a better in other areas, but DT is arguably the best pass rushing LB of all time. Forced fumbles need to become accounted for too. DT averaged 4 a year. To suggest that Von is already the best OLB in the league is dumb. As of right now, Von couldn't hold Demarcus Ware's jock. Ware is the best OLB I've seen since DT. He already has 100 sacks at the age of 30 and will likely be in the top 10 for all time sacks by the time he's 32. He plays the run really well and is just a monster. |

DT was good. But he was not LT. Von is the Best 4-3 OLB in the NFL. All Pro Ware is a HOF player |

If DT hadn't died such a tragic young death, he would have easily passed LT in the next year or two in all time sacks. Another big factor that should play in is that LT didn't have a forced fumble until his last season (3 total), while DT had 41 in his career. |

DT had 126.5 sacks in 169 games played. .75 sacks per game. He also had 2 fewer seasons played. http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/...derrick-thomas
LT had 132.5 sacks in 184 games played. .72 sacks per game. I say they can hold each others jocks. |
