Ed Reed

Polamula not on Reeds level

He's not but it's not insane to say he's in the immediate level below Ed. Polamalu was like a version of Junior Seau in the defensive backfield. A very unique talent that could sometimes take over games on his own.

I feel you but your own stats say Troy has more tackles. If I’m reading that right. But Reed is definitely better

Troy had more tackles simply because of playing Strong Safety alot....

 

[SWFLHurricane]

If Belichek...Pagano...Butch...Coker etc...ALL say Ed's the best.....Then the Mic gets dropped on the floor....

Ed Reed is the GOAT but Polamula is in the conversation

Absolutely not. He’s not even top 5 of all time. Troy was very, very good, but ER is on a totally different stratosphere.

Even putting my Canes bias aside, Ed Reed and Sean Taylor are as good as any I've seen at S.

RIP Mr Taylor.

I'm gonna go with John Lynch.

I'm gonna go with John Lynch.

I guess you never saw Chuck Cecil play.

Love Polamalu, but they aren't in the same level. Polamalu is up there with greats like Ronnie Lott and John Lynch (who absolutely deserves to be in the HOF), but Reed is top of the top.

Ed Reed is the best football player of all time.

 

[SneakyFriendlyCrow]

He’s the reason I became a Ravens fan.

Ps **** the Pittsburgh Steelers
God bless all!

I'd put Sean Taylor over Polamalu any day

 

[Ethnicsands]

If you subtracted all of Polamalu’s int return yards from Reed’s int return yard total, reed would still be top 6-7 all time in return yards. That tells you all you need to know.

For the record, Sean Taylor is the best college safety I ever saw, and as good a safety as I ever saw. Had he lived, he retires the Goat, imo.
