Jack Lambert

Lambert wasn't that great.... he was just an animal.

I'd say LT also...... but Ray Lewis has been awfully good for a long time (although I do think he is a bit of a caricature of his old self now).

I also loved Butkus............. Urlacher is WAY over rated.

Mike I went outside the box with my pick EVERYODY picks LT and Butkus but EVERYONE forget the undersized animal that was Jack Lambert. You can't argue his impact on the game.

I agree Nomad..... I didn't say I didn't like the way he played. He was a beast. I just don't think he did it long enough to be the best....besides... I hate the Steelers... ;)

Ihate the Steelers too, but I can't pass him up on a list of the best LB's

How about Brian "The Boz" Bosworth? He had the distinction of getting run over by baseball player and football hobbyist Bo Jackson once. Not many linebackers can make that claim.

He's the poster boy for players that were hyped up in college, but became a tackling dummy in the NFL......and a crappy actor..
I was told to think outside the box, how did I get in the box in the first place?

Roger that! In all seriousness, though, Butkus is my 1st choice, Singletary #2. What can I say, I'm a Bears fan!
