We've come back to my original position.

I said greatness supersedes scheme misfit. And you dismissed it as a pleasant sounding bumper sticker.

My reply
1. It "worked" with Youngblood, but he was not what he was before.
2. Suh is not Youngblood in terms of character, work, study, etc.
3. We want great defense, Rams defense was good versus run, but lacked pass rush, even though Blood was good, no longer great due to SCHEME
4. Rams defense versus run last year not good, Suh is not the kind of player who can help. Only played on one good run defense in his life.
5. You talk about "greatness" How is Suh "great"?

You seem to say Suh is great

Okay, I always answer you questions and reply

It's time for you to say why you think Suh is great. I have watched him, A lot. From Day 1 though last year.'

Donald is great. Suh has been good, he has some really good things. But he is NOT and has never been great.

Why do you think he's great? Be specific.

Donald and Suh are great. Donald has been better because he's been extraordinarily good but that doesn't mean Suh has only been "good."

Both are on HOF trajectories and I think that is the general consensus...which is why I find the question a bit ridiculous but I'll entertain you.

1. Suh’s numbers through seven seasons are comparable to recently inducted Hall of Fame DT’s Cortez Kennedy and Warren Sapp. Suh has more tackles than Sapp through his first seven seasons and more sacks than Kennedy over that same span. He's actually right in between them in both of those categories.

2. In seven seasons, he's earned five All-Pro nods and 5 pro bowls.

3. Since 2013, he’s been graded as one of the leagues top run defenders by PFF and as high as #2 in 2014.

4. He’s been ranked by various NFL experts, including Bucky Brooks, as their top run defender.

5. He’s a league leader in run stuffs over the past four years. There are only three players who surpass his 32.5 run stuffs in that time period: Aaron Donald (40.5), Michael Bennett (40.5), and Khalil Mack (33).

6. He ranked second among interior defensive linemen against the run last season according to PFF.

7. Durability. He's only missed 2 games in his entire career AND he has consistently led all D'linemen in snaps for years.

8. He's been ranked by PFF among the league's best every year in QB pressures since his rookie season.
