Yes, And it's not just me because Shannon Sharpe was saying the same stuff today. LT was the complete package that could do it all, Micah can get there but he's not that guy yet. Micah's strengths at the moment are pass rushing and if you look at the game footage I posted, you'll see that he does get lost in coverage at times and is inconsistent in the run game. He'll still be DROY & DPOY so there's no need to get all upset over this brehHave you watched Micah Parsons play more than one game?

LT was a very smart player too, he would go to meetings hungover and fall asleep. Belichick would wake him up and he would go to the board and explain the defensive game plans and what the assignments were for each player.

Back in the day, sometimes the older cats in my neighborhhod would play a no holds barred type of tackle backyard football that was too rough and dangerous for us little youngins.
The game was called "LT".
The game was called "LT".
The thing Im still not over was him standing on the edge before the snap. The entire stadium knew he was coming. Left tackle, fans, coaches, refs, qb…and you knew he was going to get there anyway. .the anticipation before the play started. That is something I have never again witnessed in watching sports.
Maaaan He was like the main villain in some football horror movie
He WAS a crackhead with his ability!Man I really wish I had a chance to watch him play. I can only imagine the numbers he'd put up with teams throwing roughly 30% more not than they did in the 80's on top of teams running shotgun and not having that extra lineman to chip him. A running back is nothing with a player like him. And he STILL looks like he can play.

Reggie White was equally as dominant but people usually give LT the edge cuz of LB versatility
1a & 1b greatest defensive players ever

...on the otherside of the pond
Because LT was the first and only player to win ROY and DPOY in the same season. You only have one season to challenge that feat and Micah is the closest player to do it since then.
NONE of the players you can mention compares, so Im not bothered by it. This kid is super special.

Smokin my Opps like Patrick Mahomes pops
Dude openly talked about him not knowing the defensive calls before plays because he was thinking about smoking crack
like the one cat said, nah he’d be hungover with a towel on his head, sleep, bill beli got upset one time and was like Lawrence why are you sleep do you know what we are doing, the man went up to the white board drew the play everyone’s assignment, and what they would do to any counter then said now can i go back to sleep
ware didn’t really get in coverage parsons could do that
The scariest thing about Lt is he did all this, and he was out all night partying, most nights including nights before the game, imagine sober clean living LT, he’d probably have plays that were beyond the superhuman ones we see now

LT was indeed a monster. My Grandpops favorite player of all time. At his peak he was the best but when the early 90's Cowboys came through he was no match for Larry Allen, Mark Tuinei and Kevin Grogan.....we would just run straight at him with Emmitt.
