lets be real. ED REED better then RAY LEWIS and ALWAYS has been

[madness]

ed's preparation is second to none

not the biggest or fastest guy but he's the smartest football player i've ever seen

when you're an unheralded 2* prospect coming outta high school you have to make up for it somehow


if S.T. was still alive i'd put money that right now he'd be just as good if not better than reed. reed will tell you the same.

So you've never seen Peyton or Jerry Rice play?

Why can't one be the best safety ever and the other the best middle linebacker ever?

Since that's kinda how it is. With that said overall Ray Lewis has had the better career and his impact goes beyond his play on the field.

Super Bowl XLVII -- Ed Reed, hiding in plain sight - ESPN

"Ray is perfect for what Ray does," says one NFL player who has played with both men. "And it might actually help Ed be who he is. I don't think it's a secret that Ray enjoys the attention, that he sometimes seeks it out. Ed is the opposite, and I think that's good for both of them. But I think Ray being so demonstrative, so welcoming to the attention, I think that drowns out how good Ed is, and how important Ed is. Behind closed doors, in the locker room, I don't know that Ray gets more respect from the guys than Ed does. If you polled players secretly, I think guys might say they respect Ed more.

"That's not a shot at Ray because in my opinion he's the best linebacker ever. He just hasn't changed the position like Ed has. Ed doesn't get the attention he deserves because he's comfortable being in Ray's shadow, and maybe he wouldn't have been able to thrive the way he has if he had to be the vocal lightning rod that Ray is. Ed wishes no one would even recognize him, which is why he grows that ugly-ass beard. It's like a mask for him. But I think Ed should be in the debate for the best defensive player of all time. He probably wouldn't win that debate, but I think he's as important to a team and as revolutionary a player as Lawrence Taylor."

:respect my thug:

An anonymous quote from an anonymous person sharing one anonymous opinion/observation makes it a fact?

You're either stupid or just bored and trying to make a controversial thread.

I'm sure I could search the net and find plenty of quotes bigging up Ray Lewis's impact as a player and leader of men.

ed is just as smart if not smarter than they are. don't jockey what ESPN has to say and watch the games yourself.

stop being a fakkit.

Jerry Rice literally broke the position of WR down to a science, that's why he was 40 and still making DB's look

Peyton is in a class all his own in terms of football IQ, if football had a MENSA... he'd be in it.

 

[gho3st]

both Bill Bellichick and Tom Bundchen respects the fukk outta Ed Reed. Tells you all you need to know about the dude.

newsflash: players on defense study the game just as much as QBs and WRs. you don't get 61 career picks by being a dummy.


there's a reason respected heads like and brady rave about ed's football IQ

I ain't taking a safety over a linebacker

 

[Formerly known as...]

Prime Ray > Prime Ed

But Ed in the past few seasons has been better than Ray. But he isnt the leader of the team while Ray is there, fukk what you heard.

Put it like this, Peyton Manning is the first of his kind.

those " Peyton is the QB and the offensive coordinator" jokes people make aren't that far from the truth.

is the c/s from Belichick and Brady the standard for football IQ?

Because you're dealing with the lowest common denominator in here: Idiots who don't really comprehend much, have too much time on their hands and make stupid threads all day to get the attention their parents never gave them.

 

[Lakers Offseason]

Ed aint the leader that Ray is...simple as that.

let's keep it 100 tho, Ed aint even the best player to come from that Canes team.

Who's a better player than Ed on that Canes team?
