Where does Myles Garrett rank among the best pass rushers in history?

[Street Knowledge]

He’s the all time leader in sacks per game, 4th fastest to 100 sacks, currently this season on pace to break the all time single season sacks in one year record. Dude has more sacks this year than whole teams.

If people are gonna claim “you can’t play defense anymore” then the guy who is dominating on that side of the ball in “this era” should get way more praise.

 

[Controversy]

He's top 10 for sure

Top 5 of the 21st century

 

[triplehate]

Number 1 by far!!!!!!! It's not even close

I was just bullshyting but I wanted to help the thread out early and get the people in here

Top 10. Wish the Browns had more success and could play with the lead more so he could increase his numbers even more

Tough to compare different eras, but offensive linemen as a whole as much stronger and more athletic today. The schemes are more advanced too. Add in the fact that there are more rules that make it difficult for defenders (especially pass rushers), and I don’t see anyone that you can put above him since at least 2000.

I don’t want to go so far to say he’s the greatest we’ve seen, but I won’t fault anybody for saying that. I probably feel that way, but people will start bringing up LT and some players from the 90’s and prior.

The average offensive lineman in the 1980’s was the size of Gronk. Joe Jacoby was consider a “big” LT at 295 pounds.

Myles would embarrass those guys back then.

Myles Garrett is awesome. Wish he followed through and actually left Cleveland.

He'll leave late in his career and win a title. Most elite defenders get a ring eventually

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

on pace to be the GOAT

 

[Leonard Washington]

On pace to legit be a ATG possibly GOAT

He’ll be in New England with NFL Youngboy next year. .

 

[KingsnBucs1987]

He's probably a top 3-5 pass rusher in history.

Unfortunate that the Browns offense has been ass his whole career I think except one of the Baker years.

Shame he barely gets praised in the media, at least not to the extent that his talent/performance justifies.
Actually now I'm trying think of which defensive players get hype and I'm struggling. Media is just biased towards offensive players, people still talking about Aaron Rodgers more than Garrett and other deserving defensive players

Teams pass a lot more now
Hope not fckn with Taylor, White or Donald i know that much.
