I wouldnt say he is the best defensive player ever. But I would say he is an all time great.

Go look at Terry Bradshaw's stats
Stats for a QB from the 70s lol. You realize there was no penalty for defensive holding til the end of his career right? You could mug receivers up and down the field no foul. Imagine Mahomes stats with that.
And Olineman couldn't even extend theirs arms or open their hands to block. Context is needed for QB stats prior to 1978.

False. Just stating for this era, he isn't even the best. Id take JJ Watt. Could even make a case for Darrelle Revis. Aaron Donald is in the room of the best defensive players ever and a 1st ballot Hall of Famer, but not the best. Not by a longshot.

He's definitely the greatest of all time for choking players that destroy him or he can't out rush and not getting any punishment.

For the most part ya, but there were QBs back then putting up much better numbers than Bradshaw.

Reggie White was a much better defensive lineman.

No way in hell is Donald the best ever. Honestly doesn't even make my top 10.
Cornerbacks
Middle Linebackers
DE/OLB
Those position's have priority over DT on my list.

Nahh.. you all would be proclaiming he's the best ever. Hell, a lot of you guys already think Bosa is the best ever.

There are only 3 players to have 3 Defensive Players of the Year in NFL History (one being Donald), and he doesn't make your top 10?!
LOL.
