HOF maybe if he isn't busted for roids everyone knows that keeps you out. To even compare Donald to Ronnie Freakin Lott oh lord.. He was 100x the player Donald is.


Lol you new at the nfl? Most players roid. And roids were really big in the 80s as well.

Yeah most do it but have you seen his body it's ridiculous. If you were to make a poster child for roids it would be Donald all day. Plus remember he roid raged vs us got angry on MNF and threw his helmet all over the place got ejected then got more angry. Classic roid rage.
Look at the 100 years all time team
he certainly deserves to be named with guys like Lilly Randle Greene… and replace one of them in the 125 years all time team
is he better than Olsen or Page, tough to say, football has changed so much but you cant deny he has been dominant throughout his career.
3 times DPOY is a rare accomplishment

i will not compare with other positions as i think it is meaningless (apple and pear thing)

Never understood how hyped Donald is, I don't think he ever took over a niner vs Rams game.
Four 49er defensive players who I don't think an unbiased GM would trade straight up for Aaron Donald :
Haley
Sanders
Lott
Jimmy Johnson

Yup exactly this. It's nuts. 49ers board saying they'd take Donroid over Lott or BY it's just shameful. Shut it down create a new site hope for better results
I hate Donald's personality.
It's very difficult to compare different positions and era's. I think it's very close between Donald and JJ Watt for the best of this generation.

I'm still a Lawrence Taylor guy at heart though, guy was a monster.

Donald may not have taken over a game against us, but he's completely altered our game plan, luckily to one that works.

Make it a safe space site for only extreme 49er homers who don't know anything else about the rest of the NFL.
Only if you're not including Lawrence Taylor,Ray Lewis, Deion Sanders, Ronnie Lott, Ed Reed, Reggie White, Charles Haley.

This. You'd think the "greatest defensive player of all-time" would at least have a couple badass games against the 49ers

Yup. I guess the greatest of all time got Bruns-killed.
He's a douche but he's the best D player of this generation

Anyone that saw LT, end of the conversation.

500x better than Donald I'd rather have LT for one season than Donald for his career.

Yup. Also, Reggie white and Bruce smith come to mind as well.

Yeah White, Smith, LT, Derrick Thomas, 100 other guys, heck BY was better maybe Donald got more sacks (yay) but BY was a much better run defender and better team player locker room guy. Dude won the Eshmont Award 8 times. You think Donald would have done that? See you in the Hall next to BY, Donald, if they don't bust you on roids first.

Yeah, Donald is better than Bryant Young, and he's my favorite 49er alongside Frank Gore. Sorry.
