Gerald McCoy Best DT in NFL?

Top Five, not best.

There's still Suh, Ngata, Watt, Hatcher, Atkins, Wilfork, Wilkerson, etc.

Just strictly looking at 4-3 DTs, I would put Atkins #1 when he is healthy and then McCoy.

Hard to really compare a 4-3 DT to a 3-4 NT like Ngata and Wilfork although Ngata does play a lot of DT when Baltimore goes to a 4-3.

And yet, on a 4-3 formation they'd be rushing on the inside.

That's not really the topic of conversation here, lol. Both are listed, by their teams, as DEs. So, when you put them in a list, they are what their position says they are.

I think it is most certainly. A 3-4 DE is virtually a DT. To consider them otherwise is like comparing a 3-4 OLB to a 4-3 OLB. A guy like Watt could potentially play DE in a 4-3 but his best numbers have come from destroying guards.

I guess we'll start saying that Richard Sherman is the beast SS, too, because he could play it on another team. Or Ryan Kalil is one of the best Guards, because he can play that. This argument is ridiculous.

so for simplicity sake, we'll stick to 4-3 DT's because thats pretty much what Lovie is referring to.  and mccoy would be considered with Atkins and Suh in the top 3.

it didnt take star 3 years to develop like it did mccoy

 

Yep.  McCoy gets all the pub because he's been the shiny turd on a line made of farts for the past few years, and also because Tampa craves another Warren Sapp.  I'm not saying he isn't a good player....but he's been the benefactor of a lot of hype.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
