Bill Belichick on comparing anyone to Lawrence Taylor

LT the greatest ever

[milk]

He's not wrong. LT was legendary. 10/10 GOAT. What's there to determine. I have no issue with Bill's response.

[chrissett]

LT was simply the best....
Defensive player in the NFL for many years. I'm glad I was able to watch him.

[joeboo]

LT was the only guy who could consistently block PATs in Tecmo Bowl. He is the "Bo Jackson" of defense.

[agentcodybanx]

LT was a once in a lifetime player. He could get placed in any Era of football and dominate

[mspionage]

He makes a good point. The media and their ridiculous desire to compare is ridiculous at this point.

[allenellis]

Heard Bill Parsells talk in person once. At the end he fielded one question. "Who was the best player you ever coached?" The response was "Lawrence Taylor and its not even close."

[kgcane]

He is absolutely right! LT was on another level!

[VULGARxRM]

It's funny for younger people just because they really don't know, but this is the truest thing Bill Belichick has ever said.

[hellorg]

As a Pats fan, i think Bill cherishes LT more than Brady...

[jagger]

Belichek would be a great ventriloquist

[michaelmccauley]

As an Eagles fan, I think someone should ask Ron Jaworski about LT. I’m reasonably certain he still wakes up screaming with night sweats dreaming about his “meetings” with a young Lawrence Taylor.

[NYSkinsFan]

I’m a Redskins fan and he’s 100% right
We started the two tight end set and would motion the second TE to the side where LT was
Dude changed football

No one presently can even tie his friggin shoes

[MrOccyc]

They’re both linebackers but that’s where the similarity ends.

[pputnam]

maybe the only defensive player who is a legitimate greatest player in football history candidate

[juniorpena]

In today's game they love to overhype, He's 💯 on this.

[thehound]

I was only able to watch Taylor near the end of his career but I love watching highlights of him. Unbelievable player.

[dontbugme]

I've only been watching since the 70's so maybe someone pre-1972 was better, but since then, NOBODY was a more disruptive defensive force then LT. Not to take anything away from Joe Greene, Reggie White and many others but LT could just WRECK a game.

[markcook]

I remember a game back in the day when somebody must have got a shot in on LT. I don't know what happened All I know is LT went ''OFF'' and completely took that game over, To this day I've never seen anything like it .That man was a force to be reckoned with. Carson a perfect bookend...

[buschleaguers]

i have heard quite a few people say they think lawrence taylor is the best football player of all time.

[chrisgecaj]

Straight up hands-down the best ever!!
