oh and before I forget:
"i hope no one makes a case for ray lewis being the best "middle linebacker ever". probably the best in the NFL right now, but cmon, he doesn't even compare to Dick Butkus"
"He's the only one you could compare to Ray Lewis, and Ray Lewis can do more."
Ray Lewis is a very good LB, but wouldnt even have been a starter on the Steeler teams of the mid to late 70s, certainly not in the middle anyway (Jack Lambert, 9 Pro Bowls), nor at the left OLB spot (Jack Ham, 8 Pro Bowls). maybe, just maybe he could have beaten out Andy Russell (7 Pro Bowls) for the other OLB postion, but probably not. when Russell retired after the 1976 season, ONLY THEN would Ray have gotten a starting spot, as I sdoubt Loren Toews would have started in front of him.
