I posted this in the other thread, but people who rank Aaron Donald as the best in the league regardless of position (which is a fucking stupid term anyway, because then we need to see way more kickers and punters on these lists) are fucking idiots, too.
He's incredible. He's amazing. He is. I'm not shitting on him. But he's not better at being a DT than Mahomes is at being a QB.
It's entirely a case of people trying to sound smart and intelligent by cutting against grain of the league's QB-driven culture.
I get it. It's a noble goal. It's important to acknowledge the accomplishments of all these other incredible athletes who don't quite fit mold of athlete that is an NFL QB. Because so many of them work just as fucking hard to accomplish their goals, too.
But fucking stop it. It's stupid and pointless. [Reply]
I'm guessing some of NFL players probably just looked at his stats and said "meh, pedestrian numbers compared to last year" and didn't pay attention at all to the fact that he was injured and that much of his offense was decimated for a 2-3 game stretch. [Reply]

Same guys voted him #4 when he had 50 TD and 5,000 yards the previous season. [Reply]
