Brian Dawkins is the greates of all time no question?

Don't answer until youv'e watched Weapon X trailer. Ed Reed does NOT have a ring, he plays behind the greatest LB of our time maybe of all time and is okay, but he isn't ANYTHING compared to the weapon. Brian Dawkins INSPIRED Ed Reed, Weapon is the only reason Dawks is in the league so there.

    Dawkins plays with a lot more heart than Ed Reed, who btw has 0 rings

    Dawkins is a lot better at stopping the run and being physical, but in terms of pass defense Ed Reed is by far, much better. look at the stats.

    The greatest FS of all time is Ronnie Lott my friend. Maybe Rod Woodson, even tho he was mostly a CB. Also, jack Tatum

    PS Jack tatum inspired ronnie lott, trust me

    Sorry to say.. but Dawkins won't even be considered in the top 10 best safeties to play the game. My guess is that you are an Eagles fan.. because no logical person would make this arguement.. at least not anyone that has watched football for more then 10 years.

    Plus.. no one would say that Reed is the greatest of all time either. Have you ever heard of Lott or Tatum.. amongst many others?

    You've gotta be kidding! No doubt Dawkins is good, but to say that he's the best ever thats going a lil overboard. Ever heard of Steve Atwater, and Ronnie Lott. Lott is the best safety of all time hands down. The guy lost half of his finger in a game, and stayed on the field and finished the game. He's got my vote!

    Can I use your logic against you?

    Ronnie Lott inspired Steve Atwater

    Steve Atwater inspired Brian Dawkins

    Brian Dawkins inspired Ed Reed.

    The greatest FS of all time is Ronnie Lott. I'm yet to find another player who will cut off his own finger just so he can play that week.

    Good luck!!

    im not an Eagles fan but Im sad he left Philly, the Eagles did alot for him and the city of Philly loved him. He has a greater chance of winning the SB in Philly than in Denver. Hes getting old anyway next year will be his 14th year, he might have left because he was only getting a 1 yr deal instead of 2 yr deal that he got from Denver. Hopefully the Eagles draft a good safety and can still win the Super Bowl He was the heart and soul of the Eagles and I think they shouldve gave him 2 yrs because of how hard he plays. Its definately sad to see him leave Philly

    No his not....ever heard of Ronnie Lott or Steve Atwater

    Brian Dawkins doesn't have a ring either so what's your point

    Ray Lewis-greatest LB of all time......No I don't think so!!!!

    How old are you?

    Lawrence Taylor, Dick Butkus, Brian Urlacher, Bill Romanowski, Junior Seau

    Dawkins is a great player but do you honestly think he could even be in the same category as Ronnie Lott?

  • 1 decade ago
