BTW, has anybody ever seen his hands?   Noticed them on a preseason game one time.   Don't remember which hand it was but it had three fingers pointing in directions fingers aren't supposed to point.

But then you look at Walter Jones, who wasn't much bigger at first (I think he started around 290-295, can't find the article, Munoz was 280) and he is the most legendary recent player, for giving up sacks (well, Whitworth's been better actually lol) and you wonder if he would've been even more dominant, in the 80s.

Its hard to say; its the whole Babe Ruth/Ted Williams argument too.

You can only really stack up competition at that time, as projections and hypothesis for future or past, just can't be done, really.

Reggie white, LT, Bruce smith, Leroy selmon are the ones I can think of just off of the top of my head. I'm sure theres more. LT and white are probably the best ever at their positions too.

I broke my ring finger in half a couple of years back, I'm not sure which is actually more painful but I'd say from the looks of it, those dislocations are no joke.
