1- they're two different types of player. Nelson was more like Polamalu and Bates was more Earl Thomas.
2.) Also Nelson played with in Prime Geno and thus always had a great pass rush to make his job easier.
Bates never had luxury of a great Pass rush in front of him and the defense was built around his ability to cover the deep pass.
With all things considered I'll go with Bates but it's more Apple and Oranges.
