Chandler Jones: Is he already the best defensive player in franchise history?

[DVontel]

OP

 

[TheCardFan]

He may not even be the best defensive player in franchise history who is currently still playing.

Needs a few more years for that.

 

[Russ Smith]

Larry Wilson, Roger Wehrli, Aeneas Williams, different era but they were all great players too

 

[Delmar M Lewis]

Has a ways to but damn he Really is Good best trade Keim has ever made Drake looking good to so Keim may actually have made 2 of the biggest trades in Cards history and time will tell

Aeneas but he’s #2

Adrian Wilson wasnt to bad either from a defensive end position he is in the top 3 or 4 Cards have had Bert Berry, Al Bubba Baker and a few others but not too many are even in CJ's class

 

[HGC]

He’s up there. Chandlers production is nothing short of spectacular year in and year out.

 

[GuernseyCard]

Only if he makes it to the HOF.

 

[Delmar M Lewis]

We have never had a D lineman in the HOF that I can remember

 

[Solar7]

I would say Adrian Wilson, but Chandler is great.

check out Larry Wilson's stats

playing in an era where people didnt throw the ball all that much

 

[GatorAZ]

In my era of fandom it’s between CJ and Aeneas. PP and A-Dub are a notch below. The scary thing is he doesn’t seem to be slowing down.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

He is gaving an extremely impressive season.

He has been dominating, and today he won the game for us almost single handedly.

Man it’s getting to the point with him he just can’t be ignored. His numbers are getting historical. Reggie White type production year in and year out.

he’s by far the best pash rusher we have ever had.

 

[WildBB]

He's great for sure. Btw, never make another trade with NE while Belichick's still around.

Swann was also dominant rushing and vs. the run, for some pretty lean SDS years. Honorable mention for DL.

Larry Wilson was one tough SOB. If he played for the Packers or Cowboys, his name would resonate even more loudly. Any time you’re talking about the greatest defensive player in Cardinal history, it has to start with Larry Wilson.

 

[JosiahLee]

If he keeps playing hard, I’d be willing to consider him a top 100 player in the NFL.

 

[mojorizen7]

Swann was fairly dominant for an interior guy. Aeneas would be the guy though.

Adrian Wilson??? He was 1/50th the player Aeneas was.

Wilson made the 100th year team.

 

[Krangodnzr]

Since I've been watching (early 90s), Aeneas is the best. Then it's a toss up between Chandler and PP21. After that Adrian Wilson. Simeon Rice was pretty special too. Then we get to the Dockett/Kwamie Lassiter tier.

 

[Buckybird]

The back waxer is pretty damn good, but imo he’s not there yet! But he’s climbing the list constantly

my list:
1) Mr Cardinal #8
2) Aeneas
3) Los
4) Sackman
5) Calais

Good call on Los. Sackman?

Night Train Lane. They literally changed the rules because of him

 

[Chris_Sanders]

When they didn't throw and played only 12 games he has the NFL record for INTs in a season and is #4 all time
