Were it not for the small matter of Bruschi having chosen to retire, who would you rather have available to be on the field -- Bruschi or Seau?
I specify "on the field" because:
To a first approximation, the choice should be Bruschi -- most recently an elite player, most recently a solid starter, etc. But did Bruschi's speed decline so far that he would loose to Seau in a footrace? Is Seau less of a liability in coverage than Bruschi, notwithstanding that Bruschi was an INT TD machine not that many years ago?
If so, perhaps Seau is actually the better player to have.

- We know both gentlemen are outstanding locker room presences
- We can't know enough detail about what happens in the privacy of the locker room to choose one over the other on that basis
