Thus far Ty Law is in the HOF. If Gilmore's career ended today, I don't think he would make it. So as of right now, Ty Law. Ty has 15 years, 203 games, 5 Pro Bowls, 53 Ints, and 823 Int return yards.
I think the question is who’s better in their prime, not who has the better career (obviously that’s Law right now).
I didn't understand your reasoning.And I chose Ty Law. I don't think that was unclear.
Are we comparing careers or ability? Two totally different things. Why are people bringing up Laws resume. We know its superior.
Because it establishes a context. It is very difficult to compare a player who plays now to a player who was in his prime 15 years ago. Memories are short. Human tendency is to remember here and now. Most people assume the best of their era is the best of all time. LeBron vs Michael will never be settled, although I think its Michael. I cannot fault someone for saying LeBron. Giving Ty Law's context helps remember how special he really was. I don't think that is rocket science.
Ty was awesome. I was a huge fan of his and still am. I am not caught in any moment. I just reminded everyone that its much tougher to be a cover corner in todays game. That weighs in Gilmore's favor.
