All I can say is he's ahead of those slow, tiny, and white guys from the 60s. |

Urlacher or Seau? Who is the better player? |

'10 that he was hurt in that first week MNF? You see what that defense was like without him. |

Seau had a couple good years, but Urlacher's a franchise cornerstone who's virtually never had a bad season, barring the wrist injury year. |

Yeah I'd definitely say Urlacher. Seau's longevity in the legue was impressive though. |

Essentially 20 years in the league at that position is pretty incredible. |

Pro Bowl is a popularity contest. Not saying Seau wasn't good, but Urlacher is better. |

Five straight All Pro first teams too, right? |

Seau, but just barely, and the comparison is tough because while they were both linebackers they played very different styles. I do appreciate the change in attitudes on Urlacher though, who went from overrated stat-stuffer to consensus hall of famer in a year or two. About damn time. |

Hard to say really. Seau doing his custody exchanges at Jack-in-the-Box as opposed to various tollway oases might just give him the edge vs Urlacher. |
