    Like they said though Takeo could easily move up into those "standings" after next year.

      none of those guys are better than Spikes- the guy that wrote this didn't watch enough Bills games over the last two seasons.

        What you have to understand is that Brooks has been on a high level for a longer period than Spikes and has that ever elusive SB Ring.

          See I feel like that's what people said last year though, and he went out this season and outperformed everybody. 4 sacks, 4 forced fumbles, 5 interceptions, 2 returned for TD's. I got the feeling that this article was pertaining more to the present and to this upcoming season, not their careers. I respect what Derrick Brooks has done, but I don't think he's been better then Takeo these last couple seasons, and now he's 32.

          Whatever, it's not a big deal, but I'd much rather have Takeo heading into this season over Brooks, or anyone else on that list.

            Good point. But in the 2004-2005 season of NFL football, Takeo Spikes was the best Outside Linebacker in the league, bar none.

              Well I see both of them play!!! Brooks was a great LB a few years ago. Takeo is better now. But I see both of these guys as different OLB's. That really is a tough question but both are great...

                I think Brooks has been. They will pass each other this year or next as Brooks declines and Spikes rises

                  Brooks was good a couple years ago,but Spikes is better right now. Much better. See last season for more.

                    AMEN, Brooks was the man 3-4 years ago hands down. I think the torch has been passed to TKO. He is clearly the better OLB. Brooks is still no slouch though.

                        ...and Brooks plays in a "sexier" market which the national media whores love. Spikes has played in Buffalo and Cincinnati, two places that receive no love and are regularly ignored.

                          I get upset because I feel that Fletcher is over looked because of Spikes. The man has led the team in tackles for 3 years!

                            spikes is the best linebacker in football (yes including ray lewis) and could be the best deffensive player in the nfl.

                            do you remember a few years ago when someone said that spikes was better than lewis and the ravens got all gay about it? at that point spikes was close to lewis, but prolly not there yet. he is definately better now.

                            spikes is a top 5 deffensive player in the nfl, might be the best deffensive player in the nfl overall.

                            if we had a steadier pass rush from our front four, he would get more sacks (being the fifth man in on some plays) prolly 10+. that would put him up with LT's numbers.

                            spikes does every single thing better than every other linebacker in the nfl.

                            5 ints and 2 tds would be a career year for a CB who gets to the pro bowl regularly, and spikes has done that or close to the last 2 years.

                              No. Takeo is better
