Because of the team He plays on and the position he plays, Watt most likely will not win MVP honors, but he's every bit as destructive as LT and all of the other greats before him, he sits at the table with them.


With his 20.5 sacks Watt becomes the only player in NFL History to record multiple 20 sack seasons. In only his 4th season he already has two of the most prolific seasons ever posted by a defensive player and will already be a two time DPOY award winner.

That is amazing on any number of levels.

 

I'm not sure where he will fit all time amongst the all time great pass rushers/defenders, but at this point, he certainly deserves being in the discussion of the all time greats.

 

As a Jaguars fan, what else could I say?

 

Just this year alone, he was responsible fir 6 sacks and a safety against my team.

 

That's a career for many guys.

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

I would put him in the HOF even if he never played again.

He is special. Definitely the defensive player of the year. If the texans win the division he may be up there for MVP

He was the best DE in the NFL this season and the best Defensive player in the NFL this year.  To say he was the MVP for the NFL when the team didnt make the playoffs is a hard argument because if you are the MVP of the entire NFL wouldnt you be in the post season like Peyton Manning did for the Broncos?

Clowney was so unnecessary

I disagree, had Clowney not been injured having that kind of pass rush on the opposite side of JJ Watt wouldve helped out the Defense even more... I wonder if going to so many different teams in special practices prior to the draft (espeically Jets) caused him to get injured... though it happened in the first regular season so maybe not..

When I think of JJ Watt, all that comes into my head is trading up for Gabbert.

JJ Watt will go into the Hall of Fame while in ten years nobody will even know who Blaine Gabbert is.... if they even know now (and arent a Jaguars or 49ers fan)

 

Drafted in 2011 JJ Watt has 295 Tackles, 57 Sacks (two seasons with 20+), 12 Forced Fumbles, 11 Fumble Recoveries, 1 INT for 80 yards and a TD, 37 PDs, 62 Stuffs, 4 Blocked Kicks and thats only on Defense!
