Just one example: 

Myles Jack -Will    --   Poz - Mike       --     Daryl Smith  Sam

Always mystified by this take. No disrespect, you aren't the only one to see it that way. 

There is just no comparison to my eyes. Fred's skillset was so far beyond MJD's I seriously don't even consider it a fair comparison. 

Fred had a half dozen ways to make guys miss and find space to run.  MJD had two, or the option to get low and try to bowl the defender over.  
Two distinctly different levels of athleticism on display to my eyes.

Fred was finesse to MJD's wrecking ball. Not even a comparison to be made. Apples to oranges IMO.

Freddy and finesse being in the same sentence sounds funny. He could definitely shake a few defenders. But he also had a mean.... and I do mean "MEAN" stiff arm. I remember watching him destroy Jamie Sharper during his prime with the Ravens with a stiff arm.

And of course the classic "GTFO of my way" shoulder of boom to Mike Doss on the way to the house with a look back. Freddy was awesome. As good and as exciting as MJD was to watch. Freddy's accomplishments in spite of missing probably 3 - 4 years worth of football is nothing short of amazing. 

I know a lot of folks clamor for Boselli and Smith to be in the HoF. I think Freddy deserves to be numero uno on that list IMHO.
