This tweet from PFF has turned into quite the debate:

 

Full Disclosure: As a Browns fan, a former high school/college OL, and a current high school OL coach, I may be a bit biased. I just don't get the people picking LT here; is it nostalgia? Is it people seeing Bill Belichick get teary-eyed talking about LT as a player?

I don't see how LT would win no more than a small fraction of snaps against Joe. Bad NFL OT's win over 90% of snaps taken. Joe gave up 30 sacks in 10,363 plays over 11 seasons: a 99.7% success rate.

I say Joe > LT. What do you think?
