Question

Who is a better safety and why, John Lynch or Rodney Harrison?

Answer 1

Wow........these guys must not really pay attention to defensive players like I do, so like me clear this up. Rodney Harrison has proved to be a better safety through his career than John Lynch. If you compare Lynch's best season (1999), to Rodney's best season (2000), you will see that Rodney's season was far more impressive.......Rodney is too slow to play man to man against fast receivers, but the Patriots to a good job of positioning their players to make the play, and he still has decent speed, and the ability to find get to the ball. Lynch is a harder hitter, but Harrison has had a better career than Lynch........if you don't believe me just look at the stats.......

In order to answer a "better safety" question, you have to ask yourself who would you rather have on your team in their prime?

Answer 2

Rodney Harrison, better cover corner, quick on recovery to the ball and a ferocious hitter, lynch can stuff a hole and stunt but he's lost a few steps.

Answer 3

Rodney Harrison is better because he can cover almost like a big cornerback. John Lynch is more like Roy Williams that plays for dallas big hitter but cant cover

Answer 4

Right now, Rodney Harrison.  John Lynch can't do much more than just stop the run at this stage in his career, while Rodney Harrison can still be trusted to drop back into coverage occasionally.

Answer 5

John lynch is just a hitter, Rodney harrison can cover, hit, and play center field
