Yeah, I also think that there's plenty of teams out there who, given the choice between Brady or Donald today, would absolutely take Donald. Brady's great, but he's especially effective because of all that BB builds around him, and McDaniels running the show. Aaron, on the other hand, is a drag and drop offense-destroyer.
To be fair, I'm pretty sure Skip was in a conference room, going over some potential hot takes to have, and someone was like: "You know who the de facto 'Best Player in the League' is, according to most people? Aaron Donald." And Skip snapped his fingers and grinned his trollish grin.
Secret seems to be playing devil's advocate so passionately that people think you truly believe it. Gets you noticed, shared on message boards, etc.
