Fairley but only for a game.
Brown, if healthy, will have a much better pro career.

Nick. He had one of the greatest seasons we’ve ever seen from a DT.

Brown. If only for being good for more than one year.
ETA: I'm having a case of recency bias. I just watched the video posted earlier in the thread and I remember his DSOR and Iron Bowl games. I forgot how big he was in the BCSNC and the LSU game that year. Dude was a damn monster. But I'm still picking DB for longevity. He's been a legit 4 year impact player.

Nick Fairley was like a wild animal. At times, our own coaches couldn't control him. I'll never forget Trooper Taylor running after him with that towel trying to chase Nick off the field after he almost started a brawl late in the Georgia game.

Nick Fairley by a country mile. Brown is good, but while brown is bitching at refs about missing holding calls, fairley was cleaning grass off his visor after planting a qb on his arse.
They held fairley. They cut block fairley. It didn’t matter.

Overall Derick is the more complete player. I guess I’ll choose him but it’s close

We really had a generational player on both sides of the ball.

Brown all day, how is this a question?

Uh what? Did you watch Fairley? There is a reason he won so many awards

Fairly in 2010 was unblockable and took souls on the football field. A giant among men in a league full of men. So many huge plays in huge situations. It’s been a decade and he’s still talked about all the time on here. Brown had an amazing career and is an amazing rep for Auburn University and he’s one of my all time faves but Fairley changed the rules of the game.

Because Fairley made quarterbacks quit. He slammed Jordan Jefferson in the LSU game and JJ admitted he quit after that. Bama only scored 3 points once he was into the game. That guy was a monster.

Nah dipshit, never did.
Regardless, too much drama always surrounding the guy o, would much rather Brown suit up for AU.

The answer is easy. If you can make a opposing QB's momma get on Facebook 8 years later and spew her PTSD from watching you maul her baby...you are special in my heart, especially if that momma wears red and black.
Fairly could decide to change the game, and do it. Double teams, holds, cheap shots be damned. It didn't matter. He did take some plays off, but the plays when
Auburn need him to change the game. He delivered.
Brown, is probably a better team mate, captain, and leader on the team. The guy never loafs or takes a down off. He is the epitome of never quit. He's a class act and is universally respected across the league, even by our rivals.
They were both awesome to watch wear the orange and blue. I'm excited to watch Brown one more time.

There it is. The dumbest thing I will read all day.

Regardless of who anyone thinks is better, I do know one thing. Rodney Garner can coach up a DT! How we ever lose a DT we want to another school, is beyond. Garner's resume is like no other in producing talent.

Not even close. Fairley did it for one year - Brown did it for 4 years.

What? He was on the field and got a 15 yard penalty on one of bama's early TD drives.

Do you use that logic with Cam also?
As good as Brown is, Fairly was a game-changer. When the light went on for him, there was no better. I have yet to see a DT as disruptive as he was, both physically and mentally.

My bad, over the years I thought he was suspended for the first half of game.
