I don't buy the 20.5 sacks in 86 is like getting 25 in 2014... there were 2 other players right on LT's tail in sacks, Manley with 18.5 and White with 18, which tells me that although 20.5 was a lot of sacks... it wasn't like he ran away with it... others were close to the same numbers.... Hell, White had 21 sacks the next season(a season in which you said Watt was having a comparable one to).
Let me list the players recently with 18 or more sacks...
2013, Mathis at 19.5, Quinn at 19
2012, Watt 20.5, Smith 19.5, Miller 18.5
2011, Allen 22, Ware 19.5, Babin 18
2010, nobody, tops was 15.5(Ware)
2009, nobody, tops was 17(Dumervil)
2008, Ware 20
Seems pretty comparable...
Sacks seem about the same as they did in 1986, or at least about as hard to get them.
I highly doubt Watt will win... like has been mentioned, it's Rogers' to lose... but Watt is the most dominant defensive player in the NFL right now... and the offensive touchdowns are a nice touch to go along with that.

I don't own kid gloves.
