Is Deion Sanders overrated?

[Loso86]

Are you the post judge? You seriously think you are the guy to judge what is a good or bad post? I asked an honest question and some internet tough guys like you freak out. Can't just move on. The internet was made for losers like you. Stepping back and blowing people up because you can with anonymity. It's pathetic. Share your opinion on the post or not. Pretty simple.

You talk a big game from behind the keyboard the same way you made your post I responded get over yourself because your post wasn't liked idiot. If you get this uptight when someone dislikes your post then stop posting smdh. Was I the only one who disliked your post or found it interesting?? I don't think so.

That's what this place is missing...a dislike button. Once you hit it you cannot comment on someones post. Revolutionary and my idea. Save a lot of arguing.

 

[NotForLong]

Clown comment. Don't like the post move on.

Lol . . . clown post

A few. Most did. A turd pile like you needs to keep yapping. So yap away.

 

[cowboyec]

no.
he was that good.
i'd still go with mel renfro,personally.
but 21 is a true legend.
no myth.

 

[cowboyec]

Champ Bailey was better.

no...he wasn't.

 

[cowboyec]

Mel Renfro was better.

It's personal opinion but Charles Woodson over Sanders for me.

Deion couldn't and sometimes wouldn't even try to tackle. This was particularly true in traffic. He was so bad it was entertaining just to watch him avoid it.

Deion was a gifted athlete and a savvy football player, don't get me wrong. He would trick QB's into testing him until the only QB's that were willing to try were dumb rookies. However, if you were a power back coming around a corner and there was Deion, you were going to have some fun.

I might put Deion in the top ten, but I just can't put him in the top three. A top three defender could destroy an offense in the passing and running game.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Heck, No!

His lack of ability to tackle is overblown. Tell me the last time a missed tackle by Deion costed the Falcons, 49ers or Cowboys a game? (I don't count his time with the Washington team or the Ravens because he was on his last leg by then.)

Deion is the last shutdown corner, and there won't be another like him in a long time. The term is used loosely nowadays. It has been applied to Darrelle Revis, but Revis wasn't in Deion's league.

Deion Sanders singlehandedly made corner a popular position. I've witnessed it first hand in the hood. Black kids playing skill positions formerly gravitated toward quarterback, running back, and wide receiver. Deion came on the scene, and kids suddenly wanted to play cornerback, including my son.

He was as dynamic at his position as LT and Reggie White were at theirs. And he had the talent to play wide receiver - not to mention he was one of the best special teams players ever.

Overrated? Pulease!

I agree with you for the most part, but Revis certainly is in Deion’s league

 

[dcstar]

Yes

Go Cowboys!

Putting this out there because I am very curious plus his name came up in the top 3 defender thread.

I say absolutely yes. Great athlete for sure. Elite speed. Great CB but I don’t see him as the best of all time. He was a pure cover guy. Literally avoided tackles and contact. Even joked about it. I think that really hurt his greatness in my opinion. One of the biggest games in his career Irvin abused him plus he got away with a couple pass interference calls. So I say yes. Great player but not the best CB. Not in the discussion in my opinion.

What do you folks say?

You're either an old timer that hated it when Jerry bought the team of you're too young to have watched Deion play.

 

[Zekeats]

Champ Bailey was better.

lol

 

[Zekeats]

literally took away half the field. Greatest corner of all time. He wasn't a poor tackler, just wasn't crazy physical doing it. His coverage was a different level. Nobody compares.

Overrated? he is the best corner to ever play the game. Screw the tackling, the guy was a beast punt returner.

An expected response from one of the biggest a holes on this forum.

 

[Zekeats]

I say people that respond like this are too stupid to offer a response. Too stupid to just pass on a post they don’t like. Lived with their parents too long. Likely struggle with the ladies.

So you started this thread knowing it was going to fuel a couple of those responses cause yes, it's ridiculous. It's like the argument who's the best QB of all time? Who's the best basketball player of all time? We all know the answers to those, we all know the answer to this one too. Now there will always be a few nuts and people who just wanna argue but we all know who's number one.

One last thing if your gonna say he's not the best then you gotta say who was the best and I'm sure this is gonna get good now.

I said Mel Blount yesterday. I also didn’t know it was going to twist so many panties. Can’t have an opinion and discussion these days without a bunch of computer commandos getting riled up This thread is making me question why I bother. Used to be fun but now this forum is littered with jerk offs.

They call it the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Deion Sanders is a Hall of Fame Football Player.

You can have an opinion, but the fact is the best corner ever is Deion.
