If Kevin Smith didn't bust his achilles, we would have had the greatest CB tandem in history....

I agree. As for Deion, I have been watching the NFL for over 40 years and in my view there was no CB who could shut down people like Deion or put fear into the QB as Deion did. QB's got to the point that they would even look his way for the most part

- and I keep thinking about how he offered up T.O. as a sacrifice on National TV.
A true Cowboy doesn't do that to another one, just because of his ratings. He could have downplayed the incident, and still covered it in the interview- instead of just loving on T.O. and then sticking it to him on national TV.

So, do you hate Troy Aikman, too? Troy doesn't pull any punches when he is covering the Cowboys...

Which one are you? Is this 5 with a new identity?

Don't hijack threads just to make personal insults, please.
If I was 5 you would have been buried by now. By the way nothing in my post was insulting but I don't believe one minute that you feel the way you do about Deion. I think you like to start controversial threads just to get attention. Not one time in the last 2 years have you posted on the ranch anything negative about Deion.

Believe it or not I really felt bad for you for what they did to you at the ranch. Noone deserves that kind of abuse and I didn't partake in any of it. Then you lay this egg about Deion, not the part that you don't care for him but the highly paid bust comment is the most ridiculous thing I have heard by anyone who calls themselves a football fan.

I won't hijack your thread because that not what I do. I normally stay away from anything you post because it is always overtop. I actually think your a good poster but some of your topics(Barber can't hold Juluis Jones jock, David Carr will be a better QB then Romo) and many others are borderline insane.

I hated Deion until the day he signed with the Cowboys, liked him as a player on our team (but hated the antics), then back to hatred when he joined the Commanders (the ultimate traitorous act).

I don't consider Deion a Cowboy but let's face it - he lives in Dallas, clearly has an inside relationship with Jerry Jones, and is friends with several members of the current team. Fine. Like the OP, I just hope he is not the face of our organization. I'd rather that be Romo, Witten and D.Ware.

I dont doubt his talent. I just dont like him.

I will say this though. in 92 aikman, irvin and harper made deion look pretty average. Everybody caught balls on him all over the field and emmit made him look silly running through his tackles.

My personal opinion is Darell Green was a better football player, deion is probably the most talented corner to ever play the position but I think Green is the guy who played the position the best and was the better football player.

I think Deion was the best pure cover CB to play. He was not physical but he still made the tackle the majority of the time. Deion like Ali did irritate people because they boosted but Deion like Ali worked at this skill.

Deion it was said would break down WR and find weakness or find where a WR would unknowingly tip the rout by his actions.

I liked Green and feel he was one of the best to play the game but I have seen NO CB where QB's in general got to the point they just would not look his way too often

His Danny White-was-as-good-as-Roger Staubach post from two weeks ago was quite revealing.

I agree that Deion was important to our last Super Bowl win. There's no denying that. He had an outstanding season that year.

After that, though, he may have simply tried to do too much. He began to get involved with the offense, and then turf toe sidelined him a lot.

I just didn't see that we benefitted from having him after the first year. We didn't win a lot, and we didn't gain any more Super Bowl rings.

And, I can't say that Deion is the only reason we won a Super Bowl that year. We probably would have won without him, and probably should have won the previous year while he was with San Francisco- except for the non-call on pass interference, and the three turnovers early that put us way behind.

No one questions that he is an impact player; but if he wants to be remembered as a Cowboy, then he should stick with his loyalties, and not be a part of the roasting of one of our stars.

I don't go for this "holier than thou" atitude, as if he's the reason that Adam Jones will be a success in Dallas. Adam Jones was a success in Tennessee, and if the Michael Vick story had broken 4 months sooner, Jones would have never been suspended.

Totally disagree. Couldn't disagree more in fact.

If we dont sign Deion in 95 we don't win the Superbowl. Do you really think we'd have gone all the way with Larry Brown and Cornerback #4 as our starters that year? Cause remember Kevin Smith went down in the first game and while the backup, and Brown, were good enough until Deion showed up at midseason, that was regular season football. Come playoff time we'd have been in trouble, particularly in the NFC Championship Game, if we didn't have Deion in there to shut down one side of the field of options for Favre that day.

This makes no sense. Had Smith remained healthy, Deion never would have been a Cowboy. Instead, he blows out his heel in Game One, making it imperative that we sign Deion away from the Niners. We may have flirted with the idea of signing Deion before Smith got hurt, but that's as far as it got. Once Smith went down, Deion became a necessity instead of a luxury.

I don't see Deion giving any of his former teams/stop off's the amount of love that he gives the Cowboys.
Agreed.

But the NFL HoF is not like the MLB Hall. People that have played for multiple teams don't have to choose which team they will represent. Baseball only does it that way because the player busts are wearing hats and they need a particular logo to put on them.

Outside of his first season with the Cowboys, I can't see that he was anything but a highly paid 'bust'- because he spent more time on the sidelines than in the games.

I could not disagree more with that comment.

Yeah, but the first season and we go to the Superbowl and win it all... I thought in this forum that was the most important thing?

This might be the funniest thread ever. Dion loves Dallas. Not as much as he loves Dion, but close. Heck I think he helped T.O. to buck up and act like a man.T.O. is finally feeling for something other then himself, he loves Romo long time. You want to blame him for being hurt blame that crap they called a field, lime green concrete. Dion is one the reasons I watch NFL network, love the Primetime. I just hope he does not go on dancing with the stars.
