Woodson or Sanders who was better?

I’m waiting for the Analyst to give us a dissertation on how someone told him to think Deon is the best

 

One of mine too!

 

Woodson all the way.

 

I’ll take Woodson. He was all that n a bag of chips.

However, still mad he went to the Ratbirds.

 

The vote is a biased 28-0. Go to a Cowboys message board and ask the question, my guess is it would not be 28-0 in favor of Sanders.

 

Sanders was definitely better in coverage, I remember Woodson getting beat deep by Sterling Sharpe, and Terry Glenn, I don't ever remember Sanders getting beat deep in his prime.

 

Sanders liked getting beat on the inside slant route. At least from when I've watched him play.

 

Take it to a board for any team in the league other than the Steelers and Cowboys and Sanders would win big.

 

I guess there is a point here

But you lost me at “ go to a Cowboys message board”

 

Maybe, but there is more merit to their argument in favor of Sanders.

 

Now if You said who was the most Hyped CB in the NFL....D. Sanders would win it hands down. I know kids that have never seen D. Sanders play, and they know who He is....They would say He's the greatest....I have trouble listening 2 people that have never actually watched Him play. Yet never one time seeing Him play they would swear He's the greatest....if that's not Hype....I don't know what is.

 

Rod easily. EASILY. Honestly, it's not close. And Sanders wasn't "better" in coverage than Rod. They each had different strengths and weaknesses there, but overall were pretty equivalent. People like to "give" that to Sanders because of how poor the comparison is for him in all other aspects (like giving a team trailing by 30 in the 4th a couple of penalties against the other team). But that's just disrespecting how PHENOMENAL Rod was in sticking like glue to guys all over the field.

As to the greatest corner of all time, that's even less close. It's Mel, of course. I don't say that to reiterate what others here have already said, but instead to state that as I've said many times ever since I watched him play all those decades ago, he is still, to this day, the best all around defensive player, regardless of position, I've ever seen. Bar none. People use the terms "inhuman/not of this Earth" to describe athletes from time to time.

He actually was.

 

I remember watching the NFL All-Time Top 100 a few years ago and Boomer Esiason was pretty vocal about Woodson should have been top CB because the other guy didn’t like to be physical “…and you all know who I’m talking about!” Woodson was definitely feared and respected by opposing QBs.

 

The interceptions aren't close because people spent YEARS not throwing deion's way.

 

I'm taking primetime. He's by far the best cover corner ever which is the most IMPORTANT aspect of the postion. But Woodson was the better football player and better overall DB. He could play any postion in the secondary. But strictly talking about corner, it's no argument that prime is the guy.

 

Not even close...Woodson! Sanders didn't even attempt to tackle, and played like a Girl imo...Speed out the Ass, but he was a pansy....

Except when it came to women...He liked to get pyshical with them...F*** him!

 

Really...LoL. I can tell You never watch Him play. Guess Who the 1st TD pass of the SB XXX by the Steelers was thrown against??

 

One play doesn't define his whole career and it was like a Lil 5 yard pass. Acting like he got burned deep or something.

 

If we're team building I'm taking sanders all day.
They are both HOFers so it's going to be close.

In 2022 give me deion. I get to forget about a player. The game is now is 10 on 10.

My preference would b to play more man than zone so gimme the guy more inclined to play man.

I'd be happy either way though.

 

Holy homerism… did I actually read someone call Woodson a better athlete?? I would run out of L’s and O’s if I had to type out the hysterically inaccuracy of that statement. Sanders was the better corner and it’s not even close… oh but he couldn’t tackle!!! He didn’t have to cause they never threw more than a few times in his general direction.

 

Oh so only deep passes matter. LoL.
So let me get this straight....D. Sanders was the greatest corner ever....unless...
1. He had 2 tackle
2. He had 2 cover inside slants routes, and ....
3. Unless they were short passes.....LoL....
Yeah sounds like the greatest ever. LoL
So many just repeat what they hear.

 

So You want 2 play more man against more running Qbs????
