Who was a better cornerback - Rod Woodson or Deion Sanders?

[Biolink]

Accidentally voted Deion.

As mentioned before in their peaks, Deion was like ****ing insanely good, but it didn't last long. Woodson had a consistent career

[Walt Liquor]

right on...

deon's peak was higher but too short... rod played at a high level his whole career...

he has almost 20 more picks and over double the forced fumbles

its funny to me that people buy into the deon hype and don't actually look at career and real numbers.

darrel green was the man too, i'd rank him higher than deon as well

[Danny Gunz]

deion sanders ran a 4.4 forty in tims...

Nobody was better than Deion at his best. He was shutting down half the football field on reputation alone. He didnt even to be good they were too scared to throw near him.

Sanders and its not even close. Rod could tackle and everything but he couldnt straight lock down one side like Deion. I mean, the dude wouldnt even go into the huddle in his prime. How sick is that? Its like this is my side and then you other 10 do whatever over there. Beast ****. His son looks pretty good also

[Easy-E]

deion at his peak was perhaps the best to ever play not only his position, but any position.

Im reading some of you guys post and you make Deion sound like he was Bo Jackson or something. He had 10 strong years where he beasted. You guys make it sound like he had like 3 prime years and then was hurt or something. Thats not true. He played 10 great years, then slipped a little his next & final year in Dallas. After that he wasnt Deion anymore but he played 10 years before that and was a beast from day 1 as a rookie. He's not Bo Jackson

The realist **** ever wrote right there!! I'm a Cowboy fan but people seem to forget D. Sanders in San Fran and in Atlanta, the best lock down corner and return man in the game plus he was a dual sport player and played receiver when it called for it.

[JoeKickAss]

You guys do know that not having a lot of INTs is because QBs don't even bother throwing the ball to the WR you're covering, right?

Just look at Nnamdi currently.

I can't believe how delusional some of you guys are...



for starters, the question is "who is the better cornerback" not who is more versatile, who can play WR etc etc...
