BULL. I remember a Monday Night Football game in 1990 when Rice lit up Deion for not one, not two, not three, not four, but FIVE TD’S in a 45-35 Niner win.. Deion was good, but NOBODY could cover Rice.

Champ runs a 4.28 but Owens kills him every time they play against each other. Champ is one deminsional. Just a corner. Deion is a triple threat…something Champ would love to be but just doesn’t have that much talent. Receiver, punt returner, kick off returner, please! He’s good, but in the same class as Deion, nope! He’s in the same class as maybe a guy like Darell Green or a Eric Allen. Deion looks down on all y’all.

However, I do have DVDs in which players and coaches talk about Primetime and the main thing almost everyone said was that people didn’t throw his way. I have a DVD in which Bob Costas says team were “afraid” to throw it to his side of the field.

Obviously I’ve heard all the comments and stories that he couldn’t tackle to save his life but honestly, that is wasn’t he was drafted or signed to do. His job was make a receiver a non-factor for 60 minutes and that is what he did.

Another thing a lot of people forget is that Deion never even perfected his craft. I’ve heard a quite a few people say his technique wasn’t that good and he made many of his plays on athletisicm alone. He didn’t attend a training camp until the 1996 season in which he had to play learn the WR position. He didn’t attend training camp and missed 5 games of the 94 season yet he still recorded 6 picks and returned them for 3 TDs.

Granted, Champ Bailey is amazing. He does EVERYTHING well but is probably only a hair behind Deion athletically, however, I don’t think comparing him to Deion is fair. Deion and Bailey are two completely different players who played at different periods.

Personally, I believe Deion is the greatest cover corner of all-time while Champ Bailey will probably edge out Rod Woodson as the most complete corner of all time when his career is over.

Champ is just better all around. Sanders could interecept a ball and he could cover great. Champ does that and more. the thing is champ gets better and better each year and will be better than any other corner for years to come. sanders is good dont get me wrong. just not as good as champ.

I’m only 15 so I haven’t seen as much of Deion but Champ is my favorite player of all time. What makes him so great is that he is never cocky on the feild. He does what he does best, defend, and stays humble about. He acts like he’s done it more then once and its a regular for him. He plays true football

I bet Deon wouldn’t even be the second best corner in todays game. the rules have changed and not in favor of the CB.

And champ was a sporty 4.28 in the forty so a .07 second advantage isn’t enough said for me. sorry you bought the deon koolaid.

Prime is the best shutdown/shutOUT corner EVER. He played press,soft,zone or whatever coverage was needed to get it done.He DOMINATED Jerry Rice in his prime. The 49ers wouldn’t even throw it to Prime’s side even with the great Rice on the field! Champ was DESTROYED by T.O. 2 years ago for about 95 yards if you remember. Champ is a top 10 all-timer though just not in PRIME’S class.

Champ Bailey is good but doesn’t compare to the likes of a Deion Sanders. Let’s throw all of the stats out of the window and look at them both individually. Sure Deion didn’t play the run the same way he did the pass but you never really saw teams set up a game plan to run everything toward his side. Throwing towards his side wasn’t even a option. Bailey is a great cover corner but he sees way more action than Deion did. That all about respect and also fear which every quarterback had upon looking at Deion. Athleticism, please! Deion Sanders 4.21 forty is all I have to say. That on top of the fact that this man played baseball as well, in the major leagues for that matter. Deion also ran back kicks, punts, and played some receiver as well. Teams not only didn’t throw towards Sanders but it got to the point where they didn’t kick the ball towards him either. They say complete corners need to know how to tackle as well as defend the pass and run, but there isn’t any other corner in league history that owned one side of the field. Champ is respected, Deion was feared.

Yeah, there was Gradishar, Dennis Smith, Rulon Jones, and Louis Wright, but nothing even close to Champ. He’s not just amazing because he can tackle so well, but also because he can make plays on the few chances he gets. I read in a statistical report that he gets thrown 4.1 balls a game, or 64. 10 were picked and 21 were defensed. If you think of all the other recievers he had to cover because nobody ELSE it seemed like, could cover, then 30 receptions by all of the other recievers is still amazing. You probably can look at all the No. 1 WR he faces, and they might catch one. Marvin Harrison caught 2. If he plays 2 or three years, at the level he plays at, I guaruntee he will go to the Hall of Fame.
