wait......
I cannot believe what I'm hearing. I am obviously and admittedly biased as a Cardinal fan, but c'mon!!! AW is the better all around player, yet you want to have DS over AW??? I wish we could take a poll with coaches on this one. Ask them, at the corner position who they want most. Personally I might give the nod to DS if you factor in his game changing kick return ability, but as a pure corner it is no contest. Cheese acts like no one ever scored on DS, which is bogus.
I have never liked comparing titles to players in any sport so the NBA reference means nothing to me. These are team sports especially the NFL. If someone says DS is better than AW because he won some superbowls, I mean, Cardinal fans if anybody know how rediculous that statement is. So if we had had DS instead of AW all those years, we would have won the superbowl, that is insane!!
Look, there is no denying that DS is the best cover corner ever IMO. But who do I want on MY football team to play the corner position....AW, the best all around corner in his time. Run Support, wether cheese wants to admit it or not is a huge part of that position......HUGE! Returning kicks is not. Realistically DS could shut down one player on almost every play. That is saying a lot, but he simply WAS NOT a complete player. Shaq dominates inside, and that can make a big impact on a 5 player basketball team, much more of an impact than what DS did. that is a bad anaology IMO.
