Deion was great but revis is a better cover corner. Again, Deion was a much better playmaker when he got the ball in his hands but as a cover corner? Revis has taken on and beaten the best of this generation despite rules changes making it almost impossible to do what he does. Call me a homer all you want but as Andre johnson, Calvin Johnson and company what they think. Darrelle Revis is the best cover corner I have ever seena nd I don't know how you can be more of a game changer when you completely take away the opponents #1 WR. deion would allow plays and make plays, opposing QBs would attack Deion, they rarely go near revis.
Revis was nowhere near the cover corner Deion was...look at the stats man. All corners allow catches. Revis got beat by Stevie Johnson last year for a 100 yd game for example. Just a little snippet of Deion's career:
- 1995 -- 16-for-47, 158 yards, 0 TD (9 games)
- 1996 -- 22-for-46, 225 yards, 0 TD (16 games)
- 1997 -- 12-for-39, 159 yards, 0 TD (13 games)
- 1998 -- 20-for-42, 198 yards, 0 TD (11 games)
That is 40.2% completion and ZERO tds in 49 games. Throw in 11 Ints and 2 tds. It is easy to see who the better cover corner is....and it is not Revis. A play maker is not someone who can cover....it is someone who is a threat to score every time he touches the ball. Deion was that...Revis is not. Again the ONLY thing Revis does better is tackle. On all other levels, he is nowhere the cb that Deion was. Sorry to ruin your friday.
