NFL GOAT ranking. agree, disagree, changes.

I'm well aware of the overblown criticism. The man tackled over 500 times in his career. When he needed to tackle, he tackled. Originally Posted by 1pittsburgh

492 or 512 is nit picking. No one claimed that he was a great run support corner. Chizzy's false claim that started all this mess was:

no fucking way/ that pussy couldnt tackle my grandaughter as a runner, he was a pussy Originally Posted by chizzy

You seem to know football, so you know damn well that someone who returned as many punts in the NFL as he did is far from a pussy. You know that no one who had between 492 and 512 tackles in the NFL is a pussy either. The entire statement was ridiculous.

I didn’t say he was a pussy. I said he was great. Just not great at run support. Which is true.

I really can’t pick on him for not making this tackle. Not many humans wanted to tackle Bo.

He did look like a pussy here;

Dave Brown was a QB. Not a very good one. Mebbe Dion got credit for a tackle there.


Mebbe Dions biggest hit

The TE got up, Dion went down

It has nothing to do with feelings. I'm a diehard Steelers fan. Were it not for Brady we'd have probably ascended the stairway to seven by now, so I have no love for Brady. I just see that he's won three more SB than any other QB, and has done it without many other star players most of the time.

The majority of current and former players and coaches agree with me about both TB and Prime.



I wasn't untruthful. ESPN is wrong about that. For some reason there's a lot of missing data there. Do you really believe that he didn't make a single tackle during his first four seasons in the league? LOL

512 tackles to be exact. Tell your friend that I have a fetish for the truth. Originally Posted by 1pittsburgh

Dion had 254 solo tackles and 512 combined tackles, but prior to 1994 all tackles were recorded as combined. that's why there are no recorder solo tackles his first 5 years.

Sanders also has 53 interceptions in 157 starts, 9 for tds and 1331 interception return yards.

Like I said, Dion didn’t put a priority on tackling.

the bottom line is every other site lists less tackles than wiki

but it doesnt matter, the fact remains his own teammates said he was a crummy tackler and he admitted himself he did not like to tackle. that speaks volumes

your problem is you cant ever think your opinions are even partially wrong, no matter what. you try to double down

i said he was great but he stunk as a tackler especially against tight ends and running backs.

keep running to wiki

I will add one thing about tom brady... I give him credit for never worrying about being the highest paid qb, he always signed team friendly contracts so there was ample cap space to keep or get players they needed to win, that is not something most qb's will do/ example- watson/jackson etc etc.

only wrong in your opinion. grow up
and combined tackles means more than one player was in on the tackle.

now go hit the rtm

from the site you mentioned.....


Woodson was doing "Deion things" before Deion Sanders was in the NFL. The difference was, Woodson did it with less flash and subsequent fanfare. Additionally, Woodson was a superior tackler to Sanders and one of the better blitzers from the corner in NFL history.

Yep Woodsen was fearless. Do you remember when he blew up the Oilers RB, caused a fumble, and saved the Steelers playoff spot? He was a complete corner and a great returner too. That’s why he’s my #1 corner. Charles Woodson was similar. According to Troy Aikman, Dion considered a tackle a business decision. Everything Dion did was a business decision. It’s just the way he rolled.

It's also wildly incorrect to say that he couldn't tackle your granddaughter, even when taken as a figure of speech, given that he's tackled players at the highest level over 500 times.

Even though you have now personally insulted me twice in this thread, I will not RTM, because I'm not a "pussy" like some folks. I've stuck to the topic at hand while you've stooped to resorting to personal insults and the appeal to age fallacy.

You've not seen me say that Prime was a better tackler than Rod. I was a big fan of Woodson. I've only told the truth, that the claims that Prime couldn't tackle are incorrect.

I suspect that it's the "flash and fanfare" that causes you to be biased against and say untrue things about Prime.

Can’t believe you clowns are arguing about sports opinions. ITS AN OPINION!!

And hambone….nobody gives a shit about your football exploits from 40 years ago. Lol
