I didnt have a problem with Deion Sanders at the time. Hes probably one of the top 3 corners to ever play the game. So yeah back in 2000 I didnt mind having a trio of Champ Bailey, Deion Sanders, and Darrell Green. The only Skins fans who didnt want Deion were the ones holding a grudge for all the times he whipped our ass over the years. (Excuse, he was washed up, and he stole money from Synder)
As for Alvin Harper I didnt have any opinion one way or the other. I didnt think he was anything special. He did play 2 seasons for Tampa Bay before us so it wasnt like he came right from the Cowboys here. ( That's pointless. His longest tenure was with the Boys, he's a Cowboy)
Brandon Noble had knee problems but when he played for us he played well. He even won the Ed Block Courage Award after coming back from his first knee injury with us. I wanted Noble and had no problems with that move. You cant predict knee injuries they could happen to anyone. He probably would of came back and played some more for us if he didnt get a staph infection that ended his career after his 2nd knee injury.

( True, you can't predict knee injures, but when he was healthy he didn't do shit. Another excuse)
What's you're point? All those players were terrible
with us. Don't make excuses for each player I listed, if you're trying to make an point
just make it. Yeah Evans was good, but he was a cheap FA that had no expectations, all of these guys (Harper, Sanders, and Noble) were high-priced and big named FA's that people had high expectations for. Just admit it: NO COWBOY HAS COME HERE AND PERFORMED AT A HIGH LEVEL.
