I totally disagree w/Deon. He retired because Marty was hired, and he admitted he wasn't ready to change at that point of his career.
Deion was not a "shut down corner" when he came here, Champ was. For that reason Deon got picked on a little bit. Compared to other cb's, he was still well above avg. & if not for his name & flashy ways + salary, everyone would say he's alright. He even played all 16 games, something he hadn't done much of elsewhere.
Seems to me people criticize Deion being here because they had great expectations of him. He was past his prime (time) but still played well on a good D in 2000. Remember that team beat all the best teams in the nfl, but lost to the sorry ones mainly because of turnovers.
