Prime Ed Reed or Prime Time!

Well since you said DB its clearly Deion. Not sure what else 2 argue
the greatest (or one of) cornerback is more valuable than the greatest (or one of) safety.
Their accolades are really close.
The hard thing about comparing a safety and a cb is that the qb may be incentivized to not throw to an elite* cbs corner, due to the perceived danger. Essentially “fukking up” the cbs stats. Or because receivers can’t get open. Personally I don’t know how people pay attention to that unless you’re at the game

Elite corner or elite safety?
Smart answer is probably prime. Won't argue with either choice.

comparing a corner to a safety 
I know most are going to say Prime, but I think this is one where it's "close", but it may be clear enough for some to say Prime.
I don't think there's a wrong answer, but I know most will pick Prime.

It's all about the inches
I think Revis was a better cover corner than Prime

Never played football (half a season Freshman year), but I've heard nothing but good things about Ed Reed and Prime. Reed is more my era, but again, I wasn't big into watching football like that.
Also saw that Brady/Belichick video about Ed Reed.
Can someone explain why they would pick Prime over Reed? Or Reed over Prime?
In a way a hooper would understand or appreciate.

I’m picking Ed over prime and I really don’t give a fukk bout positional value
Ed was so crazy Brady and Manning had “find 20” written on their QB wristbands when they played the Ravens
He terrorized your favorite QB

If I’m starting a team from ground zero, I’d want Reed; if I’m looking to take my team to the next level, I’m taking Prime.

Rod Woodson.
Played (well) both safety and corner DB positions. Strong tackler. Most Pick 6s in NFL history, most defensive touchdowns in NFL history, longevity (played 17 years) made 9 all pro teams.
You can put Rod Woodson in more places in more defensive schemes and he'll be just as effective than either Ed Reed or Deion Sanders
