Hall of Fame
No offense but that is whack revisionist history. Only a few people were ever upset Dunta didn't make the pro-bowl and that is 6 corners right there. I don't recall him ever even being named as an alternate. Don't get me wrong, I loved watching him play but he has never sniffed top 5 corner. Aaron Glenn at the tail end of his career was clearly better than Dunta. In his prime it wasn't even close.
Dunta was an ascending player with a bright future once upon a time. He learned alot from Glenn (who was my favorite Texan player up to that point/terrible move by old FO not to resign Aaron) he stepped up in leadership role & layed his body on the line every single play. Playing hard w/his contract year ahead sure looked like his body of work would receive top 5 CB contract but his career threatening acl tear & calf muscle ripped off the bone ended his dreams & led to assertion of one of the worst secondary's in the history of NFL. He returned a year later, but was never the same player even though he signed for similar big free agent money as Joseph his way out to Atlanta. I understand Joseph had some high ankle sprain problems but nothing nearly as serious so his career can hopefully stay on track. Very similar players headed in different directions, using Dunta for a reference point for fellow Texan fans so they know how similar players they are (JJ is more like DROB pre-injury) in my own twisted viewpoint a borderline top 5 or 6 CB talent.
