    The OPI thing is not only hilarious but there's some truth to it. Like the Seahawks on defense (DPI), or Dez on offense, they seem to get away with it. If it were up to me I'd be looking to see if Larry Fitz becomes free. He's everything Dez is and more and might take less to play with an Aaron type. Just saying, its a nice thought.

    He's like Davante Adams. Packers need a speed guy to complement Adams, not another Adams. When Packers 2nd round pick comes along, get TT on the phone and tell him to pick a WR. Use your free agent money at CB or OLB.

    There might be more types of WRs than just speed guys and non-speed guys. Adams is a classic Packer mold: perfect timing on routes, explosive cuts, great hands, and have some wiggle after the catch. Everything compliments that. Can't get too many of those guys but Bryant is far more physical than Adams. He bullies DBs at the line and down the field. At 29 he might still have some of that deceptive long strider deep speed he used to have.

    TO could still do pretty well in the league today. What's the difference between TO and Dez? Dez is slightly less of a PITA. I'd take him in a second. LMAO - he is a MUCH better and more talented player than Adams.

    Was. On a downward tend. 3 straight years under 1000 yards. YPC down to 12.1. Catch% of 52 even though Prescott's completion% is 63. Still a good player but not elite anymore.

    He has been outperformed by adams in every possible metric the last 2 years. Adams is younger and played this season with a QB that doesn't belong in the league as a backup.

    Meh, I don't put a lot of stock in that. Different offenses, different situations, etc. Do you honestly think Adams, a slow receiver that's not overly physical, is a better receiver than grown-ass Dez, who's bigger, stronger, faster? The eye test tells me not a chance. But my eyes have been wrong before.

    Did your eyes see Dez not perform this year or last? Sometimes players just get old fast.

    See Nelson, Jordy
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Yep. Dez missed 10 games in 2015-2016 due to injuries. He played in all 16 games this year, but did not resemble the 2014 Dez. I doubt he gets it back.

    yes. cowboy nation hasn't been totally happy with him for a while. single covered, doesn't get open, one-trick pony w/bad hands. he'll take a huge pay cut or be released.

    as for Jordy...i give him a pass for this season. he got open a lot but Hundley was...well...you know.

    I agree that Dez is a grown ass.

    My eyes say Adams has done more on the field by a lot for 2 years running. So, yes, I believe he is better.

    This TO?



    That TO was an excellent WR ! Dez Bryant isn't an NFL HOFer Candidate while Terrell Owens certainly is.

    From 1998 - 2008 that TO hauled in 127 TD's or an average of 11.54 TD's Season over those 11 Seasons. That's a rate of 1.233 TD's per Game !

    That's just EXCELLENT !

    Dez Bryant NFL Career 2010-2017 TD's Total equals 73 TD's or an average of 9.125 TD's per Season and 0.646 TD's per Game. Over the course of the last 3 Seasons his TD Production Rate isn't productive producing 'only' 17 TD's in 37 Games played or 0.459 TD's per Game.

    I don't want to see Dez Bryant in the Green and Gold.
