    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.

    I got a plan. Lets trade a high pick for sheldon richardson in a win now move. I recall that had many on this site convinced that the Seahawks were superbowl bound. #winnow #schniederisagenius #kindofmoveTTnevermakes

    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.

    I agree that Dez is a grown ass.

    Dez and Jordy aren't comparable athletes in my opinion. Dez is 4 years younger than Jordan Nelson. Agree to disagree I guess. Dez is a physical specimen - Jordy is not as freaky.

    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.

    Dez is stronger no doubt. Better attacking and being physical at the point of catch. More of a beast. If Dez were less of a wreck mentally, I'd gladly trade Jordy for him straight up, even with the Rodgers-Nelson connection.

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

    Even the Cowboys biggest homer - Skip Bayless, says that Dez is not worth it anymore.
    All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!

    That's a fair point all. I guess we'll see. My gut feeling is he will be a beast next year if he has a good QB. He'll be extra motivated to be sure. We shall see. I don't watch much football these days outside of Sunday night so I don't have a strong opinion on it.

    If he would be willing, I imagine Bryant is a terrifying red zone threat with his ability to come down with the ball. Would make Bubba Franks look pedestrian.



    Speaking of Bubba, did anyone else see that Bubba play from the Eagles? Good ol' Doug Pederson had his TE block then leak into a pattern as slow as molasses. He was wide open due to the threat of the run.

    That 'pattern' was perfected by Ed 'toolbox' West. Bubba could only effect a shallow imitation.

    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.

    Remember, Rodgers probably gets a new deal this offseason.

    John Dorsey resembles Mike Sherman more than Ted Thompson. Dorsey led the Chiefs into the dreaded cap hell, just like Sherman once did with our beloved Pack.
