    He gets away with tons of OPI
    Knows how to set a guy up and get deep without needing to win a race
    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.

    Look who's throwing him the ball, though. Went from Tony Romo to some bum. Yes, I am much lower on Dak than many others are. He'll be a back-up in a few years IMHO.

    I don't want TO. I would prefer Gutey draft a young faster player this spring instead.

    One of the cruel ironies of the Jason Spriggs selection is that TT traded a 4th round pick to move up in the 2nd round to take Spriggs. Yes the 4th round is the round that TT drafted Lang, Sitton, Bakhtiari and Tretter.

    There were some VERY good players there; and there was Spriggs............ouch
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    Ye all of little SPRIGGS faith ...
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Hope Spriggs eternal.
