Who thinks Dez is finally a top ten receiver?

[Romo 2 Austin]

He is playing like it right now. Took 3 years to learn the playbook but he did it.

look at the TD in the last game as an example

Teams have been trying all year. He regularly gets double coverage.

And he's only the third wide receiver in team history to ever do it at all (joining Irvin in 1995 and Owens in 2007).

I don't know if you meant to say 70 catches, 900 yards or eight TD catches but he hasn't had a combination of the three every year. Now he's had at least one of the three every year however.

He's certainly played like it the past 4 months. If he keeps it up then yes, he's easily a top 10 receiver. It's all about consistency though. Hopefully he can.

That's not what Adam said. He said only 7 guys have managed all three things together in ANY of their first three seasons.

And to answer all the "how do you know this" questions, you can get all this and much much more, very easily, from Pro Football Reference. (Actually, I shouldn't say that. Not sure of a direct way to get the "first 12 games" part of that.)

[superpunk]

He's always been a TD threat but in the past few weeks he's gotten his yardage on par with greats like Brian Hartline. Top 10 indeed.

Me. He is 6th best WR in NFL with the potential to challenge Calvin Johnson for #1 in a year or two. Now he doesn't have top 5 stats (so don't bother posting Reggie Wayne's stats) but he is one of the top 5-6 best WR in foortball right now.... meaning he is a BEAST and DBs DREAD DREAD DREAD having to cover him on Sundays..

1. Calvin Johnson
2. Andre Johnson
3. Larry Fitzgerald
4. A.J. Green
5. Julio Jones
6. Dez Bryant
7. Brandon Marshall
8. Hakeem Nicks
9. Miles Austin
10. Dwayne Bowe

The only recievers I would take over him right now are Calvin Johnson and Maybe A.J. Green.By next season he will be known as an elite reciever. You can't argue that he's the cream of the crop talent wise, all he's got to do is have some sense when making decisions, which he has been doing lately.I think we are all starting to see a new Dez.Would anybody put him in their top ten recievers right now?I'm curious to see what y'all think!

[Risen Star]

I think I would put him there now. Could be top 3 as early as next year if he doesn't do anything stupid.

Work your behind off, listen to your coaches and team leaders, study, study, study. The talent will take care of the rest.

No way Miles or Bowe are top 10 right now. You forgot Roddy, Demaryius Thomas is lighting it up but IMO he's a product of Manning.

Took him three years to become an NFL WR

Funny he has put up similar numbers to Hakeem Nicks his first two years and already has more TD's then Nicks did his third year.
