I only ask this question, because today I was super shocked. In this sports group that I'm apart of that is huge, full of fans from every team. Somebody asked the question. I clicked on it, ready to see a bunch of Megatron, Megatron, Megatron ect ect......No lie, the first whole page said Dez Bryant. 2 guys on this first page, said megatron, then went and changed their opinion because of a few points others made. Then I only saw a few Calvin's but overall by a landslide it was Dez.

I know this has been discussed on here, but I'm interested in getting your take. Think outside of being a Cowboys fan.

Me personally I still feel like Dez has to catch up to Tron. I feel like he is still the better player. I was shocked to see so many Dez's. Especially with the ton of cowboys hate they get in this group I'm part of.

Here's what 1 guy said, that got the most likes

Robert Comer-"Dez is a better route runner, he fights for everything, he wears his heart on his shoulder, crazy hops, shifty and strong. And he's more consistent"

The Detroit writers know Calvin doesn't have that blazing speed he had earlier in his career. The Dallas writers based their selection on that assumption.

I would say CJ but over the course of the last month of this season Dez

See this is a more level headed response. I wonder if the majority who said Dez, are just living in the moment of right now.

Dez is amazing, and had a hell of a year, but I don't think you can crown somebody off of this alone, not just yet.

Dez...he does have more TD's...CJ may have more highlights...AND..he is pumped up by the media more than Dez is....so people will go with what they hear and are shown. If they don't follow either team as much, they will go with the hyped player more.

I don't watch enough Lions games to make an educated guess nor would I really want to see the Lions play. Could you go wrong with either one? Probably not. I am just happy we have Dez and that's good enough for me.

This topic has been discussed numerous times. We're beating the dead horse once again.

Hell, just give me Cole Beasley!

You are right, I felt like a child for even asking this. Just had to because of what I saw in this sports group today.

Calvin Johnson hasn't looked right all season, and I think the workload the Lions have put on him the past 4 seasons is starting to get to him.

Right now, I'll take Dez over Johnson; Dez has just looked better. Before this season, it was Johnson all the way.

Dez has a better QB and better supporting cast. I don't think Megatron has been 100% healthy this season.
