CD Lamb is already a better “88” than Dez Bryant

St Brown, Pittman, AJ, Olave, Amari Cooper, Picachu(Puca or whatever his name is).

Not saying Cee won't get it, but there are a pile of standouts at WR. Garrett Wilson, and he's doing it w/ no QB.
The bolded are not even in the discussion for 1st team

Two different kind of receivers Dez was a bull in a china shop and dominated the jump ball especially in the end zone, CD is a YAC type of receiver.

Nothing

You’re just being sensitive

When Dez played, he was one of my favorite players

I’m just stating statistical facts. Don’t get butthurt
No sensitivity.....I'm just wondering what called for this thread. No different than an "Aikman has more rings than Romo" thread being started.

I think people are forgetting what really caused Dez's production to fall off. Which was he was forced to play with a QB who would not throw into to a guy who was covered. Easily 80-90% of Dez's catches were with a DB right next to him. Romo trusted himself and Dez to go ahead and throw the ball to him anyway. For Dak's first three seasons he absolutely didn't and wouldn't. I firmly believe peak Dez with this version of Dak would threaten 100 catches 1800 yards and 15 TDs every year. I think the Cowboys made a huge mistake releasing him in 2018 and had to waste a #1 pick trading for Cooper to replace him. That pick could have been a pocket crunching DT or a road grading lineman. It was a dumb move and it cost this franchise. Just like dumping Cooper has cost this franchise. So the Cowboys essentially doubled their stupidity by dumping Dez then using a #1 pick to replace him, then dumping the replacement. Absolutely brain dead.
lol, what are you talking about?

Dez’s career was derailed by a foot/ankle injury.

One thing I love about Dez that I haven’t seen from CD is the jump ball. Pre foot Dez, came down with jump balls regularly to the point it couldn’t be defended.
Romo and Dez were extremely in sync with where Romo had to place it for Dez / where Dez wanted it. Plus in the Red Zone almost impossible to stop that fade.

I am actually amazed at CD though as far as strength. He is a lot stronger than I ever imagined. He was even pretty strong his 1st season, and he looked frail lol.
Now he looks a lot bigger this season.

Tyreek Hill
And it's not close.
Ceedee is a 1st team lock as long as he finishes the year strong. If he drops a dud or 2 these last 2 games it's debatable. If he hits 100 plus both games its a wrap. It'll be him tyreek and..........brown/st brown/Mike Evans

Dez was the top WR in the NFL for a couple seasons but there’s more WR talent in the league now.

Lamb will set all Cowboys records for WR and will eventually be the most productive WR in Cowboys history. But he won’t be considered the best if he doesn’t win a championship.
Love Dez but he was never considered better then Julio or Megatron.
