Choose 1: Pickens - 2025/TO - 2007/Dez - 2014

[cmoney23]

Lamb in 23 was insane. That's #1 for me.

 

[John813]

WR talent wise it was T.O.
Create a player in Madden level WR.

After him it's tougher. The Dez-Romo connection was something to watch. CDL-Prescott was also great, and he racked up some insane catch numbers.
Pickens may crack the top 3 depending on how the year ends.

 

[Scottishcowboy]

I go with Pickens. This is crazy but he might be the sanest of that crew.

Eh......a friendly warning please before you post that!

My coffee is currently running down my laptop screen.

 

[75boyz]

Always admired T.O. the receiver, just pretty much not anything else he did.
He was an absolute dominant force for several teams including us.

I'll put him in his prime up against pretty much anybody.

Like I said I was a fan of his play, just not the person.

 

[cowboyec]

dez.
home grown.
and it ☆ mattered to him.

Pickens looks like he’s going to lap both guys, but remember the team had to throw a lot more early on because of how bad the defense was.

2007 had Wade bringing the heat to folks with Ware and Ellis. 2014 had DeMarco playing keep away from opposing offenses.

Dez.

 

[Johannes44]

TO always reminded me of a thoroughbred race horse. Dude was an absolute beast after the catch.

 

[noshame]

Pickens
Do i want him long term. He'll no.

2014 was the season Romo and Dez invented the "jump ball" technique.
Which made both their careers.

TO bla

 

[RonnieT24]

Um takin Dez over the Dallas version of either T.O. or Pickens at this point. Great as Pickens has been he's not doing his damage with the NFL's leading rusher totin the rock and a hall of fame tight end who was the QB's best buddy on the team. Dez did more with fewer opportunities. But the story for Pickens is not yet completely written.

Yep, me too.
I liked Eric Dickerson the RB as that same thoroughbred type as well.
Good comparison.

Don’t get me wrong was never a fan of his especially after that disrespecting the star move he pulled as a 49er.

Yeah,
I definitely hated that moment too but can still appreciate his other on field stuff while he wore a star for us.

As a fan its always hard to separate some of the negative personal stuff revealed about players over their careers while still having a certain respect for their game.

There's been quite a few players whose personality I didnt care for but still enjoyed watching them play.

I still have a couple or so like that on other teams today.

Yeah but wasn't it enjoyable watching Roy Williams break him in half!?!?! That was so good!

 

[EST_1986]

TO should have never been allowed to wear the star. Embarrassing.

One of the greatest receivers ever, dumb take

Yeah he was a certified jerk but there can be no denying he was a great great player. It was hard to root for him when he played for the Cowboys... but root for him I did.. during that time. And only during that time.

Pickens aint gittin on that list on the strength of one year.. Sorry but just no.. I also think we get too caught up in the numbers of these modern day guys and short change the guys who played in the "only pass on 3rd and long" days. What those guys did when it was legal to much a receiver all the way down the field and offensive linemen couldn't legally hold and again.. OC's had no intention of ever throwing the ball if they could help it. I would LOVE to see what some of those guys could do with today's rules. Can you imagine DBs trying to keep up with Bob Hayes if they couldn't touch him after 5 yards? Or Cliff Branch or Lance Alworth?

lol Pickens is great but not on this list. Fitzgerald and Harrison need to be on any best wideout list.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Regardless he wasn't drafted here, still a hired mercenary- not to say that i have anything against that, I just prefer Dez bc he was drafted here and had genuine love for the star while he played here

He wasn't "hired" he was traded for
