1. Let's focus on this year instead of going back to help the agenda. 2. These are good numbers. Not elite but good. Not 17m good. Not top player paid on team good. Not top 3 wr pay good.

where did this myth of Dez being a top 3 highest paid WR come from?

Funny how we bash Dez here at the Zone and the Falcon's forum has a thread titled "Julio is overrated". Fans can be so crazy.
Although his TD totals are are down, Jones' targets are about equally as successful as Ryan's other attempts. Their offense as a whole hasn't played up to last year's standards.
Jones 43 of 68 (63%) 658 yd (9.7 ypa) 1 td 1 int 93.9
others 134 of 197 (68%) 1499 yd (7.6 ypa) 10 td 6 int 94.7

That's not the case in Dallas, where the offense is actually better than last year, despite Bryant's targets.
Bryant 38 of 75 (51%) 439 yd (5.9 ypa) 4 td 2 int 75.4
others 125 of 184 (68%) 1361 yd (7.4 ypa) 12 td 2 int 106.7

Not a myth. He's Top 5 in all money categories. Total contract, money this year, gurateed money, avg a year.

He's not a top 5 wr. Not close. Nothing they can or will do about right now. At the end of the year it needs to be addressed.

well that's great everyone should be playing with guaranteed money

back to the overall highest paid receivers anyway, he's not top 3.

You can parse it as you wish...Dez's contract is right near the top of the most lucrative WR deals.

Here's the same sample Machota used to get the 81 rec 1,085 yd 12 td.

Dak's attempts by target
2016 last 8 games
Bryant 43 of 67 (64%) 646 yd (9.6 ypa) 8 td 2 int 122.8
others 127 of 181 (70%) 1313 yd (7.3 ypa) 6 td 1 int 99.5

2017
Bryant 38 of 75 (51%) 439 yd (5.9 ypa) 4 td 2 int 75.4
others 125 of 184 (68%) 1361 yd (7.4 ypa) 12 td 2 int 106.7
What is most striking about this is for all the Dez sucks people who were silent during the last 8 games of 2016.....do they believe that Dez suddenly turned to **** this offseason? Or are they just focused in on a smaller sample size where Dez and Dak connection has not been great?
