You lose all credibility once you listed DJax. Bottom three aren't in Bryant's league either. Bryant is top 20, by next year there won't be a half dozen better.
I didn't say he was better but he should be included in the conversation. He has had a 1000 yard receiving season and he has made the Pro Bowl which are two things Dez has yet to accomplish. He Can also return kicks without getting injured.
Personally I'd take Dez over DJax but he does belong in the conversation as perhaps the second best deep threat in the game. His first two years in the league he clearly outproduced Dez with 912 and 1156 receiving yards. Last season was a down year with the contract situation but he still almost put up 1000 yards. He does have some limitations in his unwillingness to catch a contested pass over the middle and the limited repertoire of routes he will run but he is still a very dangerous player who has to be accounted for with help over the top on almost every down he plays.
The other thing you have to consider is whether he makes less bonehead plays then Dez. My understanding is Dez has cost us about 3 INTs this year from running the wrong route and then there was his bonehead punt return against the Giants that cost us a fumble against the Giants.
Dez has come a long way but he is far from a finished product on the field. Romo has apparently said that his ability to get the ball out quickly is hampered by his inability to trust his WRs to make the right read and it is pretty clear that he is referring to Otree and Dez mostly.
So I love Dez's potential but I also wouldn't say it is ridiculous to bring up DJax in a list of potentially better WRs.
Why not just come up with your own list since mine lacks "credibility" compared to yours which has not been put forth.
