Dez drops in player voting to # 51 of 100

[DandyDon52]

Antonio Brown, Julio Jones, Odell Beckham Jr., A.J. Green, Brandon Marshall, Larry Fitzgerald and Allen Robinson all ranked ahead of Bryant, who came in at No. 51 overall, on this year's annual Top 100 Players list.

That list, which is compiled by player voting, had Bryant ranked 15th overall after the 2014 season.

"There's only one thing I got to go out there and do, that's go out there and be D, be me," Bryant said Wednesday during an interview with Michael Irvin for the NFL Network. "I love Antonio Brown. I love Julio Jones. I love Odell Beckham. I put myself up there with those guys as well.

"But it's not all about me sitting here talking, I'm just going to go out there and show them. That's something I'm real damn good at doing."

So Dez's play may be off, but his ego is in top form !!
Now if he can just get his play up to his ego level that would be a good deal !

excuse me...(laughing loudly to self)

Must be some 'unknown' negativity and Cowboy bias in the works...

Dez wasn't a top 10 wide receiver last season. Some blame the injury, which is valid, but when he came back, he couldn't catch for ****.

Thud. The sound of Dandy Don's newest troll post falling flat.

In 2014, Dez was ranked as follows:

#8 in yards
#12 in receptions
#1 TDs

I think altogether that probably made him the #3 or #4 WR in the NFL that year. Last year was a lost year for Dez.

I've got problems ranking A.J. Green, Brandon Marshall, Larry Fitzgerald or Allen Robinson ahead of Dez.

I think Dez is a top 5 WR.

I have no doubt that Dez can duplicate his 2014 numbers again this season.

 

[Arkyvarminter]

Antonio Brown
Julio Jones
Dez

A recent Broaddus tweet made me wonder a bit. Someone made mention of a possible loss of speed and quickness on Bryant's part and Broaddus said he wouldn't disagree with it thus far.

I'm curious to see if it's a temporary thing and just knocking off some rust, or something to be legitimately concerned about.

I love Dez, but I think a lot of this has to do with his continuous whining and complaining about not getting calls. He and Beckham would be ranked #1 & #2 in the NFL for that. The problem is, if Dez would just make an effort to get to some of those balls, he'd get those calls. This WHOLE team, not just Dez, needs to just STHU and play. Injured or not, Dez was the most disappointing player in my book last year.....

Im going to go with rust. How long did it take Julio to fully recover? I remember similar things being said of him his first training camp back. Maybe im just being optimistic

In all fairness, Dez is held. A LOT. Against the Cardinals in 2014 Peterson was literally holding him. I thought he was asking him to take ballroom dancing lessons together. Thats how bad it was. I agree arguing sucks, but no one seems to mind when its Brady or Rodgers doing it.

Keeping in mind that we passed less than every other team in the league in 2014 I think it makes it all the more outstanding that he had the most TDs. To me he was the best wr in the league that year

I hope so.

 

[phildadon86]

I hope so.

You and me both. I think he will be fine. Hopefully he sees lots of one on one match-ups

 

[phildadon86]

I hope so.

The video will be posted soon, but Dez just made a sick catch in the end-zone in between Carr and Jones one handed for the score.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Dez can be a top 5 wr when healthy. I fully expect him back in the top 5 this season.

 

[Jstopper]

I hope so.

Dez just made a SICK TD grab in double coverage

Always nice to read good news!

I just watched that too. HES BAAAAAACKKKKKK. Was that from Romo? Wow did he fit that into a tight window.

He's like TO except not as dominant. And both had stone hands often. Dez is great near the endzone but outside of that, leaves some to be desired for me. Just something missing compared to the other top WRs. I never viewed him as one of the top WRs. Too often he is taken out of games and disappears. That could also be due to poor coaching, though.
