Dez vs Demaryius

[blueblood70]

they had very similar careers so its coin flip, ill take OUR Guy..Dez..

 

[kskboys]

I'd have to go Demariyus. Lots more yards and receptions, and the big one, he played hard and was where he was supposed to be on his routes. And no jogging. More of a team player.

Pretty incredible comparisons actually. Both players went beast mode for about 3 years then signed their big contracts then fell off the face of the earth. It never ceases to amaze me how management continues to give clowns like these guys massive deals when it is almost guaranteed that they will suck soon after. I guess it is more about having the "star" talent to sell tickets and merch and make money. Building a winner is the difficult way to make money. Signing "stars" to big money contracts is the easy way. Also known as the Jerry Jones way.

Clowns? Wow! You cheered like a kid every time that clown scored a TD. Your post is a great example as to why players get their money when that can, causes CLOWN fans have zero appreciation.

Thomas was the guy I wanted back then (GT fan).

Overall, I say both are equal when looking at their peaks and overall career.

Dez and Romo was a treat to watch. They had that chemistry that really made Dez shine with his freak ability and Romo's ability to get that jump ball/over shoulder where only Dez could get it.

Both were great....I think at their best Dez was better.

I have tons of appreciation for players who deserve it.

So Dez didn't deserve it? Pathetic!

 

[OmerV]

thomas has retired and Dez hasn’t. So I wouldn’t say Thomas lasted longer

That's fair, although I don't think Dez has a team right now.

LOL turd boy was a head ache from day 1. He needed babysitters as a 20 year old. He cries for his big money deal than immediately turns to mush. And he dropped pretty much the only pass that mattered. Yup way to go buddy you the best.

Both supremely physically gifted players who were in it not to be the best that ever played but to be a guy who signs a massive pay day. Once the primary goal was achieved the effort went away and so did the player.

Dude where are you getting this about DT lol? He signed a deal before the 2015 season and had 100+ receptions and 1300 yards receiving. He went for another 90 and 1,000+ the next season and won the Super Bowl. Keep in mind Peyton Manning fell off a cliff in 2016 and Osweiler started multiple games.

Dude still was consistent in 2017 with crap QB play but tore his achilles and that kind of ended his physical prime. Not sure why you’re trying to push this narrative on Thomas, add some context.

Shoo fly!

His three best years as a pro were 2012, 2013 and 2014 still on his rookie deal. 2015 he was franchise tagged and was still very good. At some point in 2015 i do not know when he signed his mega 5 year deal. 2016 he was still reasonable but not worth the money. 2017 he was semi reasonable but no where near worth the money. 2018 he was basically retired. Seems pretty clear to me.

Yawn!

Two guys way down the HOF Monitor list at Pro Football reference. Thomas is a bit higher. Dez made 1st Team All Pro once, Thomas made 2nd Team All Pro twice.

If romo stayed healthy a while longer, Dez would have played here longer than he did

 

[lostar2009]

The catch cemented Dez history. I just believe psychological he was never the same. Then the injuries pulled up etc. I wonder where Dez would be now of that catch held up.

His lack of chemistry with Dak cause his exit.

Imo it wasn't so much lack of chemistry - Dez made his living with the back shoulder/fade route and unfortunately Dak cant throw the pass with any real consistency - especially when Dez was around.

 

[Whyjerry]

Thomas was a much better player. His third best season was better than Dez’s best. It’s not even close.
