Dez Vs Owens

[dsturgeon]

i was thinking about how awesome the dez-romo back shoulder throws were, and how good romo was at it.

Then I started thinking about how much I enjoyed romo throwing to T.O. I loved it because romo would drop back, you would see him launch it, the camera would change, and Owens was wide open. It was smooth.

Owens played 3 years and dez had 3 good years. Which receiver did you enjoy more? I thought Owens was more fun to watch.

This could go many ways.

1. Dez bashing
2. Dak bashing
3. Romo bashing

Let’s see which way it goes.

Which all leads to Garrett/Wade and Jerry bashing.

I liked both equally when they played here.

Both were athletic, and had yac ability. Owens was more of a freak athlete


Maybe a slight edge to Dez due to owens doing that star move when he was with the 9ers

 

[WillieBeamen]

Dez easily



Go back and look at some of the freak plays Dez made in his prime

I hated the Dwayne Goodrich pick.

It shouldn't have anything to with dak. 1/2 year with cooper was pretty awesome. He is doin his own thing, and not part of this thread

Why would anyone bash Garrett???

Sure glad we don’t have to deal with any of them anymore. 2 big mistakes by the Cowboys, er Jerry.

Terrell Owens

That man was downright unstoppable

He was but Dez numbers were >>>

So Dez was unstoppable as well

 

[dsturgeon]

I should have put passing attempts in there.

Owens did all at 33-35 years old...

What does that have to do with my post?

Owens was a superior receiver. Like him or not, he deserves to be in the hof. Dez's specialty was the contested ball. Meaning not open but able to outfight the defender for the ball. Unfortunately, landings in these instances injure backs, feet, knees and necks. All of which broke him down.

 

[dsturgeon]

Owens had a lot more 30 and 40+ catches. Witten was awesome then too.

It would have been cool to see dez and Owens play together, and when the fight to the death happened, it would have been cool to see who would win.

Overall Owens was a better receiver than Dez, that said this comparison really isn't a fair (Dez numbers are better) because Owens was in his mid 30's for those 3 years and Dez was in his mid 20's also Dez was being thrown to by a QB in 2012-2014 who was a much better QB than he was in 2006 thru 2008. Both had very good runs with the Cowboys but i think a 25 year old Owens playing with a 2012-2014 Romo would have been incredibly fun to watch, too bad we couldn not have seen that!

Well you said in another post you’d pick dez.. just saying Owens was a freak at 34 years old . Didn’t even have him in his prime. Owens all day. Dez is 31 and is pretty much done

There really is no comparison. Owens was a world class idiot but a much better player. He will be in the HOF. Dez is likely out of football at 31.
