What have you done for me lately?

I think that's what the NFL is. I didn't consider it an insult that Dez isn't ranked among the current Top 5. The players Babe did mention are all very deserving of being ranked there as they all had great seasons in 2015. If Dez rebounds as we all hope, I'm sure he'll be right back in the conversation.

I love Dez but right now little more showing and a little less talking about it. I would also like to see him fight for the ball better instead of looking around for a flag.

I would say no. Jones, Brown, Beckham, Green, Hopkins all better. I actually prefer Martavis Bryant over Dez anymore. I'd probably put Dez somewhere at the bottom of the top 10.

He's a top 5 physical talent though.

Currently no but overall absolutely, the only person i would put over him is Antonio Brown. I do feel that if Dez were on any other team with a real OC he would have highlight plays every week on Sportscenter.

Interesting on the practicing at ATT deal, but probably one of those, it's not worth 'turning the lights on' for just to practice.

Saw a video yesterday showing Romo highlights of 2014 on youtube. Pretty good video. It showed his completions to Dez and the plays Dez made. His cuts, his moves, his jukes,etc. We didn't see any of that when he came back. He clearly was not healthy this season obviously. Currently, I can't put him up there. Can he vault himself back up there if he gets his work ethic back? Most definitely.

Its babe.....I just let that stuff slide.

I agree with Babe; Except I just dont see Moore being on the game day roster. I do not want to rely of Kellen Moore to win games and get us into the playoffs, hoping that an injured Romo can come back when the playoffs start.........................................................I like Moore enough. But he aint winning .."those important games". When things matter, and the other team is bringing it. I may be wrong!?1?1?1

We need to address the QB siutation in a serious manner. We need to pony up the money. But I got a feeling were going to sign a scrub, draft a 3rd rounder, and pray Romo doesnt get hurt. If he does..........season over.............. yuck.

We need to carry 3 QBs on the gameday roster. And I hope none of them are named Kellen Moore.

ohhh, sorry OP.

No, Dez may not even be top 10. And I have serious doubts he will ever get back to last years production.

I don't think he's top 5 right now.. But maybe next season he'll get back into it. What's the big deal here?

Antonio Brown surprised me, I didn't realize he was that good. Its a year to year league, if Dez gets back in shape and heals up he has a chance to be in top 5 again. The Thomas guy from Denver also fell off a bit, don't know if he was injured too?

I just didnt think Brown could keep putting up those numbers. Perrykemp, in another thread, posted his numbers and it sunk in for me.

Brown isnt a fluke and there is nothing that has stopped him from putting up those numbers for 3 years now!!!.............nothing.

Yes, the system, is designed to get him open, and it helps. But that guy is unreal.

My thinking is not the popular around here but i think it falls in line with Jerrys thinking. I think we will see Romo, Manziel and Moore and a QB drafted later in the draft. Im not saying i agree with it but i think thats going to be what it is.

The guy was hurt this year. Played with mediocre QBs. Next year we'll see if he bounces back or not.

He def fell out the top 5.

Can he get back there? It will take a huge 2016 season, but he's no longer elite.
