What is it that Deebo does that CeeDee doesn't? Both are good after the catch and both have running plays designed for them that are successful. I would take CeeDee over Deebo. What say you?
I'm not sure where this is coming from. Is anyone actually claiming CeeDee is less of a receiver than Deebo?

I'm just happy I'll never have to hear again how CeeDee Lamb and Terry McLaurin are contemporaries
Like seriously, go back and look at every top 10 WR list from the off-season/pre-season...Lamb was always one higher or in a few one lower than McLaurin like they were ever close :laugh:
I like Scary Terry but it’s clear he’s held back by an incompetent team. But I also think he gets overhyped for that same reason.

Polar opposite types. Not comparable.

Deebo is a slot guy w/ amazing burst and YAC ability. He's more of a RB playing WR.

Cee is a WR. Better at being a WR, period. Doesn't have the YAC or burst of Deebo, but is a better WR overall.

Whomever said Ceedee has more burst than Samuel is nutso. Look up the definition of "burst" as it pertains to football.

I'll take Ceedee. Thank you.

yeah but you gotta keep this in context everyone around here can rip Prescott all they want but the haters are gonna say things that aren't true Prescott still a great quarterback it's consistent and that's why CD Lamb was allowed to grow and get better whereas McLaurin's had like 11 different quarterbacks... So he should get his props as well....

Ceedee is our guy and the Cowboys better figure out how they will make him the highest paid WR in the League.

McLaurin's not a bum, but realistically, his best season was last year and he was 27.

Lamb put up better numbers last year and he was only 23

Matter of fact, McLaurin was a 24 year old rookie, so the same age that CeeDee is *now* was McLaurin as a rookie

He's okay, but thery were never on the same level

He's more of a WR than Deebo specifically. Rather have Deebo running

Coaches and players are notoriously bad at evaluating talent.

Scary Terry is what happens when a team ruins a players prime years. Not going to lie, I thought at his best he was going like Tyreek Hill a few years ago. Even with horrible quarterback play he would break a 60 yard touchdown.

Yeah but he should be nice for Caleb Williams or whoever they decide to get but yeah by the time the Commanders are good again he will probably be 30 lol. If they ever get good again. Gonna be Steve Smith when they finally get Cam Newton....

At this stage, M
  • Most would rate Cee Dee ahead of Deebo...and maybe well ahead.
  • Aiyuk ahead of Cooks
  • McCaffery ahead of Pollard
  • Ferguson has almost caught up to Kittle, but not quite yet.
  • Believe it not, almost all rankings have Dallas' line ranked higher than the 49ers line. Don't shoot the messenger.

TM is a very good wide receiver.. maybe you don't understand how good prescott is compared to what TM has had to pay with. dismiss that all you want but Dak and CD have grown with time and reps and TM has had no stability to ever grow.. the offense is bad no OL, no qb and no identity.

CD land fell into a great situation and the other guy didn't.... PUT TM on a better team with above average qb ,he can show out... the irony in here is everyone was claiming CD lamb was a #2 LOL claim dak was 15th at best ironic our own fan bas cant appreciate greatness.. Amari was NOT making CD good he was HPLDIMNHG HIM BACK.. cutting 22mil from this team allowed the cowboys to out this team together and CD to explode.. correct move..
still to this day all those who dont understand why the Amari trade was the correct move for this TEAM and doesn't understand the business of football. and anybody still complaining about t....doesn't see what we got for cooks and gilmore.. also didnt notice Hopkins and cook guys like them, outright cut, couldn't even get 5th,, right now our wr room together might =22mil , thats why they did it..

and on the flip side Amari cooper is better when hes in a place where he's the primary target.. here he was no longer that guy and at 22mil , had to go.. cooks is a better ...

To me it comes down to this...give McLaurin Peyton Manning, Tom Brady or Drew Brees at QB and I don't think he's capable of putting up the numbers that CeeDee did this year

And prior to this year, CeeDee was the same age that McLaurin was *as a rookie*

CeeDee was always going to surpass what McLaurin was capable of given he was better and like 3-4 years younger
