Dez actually very much looked like the same player this year until he got injured again... And it wasn't even a foot injury.

You couldn't possibly be watching this season if you believe that. He did nothing in the opener and was being shutdown by Josh Norman against Washington, making catches against the other corner. He hasn't come close to looking like the player he was 2 years ago.

At 27 he should be in the prime of his career but he hasn't proven he's the same player since the foot surgery. Hakeem Nicks was never the same player after suffering the same injury.

Hakeem nicks was never EVER the player Dez is. Julio Jones is a more apt comparison and he bounced back just fine.

We've already seen Dez make effortless tough catches from Dak in the preseason, and featured all over the field with success.

As stated above, his presence alone will open the red zone up considerably.

Lol just lol.

Athletically? Yes. He looked like the same guy.

I haven't reviewed the film so I can't speak to the validity of how he actually did against Norman.

Hakeem Nicks was a very good receiver but was never the same after he suffered the same injury. Julio Jones bounced back the very next season after his injury and put up almost 1600 yards...next!

Earlier in his career he found ways to get it done. He's always had problems gaining separation but it's gotten worse since the foot injury. He's becoming injury prone and his numbers speak to how far he's fallen.

So a broken foot is going to have a longterm impact on a 27 YO world class athlete? Huh. And no, it wasn't the same injury that Nicks suffered. Not that Nicks' issues were due to a single injury.

According to what's been posted it was the same injury and Dez played on it when he should have been shut down. Julio didn't play on the injury and came back like brand new. Dez also suffered an ankle injury that needed surgery along with his foot.

KJJ, this isn't a Dez injury discussion. This discussion is about his return.

How do you think he will do? Stay with me...

He's had two fluke injuries as a result of contact. That's not what injury prone is. Seriously, the place sometimes...

He had a foot injury that cost him several games last season and he also injured his ankle which required surgery. This season he injured his knee and it's cost him three games. He's become injury prone.

He has 3 games since the foot injury with full health. In one of those games he went over 100 yards. In the other game he scored a touchdown. And in the other he had a dud in the first game of a 4th round rookie's first regular season start.

Give me a break.

Fans are fickle.

I'm just always thankful people like you don't actually have any ability to influence personnel decisions.

Lord help us if KJJ had any input in our beloved franchise, Toruk.

Just the thought is enough to invoke nausea and the runs.

Hilarious because he had no clue about Norman on Dez, picked it up from another poster in the last Dez hate thread, and now includes it in every diatribe. He's got the timeline wrong which shows how well he sees the field. Give a dog a bone I guess.
