The more I watch Odell, the more I get ticked off about Dez

This kid has snatched Dez's spot as the next goat receiver.

His grace catching balls millimeters from the sideline only magnifies Dez's overall sloppiness.

I love Dez but either Roc Nation or something else has ruined him.

This offseason, he needs to go back to Lufkin and humble himself. Get rid of the silly X celebration, get in tip top condition and come back hungrier than ever. He's lost some of his quick twitch ability IMO. Watch the all-22, he's not running hard on all of his routes...not even 75%.

The way the NFL is making ODB the face of the league has to motivate Dez this offseason!

More like Garrett nation and Cassell nation has ruined him. Have Odell and Dez switch places and Dez will be tearing it up in New York. Look at how different Dwayne Harris looks over there.

Dez has size and skills but, alas, he POUTS OFF AND ON THE FIELD.
Cheer up bloke, be a good fellow and run off.:). Not you Z, Dez

Dez is alright but there's a lot lacking in his game. I wonder what he'll be like when he's older and loses a lot of the explosiveness/athleticism he has now. Compared to his peers like Antonio Brown, Julio Jones, AJ Green all of those guys have much better route running ability. And the youngers like Odell, Hopkins, and Amari Cooper will continue to improve too.

Dez will have a better season next year. Like many of the players on the field, they're battered both physically and mentally and the grind of a poor season with such high hopes dashed repeatedly have taken their toll.

He'll bounce back; my hope is that he'll learn to stop buying into his own hype and produce the results to match his talent.

Look at the route tree Dez runs compared to Odell. There's a bit more creativity with the Giants, matter of fact on the 84 yard TD to Odell the OC must've known that the Dolphins Safety plays aggressive and the double move worked. Do we have that same creativity in our offense? Don't think so!

I worry about this too. I guess he could become another Anquan Boldin but he plays 100% all the time.

OBJ plays in a market where he is likely to get slobbered over by the media. I have questions about his longevity but he comes up big in national TV games.

I could write a novel about how much I hate Jason Garrett. I know he is a big problem. But we're a game better right now if Dez catches that back shoulder throw in the Tampa game.

I still think we need a real speedster that can actually get separation and move Dez around like the Cards do with Fitz now. Not sure if Dez is willing to do that though.

Dez' x celebration is the problem? I mean throwing up a letter of the alphabet? ODB wouldn't be caught dead doing childish stuff like that.

Holdout missing whole offseason, missed time in camp, the injury, nothing to play for in comparison to OBJ. That's what's wrong with Dez this year. Don't doubt Dez.
