Who Is The 2nd Best WR In The NFL?

[Section446]

Considering what he's working with, I'd go with Josh Gordon right now, but I wouldn't argue with anyone who said Dez is #2.

 

[65fastback2plus2]

Id put dez at #4.

#1 is Calvin
#2 is AJ Green
#3 is Julio Jones
#4 Dez

Cowboys fan or not, I'd take Dez Bryant everytime. AJ Green, Josh Gordon, Alshon Jeffrey, Brandon Marshall, and Julio Jones are all right there too.

Larry Fitzgerald and Andre Johnson are a little too over the hump, and Andre Johnson has never been known for putting points on the board (has never had dougle digit touchdowns in his career)

Demaryius Thomas is a product of Peyton Manning.

NOT! He was putting up great numbers even with Tim Tebow as his qb. Don't get my wrong... I'm still a Dez fan but it sheer [mean adjective] to say DT is a product of manning.

Gordon can't be considered better than CJ, however, Gordon had more catches, for more yards, as well as a higher yards-per-reception than CJ.

Note: CJ sat out one game with a sore knee.

I don't disagree with the sentiment, but it's also important to note that Gordon was suspended for 2 games.

Double edged. When Tebow was throwing him the ball the coverages were really relaxed because teams were stacking the box.


DT is a good receiver; great even. But he is not on the same level as the elites in this game. This offseason I 'm watching all top WRs to see how they stack up with Dez. Still haven 't gotten to DT, buti've seen enough of the broncos live to say that he does not receive elite treatment from defenses. He can't because manning makes other receivers viable threats and the Denver offense with all of its picks protects him from certain coverages.

 

[Offsides]

I'd take AJ Green at number 2. Julio Jones would be number 2 if I were not concerned with injury. I don't see how anyone but Megatron can be number 1. He gets double and trip[le teamed sometimes and still does the job. I don't think teams are that concerned with 1 guy on a bad team putting up huge numbers. When cleveland is relevant and teams start concentrating on Gordon we'll see he how compares to Calvin.

 

[lqmac1]

I think Andre Johnson is better than Dez in his prime. I'd take Fitz over him too.

...but you haven't seen Dez in his prime, either.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Dez is top 3-4 for sure. I think anything from 2-6 is highly debatable and you could really organize in any order and it not be wrong.

 

[Afigueroa22]

Well, we're not discussing players primes, so...

I'd put Dez over Green, but only by the slightest of margins.

I think Green is faster and a better route runner but Dez has this animosity about him paired with one of the best jump ball skills i've ever seen. Dez can learn to run better routes but AJ isn't going to just become an animal.
