Who would you compare Dez too?

[Idgit]

Yeah, Dez isn't in the same league as guys like T.O., he's got a long way to go.

He's in the same league. They're just very different players, and personalities. Dez is a beast when it comes to body control, and he high points the ball better than TO ever did. And now he runs better routes.

TO was a freak in that he was as fast as he was on top of being so physically dominant. He could beat you either way, and had the speed to break double teams. But he was a cancer, he'd break off routes and leave his QB hanging and then turn on him afterward.

Maybe a young Anquan Boldin who can jump higher and run a faster.

Boldin was a better route runner, but Dez has more fast twitch.
Both are physical with great hands.

I think this one is pretty solid.

Other than that, he was really good in the locker room. Except he was also self centered and got mad if he didn't get his catches, even in a victory. He could also turn on his coaches if things didn't go his way. He wanted all the credit and all of the attention too.

Other than that and his relative insanity, he was fine as long as he didn't have prescription meds laying around.

Are we avoiding the Irvin comparisons?

Yes, Irvin was the better route runner but did not have the jump ball ability of Dez.

Eric Moulds

He was compared to Larry Fitzgerald when he was drafted

dosen't get the ball unless the play is designed for him it seems..Romo needs to look for him every play.

Hmmmm... The makings of a bash thread. It is truly the off season...

You already know lol. This board will rejoice when Dez leaves.

He's a big play guy that can be shut down if you put a quality defense in from of him ala Steph Curry.

I don't see Moss in him at all physically. Maybe a little Moss attitude but I'm torn on that as well. Dang Moss was just awesome and there is nothing more fitting of him then the nickname "The Freak"
Little know fact about me, I ran track in the West Virginia Middle School state meet. I was a 7th grader when he was in 9th and everyone was talking about him. I didn't know it was him until a couple years later when he signed with FSU. Anyway when he went through the turns it was like you couldn't even see his feet hitting the ground. He was at least half a foot taller than most everyone and a full foot taller than me. He is the fastest person I have ever seen run in person.

Henry Ellard?

 

[slick325]

Irv...except more athletic and better after the catch.

 

[Scandri100]

Eric Moulds

Nah Dez can't get seperation from corners like Moulds could...he's at his best when you throw him a contested ball but Romo dosen't do it often.

 

[Scandri100]

Completely forgot about Moulds tho what a beast.

 

[Scandri100]

Dez gets about 2 contested balls thrown at him every year it's pretty hilarious how clueless romo and the staff are.

 

[DeaconMoss]

Maybe a young Anquan Boldin who can jump higher and run a faster.

Boldin was a better route runner, but Dez has more fast twitch.

Hands? Dez is not the guy I put on the hands team.

Please tell me you're joking or being sarcastic?

I honestly can't think of one.

Dez is primarily a possession receiver, but no possession receiver I can think of has his acrobatic athleticism to go along with size and strength.

And talk about physical.

This post summarizes my feelings.

I can't really compare Dez to anyone right off hand. He has the speed of a possession receiver but the physical and acrobatic ability of leaner, quicker receiver.

However, I do think Dez doesn't comprehend the game fully. I say this because of what has been said of him in previous years and because I simply can't understand why Garrett and company won't move him around like Atlanta does with Julio Jones or Denver does with DeMaryius Thomas.

He was moved around a good bit last year, the main problem is that they would then have Beasley outside.
