Greg Cosell- Dez compliment

[dbair1967]

Pulled from CZ:

Cosell the unbiased NFL Films guru said "You could make an argument right now that Dez was the fourth best receiver in the game " He puts Dez behind 1) Calvin Johnson 2) Andre Johnson 3) AJ Green. Has him aparently ahead of Fitzgerald and Demaryus Thomas.

Green: 79rec/134targets (58.9%), 1,151yds, 10TDs, 14 rec of 20+

I'm most scared of Calvin Johnson and fitz
Dez is getting up there in the "I don't want to face that guy" rankings . He's piled up at least a dozen big game-winning plays

 

[Bob Sacamano]

30 catches over 20+ yards? Holy crap.

That's an amazing completion percentage for Dez.

That's what Robert Griffin gets throwing to scrubs.

I'd put Dez at #1. He's more dangerous than Calvin Johnson.

I've done a 180 on Dez. He's gone from my least favorite player on the team to probably my favorite. He's like a combination of Irvin and Moss.

To be fair, and not discrediting Dez, but how can you accurately rank Larry Fitz right now?

Nope. He is playing on a shit team with shit at QB.

Fitz is one of the best WRs I have ever seen play, and it is unfortunate he is stuck there.

Wow!!

I'd put him top 10 for sure. Def not top 5. He can only run two routes.

1) Calvin
2) Fitz (with a QB)
3) AJ Green
4) B Marshall
5) D Thomas
6) V Cruz
7) R White
8) V Jax
9) Dez
10) Julio

your list is shit...try again

 

[bkeavs]

your list is shit...try again

Agreed

I thought that Johnson kid from Houston was pretty good

 

[UVAwahoos]

I did forget about Johnson. Either way, the list is solid, amigos. Numbers don't lie. And Dez doesn't yet draw consistent double coverage or run all the routes.

Homeboy didnt even appear until the 4th quarter vs Cinci.

Doesn't sound top 5ish to me.

 

[superpunk]

If you're criticizing his two routes then D Thomas shouldn't be up there.

Marshall's success is entirely predicated on Cutler throwing him the ball 20 times a game. He drops about half of them so he needs a high volume of targets.

AJ Green? meh

The rest is pretty decent.

One more drop than Dez.

Thomas is more consistent, as his stats show.

 

[superpunk]

Your list is garbage.

 

[UVAwahoos]

You're a cornball brother.
