And lets not act like he is some super prospect, he is a good player, good body control, good leaper, good hands and he has quick feet but he isn't fast, he isn't quick, he didn't get great seperation at the college level, he is coming from a spread offense and he doesn't know how to run routes well. He will never be Randy Moss, he isn't even close to Randy Moss in terms of physical talent. He is a good player, he is powerful after the catch, he is elusive after the catch, he is good on jump balls, he has good hands and he is really strong.

And then he gets to the NFL and what happens? He creates a huge distraction with a stupid story and he can't even make it through a mini-camp, he was having trouble breathing and he was dry heaving he was so out of shape.

Lol what

And no one's comparing him to Randy Moss. Moss is a physical freak and one of the best receivers of this past generation, not many receivers are on his level so saying that is unfair.

You remember, Dez started that fiasco about an interview question?

And people are comparing him to Randy Moss, they say that Jerry taking Dez is him compensating for not taking Randy Moss way back when. There are definitely people who think that just because Dez is a talented receiver who fell he will have a similar impact to Randy Moss. I would bet my life that Dez doesn't come close to achieving anything Randy Moss has achieved. I don't even think Dez plays all that much this season.

Dez didn't start the fiasco, the media did and for you to blame him for what happened is very unfair. It was the media trying to create a stir in the offseason and blowing things out of proportion just like the Dez's character concerns.

People are comparing Dez being a steal like Randy Moss and what they're trying to say is teams will regret passing on him. No one is comparing him to Randy Moss as a player. Moss is a future hall of famer who's produced some great numbers and like I said before it's unfair to compare Bryant to him.

If Derek Anderson is your starter, your team is boned. I hope Larry Fitzgerald doesn't end up in traction thanks to one of Derek Anderson's floaters into traffic

There's this and then the #88 stuff... I'm curious what all of this pressure is going to do to Dez.

And that video seems to have left out the part where Dez was winded and dry heaving trying to throw up. Matt Mosley said "In the eight Cowboys rookie minicamps I've covered over the years, I've never seen a player struggle this much from a conditioning standpoint."

Calm down, its April (that video is from April, it is May as of today).

Haha. You're pathetic. You're cheering for this guy to fail just so you can say "I told you so". A 21 year-old who overcame a very rough upbringing and worked and fought through it to gain four years of a university education and became the most dominant WR in the nation. Go ahead. Keep on hating. I think you'll end up bitterly disappointed.

No. The Rookies aren't participating with the vets (aside from a handful of fringe 2nd year players and PS vets).

I believe the defensive player is former Colorado and Stony Brook Defensive Lineman Chris Perri (tryout) but I'm not 100% certain.

#75 is former Buckeye Alex Boone.

Your hated passion is a clear display of your biased opinion of a rival fan. I think everyone on the forum would think of your posts as meaningful if you took a more subjected approach.

First off, nobody is comparing Dez to Randy. Their games are nothing alike. The only thing the MEDIA has said is that Jerry drafted Dez because he's still kicking himself over passing on Moss. However, when asked that question directly, Jerry said that wasn't true at all. He said that Dez is his own player and we drafted him because we wanted him. He had no thoughts of Randy Moss. It's just another made up story from the media that guys like you eat from their hands.

...and Dez NOT playing that much in his rookie season would have absolutely ZERO indication of what the rest of his career will be like. So don't talk as if it would. You're smarter than that. If he does, then that's more than expected.

While I hate Dez more now that he is a Cowboy, I still highly disliked him during the draft process, he just seems like a guy that is going to throw it all away. There is potential for him to be great but I don't think he has the mental make-up to get to be as good as he can be.

And fine, I just know some people are drawing the parallels to Randy Moss, obviously they're different talents, but when people see a talented receiver with a character questions fall they instantaneously think that the player is going to be a massive steal, just like Moss. There are people (not on this board) who think that Dez will eventually have a Randy Moss type impact on a game. And just go and look at your own Cowboys board, people instantly compared him to Michael Irvin, one if I remember correctly said "Dez is just like Irvin except he has a burst."

And you're third point is obvious, of course it wouldn't reflect on the rest of his career. I'm simply saying that the people who think Dez is going to be amazing right off the bat are going to be sadly disappointed, he might be great but it won't happen this year, the Cowboys have a lot of good receiving options that can take reps away, Roy Williams is a veteran and Dez Bryant will have to learn the system, get back into football shape and learn how to run better routes before he sees significant amounts of time for the 'Boys. Those people holding their breath that Dez will do great this season, should stop waiting on Dez. Thats all I was saying.

D-Unit · 05-02-2010, 01:34 AM

Let's just say he's been dropping jaws the last 2 days...

"That’s better: Everything top draft pick Dez Bryant was Friday — inconsistent, nauseous, sloppy (in route-running and receptions) — is the opposite of what he was Saturday. Not that he needed to, but Bryant underscored the Cowboys’ reasons for trading up in the first round for him with a series of stellar grabs in both sessions. He looked like he tired a little in the afternoon session, but he spent the day going over, around (and in one case, through) would-be defenders to make one spectacular catch after another. He makes one-handed grabs more easily than most receivers can catch with two hands.

What’s in a number? Those in attendance might have thought they were seeing double Saturday morning. After dropping a pass in the morning session, the current No. 88 — Bryant — stopped to say hello to another No. 88 — Michael Irvin — who was standing on the sideline, watching the session. The two visited for a minute before Bryant returned to the drills. After the morning session, Irvin addressed the rookies (“he talked about how you don’t win championships without being a family,” secondary coach Dave Campo said) before holding a private one-on-one session with Bryant after everyone else had left the field. Bryant declined to discuss what Irvin told him, but hs body language suggested Irvin was giving Bryant some technique suggestions.

Impressing the master: Shortly after his first brief sideline chat with Irvin, Bryant made a play that would have made the Playmaker proud. Irvin and Cris Carter are probably the two best receivers in NFL history when it comes to pushing off (or “using their strength to create space.”) Irvin rode that skill to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and Carter probably will join him on day in Canton, Ohio. Late in Saturday’s morning session, Bryant ran a straight route down the hashmarks against cornerback Marquis Floyd. Bryant effortlessly held Floyd at bay with one arm, and calmly snatched the pass with the other.

Catch of the day: On one play in the morning session, Bryant was covered by cornerback Marquis Floyd, who tried to jam Bryant at the line of scrimmage (despite a 27-pound size deficit), and then turned and ran with the team’s first-round pick. Gordon stayed with Bryant about 30-yards downfield, got right in front of him and turned in plenty of time — and in perfect position — to either make the interception or knock the pass away. Unfazed, Bryant leaped up, reached over Gordon’s head and snatched the ball away … and kept his balance enough to turn upfield, while Gordon lay face-down on the grass."

Its rookie mini-camps, there are always 32 future hall of famers after these camps. Seriously though, can we just crown Dez as the best ever already D?

Hines · 05-02-2010, 01:38 AM

McClain, Wimbley, and Groves all look like major beasts in their pictures.

Stop with the jealousy already. This thread is for people to get excited. Don't invest so much into it. Nobody else is. It's just a pic thread... I'm glad you're impressed by what you see, seeing as it bothers you so much. LOL. Awesome!
