Dez is set up for failure in Dallas.

Who is it?

A.J. Green, D. Thomas, Marshall, Julio, Fitzgerald, Andre Johnson, Jordy Nelson?

I hate it but it's Julio followed by AJ followed by Marshall.

I feel bad for Fitz. He could've been the best.

I am honestly surprised people don't consider marshall a top WR.

He's usually the only good receiver on his team (before the emergence of alshon jeffery this year) and he produces good numbers year in and year out. Even with mediocre QB's (see miami years).

Brandon Marshall, DeMaryius Thomas, Julio Jones, Andre Johnson, AJ Green, or Dez Bryant, IMO.

Down the road what?

Julio just about took over a playoff game for the falcons last year. I haven't seen that in a NFL in a long time.

I'd say AJ,D.Thomas,Marshall & Dez are all in the running for the 2nd spot.

Talent, yes. He's in a wasteland. Maybe he will get traded to a contender next year. Would be great to see him finish his career strong elsewhere

I think Demaryius Thomas is the unsung hero of the bunch. Great combination of size, strength and speed. (6'3", 230lbs, 4.38 forty)

Right now I'd go:
Julio
AJ
DT88

I don't believe the front office/coaches view him as elite. I think they treat him as a regular wide receiver.

Maybe it's trust or issues with the outspoken personality, but playmakers get the ball. Dallas seems uninterested in doing that.

Absolutely. If Decker and Welker weren't there, he could be putting up crazy numbers. I guess it can be also argued Welker, Decker, Moreno and Manning open up more opportunities for him, but he did similar things with Tebow of all people.

I've always liked Fitzgerald. He's just in a terrible situation. That guy is amazing though.

What evidences of this do you have?

I think the fact that NOLA put the "punt return" defense on him last night is playing with your head. Dez is very much an elite wideout. The only negative is that DALs doesn't have a solid run game at this point. D.Murray needs another counterpart.
