TO was a bigger draw than Dez.

You don't understand how good TO was and then you mention the entertainment factor.

Dez is no where near the draw TO was.

We got t.0 when he was what 33 ? And the downside of his career how would dez not be bigger


Agreed with the Entertainment part

Yeah, I would be worried about his health #1.

He will score goals as long as he's healthy, but you can tell he totally tuned his physical play down this year, which led to 75+ games and his almost career high numbers.

You would think, well, more like hope, that would show him what maturity and intelligent play can do for him for the rest of his career, but who knows on that.

Is there a chance the Sharks fall off the cliff and miss the playoffs next year with it being a 2019 1st round pick, if they get it?

T.O's last two years in the NFL he had more yards, a better yards per catch, more catches and the same TD's that Dez had his last two seasons.

You don't understand how good TO was even at 33, he was coming off the 3rd year in a row with over 1,000 yards, which would have been 9 straight years but he only played in 7 games in Philly and still put up over 700 yards (and 6 TD's)

He was 36.

He was a much better receiver than Dez.........by a large margin.

Dez needs like 8500 yds in the next 8 yrs to pass TO. That’s how good he was.

Couldn’t the argument be said that he had Hall of Famer QBs tossing him the ball ?

I think a lot of the great players in this game learn how to pace themselves in the regular season. It's why so many of the younger guys seem to burn out by years or playoffs and struggle.

It's a total mind (frank), but actually makes sense if the Browns truly want Allen.

But I never will believe that will happen

Jerry Rice was putting up the same numbers at that age and had Rich Gannon throwing to him.


So no.

TO had a few years of Jeff Garcia for fvcks sake

He is probably the 2nd best receiver of all time

Him and Moss is a toss up depending on who you ask (Larry Fitz is getting in that conversation as well)

Was he a HOF QB?


Nope.


TO only had Young for the 1st 3 years and 4 games then had Garcia.

- gerbe75pts


The Islanders made extremely fortunate deals and took advantage of teams in cap trouble to get a top pairing for 2nd round picks late in the offseason in Boychuck and Leddy.

That is some series of fortunate events to be duplicated.
