I keep seeing all these Bucs fans complaining about Dez's speed and how Mike Williams is SOO much better. . . I'm here to tell you that sure, statistically Mike Williams is the better receiver right now. He may have ran a faster 40 yada yada yada which you think says "He's faster". Dez is electrifying, he's a gamebreaker/playmaker. He's a physical freak at that and the sky is the limit for him. Mike Williams is a solid wide out, but I don't see him getting any better than he was last season? I think that he prematurely peaked, I think Dez has the ability to be MUCH better than Mike Williams.
Dez showed the ability to physically outman/destroy opposing NFL cornerbacks. He's not the technician that Williams is (yet) but really doesn't have to be as his god given physical talent is just off the charts. Personally I think Dez's ratings are spot on (his route running and awareness suck, which is spot on) I do think Mike Williams should be rated 2 points ahead of Dez (85 OVR for Williams). Dez is faster than Mike Williams, he can jump higher than Williams. . . he is stronger than Williams and is more of a threat to take it to the endzone than Williams.
One thing I see Bucs fans really complaining about is Dez's speed (94). . . Here's just a few reasons to not take his much discussed "4.57" 40 time seriously. . .
1. Dez was suspended by the NCAA and missed almost a year of football and was really out of shape.
2. Due to not being in shape, Dez tweaked his hamstring a bit and missed the NFL combine.
3. Dez ran at OKst's pro day with his bum hamstring
4. Dallas drafts him, he goes into training camp and (again) he's still out of shape and tweaks his ankle.
5. Because of the ankle injury Dez is behind the curve (misses all of training camp and preseason).
6. Goes out week 1 (very green) and tries his best, but lacks the knowledge (playbook etc.) to be successful.
7. Shows big flashes week 3 and looks to have a promising future.
8. Hurts his ankle against the Colts. . . out for the year.
Dez ends the season with 12 games played 45 receptions, 561 yards, 6 receiving TDs, 21 1st downs, 2 Punt return TDs in only 15 attempts! (He also forced 2 fumbles lol)
Dez accomplished so much with such little experience/time/knowledge. . . and he was just playing school yard ball (little knowledge of the playbook/system) and tearing up (and abusing) some NFL defenses! How can people say that with OTA's and an off season with Romo that Dez won't just blow up this year? If Dez was in the shape he's in now and ran a 40 he'd easily run a 4.35-4.4 thus deserving of his 94 speed (not to mention him burning people in games which people seem to think doesn't matter?)
