Dez has to be feeling like a kid in a toy store. His career starts as one of the premier receivers in the NFL. He plays for an on-again, off-again, but mostly off-again team under an egomaniac owner - wannabe coach then gets cut. Basically a hot mess team if there ever was one.

One day the phone rings and miracle upon miracles, he's playing for the #1 ranked team in the NFL that's fielding the #2 scoring offense and primed for a Super Bowl run......playing pitch and catch with the greatest QB of all time.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus and he seems to have passed early for Dez this year.

He doesn't get great separation but against the third or fourth corner he should help this team. When he gets integrated into the system and gets on the same page as Drew he should be an asset that can give us one or two big plays a game.

Dez has never been a 'separation receiver' he is closer to a Jimmy Graham style physical receiver than a Michael Thomas..

Bryant is 6'2" 220ish and bullys defensive backs. In contrast Thomas weighs 202..

Dez would drag you into the endzone, Thomas would dare you to catch him.

..and he's got hands. Something I have never been comfortable with in a few of our receivers namely Ginn.

Dez Bryant not expected to play Sunday vs. Bengals
by Mike Maher | Saints Correspondent | Fri, Nov 9th 1:29pm EST

New Saints wide receiver Dez Bryant is not expected to play in Sunday's game against the Bengals, according to a report from Tom Pelissero. The team wants him to drop weight, form chemistry with Drew Brees, and have more time to learn the offense.

And no need to give Philly any ideas of how Payton & co tend to utilize him.
