IS Jeremy Maclin better than Dez Bryant?
For years Maclin took a backseat as the #2 to DeSean Jackson. Now that Jackson has moved on, we’re getting a taste of why Maclin didn’t want to sign a smaller deal this offseason. In a head to head comparison with Bryant, Maclin owns him every single category that they aren’t tied in. Someone in a Facebook group (NFC BEAST) that I’m currently a member of, posted this question:
It makes you wonder if those who respond will compare Bryant and Maclin’s careers, or if they’ll go by this season. My answer was Maclin. Not because I’m an EAGLES fan but because
Right now this is no contest. It’s not even fair. I mean look at this:
And that’s with BOTH men having played 10 games, as both teams are 7-3. Again, Maclin owns Bryant in any category they aren’t tied in.
OWNS him. Like a dog. Or a pair of socks.
Now that Maclin is no longer the second option, he’s making it known that HE is the best WR in the NFC East. But what do you think? Comment here on the website.
This is what concerns me here. The Eagles will give Maclin a big contract and big money which would be an even bigger mistake. I never like paying a guy after a career year in his contract year (see Riley Cooper and Mike Vick) and I get the feeling Maclin will go back to being a very solid number two instead of being a legit number one. That’s if he can stay healthy to boot. Maclin is a serious case of buyer beware. At least he’s not the major head case that Bryant is with all those rules and guards the Cryboys are paying and putting on him, because they don’t trust him.
