One of the laziest takes about CeeDee is calling him a “slot merchant.”
He isn’t a slot-only WR. He can line up outside, in the slot, in stacks, bunches, motion across the formation, and win from all of them. Dallas moves him around because he’s versatile enough to stress defenses from anywhere.
And that’s been the case even before the Pickens addition
That’s also why the Lamb + Pickens pairing works so well.
Lamb is a complete receiver who can be deployed all over the formation and create matchup problems. Pickens is an elite boundary receiver with rare ball skills, length, and vertical ability.
They don’t have to be the same player to both be dangerous. In fact, their different skill sets are what make them complementary.
@WillsonBrody@1053thefan@CrwnGlobalMedia@gavindawson@ZachWolchuk@EricChiofalo Bruh the point is you judging him off a rookie season where he was fighting injury and a second year where he was fresh from said injury and in a terrible scheme. You can’t just say he’s ass when there’s literal film of him playing good football. It’s a lazy take
@demo1059980@1053thefan@BobbyBeltTX@1053SS@rjchoppy Ofc not they were the worse defense in the league. One of the worse in NFL history. I don’t think they could’ve competed with anybody last year. I’m comparing them to the 2020 defense and pointing out how quickly DQ turned it around and I’m saying I believe Parker can do the same
@demo1059980@1053thefan@BobbyBeltTX@1053SS@rjchoppy Not even true. Dan Quinn turned this defense around immediately from what Mike Nolan had it in 2020. (Also one of the worse in franchise history like 2025). They weren’t the best in the league but they went from bottom 5 to top 15 and that’s a realistic expectation for Parker.
@WillsonBrody@1053thefan@CrwnGlobalMedia@gavindawson@ZachWolchuk@EricChiofalo You just talking. Good player coming out of college he just went to a small school. Showed flashes under Al Harris then he battled two different injuries. Then got minimal minutes in a shitty scheme. He definitely has potential to be a good player under Parker
@NoFilm_Analysis Fuck no😂and I like Derrick Henry but he’s about 6K yards away and I got him playing 2 more seasons max. If he plays longer than that he won’t be what he is right now
@butt5erfly@Mr_Wonderful90@yusi5yusra@apox6ix No way yall think that means anything. You take What did I miss off the album and it still reaches 1B streams in less than a month. Stop the cope
@NickHarrisFWST Ngl it’s going to be embarrassing if Guyton loses the job. First round pick going into year 3 hasn’t put together one complete season yet. They got him in the schedule release videos and shit and he might not even start lmao
