2014 Stats
Dez Bryant played in more games but their team was comparable to us in that they ran a lot later in the season.
Here are the stats that stick out
Yards per catch. number of catches. and season total are about the same. when you consider AJ green missed games
Fumbles
AJ Green - 2 ( both recovered by other team )
Dez Bryant - 0
Touchdowns
AJ Green - 6
Dez Bryant - 16
So while they average each other in catches it doesnt reflect interceptions caused by play, fumbles, or red zone effectiveness.
Dez Bryant is the superior receiver and much more reliable right now, but he's constantly gotten better every year based off his stats and has always been a more reliable red zone target.
1. AFC North is tougher than NFC East. That's 6 games right there.
2. In 2013 Dalton spread the ball around. 6 receivers had 400 or more yards. No other team did that.
3. Romo > Dalton
4. Both tried running a similar scheme.
They resemble each other in catches and yards. Green missed games and even played a game while hurt. Yes, Bryant had a better 2014 season. I would hope he did.
But also check out 2013:
Bryant: 1,233 yards. 93 receptions. 13 touchdowns. Only 2 other players had 400 or more yards. Witten (851) and Williams (736).
Green: 1,426 yards. 98 receptions. 11 touchdowns. Same year the Bengals had 6 players with 400 or more yards. Jones (716), Gio (514), Gresham (458), Sanu (455), and Eifert (445).
Also, Green has gotten better year in and year out as well. He played 11 games, 12 if you want to count him limping in the Denver game. Injuries robbed him of a great season. Green was averaging 94.6 yards a game that year. 86.8 if you want to include the Denver game.
That's a 1,514 yard season. Or 1,385 yard season. Depending on how you view the Denver game.
