Cowlishaw: There is a simple reason Dez won't be a perennial Pro Bowler - Dallas Cowboys Forum

**WoodysGirl** · 02-10-2013

Has Dez Braynt finally turned the corner? Can we expect Pro Bowl seasons for the next 3-5 years?
Too many good WRs in the NFC -- Calvin Johnson, Brandon Marshall, Victor Cruz, Larry Fitzgerald, Crabtree, Roddy White and Julio Jones -- to make that kind of pronouncement. Turned the corner? Yes, he did that in 2012. He's clearly their best offensive weapon. Perennial Pro Bowl pick? That's too hard.

Greetings Tim - Are there any players coming back from the injured list who you think will make the team and perhaps solve some of the Cowboys' depth problems this season?
Yeah. A guy named Sean Lee.

I think I just saw someone mention Crabtree ahead of Bryant?

I don't think he was putting him ahead Dez. I think he's just saying that, with that much talent, it's hard to say he'll be among the best 3-5 players every single season, especially if he misses any amount of time during a season.

Bingo.

It's a loaded position in the NFC.

Of course, you'd expect a few of those guys to miss the probowl because their team is in the SB. Some might even get hurt in the playoffs and not be able to play.

Dez won't have those problems so even in a down year, he'll have an increased chance of making the game.

Sorry Timmy. You sound like you're itchin' for a job with Espn with garbage statements like that. Dez has the opportunity and ability to be a lot better than Crabtree, B. Marshall, and Cruz.

The mindset seems to be there for Dez. Not good for the rest of the NFL.

Crabtree finally got recognized this season after how many years in the league?

He already has a job on ESPN. I think he's a regular on Around the Horn...or at least he used to be.

Dez showed this year he can play just as good as all but two those guys. Because I am pretty sure he was close in stats with everyone but Marshall and Megatron.

Pretty much a popularity contest. Hating on the Cowboys seems more prevalent than ever.

Dez grew up this past season. The thing with his mom interrupted the first part of the season, IMO.

But, when that was worked out, he looked like he needs to wear #88. Broken finger and all.

SDCowboy85 · 02-10-2013

He's not far off. There are a lot of really good WRs so some are going to be left out. Similar to QBs. In the NFC, Dez and Romo are likely going to be snubs at their positions. Even as other players drop out.

Irvin was chosen to 5 probowls and his contemporaries were better than the names Cowlishaw just mentioned. It's all up to Dez, he has all the talent in the world.

I don't know anyone who wouldn't take Bryant over Crabs...

But Dez had the best season for any WR to not make the pro bowl since like 1962 or somethign ridiculous.

The fact that he is a Cowboy is the ONLY logical reason that he wasn't in the pro bowl this year. The only one.

Or perhaps that his off field issues and seemingly poor attitude bit him in the butt.

No matter how great Vick is or could be, many people would unfortunately still go back to his acts off the field. And say...nope, not voting for him.

It's petty but it is real. I hear all the time about what happened decades ago with Irvin. What in the heck does that have to do with this guy on the field Sundays ? Absolutely nothing. Yet years later people still hold a grudge about something that had nothing to do with them.

How about the fact that the team was only 8-8 & failed to make the playoffs once again?
