First name I thought of when I read the thread title.
He was a non-factor in both of the Giants games and had to line up in different spots to avoid Josh Norman in the Skins games.
I love Dez, and I know Norman is a damn good CB, but when you're supposed to be one of the best WRs in the game you don't let yourself get shut down by one man. Don't run from him, beat him.

I think that's a fair point, but I would say that he and Dak looked to be developing a much better rapport as the season went along, and the game he had against Green Bay is a great sign of improvement and a positive sign going into 2017.

I'm expecting to see that level of connection this year rather than the early season struggles of 2016.

PS. sorry I could only "like" your post, I think I have stronger feelings for it than that...

Dez needs to stay on the field and continue to build chemistry with Dak. As Dak improves, so will Dez.

He had 3 horrible games---I can contribute at least two of those(both Giants games) to a rookie QB. If you look at the other games he was on the field and healthy...he was normal Dez. He also seemed to really get the chemistry with Dak down as the season went on.

I don't disagree that he can be better but if he played like he played last season and stays healthy...he will put up Dez Bryant pre contract numbers.

It'll also help if the coaching staff moved him around some more. He was the best player on the field in the playoff game...for either team.

He regularly disappears for entire weeks at a time, which is why he's just not an elite WR.

First name? Really? He sure was a factor in that GB game, did all he could to make a difference.

He was also a factor in a number of games during the season. He was showing more and more chemistry with Dak, and Dak made it clear to him that he won't just throw it his way, even tho he started to see that he could do so with great success towards the second half of the season.

You use the two Giants games. The whole offense was meh in those games.

Good stuff, fellas!

All good and if I was asked to put it in order Garrett's improvement would be #1 for me.

Agree 100% early in the season Beas was the guy and like you said as the season progressed it moved to Dez...good stuff man!

Amen. Most especially this!

Would be #1 if it was in order! Hopefully he puts it all together this year.

There are definitely others who need to step up in a bigger way. Demarcus Lawrence would be No. 1 in my opinion. Dez was the first name I thought of because he's a marquee player. He's the kind of player that the offense needs to be able to go to when nothing is going right. More often that not, he fills that role nicely but not always.

Maybe. I don't have much faith in Garrett. Maybe, maybe could pull off a Switzer if given enough talent. This boy has no feel for the game. Too me, he is a well educated con man. Or he has colour photo's of ole Jerry boy and various farm animals!.

Jason is not new to the game. What you have seen is what you are going to get. He is the weak link. Look at McCarthy...thats a football guy. Look at Garrett...thats a fancy Lawyer or.....
