You want to compare Dak's rookie year stats with Rogers and Brady's stats in their 10th plus seasons?

Brady had 29 TDs and 12 INTS his first full year as a starter. Aaron Rogers had 28 TDs and 13 INTS as a full time starter. And both guys were already in the NFL for few years when they became full time starters.

Dak had 24 TDs but only 4 INTS last year as a rookie.

I'm not the one who brought up the comparison with future hall of famers...

Jackrabbit Jenkins was allowed to assault Dez consistently on deep routes......had I been the ref.....Jenkins would have whistled for 3 PIs, at minimum. What happened to the 5 yd rule regarding contact? While Jackrabbit has improved and hailed a Dez stopper.....C'mon Man!!! Had Dak been sizzling.....we'd have seen the X sign.

Dez carried us in the Packer playoff loss. He's invaluable to this team. He's the type of player that makes us extremely hard to stop. Not just hard.

He obviously gets a lot of attention and I believe the op since he's the only one to document what happened.

I am open to a review that says that is incorrect. That won't change my opinion he's extremely important to our teams success. I'd like to see if someone will prove the op wrong. So far not.

Makes you wonder why they don't want a true 4.3 guy at WR that just rips the sidelines and gives our bigger guys a breather.

4.3 guys have never been on Jerry's priority list. We had Joey Galloway and Raghib Ismail and that was it. And that came from a dubious era in Cowboys history.
Garrett clearly likes the bigger receiver because he's a big stickler for blocking regardless of the offensive position you play. I think we have the best offensive blocking team in the league between our O-Line, TE's, WR's and EE. But, you're not likely going to do that with Will Fuller or John Ross types. And we are a balanced offense. And usually those 4.3 guys go early in the draft anyway.

Dez is NOT an elite WR. He is shut down often and does not create enough space from his defender most of the time. I like him and he motivates the team, but I would rather see him shut up and start putting up Julio and Antonio type numbers.
When you say Julio or Antonio numbers, are you speaking yardage or touchdowns?
