Dez right now is better than gallup. Dez would come here and get the 2nd or 3rd corner for the first Time in his life.
This is true.
As a fan of Dez, I did not always agree with Dez and his distractions..
and his injuries became chronic factors as he got older.
And Dak clearly struggled in his second year which made Dez a scapegoat in my opinion. Dak was clearly not mature as a QB yet.
I say if Dak is in line for his big payday, he needs to be able to play with whomever they need to bring in for him to play with.
So nix that concern.
Supposedly Dez was unable to run more than a few routes and Dak needed more disciplined route running from Dez to improve.
What crap.
Garrett did not care for Dez and did not like him and moved him out deciding his leadership and a group of 'no name receivers' could play as well as Dez.
Wrong on all counts. Garrett over estimated things, Dak struggled, they had to take emergency actions with the Cooper trade to stop the hemorrhaging.
Now we all see what we had in Garrett and Dez was right about him from the start.
Dez, the team and the fans were in a big circle jerk over Garrett's having Jerrah's ear on all this and he was very wrong.
Dez maybe correct about at this point being effective in Witten's role as a possession receiver.
And playing #3 CBs would be a huge mismatch on paper.
But you have to view it from the playcaller eyes..
not from the players.
Hmmm..
Can we get a 1 year deal to try it out?
They paid Witten what? $3 mil last year to come back?
Is Dez worth that? I say yes but do it using incentives where if Dez and Dak make it work..
then Dez gets paid and he gets a shot at a better contract in year two.
He is protected, gets to prove himself, Dak gets more help, MM looks smart..
everybody is happy.
I say yes.
Now does MM want to get involved in all this under the bridge grudge stuff of Dez and Garrett and past stuff.?
Hmmm..
He might be wise to ask Dez for some recent workout tape and have a sitdown lunch with his WR coach and look at some film with him.
Just a thought.
