Two different sets of announcers have said Bessley is getting doubled due to Dez being easy to cover now. Announcers study previous games and meet with the team prior to the game.

And Linehan the actual coach said the DL were dropping while showing rush, which is totally irrelevant to doubles on Dez, which in that thread you originally tried to use as ‘proof’ that this means they aren’t doubling Dez anymore.

Now your using ‘announcers’, who even knows.. but an announcer by the name of Romo blamed the thrower implicitly

Feels a guy??? Dude it's called pressure, which cause the pass to sail high, he had no follow thru, take off your Dak hater glasses.
There is a group here that I call the Dez Fan Boiz. They will make any excuse and they get very nasty when confronted. They accused me of things I can't even discuss here that have nothing to do with football.

LOL........so you finally admit that Dez stopped on the route? Progress. So in conjunction with that, then the result is that the throw was NOT inaccurate, Dez just stopped on the route.

What are you taking about? Of course he hesitated on an UNCATCHEABLE ball, because he was protecting himself from getting blasted by Bowman, who Dak with his awful throw led him into..

That’s what’s been said from the beginning.. you on the other hand said Dez got scared of a DB, meaning you had no idea what was happening on the play..

If we're blaming Dak for Dez not being able to catch a cold, why do Terrence Williams and Brice Butler have good catch rates? Why does Witten have his best catch rate since 2012?

Dez just isn't the same without an elite QB. He runs limited routes and has a very specific skill set. Unless he is used in just the right way, he becomes much more of a JAG. Until Dak develops and learns how to use him, this is what he is IMO. There could be some truth to the injury concerns, but we won't know that tell end of season, if at all. I believe another part of this is Dak's unwillingness to make some of the throws that Dez is elite at. These throws have much more risk, which goes against the very trait that made Dak so good last year, risk aversion.

The entire offense is built on "limited routes." We have no idea what Dez is capable of.

Garrett is still here, so you got to deal with it. Just like Dez as well..

And dont I know it? And I am hating it with Garrett. Dez isnt a big deal for me. Although personally I would move on from him in the off season. But I doubt Jerry would even entertain that.

Here is an article that I believe talks about everything . And I agree as he does that its both.

Prescott's numbers dipped without Elliott. He passed for 16 touchdowns with only four interceptions the first eight games with Elliott behind him and posted a quarterback rating of 97.9. Over the last six games, Prescott has five touchdown passes with seven interceptions and a quarterback rating of 76.6.

Much of the outside chatter about why the Cowboys' passing game hasn't been as sharp in Year 2 under Prescott has been aimed at the lack of chemistry between him and Bryant.

But the reality is more convoluted. It's more a combination of Prescott's inaccuracy at times, the receivers' inability to create separation and defenses simply taking away a comfort zone.

During Prescott's rookie season, he was able to keep drives alive by finding slot receiver Cole Beasley, who led the Cowboys with 75 catches for 833 yards.

Defenses aren't allowing Beasley to get free on short routes this season, leading to what he called his most frustrating season as a pro. Beasley averaged two catches per game over the six-game stretch without Elliott. He has only 34 receptions for 302 yards all year.

Williams has also been a nonfactor for most of the year. He doesn't even have a touchdown catch with two games to play and averaged just 27.2 receiving yards without Elliott.

Bryant clamored Sunday night about all the double-teams he's faced in 2017, and the Raiders did often roll coverage his way. But the reality is that defenses haven't surrounded him as much this year as they have at other times in his career.

Prescott hasn't found the same success throwing to Bryant that Tony Romo enjoyed, especially in the red zone.

Prescott hasn't given Bryant a shot to make a catch at times, sailing passes over his head or delivering them behind him. But Bryant hasn't been as sharp, either. He has 10 of the Cowboys' 24 dropped passes.

Prescott has forced the ball to Bryant at times when coverage dictated that it go elsewhere. That's part of why it's been about a 50-50 chance that Prescott completes a pass thrown to Bryant. Bryant has caught only 63 of his 118 targets.

This is true for this particular play in question. It wasn’t the “threat of pressure”. Dak was hit on his follow through and short armed the pass.

Dak does need better and more consistent footwork.

But the miss on this play wasn’t just Dak missing an easy throw for no reason. He was hit as he was releasing the ball.

Prescott, Weeden, Cassell and Moore.

So you are saying without Romo he sucks? You are pretty much proving my point that its time for him to go in Dallas. Not worth the money. Certainly you arent suggesting that we replace Dak? This is a running team now.

Dak doesnt like throwing to guys that arent open. You can tell he just doesnt feel comfortable tossing the ball up for grabs. If you want to blame Dak for that, by all means go ahead. Personally, I cant blame him. Romo had no problem tossing the ball up and taking chances. Its why he had so many picks. Dak is a different bread. Not a gunslinger but a hell of a QB none the less. If you disagree then its your issue. Without Prescott where would this team be right now? Romo and his broken back have retired.

Where are we now? I like Dak but he's a fair to middling qb, a bus driver right now. That doesn't mean he won't get better but as of now all our receiver's stats are going to suffer.

Dez has never played with an elite QB.
