News: Cowboys Appear to Be Moving on From Dez Bryant

[dallasdave]

Unless that contract is much less than I think I highly doubt they go OL in the first round.

From 2012 to 2014 Dez was a top 5 WR.
He averaged 91 catches 1312 yards and 14 tds in those three years.
I know it seems so long ago. I think a lot of people have forgotten.

IMO, he didn't move the chains well enough to be a top 5 WR.

I'm no fan of Garret and Linehan and basically think both are incompetent. That said, I've always wonder how Dez would have performed playing for a competent coach who runs an effective system with a team with a cutting edge front office? For a team whose owner didnt coddle him and enable his tantrums? For a team with an alpha QB?

What say you?

More like what would Dez have become playing for a coach who made him run his routes hard and maximized his potential?

But, what if. What if they've tried to get him to learn the route tree better or become better at it, and he just hasnt. Either not wanted to or just couldnt get it down. But since he knows his days could be numbered he finally took some initiative to learn it?

Butler already confirmed that in Dallas they don’t want their players doing anything outside of what their main strengths are. Butler indicated his route tree was limited when he got to Dallas despite what he’s able to run and been able to. He said in dallas whatever your strength is they just stick with that and have you run routes just based on that.

Part of what he said was probably Derek Dooley's doing...the other thing ,He sounds like a guy who knows he's heading out of the league soon,prolly 2 years max. Sour grapes I think.

The Dezerters are having their fun

We will have our fun in September in the Red Zone

Throw up the X

Doubtful. All former players have said the same thing. Hell other opposing coaches discuss how basic our offense is.

Butler said this at the time when there was a likelihood he could remain in dallas. The only reason he didn’t is because he refused to stay if he wasn’t made a starter

Well Brice...BYE. lol

If Dez is traded and looks like an all pro, the good news is Garrett is gone!

Garrett hasn't been trash...but this year is it for him..his final act. HE MUST GET THIS CLUB TO THE POST SEASON AND MAKE IT DEEP. Dak has to be Dak...and Zeke has to be available all 16 games. The oline is key in all this.

If Dez becomes all world on another team, Garrett is trash.

Nope. Garrett isn't the guy getting paid to be a stud. He's not the guy wearing 88...or the guy who chose NOT to hone his route running skills in over 8 years. That's all Dez. Garrett can only coach the guys he has. Linehan may have SOME blame play calling wise,but that's where it ends..BUT don't forget about Derek DOOLEY. A good positional coach gets his players attention. He didn't do his job. 90 % of the blame falls on Dez and Dez alone.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I only move on from him if someone wants to trade for him. I think Dez still has value even if it has diminished over the last few years.

I agree. For someone of his caliber, I'm not letting him go without something in return.

Depends on what Garrett’s team does

Not gonna happen

That's all well and good but his value doesn't match what he's getting paid. That's the issue.

Yeah its hard for me to take anything Butler says seriously.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion, friend.

If we are still talking only about years 2012-2014, he averaged 14.4 yards a catch.
You bring up an interesting point though. I don't know where to find stats for 1st down catches.
But, man, those TDs. Not many WRs average 14 TDs a season for three years.

Coming from the guy who can't learn the playbook, I'm going to have to declare a mistrial!!!
