It was dumb when you posted it in the other thread. Still dumb here.
Trading Dez does not help our offense. Period.

Guy sounds like a 30-year old vet.

Well he sure as heck isn't worth 15 million being used like a decoy.

It was one game.
One game.
Please don't add to the lunacy that's taken over around here the last few days.
There's basically a whole season of football left to be played.

Dez is in for a long, unproductive year.
Defenses will make a point of taking him out by moving a safety over the top, resulting in Dak looking elsewhere. They will be fine with Witten and Beasley getting 8 yards a catch because it's tough to score on 12-15 play drives consistently in this league.
There is no mention of getting Dez free schemewise. Maybe they will move him around and not telling the media, which is fine.
Pittsburgh and Cincinnati figure out ways of getting their star WR's the ball, despite all the attantion they get. Larry Fitzgerald is moved all over the field. Yet Dez is told to line up, and when the read is to him, they will throw the ball to him.
Doesn't seem like a good use of a $14M a year receiver to me.

Then you don't sell the house ....... you fire the maintenance crew and get a better crew who will get the best out of the house.

In the short term maybe.
Freeing up those assets and getting a good return could absolutely help the team going forward.
Dez isn't being traded though so it's moot.

It's not 1 game.
We've got yeeeeeeeaaaaars of this to go off of.
It's Jason Garretts Philosophy to play this way.
He did it with TO, Miles, and now Dez.
Watch any top NFL WR and you will not see them being used like Dez get used.

It's not one game. It's game #17....and counting. Last Sunday was simply a re-run of last year.

Sounds good to me.
I think Dez is amazing. I don't want to get rid of him.. But if you're going to keep Jason Garrett than you gotta have a darn near perfect team and spending 15 mill on a WR that doesn't get the ball is nothing but a waste.

Dak Prescott: "We'll get him the ball as it comes up in our offense. We're not gonna single out & say Dez has to get the ball on this play."
WHY NOT!? That's like saying "YEAH We ARN'T GONNA GIVE LEBRON JAMES THE BALL BECAUSE MATTHEW DELLAVEDOVA IS WIDE OPEN" like just stop please

Your right man! We almost ruined Miles Austin here by not using him correctly. Look how his career took off after he left.

Neither does a $18M decoy.

Antonio Brown was targeted almost 200 times last year. You think defenses aren't trying to stop him?
The Steelers find a way to get him the ball, regardless of what defenses do.
I think Brown is better then Dez, but Dez is a good enough receiver that they much find schemes to get him the ball more than they do.
