Dallas Cowboys are dead wrong about Dez Bryant
https://thelandryhat.com/2018/01/31/dallas-cowboys-dead-wrong-pay-cut-dez-bryant/



...Before the Dallas Cowboys request a pay cut for Dez Bryant, maybe they should consider these other factors and the other WR with zero touchdown receptions! The Cowboys’ general manager, owner and president – Jerry Jones – was once notorious for reward players with mega-gazillion-billion dollar contracts after a player appeared on ESPN highlights. It was a flawed concept then and it’s flawed now. Basing a player’s future salary on their past performances is a major flaw in the matrix.

An incentive based system could franchises from complaining about a receiver’s bad year. Especially when that receiver became the victim of an inaccurate, second year quarterback that ranked 27th in deep pass attempt percentage at 8.8% (according to Pro Football Focus – #Facts) and only averaged 208 passing yards per game.

It’s hard for any receiver to dominate the league when he’s splitting 208 passing yards with two other receivers, a tight end and a running back. Bryant’s contract looked great while our former, accurate, downfield throwing quarterback Tony Romo was averaging nearly 4,000 passing yards a season. Of course, Bryant is too much of a team player to say that. These are all numbers the front office needs to consider before publicly mentioning Bryant should give them a refund. Maybe it’s time for a real general manager in the front office or a better performing quarterback?

The last time I saw the English language butchered like that it involved Rob Gronkowski and a fifth of Jim Beam.

Yeah, incentive based so we can force the ball to him all the time.
Then throw it to him from 1st and goal.

CUT.....HIM

 

[stilltheguru88]

Lol this Dez stuff is another example of why we suck. Always drama, always hype

 

[G2]

Dak needs to do a better job of preventing defenders from punching the ball out of Dez's hand.

 

[ShiningStar]

another great contract by the cowboys. Stephen rules.

Either way we are stuck with it.

 

[ShiningStar]

i also want to say this, let Sanjay have some say and see what he gets out of Dez next season.

 

[CATCH17]

Dak needs to do a better job of preventing defenders from punching the ball out of Dez's hand.

The failure of Dez has several factors and it's not just 1 thing.


You got the drops and fumbles.

You got the injuries.

You got the most bland passing scheme in the NFL that lets the defense know what we are doing.

You have a QB that is not good at throwing the ball to his outside WR's.



Dez dropping passes really set everything off and made the whole Dez sucks movement grow legs but him dropping passes is the least of my worries.

Once he starts catching balls again then the excuse that he sucks at route running will have to be the thing people lean on but he's about the only guy I know besides a Randy Moss that can just run 2 routes a game and while letting the defense know exactly what we are doing and still be effective.

That article is flawed in so many ways:

Jerry Jones was "once notorious" rewarding players with mega-gazillion-billion dollar contracts, (as the article says and is still ongoing).
Hard to dominate when splittion 208 passing yards...really? How about catching more passes that hit you in the hands (and that's not just on Dez)...it's more magnafied on him because he's "supposed" to be a #1 WR and with that comes leadership which he sorely lacks......leaders lead by example and puts a 100% effort into every game, every play, not look like a spoiled brat whining and crying on the sidelines.

A "real" GM? We (including me) keep beating that poor dead horse......I don't know how much plainer it needs to be for us..........AS LONG AS JERRY JONES HAS A BREATH IN HIM AND A HEARTBEAT, HE WILL BE THE GM HERE.

CUT.....HIM

That makes no sense. Why would the team force it to him on an incentive based deal? The incentive would be to do just the opposite.

This forcing thing is nonsense. If Dez is wide open and Dak throws him the ball, you guys call it forcing. If Dak holds the ball too long and basically throws it away in Dez's general direction, you call it forcing and then try and call Dez out for his "catch %" and other nonsense.

Good post. There are more factors than that even. We've seen him make a scene on the sideline or screaming at coaches wanting the ball and that's "passion." We've seen him half step plays not designed to him. We've seen mental errors that an 8 year vet should not be making on the field. I'll leave out the off the field stuff because I don't really think it matters. We've seen him stand there "deer in the headlights" if a play breaks down while everyone else is scrambling playground style to get open. The Seattle game was the clincher for me. That fumble was just dumb. And it changed the games momentum.
I loved Dez but I can't defend him from being dumb and holding the ball in traffic like he's alone. Where's his head?

I expect we will see the same starting QB next season. Just about have to. I guess we will see Dez and Whitten next season. Just about have to. Guess we will have the same HC and OC. Outside of a miracle we just about have to. So, same passing game next season. All we fans can do is wish for the best and expect less. Just about have to.

I'm really starting to like the sound of "former Cowboys WR Dez Bryant".....

That’s gonna happen sooner or later. Another season like last year and you can bet on the sooner

 

[sean10mm]

Dez has been near the bottom in catch rate on the team for 3 years running. It's not some new development, he hasn't been consistently good since the 2014 season.

When it comes to hands he's made TWill look like prime Michael Irvin lately. I can excuse a ton of things due to circumstances, but I can't excuse a receiver NOT CATCHING when the rest of the team can do it at an acceptable rate.

Why would they force it to him?
Gosh I don't know if he was on a incentive-based contract can you imagine him throwing Tantrums up and down the sidelines if he wasn't getting enough attempts.

And I can't believe you're going to sit here and say nobody was forcing the ball to Dez last year
Good Lord

Last time I asked for specific plays where it was forced, there was a lot of blustering and no examples.

 

[Arkyvarminter]

I can't believe people think Dez is going anywhere...won't happen
