Dallas Cowboys: Time to lower expectations for Dez Bryant
https://thelandryhat.com/2017/09/29/dallas-cowboys-lower-expectations-dez-bryant-dak-prescott/
...Like any member of Cowboy Nation, I appreciate the victory against the Arizona Cardinals. In a passing league, I’m not sure that success can come from 18 passing attempts with 13 completions. I’m not sure that Bryant can remain respected by defenses or used as a decoy in passing routes with merely two targets.
...Everyone that plays against the Cardinals knows they have to cover Larry Fitzgerald. How is it possible that he ends the game with 13 receptions on 15 targets for 149 yards and a touchdown? Meanwhile, Bryant has two receptions for 12 yards? Did the Cardinals invent a new type of – passing route – for Fitzgerald, that won’t work for Bryant? Either Bryant isn’t elite or an elite receiver needs a quarterback that’s willing and able to throw him the football?
Earlier this season, I stated that the Cowboys were patiently awaiting Bryant’s return to greatness. If not greatness, then at least have 1,000 receiving yards and double digit touchdowns. After 3 games, Bryant is on pace to have 60 receptions...
