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...

I've busted him and have no problem doing it again, BUT:
He's a legit weapon and should never be underestimated.

We've seen some pretty good defenses so far...and with talent, who is fearing him?



The Los Angeles Rams, our next opponent are ranked 11th in passing yards allowed. They are giving up 204.7 passing yards per game this season. The Denver Broncos are ranked 10th. The Rams are allowing 139 rushing yards per game this season.

It’ll be fun to see how the Cowboys attack the Rams defense, but it seems that we will continue to see more of running back Ezekiel Elliott than Dez Bryant this week.

I'd fear him if I was in a situation where I offended the stuffing out of him in a dark alley and we both felt threatened before our interaction.

I know... Kind of specific.

He's too much of a laugher to stay pissed...

You know, it's better if you roll with a joke, once in a while, instead of...
Never mind. You're awesome.

There's something about being able to maintain a top scale performance level. Bryant has been a great team leader...but now, isn't showing top shelf performance, no matter what. He more often seems to be taking what they give him. That part is not a remake of an Irvin...just truthful here.

C'mon, don't underestimate an enemy...that will get you in deep kimchee...but I'm rooting for big plays from Dez.
You misunderstand me, but my stance isn't something serious enough to debate, or argue about.
Honestly, I'm in agreement.

No worries. I'm about to retire for the evening so I can unleash my stupidity upon my wife for the night.
God bless her.

Easy fella'...even after a pass out night of tequila, we're smooth.:)

CCBoy--- look for Bryant to have break out game sunday...he had the best db's in all of NFL on him first three games...now i agree too Dak is not a polished pocket passer that can anticipate defenses yet...but he compensates with out of pocket plays..and rams best defensive back is ruled out for sunday...i believe the pass will open up the run on sunday ...and we will enjoy both run and pass 1st downs and TD's and Dez will have TD's 3 and maybe 4 sunday

He is done after this season. A red zone jump ball specialist with nothing more to offer. Time, long overdue, to say goodbye.

I'd be extremely surprised if they cut him or crawford next season. Don't see either happening.

Man, I'm a loyal fan and love producers...but at least I am paying attention.

The Rams have given up a lot of big plays, and this well could be a big game for Dez Bryant.
As well as Williams and Butler sightings.

An over the top receiver would compliment perfectly with Dez.

His guaranteed money is up. So is his time in Dallas. Too expensive with too little return on the investment. It will be a business decision. Production vrs jersey sales. Time to say goodbye. Bryant is done as a viable commodity. That's all that matters to ole Jerry boy.
