Eli said he was on the level of those considered above him and his maturity was not questioned. He may not yell and scream but the faces he makes after picks seems more immature to me as fan than my receiver being passionate.

You ever watch any of the mods around here? Not that I would ever want you to be a mod, but you can learn a thing or two from Scipio, Idgit, etc.

I agree with you on that, Eli to me is nothing. So why bring up Eli on the first place, Eli can have his own threads and people can voice their opinions on him there. We can agree or disagree on those too.

This organization is a joke, it's time someone let them know that this is not acceptable

give me 53 Dez Bryants

Agreed. Dez is Dez. He is a fantastic talent and wants to win and believes himself to be a weapon to use in that pursuit. And I 100% agree with him. If the HC, OC, QB cannot do it- they can all find the door.

Tired of this pop-gun offense that only looks good when supreme talents make supremely talented plays. The offensive scheme we have is disjointed, clumsy, has no tempo and predictable. Talk about a recipe for success.

It's like G-Force with the stupid robot calling the shots somehow.

I know that all the teammates vouched for dez after the game and even deion and irvin defended him for his passion, but no matter how many times i rewatch those clips, it was a bad scene for dez. To me, this falls into the realm of his immaturity and letting his emotions get the better of him. The same stuff as when he's arguing with the refs over a ballspot in the final minute against baltimore and ends up costing his team precious seconds on the clock.

I truly think dez has a team oriented mentality and is a good guy overall, but clearly today he was pretty out of control on the sidelines. There's a difference between grabbing the attention of one of your teammates to get a message across and screaming like a complete lunatic on the sideline, grabbing and barging into other people, who were doing their jobs and making gameplan adjustments.

I wouldn't say dez's behavior was selfish and diva-like (attention grabbing), but it was a distraction and destructive behavior on the sidelines. The worst part of it all was coming out in the post game presser and claiming it was 'positive'.....not 'i couldve handled my emotions better' or something similar.............that was pretty disappointing to hear. and i say this as an unabashed dez bryant fan....im trying to understand where he's coming from, and i desperately want to see him succeed not only on the field. His heart is in the right place, i truly believe that......but there was a better way to go about it.

This is exactly how I feel about this incident, and I'm glad I'm not the only one. Surely we can't all agree, but I didn't think Dez looked good out there today.

I liked the fire and emotion from Dez. It may look ugly on TV, but I am glad someone has a pulse on the team. Its not to say the quiet leaders like Romo/Ware do not want to win just as much as Dez does, but sometimes I like to see the fiery from a player. I do not think he is hurting anybody. I do not feel he is being selfish. He wears his heart on his sleeve. As long as he continues to be a team player, I see nothing wrong with having his outbursts. It just gets magnified 10X because we lost.

Dear Dez, you're beyond great, it's just that, grow up and shut up or get out!

Dear Dez:


Talent isn't everything, I am a huge supporter of you, I think you have sick talent, ridiculous once in a generation kind of talent, (well perhaps twice), because as much talent as you have you'll never be Calvin Johnson.

Now wait a minute, not because of the lack of talent -- not like that at all -- it's because of your lack of maturity, your lack of focus and your absolutely disgusting childish personality on the bench.


Your two TD catches today were far more superior than those of Johnson, the one handed ridiculous catch, the amazing balance and speed on the sideline. The talent is there, the fear in the defense is always active, but the tantrum on the sideline. Child please!?


Have you ever seen Rice, Fitzgerald, Calvin and Andre Johnson ever do that? I haven't either, I only saw Randy Moss, Terrell Owens and now you, do it. Those are the ridiculously talented, yet controversial players. Sometimes forgotten and always critiqued players. Do you want to be remembered for that? The ridiculously talented receiver who not become the complete focused, intelligent, and also unstoppable player?


If I'm head coach or any kind of coach I would slap you silly, fine you and call you out. You're not supposed to go yell at your quarterback like that, I mean after all you owe him everything. And how do I know you're wrong? Because you even managed to get Mr. Professional, Mr. All-Pro, and Mr. Cowboy Jason Witten t go out of his way and tell you out. Not even that, but the defender of the generation DeMarcus Ware too.

I don't care if you're passionate, I don't care if you want to win and YOU THINK you want to win more badly than the rest, that is NO WAY to call out the teammates, that is no way to behave in the sideline, not with a star in your helmet.


Consider this a personal note from me (an average fan) to you (an above average superstar), if you want to be the complete package, the class-act and the respected player, you have to be a leader, a well-behaved leader. Surely you want to win, but don't you think Calvin Johnson wants to win too? And did you see him yell at Stafford in the sideline after each of his multiple interceptions? Did you see him get off like some kind of gangster on the south side of Chicago at midnight after a bar fight? Simply no. So dear Dez, get it together, keep it straight mentally speaking, and go out there and win with your game, not with your immature and childish attitude.


Sincerely,


Mookie


Being well behaved has nothing to do with being great, Your entire story was good until that point. Dez was right in what he did today, don't let the announcers fool you. Call him a crybaby, call him a whiner but also call Dez great cause that is what he should be called. If he asked for a trade all 31 teams would be calling Dallas. I will leave it at that.

Because he LOVES the Dallas Cowboys! Why would he want a trade? He wants his childhood team who he's dreamed of playing for to win ball games! He cares and Loves them and wants to win 4 years of not winning is frustrating. You want him to request a trade? Sound like a Diva? It's not in his character

Probably because our defense was wondering in the hell they were doing back on the field. They should have been celebrating the win instead the offense screwed up and put them in a bad position.

Do you even answer responses? or do you just troll around and a push an agenda...

Thanks,

12 replies (answers) not counting this one, so make it 13. Troll? Hardly. I have just started to post this season with a total of 115 posts and 43 likes. That leaves me with a like percentage of 37%. You on the other hand have 28,578 posts and 14 likes; a whopping 0.000489%. (Gee I hope those stats are wrong).
That makes me Peyton Manning, and it makes you Ryan Leaf. Quality over quantity my fellow "respectful" and very brave Cowboys fan.

Man... this thread degraded from strong opinion to conciliatory nothing...

There TB I helped with the like since that's so important to Mookie and he doesn't realize the "like" system just started not that long ago.

Throw Dez the ******* ball Tony.

He was wide open on that crucial 3rd down play in which Romo went into double coverage over the middle. Dez will beat most 1 on 1 when thrown up to him like we all have seen but for some reason Romo just does not target him enough and look how much the other gun WR's are targeted compared to Dez.

THROW HIM THE BALL FFS.

I can totally understand Dez's frustrations.

Funny since likes were very recently introduced. Most of us had thousands of posts before this, so the % will be lower. A very nice elementary school burn BTW, major props :)
