Dez has arrived

shouldn't he put together a FULL season before the annointing oil comes out? I say absolutely he should...you guys are SO easy to please. I know how Jerrah the Wizard does it: pay no attention to the oline, safeties or 'special' teams..........just concentrate on DMurray, Tony and Dez!!!:bang2:

Shouldn't you be starting another thread about how much we suck after a win.
 
6 targets.........6 receptions!

(Witten 8 targets....6 receptions...108 yards!)
 
Feels good to be among that group of people who always stood in this kid's corner through the ups and downs, because now everybody is seeing what he's capable of doing on a week to week basis. I believe the game has become easy for him, and he's only going to get better
 
I LOVE Dez lately. He is one of the brightest spots of this season. Romo is looking for him more and more. There are barely any stupid miscommunications. And he is our only playmaker.

He's really turned things around from earlier in the year.

What I like best is that Romo trusts him now. He's definitely #1 and go-to guy
 
Most of the time he and Romo are the reasons to keep watching this football team.

I hope they stay with the Cowboys for their entire careers.
 
Amazing what one week will do for public opinion around here.

Consistency was the biggest concern.

Yes and he seems to be answering the bell. He has 8 games with 85 or more yards in the 12 contests this year. He also has 4 100-yard games plus a 98 yarder and a 95 yarder after having only 1 the previous two years combined.

You also have to love his ability to score. 8 TDs as a rookie, 9 last year and 8 so far this year. I bet there are not many receivers with more TDs over the last 3 years than him.

To me the thing that has been most impressive is how many of the things that he was doing wrong last year that he does better this year:
1. He only ran 3 routes last year
2. Romo seems to be trusting him a bit more on his reads lately
3. He maintains his cool on the field and off of the field during games this year. Last year it seemed that coaches expended a lot of energy trying to keep him calm and in the game.
4. He doesn't leave himself as open for shots by trying to break multiple tackles quite as much.
5. He doesn't disappear in the second half anymore.

The one thing that has disappointed me this year is a few crucial drops. I still believe he has been very clutch overall throughout his Cowboys career and was rooting for him so hard to pull down that catch against the Skins in the 4th quarter on Turkey day but the safety made a great play putting his helmet on the ball before he tucked it away. That one-handed catch just before the end of the half was great and the back-shoulder throw catch for the TD on 4th down on Turkey day was also great.

Now if only his off the field life can calm down he could achieve superstar status.

I think alot of people were simply frustrated with Dez. Hell I remember as a rookie he was arguably the most loved player on this forum, because while the whole team had caved in, and Romo was done with the injury, he was the one guy showing some heart out there. Now they're seeing his talent and productivity on full display

Yep, this offseason will be interesting. I have faith in him to keep it clean. He is racking up touchdowns these last few weeks. Dez definitely has the ability to be top 5 in the league.
 
Third year in for a 24 year-old player....he is on course. People's expectations were beyond ridiculous for the kid.
 
Romo to Bryant, last 4 games
29 of 37 78.4% 475 yds 12.8 ypa 6 td 0 int 158.3

That's a perfect rating.

I'm stealing that stat
 
Jimmy Robinson was paid alot of money to help this kid reach his potential and it seems to be starting to pay off.
