Dez is a bigger problem than Dak

1st off. Dak is scared to throw it deeper than 10 yards because his arm is week and doesn't trust it to get there. When it gets there, it could be anywhere in the WRs vicinity, usually not.

More bad than good with Crayton.

Robinson's career ended shortly after he departed because he sustained a terrible concussion, not because he couldn't play without Romo.

Do you just make things up?

The guy played four years before Dallas and two years he got injured and the other two, he didn’t even break over 450 yards playing the same amount as in Dallas, where he doubled his production. He had 11 TDs with Romo and never broke 2 befirecor after that. The year he played after Romo he was back to his normal pace.

Not really, those WRs can run routes and create separation. Dez can't, it's stupid to be only be able to go up for 50/50 balls. No offense had ever been designed to do that nor has a WR been paid so much to only do that.

He is better than ALL the WRs in this team going over the middle basically.

This offense is predicated on go routes and both Dez and TWill, the latter as a second WR, were top 2 in go routes in Romo’s last full season. And Escobar was among the top tight ends in running them too. And Dallas was bottom four in pass attempts.

It has nothing to do with Dez, it has to do with the fact this offense is meant to challenge deep.

Patrick Crayton was a bum. He’s the reason the cowboys didn’t beat the Giants in the 2007 playoffs.

I will never forgive him for quitting on a route that should have been the go ahead TD.

Romo was politely saying that repeatedly today and you know it had to drive him crazy. It's one thing when Bledsoe saw Brady play after him but Romo has to sit there knowing Noodlearm Mcbadread took his place.

Where the heck did this Dak’s arm is weak stuff come from?

You want to call out his accuracy, that’s fine. It’s deserved because it’s not good right now.

But his arm is not weak. There are plenty of things about his game that are legitimate things to criticize. Arm strength isn’t one of them.

And Romo wanted to play.. and they knew Dak wouldn’t beat him in open competition. How in the world do you start the QB that isn’t better in any respect?

If I was Jerry and it was the coaches advised me that Dak should start, he should fire them all right now..

It's certainly not a big arm and I struggle to call his arm average - he throws far too many ducks.

Dude is trash. Glad people are coming around, but it's ridiculous it needs to pretty much be smashed in their face for them to admit it. Signs were there even last year, no one wanted to listen.

Dak and Dez are both problems.

We don’t have a single reliable receiver, and even if we did, Dak would be too skittish to throw it to him

Uh huh.

Yes, the signs were there when he led us to a 12-4 record and won Rookie of the Year and put up record numbers along the way.

Look, he’s sucking right now. Absolutely. But don’t be so obtuse to claim that’s he’s sucked all along. Numbers prove that you are wrong, and your ‘signs were there all along’ BS is little more than your bias reinforcing itself

People accuse Dak of not being accurate but that's not always the case. Many times it's Dez not running his route right and being out of position when the ball gets to him. It's a shame he gets paid as the top WR because he is a huge problem with the passing game. The coaching staff allowing Dez to constantly be such a pathetic route runner deserve part of the blame too.

Dez is done here. He is WAY overpaid as is Witten at this point in his career. Massive changes all around are necessary. If they don't happen, ...... more of the same. This isn't rocket surgery.

Just listen to Romo, it is obvious that he feels Dak is the problem regarding Dez. He repeatedly said that Dak hasn't figured out how to use Dez.

The funny thing is that people say we aren't effective when we "force" it to Dez. The problem is when we don't look for Dez we have NOBODY that steps up.

Part of that is because can only run about 3 routes according to many current and ex players.

The scheme does not help.

Everyone on the team only runs a few routes. Dez, Beasley or Witten.

Defenders have been saying, literally for years, that our offense is predictable.

But don't let objectivity get in the way of your Anti-Dez Crusade.
