People that say Dez isn't playing to his talent level, well he can only play as well as the ball-thrower.

Never could understand the people who suggested "moving on from him" this offseason. There is NO ONE on this team that offers what he does. That deep throw Dak made to Williams looked like a "clown show". First of all...Williams gets bodied out of bounds on the route...then he make a futile attempt for the ball. Dez is the only player on this team that Dak can take a "chance" with. The "throw it up and see if the WR can make a play"...will come in handy before it is all said and done this season.

I still don't think he's performing even close to his talent level, but he's definitely been much better the last few weeks and has been a big part of our wins.

The guy got 6 targets. And is only averaging about 8 over the last 4. He's turned those 8 targets a game into 88 yards and a TD on average.

Dez has been a good soldier because he's been under-fed for his talent level. And Dak still struggles to see the field and deliver fast timely and accurate balls on occasion.

What is most encouraging is that Dez is getting open running crisp routes. Last week he embarrassed Norman on a double move and Dak never saw him. This week he smoked Harrison on a different double move for a big play that led to our first touchdown. He of course caught our 2nd touchdown. In a game we only scored 17 points Dez had his hands all over the game...in again...only 6 targets.

@xwalker has to be furious at Dez's route running, play-making and maturity. His post game interview was a joy to watch. Where has @xwalker been over the last month on Dez?

I am sure @xwalker will be ready to post the next time Dez drops a ball (probably has the post and paragraph saved on a word document ready to go).

All in all there isn't a team or fanbase in the NFL who doesn't want a Dez Bryant on their team...except for a few stragglers here on the zone.

Yeah, I think he's bought into Dak and in Dak's world, you keep quiet, play for the team, and you will get your glory. And as of lately, he's getting the glory. He really is the best receiver on this team, hands down.

The only issue I have here...is that Dez never complained about his touches or lack thereof. Of Dak's accuracy or lack thereof. He's gotten a bum wrap.

I do remember when @xwalker tried to argue, earnestly, that Cole was a better receiver than Dez.

I'm really happy to see him and dak on the same page and to be linking up with regularity. He's not putting up any crazy numbers, but he's playing consistent, coming up big when necessary, scoring regularly and providing that lethal presence that is needed.

Very happy

Proof, like you told me yesterday, 10,000 likes for you.

Dez detractors have tuck-tailed and ran away. GOOD

Yeah the Negative Dez chatter has really quieted, and never should have been considering he had injuries, and no QB, and then a new QB and then another injury....It was all silly talk.

No, it was legitimate talk. He doesn't need to be arguing with Josh Norman or Skip Bayless. He needs to concentrate on the team and winning. PERIOD.

And he acknowledged as much by apologizing for the Josh Norman incident. Dez is basically saying he can't be involved in silly issues and detract from the team's ultimate goal.

I'm glad he understand this.

I'm not really sure what more he can do. He's finally maximizing his opportunities on a consistent basis.

Dak threw a total of 18 passes last night. Dez caught 1/3 of Dak's completions and was responsible for 60% of the team's receiving yards.

He is playing within the scheme of the offense, and I love it.

I found something he said last night interesting. He was on the set of NFL Network and said something to the effect of following the lead of Dak and Zeke and getting in line. I was trying to Google the postgame interview but nfl.com doesn't have the video up. I'd like to listen to Dez's comment again for the actual words he spoke.

I looked for it, but it may not be posted yet, but I found this, Tyke.
