The only thing classic is this never ending agenda of yours to twist and spin everything I say. I challenge you to provide a quote from early this season that contradicts what I'm saying now about Dez. What I'm saying about Dez today is the same tune I was singing about him from week one and you won't find anything that disputes that.
I said from week one his numbers will decline with Dak at QB because he's not the risky gunslinger Romo is. Beasley had 8 catches in the opener so it was clear then that he was going to take catches away from Dez because he's a chain mover who gets open. Everything we're seeing now, I said we would at the start of the season. I had a lot of things already figured out including the Dak/Romo situation.
The long ball Dez caught Thursday night was because he was open. The TD he caught would have likely been a fade/contested ball in the endzone if Romo were in there but with Dak, he threw the ball out in the flat to an open Dez (who almost dropped it) and allowed him to make a move and get into the endzone.
I mentioned Dez only caught 4 passes for 84 yards and one TD because you think because he's played better the last few games, he's back to elite status and he's not. You'll have a tough time finding any talking head/expert who has Dez amongst their top 5 receivers because his production isn't what it used to be. To be considered "elite" a receiver has to be at the very least top 5. Now that his role is different with a different style QB his yards, catches and TD's will never be what they were with Romo. He'll still have some big games but not with the frequency he did with Romo who always looks for the big play. You have such a ridiculous agenda you claimed I called Dak a bust after week one. LOL Despite slamming you with a post I made immediately after the opener defending Dak against those who said he didn't play well, you continued the lie. Here's another post that's sure to double you over that I submitted TWO DAYS BEFORE the season opener that not only proves I was on the Dak bandwagon during preseason but I predicted what was likely to happen between him and Romo. I knew before the regular season it was Dak's job to lose...read it and weep! LOL

Some of us have been saying that ever since Romo went down based on his repeated injuries and the performance of Dak in preseason. I believe it's Dak's job to lose, if he plays anything like we've seen in preseason during the regular season Romo will remain on the sidelines regardless if he's healthy and ready to play. I don't see Romo ever getting his job back if Dak has a solid 2016 season especially if he leads the Cowboys to the playoffs. Romo can't withstand a good hit anymore, it's hard going forward with an aging, injury prone QB who can't be counted on to stay on the field when you have a promising rookie QB who's playing well.
The only way Romo sees the field again is if Dak and the team struggle or Dak gets injured and Romo is healthy and ready to play. Romo's future will all depend on Dak's performance this season. The odds favor Romo seeing the field again because he can still play at a high level but if Dak plays solid he's not going to be pulled.
