I like Dez, some people here don't. Flip it.
It's not that I don't "like" Dez, it's that I think he underachieves a lot....too many games he's just invisable in games when he has plenty of target passes and produces very little.

Some games he's a Bentley, other games he's a Yugo, but he's paid to atleast be a Lexus on a more consistent basis.

Nobody is rooting for individual achievement over team victories. I am certain that when Dez catches touchdowns, the Cowboys have a winning record so it is a positive correlation.

Not really. His record means nothing when we have several losses over the past two years specifically because Dez sucks and we seem hell bent on forcing him the ball.

It's an artificial record because of the number of targets thrown his way. It's meaningless.

I understand the frustration. Dak has to get him the ball, he's been trying to get to him, he needs to let the game dictate the situation and not force the issue. Not sure if it's Dak or the staff.

And he caught the vast majority of those touchdowns playing at an elite level with Romo catching well over 60 percent of his targets.

He’s going to go down as an all time great Cowboy, get over it.

I'm not sure when the hate for Dez came. I mean on one hand I get it. He hasn't played as well as we'd like. But neither has Witten. Yet, Witten is far more respected around these parts than Dez. What Dez accomplished.....not a easy feat.

Not by me. I am ready for both of them to go.

You realize Julio Jones, argued as one of the consensus top 2 WRs in Football, has just one fewer target than Dez and 28 fewer TDs right?

My point being, Dez can only control what he can control, less than 1/3 of the entire phase of the game.

And he’s done that better than any WR since he’s entered the league in terms of points directly on the board. Catches and yards are nice but you can go 99 and not come away with points. Dez guarantees points better than anyone not named Gronk.

It’s rooted in stupidity.

Just look at the most vocal haters; not exactly the crème de la crème of posters.

I have mixed emotions with Dez record catching TD. Bullet Bob was one of my first fav players with the Cowboys as a kid. He truly changed the game. I would have rather someone like Witten have broken it. But it’s like many of the passing records being broken in a pass happy era. Not as meaningful.

Makes little sense. It's based on the fact that his best days are behind him, and it's magnified by the fact that he's too expensive. But it makes little sense to not appreciate the player for reasons like that.

However you look at it, it's a boatload of touchdowns.
