[DejectedFan1996]

Can someone explain what the actual harm is in bringing Dez back for a tryout?

WWBD? AKA...”What would Belechick do?” Not sign Dez Bryant.

because the #DezHaters will meltdown.

DEZ is back and ready to roll.

Dez isn't back unless we ya know... actually sign him. So curb your enthusiasm for the room temperature IQ dumb dumb until he's actually on the team.

 

[G2]

Weakness by whom?

You?

I noticed that Witten is not being asked back.

Lee wants to go elsewhere..the Giants?

Maybe they can both get hired there.

Garrett can welcome them both.

That clears the way for Dez to return.

Hmmm...

So who's spot does he play?

This is EXACTLY the reason why this team has been the way it has been since Jimmy left. This should be MM's decision, not Jerry's. Once more, Jerry is undermining his HC. If Jerry forces Dez on MM there will no question that things area going to be status quo in the organization.

For the record, I have no problem with Dez getting a try-out as long as MM feels he deserves one and Jerry respects MM's decision either way...

exactly, jerry should leave personnel decisions to mike. But we can hope mike at least is consulted
on moves like this.

Good, bring him back now that we have a real coach. Dez wasn't the problem the Coaching staff was.

Apparently the NFL disagrees, given how little interest there has been in Dez since Dallas cut him. Now he's practically begging for a job.

 

[Jake]

I wonder if he'll just foist Dez on MM like he did TO on Parcels. I fear we are back in puppet territory.

I have no idea why anyone thinks Jerry is going to suddenly change who he is at age 77.

But MM has.....moving on.

No part of my post was supposed to be funny. Dez WAS great 6 or 7 years ago, he never will again be great. No team with any ambition to succeed should be looking in his direction.

I take Dez as soon as yesterday.

Half you guys don't remember football...

While we're at it let's bring back every washed up player that had highlights nearly a decade ago. Perfect logic isn't it?

 

[Blake]

The other half of YOU cling to the past like it's still relevant in the present.

 

[Dracula]

See McCarthy, this is why nobody wants to coach in Jerryland. Hey, can we rethink Manziel, Witten, and Sean Lee. Jerry, for lord's sake, please just shut up and walk away, from the camera, just once.

The problem is, yesterday to Dez was over 2 years ago. People are acting like Dez just became a FA and was a productive player for the last 2 seasons. His production was dropping off big time before he was released and his achilles injury came after that. Add to that that he's also going on 3 years older.

Like l said, l have no problem with a tryout as long as it's MM's decision and not forced on him.

 

[Dracula]

I'm suprised, that Jones waited this long to butt in.

Guess the other half don't remember how incompetent he'd become his last year here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you're overstating a bit here. Dez had a hard time getting on the same page with Dak, that much is documented. Many of the same people who claim Dak is inaccurate are quick to turn around and say it's the receiver's fault when things don't click depending on the narrative they're trying to advance. Dez's production dropped primarily due to three factors.1) He got hurt, 2) He was learning how to work with a young QB and 3) the team shifted the focus of the offense away from him. If we assume #1 is no longer an issue and neither should #2 since Dak is better now than he was 2-3 years ago all that's left is #3. If the team is not going to demand that he be a #1 (and not pay him like one) then playing (and paying ) him as a #3 (or a #4) would be a no brainer. If nothing else he would be an instant upgrade at punt return than anything we've had since we stopped letting him do it.
