Video: In honor and appreciation of Dez

[erod]

No Cowboy ever caught it in traffic like Dez. While I support the decision given the current climate, I recognize what truly made Dez special here. This is a fun watch.

There is no doubt about it, the guy was a special talent.

People forget that Dez's strengths far out wayed his weaknesses, in my opinion

 

[MojaveJT]

Those passes from Romo to Dez were pure butter. If Dak could have thrown more passes like that to Dez, maybe his playmaking abilities and stats wouldn’t have dropped off so much.


PS. I love Romo, Dez, and Dak before people start bashing.

 

[Reality]

No matter your opinion on Dez today, there's no denying he was a really good player for the Cowboys. He was fun and amazing to watch many times throughout his years here.

If he hooks up with Rodgers, Brees, or Brady (shudder), he could still have more brilliance to come.

They did in the right situation. Heaven forbid of Rodgers gets his hands on him. That would be hard to stop.

Watching this, two things come to my mind.

1. Dez used to have some wheels. Watching him run after the catch, he was so much faster before the injuries.
2. It pisses me off that these two special player's talent was wasted by playing for a HC in training. They would have played in and won more playoff games had they played for a competent HC and GM.

Yep.. if Dez hooks up with any prolific passing QB and good team his chances of raising the Lombardi will probably be before us again.

Dez has the ability in the right situation if he can remain healthy to be in the Hall some day.

 

[The Natural]

It will be a long time before a comparable talent comes through here. If you're past the half century mark I hope you enjoyed it because you probably wont see it again.

 

[Maxmadden]

Nice Romo clip.

I had forgot that Dez had some speed back in the day. Good receiver just not the fairy tale ending.

 

[SuspectCorner]

I will a!ways love Dez Bryant. He wasn't the biggest receiver to have played the game but NOBODY ever fought more fiercely for that extra bit of real estate than Dez. It was obvious from his first plays as a rookie that Dez absolutely HATED even the idea that he would be tackled short of the end zone - much less the sticks. Just a BALLER in every sense of the word.

As Mr. Spock often said, 'Be well and prosper.' All blessings upon you 88.

 

[CapnB]

Dez did things in a cowboys uniform that I had never seen in my 40+ years of watching Cowboys football. He was a unique, gifted, player.

Notice one common trend in all of those? Tony throwing the ball. A receiver needs a QB who knows their strengths. Amazing how dez all of a sudden disappeared with Dak under center

 

[sunalsorises]

Dez is special. Just put him on destroy mode and watch him operate. That being said, Romo fed him some nice passes. Dez was definitely drafted then extended for Romo.

 

[rags747]

Des showed some wheels in that vid and Romo what can I say...I just love the guy as a QB. A freaking crying shame we did not get a ring with that dude.

Tony knew exactly how to throw to Dez.

Dez can go up like nobody for those throws.

 

[CWR]

Geez Romo was a damn gun slinger back there and Dez was a man among boys. As awesome as it is to watch that its also heart breaking. Both these guys left before I was ready. I understood in both cases but man its still tough.

 

[Verdict]

No matter your opinion on Dez today, there's no denying he was a really good player for the Cowboys. He was fun and amazing to watch many times throughout his years here.

Yes. He was a very good player for us for multiple years. He was never top 5 or top 10 but he was good around the goal line for a period with Romo.
