Where did I say he can't run anymore? I said he can't run the way he used to.

Lol, smh.

Quite possibly the dumbest thing I've read on the Internet.

"I didn't say I've done drugs before, I'm jus' sayin I don't do them anymore!"

SMH.

Cowboys fans are the worst fans in the league. You guys are so fickle. You will turn on anybody at the slightest adversity.

Haven't you been benched enough? Shouldn't you be in class?

Can someone please helpout and post 40 times for our wide receivers.

I also believe Dez is our least quick receiver. Not sure how to back that up with stats...maybe the cone drill numbers?

Disclaimer: I like the guy, I like the guy! Relax.

He's plenty fast and really quick for his size and bulk. Calm down, people. He's been hurt and playing with subpar QBs who don't have enough confidence or ability to give him chances on the outside. He's still one of the best 5-8 WRs in the league. He doesn't win by creating a lot of separation, he wins by catching the ball in traffic and being elusive after the catch.

Classic material.

Show me the post where I said he can't run anymore? :thumbup: Saying he can't run the way he used to isn't saying he can't run anymore. Maybe it does in your world but not mine.

Does it matter?, Witten very likely couldnt flip over if he lands on his back and he gets 12 targets

When you've won 5 championships the bar is set high. You said "you guys" so who's your team? Why a Dez Bryant jersey as an avatar if you're not a Cowboys fan?

It is highly unlikely that Dez is slower than Kelvin Benjamin or Larry Fitzgerald. Both of whom had more targets and more catches than Dez did.

Dez needs to decide to become a exact route runner........speed or no speed............he still needs to decide he wants to run precise routes.

Dez has only had one 100 yard game in his last 11 starts.

Better route runners and run more fluidly than Dez. Dez runs angry almost a stomping motion.

Dez had elite status after the 2014 season practically everyone had him in their top 5 receivers but not anymore. He's going to have a difficult time putting up a 1000 yards this season. Imagine Antonio Brown came out in the same draft with Dez as a 5th round pick.

Yeah Dez is overrated at this point.

People will blame last year's injury, but he probably just got fat. He is a moron.

I would prefer Hardy and TO on my team over him. Dez considers Mo a genius for scoring 4 on his wonderlic.

Leave Romo out of this. :)

Can we find no fault with an offensive scheme that cannot find a way to get Dez involved even though the Giants were doubling him on every snap? Or is it just too easy to look at Bryant- easily one of the five most gifted athletes playing this game today- and say he can't run anymore and he's washed up?

I'm not absolving Bryant of all the blame. He disappears too much for my liking too. But I get a feeling this is a gut reaction to one bad game. If Dez goes off for 150 yards on eight catches next week, and everybody in the NFL knows that can happen, what will be said?

Good thing you added that disclaimer. Say something about Dez and you got people wanting to ban you and come after your first born. Lol, and I am just kidding, relax.

Disclaimer: I like Dez also, I love Dez, I'd take a bullet for Dez. I just didn't see the harm in opening a hypothetical discussion. Relax

He doesn't have the burst off the line of scrimmage he once had and can't get out of his breaks as quick, it was very noticeable during Sundays game.
He got his big payday, now he is just having fun.
I said we might never get 2014 dez back, some guys get paid and then just relax.
