Jerrah - We haven't had a 1 WR in years

[Stash]

How is saying the team has failed to do it's job to find a #1 receiver an excuse?

Where do he in fact say that? Nice inference on your part from the looks of it.

And it ignores the fact that under this quarterback, suddenly, inexplicably all the receivers are terrible.

Are you going to try to ignore that fact or try to pass it off as some mere coincidence?

 

[Stash]

Good point. I would of been less upset if we tried to go after Robinson, but the Watkins deal is still bonkers to me.

And now we know exactly where "bonkers" lives.

While he might have vision in business, he has none when it comes to being a GM. It's always the next bandaid on a gaping wound for this guy.

 

[MikeT22]

It shouldn't be a surprise since Dez and Antonio Bryant are the only two WR's we've drafted in the first 2 rounds in nearly 25 years.

A couple years ago we needed to upgrade the #2 WR position and now we don't have a #1 or #2 receiver or starting caliber TE. Throw that in with no legit starting QB, an 8th year below average HC who never should've been hired and an oil man pretending to be GM and it should be no surprise we're where we are at.

 

[erod]

Wow!!! Stop it with the Super Romo BS. Dez came out of college with number one WR potential. Before he caught a ball from Romo.
But let’s put a real spin on it. TO and Witten made Romo look more like a franchise quarterback than he really was. And that’s a fact.

Ah, yes, this from you.

In college, Dez had to line up near the coaches sideline so they could tell him what route to run. Romo made chicken salad with this chicken crap.

 

[WillieBeamen]

2014 was the last time Bryant was a #1 WR.

Wrong



Know what youre talking about

Most first round receivers bust like grapes.

What and where would Romo be without TO? I’m sure you’d conveniently forget TO was the one who lobbied for Romo to replace Bledsoe. TO’s RAC helped Romo’s numbers look much better.

Where did he in fact say what? I didn't claim he said anything other than what he said, and I'm not the one reading more into the words than they indicate. His words, as stated, were an observation and his opinion. Had he laid the blame for not having a #1 receiver on someone else, or claimed that he and the team had nothing to do with not having a #1 WR, that would have been an excuse. Now, you tell me where he did that.

As for it ignoring that the QB hasn't been good, maybe it does, but that doesn't somehow make his words an excuse. It just means he isn't realistic.

No. Dez’s Physicality and strength to break tackles made chicken salad. You Romo rooters forget that many of Romo’s great passes were broken tackles on WRs that went for huge gains. TO,Witten, Austin, Dez, etc all made plays AFTER catching Romo’s passes. Ain’t like Romo was Ken Stabler our there dropping bombs all day.. You guys need to stop lying about this bs.

Romo turned Laurent Robinson into a multimillionaire elsewhere. Did nothing thereafter.

Romo turned Miles Austin into a multimillionaire elsewhere. Did nothing thereafter.

Romo turned Patrick Crayton into a multimillionaire elsewhere. Did nothing thereafter.

Romo turned Sam Hurd into a multimillionaire elsewhere. Did nothing thereafter.

Romo turned Dez into a multi-multi-multi millionaire here. Did nothing when Dak took over.

And if you think Parcells gave two craps about what TO thought, you're even less lucid than we all thought.

 

[atlantacowboy]

The fact Jerry thinks that is the main problem on offense is mind-boggling but not surprising.

 

[Stash]

He never said that neither he nor the team "failed to find a #1 receiver", did he? No, that's your excusemaker alarm kicking in again.

Now back to the revelant point. Why is it that all receivers get worse here under this scheme and quarterback?

Source - Todd Archer on

Jerry believes he has great WR's (he very happy with them) and a HOF caliber QB and a HOF coach, why can not everyone else see this.

 

[Legend]

Wrong



Know what youre talking about

So how has Dez been a true #1 WR with these numbers? Those are #2 WR numbers.
2015 - 401 receiving yards (9 games)
2016 - 796 receiving yards (13 games)
2017 - 838 receiving yards

Dez was also getting punked by Jenkins (NY) and Norman (Washington) on the football field.

LMAO. You placed Robinson on here twice to make the list longer huh?
Ok. I’ll play along. Robinson and Crayton I’ll give you. But Austin didn’t perform with Romo after suffering a string of hamstring injuries that ruined him.
Dez was a first round draft pick who ain’t been the same since 2015 when he broke his foot. Romo ain’t been the same sine 2015 either because he’s just too brittle. Sam Hurd was never anything special and it’s TO who caused him and Crayton to shine because he demanded extra attention. I mean, Romo came aboard passing to not one but 2 Hall of Famers In TO and Witten. So I guess you’ll credit Romo with their greatness as well huh?

Please stop the BS

 

[LocimusPrime]

Romo made Dez,Austin and Robinson millionaires.

Dak makes receivers unemployed

 

[Stash]

Romo made Dez,Austin and Robinson millionaires.

That's the sad, sad truth. Summed up very well.

 

[funkytown]

Elite QB's turn marginal receivers into #1's. See Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, etc.

Romo had that quality as well. Dak does not. That's the story here.

Look at the super bowl winners from the last 10 or 20 years. How many of those teams had elite true #1 receivers? Not many. Its not necessary with elite QBs. But its necessary with a QB like Dak.

This team truly over estimated the ability of Dak. He's an average at best QB who needs playmakers around him. He is not Tom Brady or Peyton Manning who can turn average receivers into #1's.

 

[WillieBeamen]

So how has Dez been a true #1 WR with these numbers? Those are #2 WR numbers.
2015 - 401 receiving yards (9 games)
2016 - 796 receiving yards (13 games)
2017 - 838 receiving yards

Predictable



Why dont you look at the last 8 games (incl GB and not the finale vs PHI) and compare his stats to other #1s around the league.

Dez
43 catches
646 yrds
8 Tds
65 catch %

Julio
49 catches
646 yards
3 TDs
68 catch %

Dez was more productive than Julio Jones at the end of 2016. Yes he started off slow (he had the injury and little chemistry with a rookie QB).

 

[DFWJC]

He has a point.
Then again, there are only a few true #1s out there
Dallas has a roster full of low 2s, 3s or 4s.
Dez, even now, is better than any of them.
