Jerry Jones not ready to address Dez's future

[Verdict]

maybe dez wants out and thinks if he causes enough trouble he will get his way if I was his age playing for the cowboys I would be looking for a way out

Dez isn't that bright.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

1 drop, 1 fumble nearly consecutively and a nothing.
Time to go somewhere else.

Or you can continue to force it...

So they stopped forcing him the bank because he fumbled?

And the drop that lead to the int was a badly thrown ball that happened on a broken play.

This idea we forced him the ball is silly and incorrect.

We probably deserve to lose Dez. Just like we deserve whatever Dak is for forcing Romo out.

I watched the game. I saw no forcing. Please provide an example so I can have an idea of what you guys consider forcing. Right now it just appears you think it is throwing to wide open receivers.

The game was yesterday and it seems to have your really irked, so providing an example to support your argument should be easy.

If you're incapable, then you're just lying.

Dez is the 1st read per play design on the majority of passing plays but is rarely open. Romo confirmed this concept.

His number of targets is top 10 in the league and I think it was #1 at one point this season.

Yeah because Dez is so awesome he deserves better than the Cowboys!!!

Romo still threw the ball open to Dez even if he was covered like a blanket. Seems like Dak needs to see his WRs open before he makes the attempt.

In my opinion, any attempt to give Dez the ball after his back breaking fumble was "forcing" the ball to him. I wouldn't have even looked his way after that.

So...no example?

Let's drop the "targets" nonsense please.

Which play yesterday...just one...did they force the ball to Dez?

Dez can be the worst WR ever. That still doesn't mean they are forcing it to him when he is wide open.

 

[FLCowboyFan]

Dez’s drops yesterday and fumble are totally on him. However he will never reach his full potential nor will any WR with a mobile version of Trent Dilfer at QB.

Dez and Dak just are not a good match. Dez gets frustrated early by not getting the ball and then lets it affect him the rest of the game.

That is called immaturity! Can you imagine acting like that at work?

 

[black label]

Dez is a baby and you cant fix baby.

 

[Didache]

He was a top 10 qb last year with guys that weren't always open. Obviously there's something to work with there. A better coach can make him a better qb

Dez has played 8 years with Dallas. He’s done. Used up. Just like Miles Austin, who was great in 3 out of his 8 years with Dallas. For Dez the good years are behind him.

He may think that, but how long does he think a WR lasts in the NFL? Dez has played 8 seasons now.

Jason made a comment at his presser that Dez has to be the parent and to wait his turn. I couldn't hear the question and that just struck me as odd.

 

[dallasfan4lizife]

He is a horrible route runner.

His effort has been awful since his contract.

He has the highest drop rate in the NFL.

He’s not explosive anymore.

His football IQ has always been bottom tier. Ex: it took him 3 seasons to learn the playbook.

He still doesn’t know defensive schemes.

He’s regularly late/absent to meetings.

He’s a distraction on the sidelines. Temper tantrums.

But that is not Bryant's fault! [/Dez Apologist]

It’s called “damned by faint praise”. He’s finished with Dallas. Or they’re through with him. Dak threw him under the bus too.

 

[unionjack8]

To me it's not about forcing it to dez, it's dez himself.
Sulking
Dropping easy balls
Less athleticism after injuries
Coupled with a huge cap hit it just doesn't fit for me any more.
He's been dynamic for us but now he's a distraction.

Love Dez. Love his passion. Love his heart. The man loves the Cowboys. Absolutely loves this team. It’s a shame he was wasted as were so many. I see teams cater to their playmakers abilities. How come Dallas never has done so?

 

[TheSkaven]

Anybody catch this?

“I think I have to throw him a better ball," Prescott said. "Just put it right there on his face mask and don’t give him a chance to drop it, I guess.”

Translation: "I hit the guy in the hands and he still drops the ball."

What? Throw jump balls every passing play?

Yes. Most of us caught it. But Dez didn't.
