I honestly don't remember Norman in either Commander game...

He's saying what a lot of us fans have said (just way more extreme) Dez has been on the decline for a few years. His play style is leading to injuries. His career is by no means over and he could definitely have some more very productive seasons in him.... I just believe drafting his replacement sooner rather then later would be prudent.

I think it's been the injuries with Dez more than anything that's led to this view of him. He had his best average per catch last year at 15.8 yards and would have topped 1,000 yards if not for injury. His number of receptions would not have matched up to his best years, though, even if he had been completely healthy.

His missed time in 2015 and 2016 could be indicative that he won't be able to stay healthy for 16 games for the rest of his career, but it would be nice for that to happen this year so he could show if there is any real decline in his play or if it is only a product of his missed time/health.

There's no specific aspect to his game that pops? He's bland?

He doesn't "wow" you. For me, he don't. For other guys, he probably will do the worst to them because he'll bully them. But you can't bully a bully. You know what I'm saying? That's why his game doesn't resonate to me.

So he comes across as a "fake tough guy?"

That's what I mean. That's his game: to bully. But how can you bully a bully?

You're the real bully out there.

If anything, it's the other way around. I don't bully people. I have conversations with people.
Bryant is a bully. Norman said so.
Norman is a bully. Norman said so.
Bryant bullies Norman. Norman said so.
Norman's not bullied by Bryant. Norman said so.
Bullies don't talk to people. Norman said so.
Norman talks to people. Norman said so.
Norman isn't a bully. Norman said so.

Norman's nuts. I said so.

Norman is a chump and a clown. He's got so much diarrhea constantly spewing out of his mouth he doesn't even remember what he said in the sentence before. "You can't bully a bully" "I don't bully people".

Reminds of Rick James talking about Charlie Murphy's couch on the Chappelle show.

Norman gets the best of Dez. Sorry guys. Dez can be taken out of games. The first game Dallas had to switch Dez to the other side of the field and slot to get him away from Norman. JN was eating his lunch.

Dez Bryant v. JN
W12, 2015: 5 tgts, 1 catch, 6 yards, 0 TD
W2, 2016: 2 tgts, 0 catches
W12, 2016: 5 tgts, 3 catches, 32 yards, 0 TD

12 targets = 4 catches 38 yards

LOL, Dez was talking trash about Norman after that game, "Tell Washington to get their money back".
i really hope this season dez just goes lights out on him. i remember a game last year norman talked hella smack against dez and then after dez had a good game on him norman was crying about how dez said he wanted to fight him and norman isnt about that. dudes the worst.

I remember him in the first game. He was a great player for Dallas when he kept grabbing the facemask and giving Dallas a fresh new set of downs. Probably the best player other than Dak for Dallas that game.
