Name the player

[ryanbabs]

It's not ignorance, his numbers speak for themselves. He isn't targeted very often, mainly, because his production has been sub par this year when he is.

Didn't he like miss some games or something?


C'mon. He did have a bad game but so did the whole offense. Did you see him play against the Steelers, Ravens, and Vikings (to name a few)?

 

[Future]

Dez has 57 fewer yards and 2 more touchdowns than DeAndre Hopkins...on 22 fewer targets.


Guess Hopkins sucks too.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

The guy would run through a brick wall without a helmet to be on the field, choose another "reason" to justify your hate.

Elliott 28 of 36 322 yd 1 td 0 int 113.2

So the guys that typically run deeper patterns he struggles to connect with. Imagine that.

This is a board on the internet with lots of people, why cant everyone have the same opinion as me, period. Give it a break, its the OPs opinion, its his to express.

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

If you don't like Dez, I feel mostly bad for you and I can't imagine what gets you excited about the team as a whole.

I guess other than complaining about one of the offensive drivers of our 11-2 team.

Nothing gets him excited until he finds something to ***** about. Because that's what he does.

What's funny is that there is no opinion expressed. I posted facts.

So what has changed since he was a pro bowl receiver?

A lot of things have changed. He got paid, has had injuries and we have a new QB who he's been struggling to get on the same page with. Dak isn't going to take as many chances to Dez as Romo did, he's not a gunslinger. Dez continues to have issues keeping his head in the game and maintaining his focus. He's probably not thrilled with the way his role has changed since Dak became the QB. He's not getting as many fade opportunities in the endzone or as many jump ball opportunities.

He's not being targeted as often because he continues to have trouble separating. He's not been as involved and he's run some pretty lazy routes that had Garrett jump on him during one game. Last week was the worst performance of his career which may have caused Dak to lose some confidence in him. The chemistry has been lacking between him and Dak. It's going to take time but Dez has to keep his head in the game and make the most of every opportunity he's given.

true i should have said its just facts, not his opinion or what anyone might think is your opiinon. Sorry about that.

 

[drawandstrike]

That would be the incredibly elite receiver, Dez Bryant.

Dez goes as Romo goes. Just like Miles Austin, Laurent Robinson, Patrick Crayton, Terrance Williams........

Idiots will never get this, yes.

C'mon. He did have a bad game but so did the whole offense. Did you see him play against the Steelers, Ravens, and Vikings (to name a few)?

That 4 game stretch before the Giants game when he had 21 catches for 352 yards & 4 TD's vs the Steelers, Ravens, Commanders & Vikings has already been flushed down the memory hole.

<15 yards: 26 of 50 311 yd 4 td 1 int 89.7
15+ yards: 12 of 30 333 yd 2 td 1 int 90.0

Williams
<15 yards: Williams 26 of 33 257 yd 1 td 0 int 109.2
15+ yards: Williams 8 of 15 213 yd 2 td 0 int 138.2

Butler
<15 yards: 10 of 19 94 yd 1 td 1 int 62.2
15+ yards 3 of 9 80 yd 1 td 0 int 79.4

Witten
<15 yards: 53 of 73 504 yd 1 td 1 int 90.2
15+ yards: 3 of 7 75 yd 1 td 0 int 122.0

Beasley
<15 yards: 61 of 80 640 yd 5 td 0 int 119.8
15+ yards: 3 of 4 71 yd 0 td 0 int 116.7

So, what it looks like is Dak needs to work on his under 15 yd targets. He is worse on them to every receiver but one.

[Verdict]

That definitely happened.

Some posters want to blatantly ignore facts about a player and prefer to be like an ostrich and stick their head in the sand about non-flattering facts about their pet cats.

Hey stop using facts and common sense to support your argument. Dez is the greatest WR ever and Dak is sorry! Bring back Tony now!!!
