Our highest paid players are not very good

[lostar2009]

He's the best we got....but I understand.....Switzer is a star waiting.....C'mon Man!

None of them are. They all should be contributing to a bigger picture. But these guys been on and off like anything I have seen.

Can't compare the Dez back then to the Dez today. Different players. Dez back then, when healthy, was awesome.

Thanks to Romo's back-shoulder throws, yes he was.

Again, the Dez back then was a better athlete, better route runner. No comparision of the Dez today,. Dez today can barely jump.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Oscan has really gotten bad.

Twill, hands of stone and a #3 WR.

Neither of those are high paid.

 

[Jake]

Twill is the least of our problems. That Witten 12.2 million cap hit is painful. Dez Bryant's 17 million is quite frankly ridiculous for his projected output. TCraw at 10 million.

25% of our cap is on Dez, Witten, and Crawford?

 

[Aven8]

No mention of Oscan?? Puzzling.....he can't cover anymore. Lewis is our best DB now.

 

[LocimusPrime]

Dez is overrated and overpaid but they'd be screwed without him. He at least still draws one of the other team's top guys. He is probably somewhere around the 20-25th best WR in the league, so a crappy #1.

That's a reasonable assessment

Exactly. Romo had the benefit of a better, faster, quicker Dez than Dak has.

I would take a healthy Dez back then, over today a heatlhy Giants OBJ.

Yep. Remember punt returns?? Wasn't the foot the same thing that killed the dude from NC #88, for the Gents??

Yes sir. I feel bad. I think that dez isn't used right and that his numbers could be better if the motioned him more and he ran more slants ect.

So I believe a percentage of his production issues can be attributed to the offensive scheme. Although people could counter that the scheme was pretty much the same with Tony but yet his numbers where better. But then I'd have to say that maybe it was preinjury? But then they would say....well how long is it gonna take him to get back to where he was 3years?

Alas. Such a lose lose situation

 

[Teague31]

When was OSCan ever any good?

 

[Teague31]

Tyron needs back surgery this offseason. Otherwise we do this all over again next year

 

[Aven8]

I would take a healthy Dez back then, over today a heatlhy Giants OBJ.

I would take a itching and moaning TO over OBJ any day of the week and twice on Sundays! I literally think if we had this fool I would hate him!! That's saying a lot!

lol. You rock.

He has never been a good route runner, he is lazy and rounds off his corners.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Well, was at the game, so no.

He's the most targeted WR in the league, of course he's our leading WR, that's not saying much. He's a bum and could easily be replaced by a number of rookies.

You're a garbage fan.

We don't need you.

 

[JJHLH1]

I will say, Dez made a nice catch on that TD on a terribly thrown ball by Dak.

Try again. Dak’s TD pass to Dez was perfect.

 

[mattjames2010]

All our "good players" are either not really good or are underwhelming this year.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Hallmarks of Dez haters:

1) Remove all context; provide statistics dating back of course to only 2015 but don't acknowledge games missed due to injury, games he played injured when he was clearly not close to 100 percent AND they make no mention of the fact he played with the likes of Weeden, Cassell and Moore.

2) Refuse to acknowledge Dez is utilized differently than guys like Witten and Beasley who run high percentage underneat routes.

3) Wait eagerly for anything resembling failure by Dez to cheer and crow about.
