Whats up with you're recent Dez hate?
With all due respect to you, if you think the media exaggetates his issues, I get it.; however if you make a list of guys that hold themselves or the team back due to behavioural type issues, I don't see how Dez is not on that list.
He does not maximize his talent, IMO. He has often been out of shape and has had to get IVs during games more than anybody I can remember. Maybe it's sometimes from being too hyped, but whatever the reason it's not helping the team.
He has often been a distraction for various reasons.
He has dogged it on the field even recently and was called out by coaches.
He held out and came back out of shape. He thought he had to get Megatron money despite not being Megatron talent. Second highest paid WR at about 14M per was an insult.
He has never been known as a good route runner or film room type player.
Jerry redid his contract in the early years to advance him money because the jeweler and others were seeking legal action. He showed loyalty by immediately threatening to holdout when contract negotiations were stalled.
He was too good to carry shoulder pads like other rookies. Many hall of fame players paid their dues as rookies but he was just too good for all of that. They exaggerated the rookie dinner costs because of his refusal on the shoulder pads and other issues which was a sign that some players had issues with him.
He has obvious concentration issues. He is likely to drop easy catches when he was not the primary receiver on a play. He was wide open on a 5 yard crossing pattern in the Cleveland game and dropped a perfect pass.
He continued to rant in at least one game about interference even after the Cowboys scored a TD.
