News: Schefter on Dez

[haleyrules]

The media love little controversies...it sells. All networks do...but the sports industry absolutely thrives on it.

Maybe Jerry is trying to start to build a case for a breach of contract suit. More likely Jerry is trying to light a fire under Dez's butt.

I don't get the dislike for Dez. Been this way since 2010.
I'm not a Dez apologist, but at the same time I don't see major issues for so many to be upset at him.

Sure, he's been immature at times, like last week missing the first 2-3 days of the week. But it's not like he's getting DUI's, busted for pot, suspended, etc.

Sure his upbringing has something to do with it/may not be the brightest guy out there. However, IMO he loves the Cowboys and he is passionate. We could have it much worse.

Someone wants accountability for everyone. Maybe that player was disciplined for something Dez routinely gets away with

Or maybe he's not on the team anymore.

32 teams in the league would be ecstatic to have Dez Bryant on their roster. I get concern about his injuries v. his style of play v. his contract. The rest of the criticism is sheer collective idiocy as near as I can tell. I *think* fans are so excited about Dak and Zeke that they emotionally want to flush all prior offensive playmakers from the roster. But that's a perspective that defies both logic and the principles of the salary cap and ignores what the overwhelming issues have been in Dallas in recent years.

Somehow, though, Jason Witten is immune from the urge to purge. At least for the time being. Swaim-mania hasn't quite swept him up in it's current yet somehow.

Ooh eee ooh he sounds just like Jessey Holley.

 

[iRepDatStar]

And leave it to fans who love the Cowboys not to dismiss anything bad reported about the team.

You don't have to. I'm just explaining why I believe the information is credible.

And yet there you criticizing Dez after Week 1, but I get, you're trying to distance yourself from the fray.

There's a big difference between criticizing him for a drop on a specific play and criticizing his presence on the roster.
