27 is middle age for a wide receiver they don't have super-long careers as a rule

Where did u hear that? You should have given a very stern talking to to Jerry Jones before we resigned him. How about being a little bit more Johhny On The Spot next time?

I mean Dez practiced weds, Thursday, and Friday albeit limited but still practiced. There are pictures of him leaping pretty high catching in practices. I don't know why he wouldn't play if he practiced 3 days in a row.

Well that justifies his contract right there. Thank you. I feel much better now.

His style of play invites injuries but management decided to pay up and there's little choice now. This should be monitored through the rest of the season and if he can't take the field and be effective, get another #1WR, let Williams walk and put Bryant as the #2 and a possession WR. Get a speedy deep threat for the #1. Bryant may make as many catches as the #2 guy, if he can get separation.

It's not about him and his injuries; it is about not having a #1WR or one that will draw doubles. And it's not about the injuries that keep him out; it's as much about the little ones that keep him <100%. He's not fast and not a great route runner; he has to be at 100% to be effective for the offense.

But take a look around the league at the injury situations. It's not just him and it's gotten to the point where the play has denigrated into sloppy games with a bunch of no names playing key positions. The NFLPA and owners should rethink some of these regulations they installed with the last CBA because this isn't working. The game isn't any rougher than it was back in the day; the players are not as well conditioned and many have actually trained themselves into being injury prone.

I'd like to see Dez on the field and helping the team but not as much as he would and I do not see any connection with his new contract and ability to be on the field, it's just bad luck because the guy is a player and wants to help his team. That said, when he's ready to play, we need someone else to dress like Aragorn and move stealthily among the players. I was digging that and at one time he was gliding like Voldemort in and out of the players in SF.


Good post.

It won't be popular but I agree.

In all seriousness, I think he is a good player. Sometimes very good. But his bone headed **** gets really old. I'm tired about hearing about his passion. I want to hear about him holding on to the ******* ball when he catches it.

He has been coddled way too damn much. I think he needs some jumper cables hooked up to his old 'nads and have the **** shocked out of him every time he drops the ball. Ok, I'm kidding. Well, kinda kidding.

Exactly, B. If his intensity and fire stays lit, he will not age like a Ginn, Beckham, Jackson etc. Speedsters have a rough time as they age, not tough possession receivers like our number 1.

Don't forget about his passion. It is what sets him apart from the crowd. You just have to cheer and do a victory lap when he shows his passion on the sidelines.

And I'll be rooting for him as hard as anybody I'm just saying when he leaves up in the air and comes down awkwardly it's going to start taking a toll you can count on that

Yeah but he still leads the team injured from the sidelines!

Did you read my post, sir?

Your comment to my post makes no sense.

Maybe if we did not rush him in, he'd stay healthy???


That is a reasonable thought mate. He is already inspiring the team from the sidelines. That should be enough. Hell we also have the Garrett clap. Championship!

You were expounding on the anti-aging properties of "passion" if I remember correctly. Dez won't age like other receivers who are less passionate. Thank goodness he is so passionate. I knew he was carrying the team with his passion, but I had no idea it kept you from aging! Is that why I feel so, so, so.....ALIVE??

I don't know about you guys, but reading this thread has really made me a Dez fan! I feel so much better about all of this now.

Why is that?

I think it's pretty self explanatory don't you?

It's like Dez and Romo kicked a bunch of puppies how some of these fans act.

Didn't you know they schemed up this elaborate plan to steal money and break bones so they wouldn't have to play. Now all they do is drink beer and get into twitter fights and clap on the sidelines with backward hats and sleeveless hoodies. The outrage

Christ, look at the injuries.

This last one to Dez Bryant...he was lucky not to tear a ligament in his ankle or knee.

No, I wasn't you dolt. Read the whole post of mine. I can't even respond further to, essentially, a brick.

Are you really this dense?

When you wake up with your hangover, please beeline over to this thread so we can pick up where we left off. If you say you're sorry, it was pure emotion (and booze) I will both, relate, and acquiesce.

Otherwise, we ain't done. My radar is locked on you. You shaped your idiotic replies to fit your dim witted narrative and I need closure.

Don't tread on Dez, home skillet, unless you can bring something other than that dip<censored> spiel.

Well maybe we should extend him and pay him some more money. That should cure what ails him! He needs to be able to feed his family!!!

Maybe you could argue with what I actually said instead of something stupid you made up.

Not saying it's his fault, or that he's not tough, but the best ability is availability. And looks like he'll sit again. Guaranteeing he misses at least a quarter of this season. After all the games missed last year. We spent too much money on a guy who can't stay healthy and our coaches can't consistently figure out a way to get the ball. Frustrating.

Yeah I agree but let's see if this sparks him a little. Remember DT got that huge deal right with Dez and he sucked in Denver. But this season he looks mad like he's playing with a chip.

Dez looks complacent to me.. he needs that fire again.

He literally carpet-bombed a thread with some weirdo takes that answered none of the posts he was responding to.

I suspect he is gonna have a nice little hangover when he wakes up, Zrin. :)
