Sturm: Dez Bryant running out of time to justify his massive contract

[Bohuntr97]

Dez + offseason = clickbait

Need some web traffic, oh I know, I'll write about Dez. lol

We can always start another thread about Jaylon Smith!

 

[GhostOfPelluer]

All I know is that if he's not great this season, I'll betcha they release him.

Maybe. If he's not great this season I may be leading the calls for his release. It would surprise me, though. I expect to see the Dez we saw down the stretch last season.

 

[LocimusPrime]

Promised dez I'd be more supportive on the threads. Let's see what he does this year. Comeon dez! Lets get 1200 yds and 10 tds.

 

[GhostOfPelluer]

They won all 3 games that he missed in 2016. The offense seemed to flow better in those games than when he returned.

The Falcons were 2-0 without Julio Jones in 2016. Are they really a better team without him?

I mean...if you're THAT bored.

The Falcons were 2-0 without Julio Jones in 2016. Are they really a better team without him?

Those games were against the Rams and 49ers who were 4-12 and 2-14 respectively.

Oh, there will be more of those. A lot more...

 

[DallasDomination]

Dez came to play in the playoffs did he not?

He'll be fine..

 

[Shuff]

Dez is overrated, I wish they had traded him in the off-season. If he can go 16 games and catch 100 for 1400, then I will change my mind, but I don't think those numbers are attainable for him anymore. I hope I am wrong.

 

[GhostOfPelluer]

Those games were against the Rams and 49ers who were 4-12 and 2-14 respectively.

Two of the Cowboys' wins without Dez were against SF and Cincinnati. And they rushed for 191 yards against GB. Whooptie doo. My point is both records are such small sample sizes as to be statistically inconclusive.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

I like Sturm, but don't know if I completely agree here; though he is being objective here.

We can get by without Dez and WR isn't all that important to winning.

But the guy is a touchdown machine.

Win super bowl this year.
All = forgiven.

 

[The Natural]

My profile is fake. I'm neither female or in my 40's.

As a man that makes your comment even worse.

 

[CATCH17]

Target him 8-12 times a game like those other receivers and see the numbers he puts up..

It's pretty obvious but if you're just a highlight reel guy you'll just blame it on Dez.

 

[BlueStar22]

I seriously doubt he has. He has leeches for family members that don't work and smoke weed all day that he pays for. He'll be broke within 5 years of retiring, imo.

You know this, how?

 

[bayeslife]

I mean.... not from lack of ability. he's been injured. not sure where Sturm buys his crystal balls from

 

[Idgit]

Its almost to the point that these guys like Crawford, Dez, Witten are the last of the old guard bad contracts.

Witten's contract wasn't bad, we're just at the point in the deal where we're upside down on it.

I'll just leave this here:

WR Targets (2015 + 2016 regular season)

• Antonio = 350
• Julio = 333
• Dearyius = 321
• TY = 291
• AJ = 232
• Jeremy = 200
• Dez = 171

Well, that's a pretty good counter-argument.

I was going to step around the target comparison, because it invites all sorts of disputes, but the WR ratings are pretty compelling.

 

[Cowboys_22]

I like Dez. Unfortunately injuries are part of football and beyond his control.

I love his effort on the field. Yeah he hasn't met expectations last couple of years but it's not because lack of effort. His career isn't over.

Go Cowboys! Go Dez!

 

[MileyDancer]

As a man that makes your comment even worse.

Omg, I'm so hurt. I'm going to go sit fetal position in the shower and cry. I'll probably cut myself a few times to take the emotional pain away.

 

[MileyDancer]

You know this, how?

My best friend (who works for the Cowboys) went with the director of player personnel to Dez's house, where 4 family members were sitting there all day smoking weed (none have jobs) and they told Dez they were hungry, and Dez took them out to eat. He does that all the time. I get helping your family, but there's being taken advantage of.

 

[Denim Chicken]

That means throwing underneath to smaller WRs, TEs and RBs.

Hmm.
