You don't prove anything, I've completely ruined whatever credibility you came to this board with by exposing your agenda. I've provided plenty of facts/stats to show that Dez's production has declined since 2014. All these "Dez threads" that keep popping up with fans complaining about his lack of production and consistency is just more proof that he hasn't been the receiver he was prior to his foot injury and signing his fat contract. Everyone knows Dez missed 3 games it's impossible to hid that. The missed games and injuries are what we've been seeing with him the past 2 seasons. No one was defending him on opening day when he didn't produce because we lost.
It's easy to defend him now because we're winning but if we start running into some losses and he comes up with only one catch and several drops FANS like you won't be coming to his defense then. He had some drops on Sunday and ran a lazy route that caused Garrett to jump on him during the game. He once again showed frustration on the field that caused one of the commentators to say that he's got to learn to let things go. If what we've seen from Dez the past season and a half is all we end up getting from him the rest of his career will you be satisfied? Have fun dancing around that. lol
Not talking to me but I'll respond anyway.
I defended Dez after game one because I believed it was
A) daks first game and he was clearly more comfortable throwing short to safety valves witten and Beasley, and the coaching staff had a very conservative and stripped down playbook for him
B) the Giants defense played very well and focused on eliminating Dez and Zeke
C) He made a Dez esque TD catch that was stolen again.
With 2015 lingering over him obviously it was concerning but I was reserving judgement because of those factors and because he looked good to me in preseason.
Next game moved around, used creatively and with great success. Game after that looked to be more of the same but he got hurt on the first drive. Still stayed in and scored the game clinching TD.
When he comes back again against the best defense we've faced he had his biggest game of the year and once again scores a huge TD to tie the game and it was vintage Dez. You want to focus on the number of targets to catches but that particular game was Dak as off as we've seen him and should have been a MONSTER game. Instead it was a great game and one that helped us win.
This week it was a browns blowout so it's not really worth analyzing. Although he should have had an easy TD but had his arm completely held down.
Only game I'm disappointed by was the first and again there were several reasons not to read too much into it IMO which was then validated by him having three straight great games.
I still want more, he's paid to do more and I'm missing it as well. But I am happy he's back on the field and either producing 100 yard games, catching crucial tds, or occupying so much attn that everyone else's jobs are easier.
