It's true he was never supposed to be our #1 WR but he has been just awful this year. I was hoping this was the year he really put things together, but so far I've been extremely disappointed.

Terrance Williams - 9/17 for 144 yards, 1 TD
Devin Street - 1/3 for 18 yards


Cole Beasley - 12/15 for 122 yards
Lance Dunbar - 21/23 for 215 yards
(Note: Darren Sproles - 15/20 for 118 yards)
Jason Witten - 21/25 for 181 yards
Joseph Randle - 6/6 for 74 yards
Dez Bryant - 5/7 for 48 yards
Darren McFadden - 3/3 for 40 yards
Gavin Escobar - 4/5 for 24 yards


Players who need to be more involved in the offense
Players who need to be less involved in the offense

Also they need to go ahead and bring in a veteran wide receiver to pair with Williams until Bryant returns. Trying to trot out Devin Street like he is a legitimate receiver isn't helping anyone.

He cannot run routes and he doesn't catch the ball with his hands. There is a pretty obvious ceiling when all you can do is out athlete people. Not to mention we don't have the most creative coaches in the world. There are probably teams that would get more out of him, but this is the situation that he's in.

It's fairly obvious he's not the same player without Dez in the lineup but realistically, he simply isn't suited to being a starter. Like most #2s, his production plummets when he's forced to assume a starter's role. His troubles are especially noticeable when the CB opposing him is among the most capable of those in the NFL.

I'm hoping he'll snap out of his funk this week in New Orleans. Maybe the team will decide to replace him in due time but there's certainly no guarantee that'll be a priority in the next draft. I'm reasonably certain it would help his cause considerably if he had a somewhat more capable QB at the helm rather than Brandon Weeden, though.

The team drafts players replacementsa year before they are set to leave. That, the lack of another outside WR on the roster and the fact that they brought in a couple of highly projected WRs for visits in the last draft leas me to believe it will be a priority. They were also rumored to have been considering OBJ if he was available at their pick in the 2014 draft. CB, RB and WR could be high priority this offseason.

Really hoping Lamar Miller isn't locked up in Miami, would like Dallas to go after him in the offseason.

Perhaps so. As you had noted at the end of your post,there will be no shortage of needs, both offensive and defensive in the next draft, however. I think it's likely that it would be a mid-round pick if it's a probable goal. Maybe consideration of an early QB pick might be in the offing also.

It's unfair to judge him with Weeden throwing to him but right now I wouldn't give him a second contract. He did salt the Eagles game away.

This Terrance WIlliams hate has really grown legs. Just dont get it

I have seen him drop a few passes and he never seems to come down with the contested catch. This needs to change or he will be dissapointed in his next contract.

This just goes to show you how much Dez impacts the offense. T. Will. isn't bad, but he's playing like a #2 receiver. Things look a lot different when you get the main corner on you.

I disagree with you on his routes.

His problem is that his catch radius is tiny. You have to be incredible at everything else in order to be a good #1 WR in this league with a tiny catch radius like Williams has.

This is getting out of hand now. Terrence doesn't even get the football enough to say he's holding the offense back. Our quarterback is Brandon Weeden. You don't have to look further than the qb position to look at what's holding us back. Even if Dez was out here he wouldn't get any looks or catchable passes which is sad because he played college football with him.

tony being out is whats holding the offense back


This...


Tony means everything to this team.

Our coaches are not going to help matters. They keep their arrogant line up and win your matchup and keep us coaches out of it mentality.
