A popular opinion on this board is that WR is one of our biggest needs going into next season, but I disagree. This game just confirmed what I already thought - the trio of Beasley, Butler, and T-Will is good enough to get by.
Dez likely hangs onto that back fade thrown to Butler in the endzone to put this game on ice, and that's why he makes the big bucks.
But Butler showed a lot of good things today. He consistently got a clean release (a critical trait for outside WR's), gets separation at the end of his routes (his TD), and showed a large catch radius. We all know how stupid the taunting penalty was, but I think everyone is forgetting just how sick the actual catch he made before the penalty was. He climbed the ladder and looked every bit of the 6'3" athlete he is.
T-Will was open all game. Should've had a bigger day on the stat sheet, but Dak's accuracy rolling to his right was shaky.
Beasley is Beasley. One of the best slot WR's in the game and predictably got more attention today from the defense with Dez out.
Dak wasn't out there taking coverage sacks left and right. As well as he played, he actually left some big plays out on the field today. The way this trio got open today should give us confidence that the passing game will be alright while Dez takes his time rehabbing.
