Video: Undisputed- Is Dez Bryant washed up?

[CATCH17]

Both make good points.. Skip IMO is on point about the injuries.

Dez is 28 years old.. He should have at least 3 prime years left before we see a decline.

Injuries, usage, and bad QB play have been the reasons for 15 & 16 being kind of down.






And for those that say he doesn't show up in big games what is this?

 

[cowboyblue22]

I don't know that dez is washed up but he is on the down side he is not a top 5 wide receiver any more he is way over paid

 

[SDCowboy]

It is way too early to in the season to discuss this. I need to see more than one game with a rusty offense.

True, but saying that he is a couple of accurate passes from a couple of Touchdowns in week 1.

 

[cowboy_ron]

Dez has always been a hot and cold receiver which is I've always had him as a "good" receiver and shying away from him being in the "elite" category.

I forget who we were playing last year when he had 8 targets and zero receptions...."elite" WR's don't do that.

Most teams don't tell their elite WR's to run go routes almost the entire game either.

But like TO and Miles before him he does it.

 

[Cowboys22]

I wouldn't say washed up, just inconsistent and overpaid. He doesn't have overall elite WR skills and I don't think they get creative enough with him to help meaning he can be taken out of games. They should seriously begin the search for their next #1 WR.

Tell that to the triple and double coverage he commands from almost every team in the league we play

 

[SHAMSzy]

Dez is criminally underrated; his numbers don't show his true impact on the game

 

[crashintonickdm]

If dez were on any other team Shannon would say no, and list the reasons we all just did

 

[JohnsKey19]

Broken record. I think he's totally misused as a WR. He should be primarily a high volume short/intermediate threat like TO or Fitzgerald. Get the ball in his hands and take advantage of his strength as a ball carrier.

I thought Landon Collins made an excellent point in critiquing Dez's game. He said Dez is an incredibly strong WR but he doesn't really use it to his advantage. Instead we have Dez running routes outside trying to out-quick DBs, which ain't happening.

Whatever, I'm just Joe Fan on my couch. But I think Dez would dominate if featured in a short passing game. As it stands, Dez is still a very good WR. I'd say he's somewhere on the bottom end a top 10 WR.

He's inconsistent because of the scheme and injuries but I think you can make the argument he is overpaid.

Dallas shouldn't pay a WR like that if they don't plan on getting their money's worth.

 

[dfense]

He was elite when #9 was throwing him the ball.

He was elite when #9 was throwing him the ball.

I'd be interested to see how Dez ranked the 2nd half of the season. It seemed to me he and Dak got into a really nice rhythm as they got more of a chance to play together.

 

[Iron_Man]

I think if Dak was the QB when Dez had his contract year, Dez would have gone somewhere else... I do not think Dez would have received that monster contract. I do not think Dez would have had all the production or # of TDs.

It is obvious, Tony and Dak are two different QBs with two different styles. Tony used Jason/Dez with sprinkling wr3 and wr4 depending of the year. I see Dak spreading the wealth to all the receivers/Jason.

The contact was a good contract at the time... I could be wrong, but I believe most Cowboys fans were happy with it. The contract does not bother me.

I think we will see some great games from Dez this year., but I agree with Shannon. Dez does not run the complete route tree. Who knows if the production would be any different.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

He's an above average player but he has 2/3 years left max.

 

[Daillest88]

Get the ball in his hands on 5 -8 yard routes, good chance he'll take one to the house. He will wear a defense out if used right. It's seems when we play the Giants The just want to do constant go routes. That one inside play when Jenkins flew off of him can be alot more common. No body wants to get physical with him in the open field

Might want to change that avatar Catch.

 

[Hardline]

I wouldn't pass up a top notch WR in the first round of the draft if one was available.

 

[kazzd58]

Since he soooooo washed up then PLEASEEEEE Leave him one on one the whole game with a cb, no safety help and then come holla at me at the end of the game tell me the stat line...
Since he sooooooooo washed up!

all im saying!
