We are agreed Dez is just an average WR

[CCBoy]

Dez just tries to rely on his natural ability and doesn’t put in the mental work to be truly great. I would not resign him.

Is the big tree worth a visit?

 

[Frozen700]

I’m not against keeping him around, but I can see where they take his and wittens cap and use them in a different direction. Dez can still be effective if the system is ready to throw his way on low percentage plays, and the qb is willing to throw into coverage. Romo was a great qb for dez. It could have been so much more.

Man I miss that Romo guy

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

I’ll be honest all I read was the title but I never agreed to that

 

[Thomas82]

Yep.


I love Dak but he’s not going to feed a WR like Romo could and you mix in our outdated passing scheme and you have one of the biggest wastes of talents in Cowboys history.

Accurate!!

We really should be what the Saints are this year, a team that has the capability to be a top flight passing team but chooses to use the run game to control the clock. If you choose to take away the run game then Drew Brees can still beat you as a prolific passer. That's what we were with Romo in his last full year. We can't do that now.

Dez is only 29, and well-liked by his teammates and the organization.


The Cowboys are a running team, but Dez and the passing game have become such a problem that this area will be targeted for major changes in the off-season if they miss the playoffs. That means cutting receivers and possibly the offensive coordinator.

There is no good reason this passing “attack” should rank 29th out of 32 teams in the NFL.

Exactly right yet so many are content with the lack of a top flight passing game.

They are just thrilled that the current noodle armed imposter isn’t #9

But to the topic of Dez? Yeah, he’s underperformed his contract. No change there

 

[big dog cowboy]

Dez is not an elite WR and not sure he ever was.

I would say he might be slightly above average due to some great catches he's made, they are just few and far between as well as missing on passes that some on this board could catch.

Doesn't he lead the league in TD's since he entered the NFL? That doesn't sound slightly above average to me. No he isn't elite but he is better than most are portraying him as in this thread and yes he is vastly overpaid.

Yup you never know a person's true worth until they are gone

 

[kumizi]

if he had the same amount of targets as an "average" WR, i wonder if his production would even be average

 

[Cannibal_Cowboy]

Butterfingers Bryant is the most over-hyped, over-paid pile of manure ever to wear a Cowboys uniform.

 

[iceberg]

Those last 2 on dak?

 

[Pants]

Boy does Dez catch everything thrown at him!!!!

 

[Blackspider214]

I don't even think he's average any longer. He is just straight up trash. He's so worthless.

 

[Sarek]

Dez looks like he’s a below average WR today.

 

[IAmLegend]

9 drops on the year and counting.

Yeah, he still sucks, just let it go.

 

[dallasfan4lizife]

Get Josh Gordon in the off-season and make Bryant take a HUGE pay cut. He he declines, show him the door

 

[cowboy_ron]

WR is a high prority in the next draft.........Ridley maybe?

 

[Section446]

I don't even want him with a reduction in pay, I want him gone. He's everything wrong with the Cowboys.
