Will Dez ever be elite again?

[KJJ]

I thought the team would be good. You thought they wouldn't. Next.

Show me where I thought the team wouldn't be good? I made no predictions on how this season would go. You always think the team will be good you're a FAN.

 

[SDCowboy]

Game plans aren't designed around him. We're a run first team, and we spread the ball around.

To just use stats as the only indication of what Dez brings to this team is laughable.

Dude, please. Your expectations of Dez can't be this low.

we just have a lot of dumb posters apparently.

Dallas has completed just 39 percent of passes thrown to Bryant, worst among all receivers on the team. Only Butler is also below 50 percent. Every other receiver is above a two-thirds proposition. Now he doesn't even make the difficult catches that were his specialty.

Absurd stat. One, what are the number of targets between each receiver. Where are the receivers catching the passes, is it short routes or long routes?

3 passes last week to Dez were far off the mark. I'm sure that factors in.

You guys really love your raw statistics.

Seriously, we've got some of the #%?!est fans in all of sports.

ARE YOU WATCHING THIS TEAM?

Who in their right mind is going to complain about Dez right now? My God dude, open your damn eyeballs.

 

[wick]

He caught some big balls. 4 of them.


4 catches on 11 targets.

Whatever you say man. I'm not going to bother arguing with you if you think Dez's play has been remotely acceptable for most of the last two seasons.

 

[mattjames2010]

Yet again.

Dez just came off a 100 yard game, helping us tie it up. Is it Dez's fault last week Dak was throw 5-10 yards away from Dez at times? How about this week when targeted, he had two blatant PI's and Dak missing him because he is trash at reading the field at times?

It seems most of you have a high bar for every player here except for Dak. Everyone is criticized heavily, excuses are made for Dak boy. Nothing is on Dak, it's simply Dez or some outside force.

 

[DenCWBY]

It's not too early to hit the panic button on Dez. He's a shell of what he was from 2010-2014, and we aren't seeing signs he'll recover to that level. His catch percentage has fallen off a cliff the last two seasons.

His days as a great receiver may be over.

I dont care if Dez is elite or not. He just needs to produce when called upon.

14 targets.

I'm going to assume you're not actually watching.

Dez should be expected to have more than one good game every once in a while.

 

[Hoofbite]

He'll always be a guy who relies nearly entirely on his natural ability.

Not sure he'll ever maximize his potential but he's still pretty good.

 

[gmoney112]

We don't force him the ball because we don't need to. Other teams with star WR's aren't nearly as fortunate to have this OL, RB, TE, and a slot WR that's open every other play.

Dak just had his most efficient game of the season, some guys running wide open on plays, with Davis even commenting on how the Browns were obviously focusing a lot on Dez. He is a weapon, and even if we don't force it to him, team still gameplan for him.

He also helps immensely with taking guys out of the box.

We're 7-1 and dominating everyone but one of the top defenses in the NFL. I'm not changing a damn thing about this offense.

 

[weaver21]

We just won today and of course are fanbase finds something to complain about. I'm surprised no one is complaining about the defense right now.

Some people have no interest in facts or statistics, only defending their guy with rationalizations or attacking people who breathe even an ounce of criticism in his direction.

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

Do you understand how football works? They're interested in wins, not stat stuffing. He had a couple of chances today. Clear PI went uncalled twice. He plays in a run heavy offense. Rookie QB is more prone to safer underneath throws. There a dozens of variables but your simply shutting your ears and pointing to a stat sheet in a 35-10 blowout.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

14 targets.

And you didn't see Dak miss some throws in which Dez was WIDE open last week.

Get real.

 

[KJJ]

Right, we have some like you who still thinks drafting Zeke was a mistake because you thought McFadden had a great season in 2015 and you have those who want to bench Dak and go back to Romo.

 

[Blackspider214]

This reaction is getting tiring from you excuse makers. 3 drops today. Whines and complains to the point where he takes himself out the game mentally. If he's not the guy on the play, he loafs and jogs. Pearson has already ripped him for it after Week 1.

He has been terrible this year. He's out 4th best WR so far.

Not even close to worth his contract. He's a fraud.
