Did you see how bad the LT position was for the Cowboys last season?

Definitely disagree. His locker room issues were not magnified until his injuries and struggles happened.


What? Dude was in the headlines for hitting his mother, trashing a rental house, and acting like a crazy person on the sidelines. That was all national news. It wasn't something that only got covered once he started to fall off.

quote:

I agree he would have been given a chance to restructure if he was a better person and less vocal but you better believe if he was still the top 3 WR we saw in 2014, no one is questioning getting rid of him.


Sure if either of those things were true his issues would be something that could be overlooked like they were early in his career.

quote:

This is a simple case of a talented athlete letting the contact and ego getting to his head combined with multiple injuries.


That and the fact that he is a nut who isn't well liked by his team.

Of course if he was still putting up big numbers he'd still be around. But if there had never been any "Dez being Dez" distractions he'd still be too. It's more than him losing a step. It's that he's a loose cannon on top of it.

When Adrian Clayborn can put up that kind of insane game. You know you suck.

But reality is dak had clean pockets for a lot of games and he couldn't go through progressions well

If you’re talking about Sutton being slow and no red zone ability. I know not to pay attention to you.

When you a prima donna like Dez this is what happens to you, all the yelling at the coaches and QB finally caught up to him. Cowboys grew tired of his act

That really has nothing to do with Dez's situation. Did he have mix reviews at times? Sure. The bigger concern is that he'll be 30 in November and no longer has the ability to separate against #1 CB's.

Great to know that a New Orleans Saints' fan is such an "expert" on the Dallas Cowboys.

Or the fact, we get shoved Dallas games all the time. Don't act like his OL was absolutely shite like Wilson's.

So you are saying that as a HUGE Saints fan, you watch the Dallas Cowboys play so much that you are an expert that is full of knowledge about America's Team? Are an expert or just a closet Cowboys fan?

I don't think it will be as bad, but Dak is going to have the Griffin/Kap dropoff. Great start, but their game isn't sustainable in the league, especially when you're figured out.


So do you think it’s all a matter of the D-coors now all having tape on the guy or do you think there is more to it than that? I don’t claim to be an expert in any of this shot but arak really he them in a tough spot as far as what to do with Romo. Sure, dak had lots of succes bag first year but you knew it wasn’t sustainable. That being said, I did t expect his own fans to be claiming that he sucked as quickly as is happened.

Or the fact that I watched a lot of NFL games OUTSIDE of the Saints. You know, all because I'm a Saints fan doesn't limit me to only those games. Or maybe the fact I drafted Dak in Fantasy and I just so happened to watch those games too.

Yeah, Dallas' LT situation was arse. But that wasn't the sole reason why Dak sucked at times this year.

Imagine if he went to the patriots and Bill Belicheck straightened Dez out. I don’t see Dez suceeding W wise unless he goes to a more structured franchise.

He was never great.

He was physical off the line, overwhelming smaller defenders.

His production was not commensurate with his payfor 3 years.
Injuries.

I can't stand him.

Maybe it's just dak



He lost his speed and explosiveness

that and his route running sucks, so you can't primarily use him in the slot.

When an outside guy looses his speed, he becomes useless unless he is good at running routes.
