    I don't see how you can say he's gone full TO. The man got his feelings hurt, and he's always been a vocal guy. TO was a one of a kind type of cancer. Dez is not that. He probably needed to go regardless of whether or not we offered him a pay cut.

    Except TO is a HOFer. Dez is far from that. And you underestimate the problem Dez was behind the scenes. Besides gamedays, he was constantly late to shit he needed to be at. His antics on the sideline. If you think TO was a cancer, Dez was every bit as bad with his shit.

    He's on with Jane Slater and in a roundabout way said it was the captains and other "Garrett guys" who pushed the move with the Cowboy coaches. The captains stuff because he mentioned "you wear the C on your chest". 

    Danny on The Ticket said the guys who wore that in 2017 were Dak, Witten, T.Crawford, Bailey, Lee and Scandrick. So there are your "Garrett Guys". 

    He's such a fucking clown. And that immature, woe is me interview is a big reason why they didn't even want to offer him a paycut to stay here. Many people from the players to the coaches to the front office have had enough of his act. It went well beyond with his diminished skills and production. Saying he knows who are the ones who don't like him and he will send a text letting them know. You were cut by your own doing. Suck it up and move on dumb ass. You are proving the stigma that has been attached to your name for all your career. That you are some egotistical, immature cry baby who only cares about his own stats.

    And of course he had to run to social media to get the sympathy from the fans and players to boost his ego.

    So glad this clown is finally gone. Good riddance.

  3. dak did pretty good last season didnt he. take away his best receiver and watch the lol 
    Oh you mean the time Dez missed in 2016 and this team won every game with great offensive efficiency. Lmao.

    Dak doesn't need Dez and frankly, doesn't want him I'd suspect. Zeke and this OL is what is important to Dez, not fucking Dez.
  4. Most people that "care" didn't even know what a fucking kolache was 15 years ago. 
    I'm over 75% Czech so I grew up eating them homemade from my mom's mother. I never had them from stores. I don't care at all if people call a pig and blanket a kolache but it doesn't make sense. If someone was to tell me they have some kolaches for breakfast, I'd be expecting a pastry. Pig and the blankets in Czech are Klobasniky.
  5. I knew it was coming, but it still sucks. Even if he signs with an nfc east team, it’ll be hard for me to not root for Dez. Favorite cowboy of all time. His passion had everything to do with how much he cares about winning. I’ll throw up the X until the day I die. 
    Cared about winning? Lmao. Wow. He cared about his stats and that's it. Don't believe his lip service. His actions proved he gave no shit about winning time and time again.

    Releasing Dez Bryant is what stupid teams do. Dallas is a stupid team, so of course they released him. 

    For the "Dez never got open crowd", if you're curious you can check out WR Average YDS of Separation in 2017 which is a good ( not great, but certainly not bad ) indicator of how "open" a guy was. A few names from that list . . . 

    1. Antonio Brown - 2.6 yards
    2. Dez Bryant - 2.4 yards 
    3. A.J. Green - 2.4 yards
    4. Gronk - 2.2 yards
    5. DeAndre Hopkins - 2.1 yards
    6. Mike Evans - 2.1
    7. Alshon Jeffrey - 1.8

    Also, anyone that references 2015 in regards to Dez's stats is just being flagrantly dishonest and should be ignored. 

    Well 2015-2017 weren't that good for Dez. His skills has been diminishing. It isn't just 2015.

    No, he isn't. But he's the closest thing they had by far.

    Teams don't necessarily need an all-world guy, but those teams have really accurate passers like Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers. Dak pretty much needs that guy.

    But Dez doesn't fit Dak at all. That was the issue. If Dez was as good as he thought, he would have made Dak better. Why is this on Dak to make Dez better as a 1 and 2 year starter when  Dez is supposed to be this great WR? Should be the other way around. People are saying watch Dez go succeed with Rodgers or Brady. Well shit, if Dez needs all pro QBs to succeed, that is kind of damning to him, right? 

    Dak needs guys who can run routes correctly and dependable when you throw them the ball. Dez was a one trick pony. And can be good at that but you have to have a QB who knows how to be a little unconventional at times i.e. throw it up. Dak is not a throw it up QB. He works best when he knows where guys will be. Dez was an ad lib WR who worked best when you tell him to just go up and get the ball. Like backyard football. Hell he's almost 30 and just now got around to learning a route tree or off the line separation.

    It's not about replacing what they had in Dez. It's about getting a receiver that's actually a legit number one, which was a need with or without Dez. The odds of finding one got slimmer.

    Dez was not a legit #1, though. That was my point. We aren't replacing Dez of old. The Dez after the surgeries just isn't the same. I mean he was our #1 WR but every team by default has to have a #1. It's like being an ace in baseball. Just because you are your teams #1 option does not mean you are an ace. You just happen to be the best on your team. That is Dez.

    Dallas needs to learn (and maybe they are), you don't need some all world guy to be your #1. You can have a mixture of guys who compliment the QB and the offense very well but aren't your so called #1 guys and top flight WRs like Brown, Jones, Beckham, Megatron. 

    Look at the Lions after losing Megatron. They didn't go out and try and replace him with some all world talent. In fact, Stafford and that offense actually became better when Megatron left. Hell he became an MVP candidate by many accounts in 2016 before he got hurt. And no Megatron. This offense is going to be just fine and actually more efficient without Dez.

    Without Dez they are almost locked in to drafting a WR in round 1. That's bad because now team's know they have to trade above Dallas to get Ridley or DJ Moore, and they'll probably miss out and have to reach like they usually do. Good possibility of a trade down to take a next-option guy, or have to trade up and burn some good picks, and end up with a domino effect shitty draft. We've seen that show before.

    Not true at all. We don't need a 1st round guy to replace Dez. You can replace him with a 2nd/3rd round talent. You need to realize that with him being gone, is a positive for the rest of this offense. No longer do we have to force feed him and bog down the offense. This opens up everything. Taking a WR in the 1st would be ignorant. Which is what makes me nervous. This front office is known to make ignorant decisions on draft day. Get a LB in the first. And WR in the 2nd or 3rd. 

    Still like the possibility of getting Earl Thomas with the money Dez freed up for us. That would transform this defense and this team in general. Still holding out hope there because we need a safety very badly.

    Dak did just fine when Dez was injured. Something to keep in mind.

    I will keep saying it. This offense was at its most efficient when Dez was out. When he got hurt for those games, I remember people freaking out about what were we going to do without him. And it was the total opposite. You didn't even realize he was missing. No longer did Dak feel the need to get him the ball and force feed his ego. Which usually bogged down the offense. All the WRs got involved and he was the most comfortable. Dez became a net negative to this offense. His production (or lack of it) did not outweigh the issues he was causing. 

    The Seattle game last year. We are playing in a must win game, we are winning at the time and Dez is throwing a hissy fit on the sidelines about not getting the ball. Then the next ball that was thrown to him, he let it cling off his hands and was picked off. He's a distraction to this offense. People tried to talk themselves into it being the media just trying to start stuff and all his antics on the sideline were taken out of context. False. He became a bitch when he didn't get his way. He already proved in the Seattle game he didn't care about team results. He wanted his touches and stats first. And he's definitely not the only WR like this. Plenty of them out there. It seems to be their mentality for whatever reason.

    I'm not sure what memories people are holding on and will miss of Dez where this is such some sad state of affair. The Romo/Dez/Witten trio got extremely stale. 2 down, 1 to go.

  11. WhT could have been.   I look forward to him being signed to a team with a coach who knows how to use him and  watch him win a Super Bowl with the patriots lol
    Patriots like precision route runners. Not sure he's a great fit there. Also, if they win the Super Bowl, it won't be because of him. He would just happen to be on the team when they do it.

  12. Higher expectations for sure, but also, we've been accustomed to major off seasons moves (for good or bad) that indicate that we were in contention. And other than Calhoun we don't have we don't have alot to e excited for in the minors. the last few years, we've had Gallo, Profar, Brinson, Perez, ect.....
     
    Even last year, when we sucked it was still cool to watch Gallo, and the huge mprovement of Andrus. And Beltre's chase to 3,000
    I think we were all in on Ohtani and if we landed him, we would have been serious about making moves. Probably bring Yu back as well. The front office went all in on him and said if we don't get him, there is no backup plan.
