Moore: Dez Bryant can still contribute in the NFL, but would signing him make sense for the Cowboys?

[p1_]

Agreed. I want zero part of Dez.

Apparently no one does. Just like when we cut him

 

[Shiningstar]

Id rather this be Amaris Corp and lets move forward, and find out if that Devin Smith has anything. Cooper, Gallup , Jarwin, is a good set, Smith , if he has anything would be a solid addition, if not, get someone but it doesnt have to be pricey.

Dez is a real possibility if we whiff coming out of the draft and heading into camp

With one of the deepest drafts for WR in modern NFL history, we would have to be real retards not to be able to come out with a viable 3rd receiver option.

So what you are saying is that it's very likely.

Yes. It is extremely likely.

 

[p1_]

Yes. It is extremely likely.

it would explain both letting Cobb leave and not pursuing Sanders in FA. Sound strategy IMO

Well yeah, hence the if.

Pre-Gallup, our history was to grab some project late round/UDFA receivers and watch our fan base go nuts over Macey Brooks, Cedric Wilson, and the like.

But only high draft picks have ever really worked for the Cowboys.

Gallup was the lowest drafted WR I can recall to actually succeedas a Cowboy, and definitely was so since Jerry took over.

So while we contemplate that... are you *sure* Dallas, meaning the Joneses, will come away with in the later rounds of 2020 what in prior drafts would be considered a 1-2 round caliber of player like Gallup was?

Agreed. I want zero part of Dez.

It was just a tiny clip for a few seconds, but I thought he looked horrible in those vids he put out of him catching passes.

 

[fortsbest]

I still have my Dez jersey and the X image to throw up for TDs. I'm ok with it to try during pre-season to see if it's doable.

 

[L.T. Fan]

Though this thread would have been dead by now.

If that is the case we really really whiffed on every front.

 

[boozeman]

Though this thread would have been dead by now.

Amen.

I really don't know why Bryant is revered like he is.

He might have caught it. But ya know what, he didn't.

Just like Romo, he is some sort of tragic hero that a lot of our fanbase just can't quit.

It is a little sad.

 

[p1_]

Its really kinda pathetic

 

[ravidubey]

No one on this site is pining for the guy.

If he’s healthy though, he could help a team in the twilight of his career ala Brandon Marshall.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Yeah and Austin was terrible as a punt returner. Some guys just lose the ability over time.

I'm not so sure that wasn't a coaching issue either. At this point I would bring Austin back. Let him compete with a rookie for 3rd WR and punt return. There's no other veteran worth shit out there and it might be interesting to see what McCarthy would do with him.

 

[L.T. Fan]

Bryant is too unstructured to fit with McCarthys style. He doesn’t run routes from a play book. It’s mostly ad lib with him. He isn’t structured as far as being hungry for the game because when he got his last contract, he either lost his concentration or couldn’t hang on to a ball that hit him in the hands,. His drop rate shot way up. He became a sideline clown having fits with different players. He just mentally quit. Then his injury took him out of the game and he never hit another beat.

What’s to desire about him.?

 

[Shiningstar]

No, we moved on. this whole, turning back the clock thing never works.

Move on, install new schemes, get the players on board

remove all old taint.

 

[ravidubey]

So much backlash hate for the guy based on his petulance over the years.

I get it. It's silly, but I get it.

No one is saying this guy is a #1 WR. He's a veteran guy who, based on a workout, could qualify for a squad.

If Dallas doesn't come away with a WR in the first 3.5 rounds, I don't care how deep this draft is our modern draft history says we aren't even getting a contributor, let alone a starter.

its a young man's game, bottom line.

 

[NoDak]

He is 31. Not like he's old. Gerald McCoy is 32, and people were good with that signing.

If Larry Fitzgerald was signed for a year, I doubt anybody would complain. He's 36. There are reasons Dez should probably not be resigned. Age isn't one of them.
