am i the only cowboy fan who wasn't mad at dez demanding more from his team?

[Trill Clinton]

it seems like most cowboy fans and even football fans in general, are riding the 'dez is a diva' wave right now because he was seen showing emotion on a dead cowboy sideline. sad that the best player on your team, the second best WR in the game gets treated like a piece of shit by his suck ass head coach and quaterback.

i don't know why everyone is acting like what dez did was a no-no. ummmm todd haley can be seen getting cussed out on the sidelines every sunday lol. hopefully one day the rest of the team can match your passion and intensity on game day, dez:toast

He was demanding more targets, b...not passion,

[monosylab1k]

He didn't give a shit about winning, he gave a shit about not being forcefed the ball as Megatron punked his ass all game.

[kamikazi_player]

It looked like something TO would do and we know how that turned out. I don't mind passion, but looking at him cuss out not once but twice is what got me shaking my head. We don't need anymore drama on this team.

He didn't give a shit about winning, he gave a shit about not being forcefed the ball as Megatron punked his ass all game.

how do ya'll know? even if that's the case, so what? he's the second best receiver in the game and garret should be feeding him the ball non stop. i'd be mad as hell if i'm the 3rd or 4th option on every play too.


It looked like something TO would do and we know how that turned out. I don't mind passion, but looking at him cuss out not once but twice is what got me shaking my head. We don't need anymore drama on this team.

how is it drama??? it happens on every teams sidelines, fam. this team is straight up pussy. bunch of complacent losers who'd rather clap and pat each other on the ass after a bad possession than get in each other's ass and hold the next man accountable.

no because they play on hard nosed teams and they aren't known for choking

[Trill Clinton]

if it was in the 1st qtr, i'd understand. but in crunch time when this team is notorious for choking, everybody on that offense including the head coach looked scared and unsure but dez was trying to light a fire under their ass. how dare he.

[kamikazi_player]

no because they play on hard nosed teams and they aren't known for choking
I don't see that as an excuse. Like I said, I love players being passionate, but what he did was pretty much along the lines of what TO would have done and this team does not need that right now.

this team does need a shot in the arm. being complacent on the sidelines is not gonna win clutch games. it wasn't T.O's fault we sucked those years either lol. he was also the best player we had.

[spurraider21]

i don't blame him for demanding more targets. their offense was struggling bad until the 4th, and he is capable of making catches through coverage.

the way in which he carried himself about it was ridiculous though

[TrainOfThought5]

And 2 of them he turned into touchdowns.

People sayin he wants more targets are right. He does. And he should get them. Dez is the best.player on the cowboys offense. Every time the cowboys wasted time trying to run the ball for -2 yards with backup runningbacks, behind a shoddy Oline couldve been another attempt to get Dez the ball.

Its laughably simple. And as for Dez's passion.... he got it from Irvin. The same one that everyone reveres so much for his passion.

but is there a double standard?? Of course there is. When Tom Brady yells at his recievers publicly on the sideline he's a " fiery leader who just wants to win." When ray lewis yells at his teammates hes "displaying that passion that made him so great"

But this is Dez Bryant, hes already been pegged by fans as some sort of jewelry stealing, mother beating, thug. Such is life.

[TrainOfThought5]

:lol Witten does need to step his life up. Shittin the bed for my fantasy team

Your team needs a lot more help than Jason Witten, to be COMPLETELY honest. Your quarterback gave you negative points.

[Spur-Addict]

You're right, we do need help on the outside for Russell. I agree. He has to do a lot himself. He's being pressured at a league high rate of 46% on passing attempts. The average is 36%. Luckily we just got our starting TE back, but we're still without our starting LT, and RT. Percy will be back eventually. Still see week 10 as most likely.

[DPG21920]

1) Dez is not the 2nd best WR in the league. His route running alone keeps him from that group. As you have seen today, and every week, there is a pretty big gap still between the true superstars and guys like Dez.

2) That meme is stupid. Brady is a champion and has earned the right to blow up. Dez has come a long way from getting kicked out of malls and assaulting his mother, but he has not won anything and has not earned the right to do what he did.

[HarlemHeat37]

Wait, Dez assaulted his mama, tbh?..

dez is not even a top 10 reciever, those who compare him to cj are just flat out retarded.

[TrainOfThought5]

Did you seriously just compare Dez to Tom Brady? Just when I thought "he has to do a lot himself" was the worst take of the thread...

I compared their actions on the sidelines to each other.

Would you like to compare him to T.O?? The same T.O. who helped take the cowboys to the playoffs for the last time in 3 years?? And its last playoff victory in over a decade?? And who had the same problems with the Coach, and the same QB?? And when he left the cowboys were left with an inconsistent and predictable offense leading to ZERO records better than .500??

No matter your bias, the facts, stats, and eye test wont hold up for any anti-dez slander, to be perfectly honest.

P.S. - im not a T.O. fan by any means... in fact i HATED him. But a lot of the things he complained about i didnt see, agree with until AFTER he left and i was forced to see it (all the forced throws to Witten, the horrible playcalling and game management by Garrett, etc, etc.)

Again, no one is disputing the fact Garrett sucks. However, saying Brady's actions are similar are stupid. Brady is a champion and a HOF. He's earned the right. TO is a HOF, and has done a lot more than Dez and even he's earned the right. Dez isn't helping anything, hasn't won anything and hasn't earned anything. He's just a year or two removed from thuggin & buggin in malls and b*tch slapping his momma.

Hell, just a year or two ago most Cowboy fans were screaming for the team to trade him because his talent did not outweigh his baggage.

[monosylab1k]

btw brady took a ton of heat from the media after his last sideline rant.

Im not disputing his actions at all. ....although there was never any physical contact proven between him and his mother outside of allegations.

My point is people act like he isnt right about things on the sideline and things dealing with FOOTBALL because of his OFF FIELD persona. But its understandable, and the life of a famous young troubled reciever.

Tony Romo was having a shit day and deserved to be called out on it. Bryant is a better player at his position then Romo is at his, so I don't see why he isn't allowed to go off on him when he isn't playing up to standard. If Bryant was having a shit game, not running the right routes, etc and Romo started yelling at him it would be called :cry great leadership :cry

Love the emotion, but don't love the emotion getting to the point where you can divide the locker room. Jason Garret is a little bitch, and here is the proof:

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1826878-dez-bryant-throws-a-tantrum-on-the-sidelines-of-cowboys-vs-lions-game

He should have got in Dez' face and made that fool take a seat on the bench and quit his temper tantrum. He was there, scared and timid while his star receiver raped his coaches and players. Look at the way he gently grabs Bryant's arm and carefully moves him out of the way. WHO THE FUCK IS IN CHARGE OF THIS TEAM?

I miss Parcells.

[jag]

-If Dez thinks the team will be better served with him getting more targets, then he needs to discuss that with Garrett and Romo. By "discuss" I don't mean running up and down the sidelines screaming to anyone who will listen.

-Ware is not a leader and seeing him try to talk sense into Dez is laughable. If Dez told him to eat shit, I wouldn't blame him.

-Witten isn't a leader either. Seeing him try to take the initiative and put Dez in his place was almost as laughable as seeing Ware reluctantly restrain Dez. The only reason Witten got pissed is because Dez was getting all over Romo.

-Dez slapped his momma. If my momma was out sucking dicks for $5's and $10's and then got in my face talking crazy after abandoning me as a child for the rock, I'd probably slap her too.

This.

[pgardn]

Much was made last week about Dallas receiver Dez Bryant saying he could do whatever Johnson could do. On and off the field, Johnson turned it into a nonissue; he said he heard about Bryant's boast only when Bryant texted him to explain things.


The above. It's painfully obvious. HE made it a 1 v. 1 issue when he bit on the press comparisons and then framed his tantrum as a team pep talk And of course Romo et al will cover for him. So Johnson is better and classier, who cares, this is a team game. Dez has worked hard to concentrate on what he needs to do to be Romo's best offensive weapon yet he is still but a child.

[Trill Clinton]

my nig

[johnsmith]

Based on the post game press conf's, I don't think this was a big deal. Romo and Garrett didn't seem to care and it was an afterthought for them, so it should be for the fans as well.


However, I see the fans perspective on being annoyed about this. It could potentially be the same old story, just with a different player. So if this is the beginning of the end for Dez in Dallas and he starts getting traded around the league (see TO) because his attitude sucks, then I agree with them, and Dez is a pain in the ass.

Like I said though, the players don't seem to mind and this could end up being an isolated deal.

[johnsmith]

Also, LOL Cowboys.

That was easily one of the most entertaining losses I've seen from them. I actually felt sorry for Cowboy fans after that.

being homer is fine, but cj, fitz, welker, decker, roddy white, reggie wayne, julio jones, aj green, demarius thomas, desean jackson, torrey smith are all either flat out better, far more reliable or simply have done so much more meaningful stuff than him, that saying he's number two is just weird. i can agree he has the potential to be number three one day (he will never be better than aj green or cj)but given his poor route running and mental side it's safe to say he's more around the #10 rank.

I might add that players like Andre Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, and Dwayne Bowe are amazing and are hindered by despicable passing games and would put up equal if not better #'s than Dez on Dallas. Dre--despite injury and shoddy QB play--still avg'd 100/yds a game last season and was 2nd in the league in rec yds:wow Still, I'll look past his temper tantrums and T.O.-complex and give him the benefit of the doubt

IMO it's not THAT much of a stretch to call Dez a type 5 receiver given the numbers he put up last year and so far this year.

Another thing to that pisses me off about Garrett is the 'robot' persona he puts on after every game. Atleast admit you're fucking pissed off after a loss but instead he rehashes the same old cliches. Atleast show that you have some sort of pulse

It only works for Belichek because he has three rings.

being homer is fine, but cj, fitz, welker, decker, roddy white, reggie wayne, julio jones, aj green, demarius thomas, desean jackson, torrey smith are all either flat out better, far more reliable or simply have done so much more meaningful stuff than him, that saying he's number two is just weird. i can agree he has the potential to be number three one day (he will never be better than aj green or cj)but given his poor route running and mental side it's safe to say he's more around the #10 rank.

Eric Decker, really?

[HarlemHeat37]

:lmao Decker is a #3 caliber receiver, he's inconsistent and unspectacular, Dez shits all over him, tbh..

DT is a toss-up, Welker plays a completely different role..Torrey Smith is a one-trick player, Reggie Wayne is finished..

[kamikazi_player]

:lmao at butterfingers Decker being better than Dez

I have pretty much the same list as Chief Brody, but I'd put Victor Cruz over Dez imho.

[Raven]

i even forgot about brandon marshall tbh.. bottom line, dez is a nobody with almost limitless potential but until he does something meaningful (aside from having huge numbers in shootouts that end with losses) i would not call him a top reciever. Of course you could make a case for him being a top 5, but in terms of making your team win, he is not a top 10 receiver, therefore it's retarded to call him n2.

IRVING, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/dal/dallas-cowboys) wide receiver Dez Bryant (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/13215/dez-bryant) has taken some heat in the past 24 hours for two sideline rants in the loss to the Detroit Lions (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/det/detroit-lions).

But sideline audio and video released by NFL.com on Monday night, supports Bryant's assertion he was offering support to his teammates.

During the first sideline chat, when Bryant is waving his arms, he yells, "No, we can't let them do that. They playing me (expletive) up. We destroy that."


Bryant is referring to press-man coverage by the Lions, something Bryant feels he can beat with a deep pass. Quarterback Tony Romo (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/5209/tony-romo) and wide receivers coach Derek Dooley are also on the audio speaking to Bryant about watching where the safety is playing him.

After Bryant breaks through Jason Witten (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/4527/jason-witten) and Jason Garrett to speak with Romo he says, "It's over on that last one."

While kneeling down with Dooley and Romo, the receivers coach tells Bryant, "Just sit it down, don't look at Tony. Safety is coming over the top."

Dooley later adds, "It looks open but they coming over the top."

Dooley is explaining to Bryant to be careful of the safety because he presents a threat on a deep pass and that's why Romo isn't throwing passes down the field toward him.

Bryant is very animated, but he never says anything negative about individually wanting the ball. If anything, Bryant is talking about how the Cowboys can beat the Lions' deep coverage.

"We busted our ass not to win this (expletive) game," Bryant yells.

Bryant did have another animated discussion on the sidelines with tight end Jason Witten with 12 seconds to play in the game. The pair needed to be separated by defensive end DeMarcus Ware (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/8426/demarcus-ware), who at one point grabs Bryant to calm him down.

Bryant hugged Witten in the locker room after the game and everyone involved said the issues on the sidelines are nothing more than a player being passionate about trying to win a game.

"There was no anger at all," Bryant said to reporters on Monday. "Me and Witt, we laughed and smiled. We even joked about it whenever we got on the bus. Check this out. Don’t think that I know there’s not a million and one cameras out there on that field. The thing about it is, this is a football game. You can’t worry about who’s watching, who’s paying attention. It’s all about motivating, trying to get guys’ minds right and things like that. And basically that’s what it was. For the most part, that’s what it was, especially with the Romo situation. I don’t know how that came about. I got done talking to Romo, I went down to talk to Terrance Williams (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/15878/terrance-williams) and tell them, ‘You know what, they keep you like, keep killing ‘em, keep killing ‘em, keep killing me.' And so I see he broke out for how long was the touchdown? 60 yards?"

Chris Chambers had some of the most jaw-dropping catches I've ever seen too.

as did brandon lloyd.

rofl you're all over the place with your "analysis". you said he hasn't done anything 'meaningful' in terms of making his team win, but what other WR's that you listed above him have done much more?

Fitz's Cardinals haven't done anything in years, Green's BEngals have yet to win a playoff game, Jackson's Eagles suck, Marshall has never won a playoff game etc

[symple19]

I would take Jordy Nelson and Jimmy Graham (yeah, I know he's a TE) over Dez, too. Jordy's numbers are silly, especially considering he gets the best cover guy every week (and has a bunch of scrubs playing alongside at WR)

Dez has top 3 talent, but the intelligence/attitude of a spoiled teenager. He runs shit routes and takes plays off all the time. He could potentially become the best in the game, but there is no way he'll ever put in the work and shelve the me-first attitude which being the best requires, tbh

[leemajors]

with waters out for the season and that shitshow mackenzie bernadeau in there he will prob see the ball even less as Romo gets pounded into the ground

apparently you didn't notice the "either" in the post above.

[Clipper Nation]

Dez is trying to :downspin: dat shit, but we all know he's just salty and mad because he wanted more targets, tbh....

[Trill Clinton]

he didn't have to spin, NFL audio confirmed he wasn't demanding the ball.

[monosylab1k]

lol he's on audio asking for the ball, trill. The audio proves it wasn't anywhere close to as confrontational as it looked, but all the same he was demanding more touches.

[The Gemini Method]

Not a good week for Dez--guess the emphasis was put on him once he made the bold statement that he could match Megatron in the art of receiving. Then he is caught blowing up on the sidelines. Guess those anger management mandated classes didn't help. The dude is legit and like Justin Blackmon need to change (or have changed) their ways. Don't the Cowboys have a team following Dez to ensure he behaves? Hopefully he'll get it together and be the receiver he can be.

[Creepn]

Ya, that's what it looked like. As a side note, Dez seems to have really confusing body language compared to what he says :lol. That could be a SNL skit: just have someone really animated going crazy but saying really nice things. Then have him really angry but just sitting calmly.

He trolled everybody with that body language.

[BUMP]

apparently you didn't notice the "either" in the post above.

nice cop out.

everything you said is subjective and has no merit. what do you mean by they're 'more reliable'? how do you measure that? I want evidence tbh.

lulz

The Lions were bringing the safeties up and throwing cover 0 blitzes. I'd be more troubled if I had one of the more gifted receivers in the league on my team and he didn't demand the ball in that situation.

http://www.sportingcharts.com/nfl/stats/drops/2013/

sort by the column #targets caught and you'll find out dez is behind the likes of Jordy Nelson, desean jackson, cruz, roddy white, cobb, reggie wayne, eric decker, andre johnson, marshall, welker... granted, it's not the best statistic as it depends heavily on the qb play but any stat does and since the eye test is not accepted, this should do.

[monosylab1k]

tbh according to the video thats what Dez thought, then the coach told him there was a safety over the top and that he needed to run the route the play calls for. So Dez didn't read the defense or run his route properly, then wonders why he didn't get the ball :lol

[DPG21920]

Yup, I said that earlier. Dez is a beast but his route running alone keeps him out of the top 5 for sure.

[spurraider21]

calling decker better than bryant is seriously asinine

[Trill Clinton]

raven is slow

As a Cowboy hater last weekend was perfect..QB sneak to win the game..Dez,Tony, now Tom

False equivalency is the lifeblood of American public debate.

So it should come as no surprise that, in an effort to rationalize Dez Bryant's counterproductive sideline tantrums, Bryant's defenders compared the immature Dallas receiver to Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.

Celebrated white quarterbacks yell at their teammates. Why can't a black wide receiver?

The equivalency is false on multiple levels. Dez Bryant erupted on the Dallas sideline for at least 10 solid minutes. A friend of mine, a native Detroiter, was seated a dozen rows up behind the Dallas bench on Sunday. He and his friends heckled Bryant throughout Sunday's game.

"The television highlights do not accurately portray how bad his tantrum was,"said Scott Nichols, the point guard on Ball State's 1990 NCAA Sweet 16 team. "He berated dozens of teammates for what seemed like 20 minutes."

Yes, I'm aware of the video showing Bryant interacting positively with Tony Romo and an assistant coach. The video is a little more than a minute long. Problem is, it's not footage of the scenes that made news all Sunday and Monday. It's a highlight of Bryant's "good" screaming. It's the same as if I released a one-minute clip on YouTube of me eating raw vegetables and leaving out the 19 minutes of me making love to a deep-dish, meat-lover's pizza.

I eat raw vegetables. But my 30 for 30 documentary better include sit-down interviews with Ronald McDonald, Colonel Sanders and Little Debbie.

Jason Witten wasn't yelling at Bryant and DeMarcus Ware wasn't restraining Bryant because he was shouting positive reinforcement at Romo and the coaching staff. Go sell that garbage somewhere else. Dez Bryant melted down Sunday, even if he littered his tantrum with a few positive words.

Brady and Manning have never done what Bryant did Sunday. Not even close. What Bryant did was akin to the tantrum thrown by my former high school teammate Jeff George when Falcons coach June Jones pulled him from a game in 1996. You remember that tantrum? And surely you remember the national media shredding George for doing it. You may also remember that Jeff George is and was white.

Like Dez Bryant, Jeff George was supremely talented. He'd thrown for 4,143 yards and 24 touchdowns in 1995. He'd been the overall No. 1 draft pick in 1990 and the NFL Rookie of the Year.

George's critics questioned his maturity and leadership ability. They wondered if his mental approach would undermine his chance of capitalizing on his immense physical gifts. No one, to my knowledge, ever intentionally or unintentionally insinuated there was a racist double standard causing the national media to criticize Jeff George. As the national president of the Jeff George Fan Club, I would've heard about this. It did not happen.

Honestly, I'm a bit surprised it didn't happen. Well, maybe not. George berated his head coach before the addiction to false equivalencies swept across America like crack cocaine in the 1980s. Politically partisan cable TV ushered in this epidemic. Bill O'Reilly is the Avon Barksdale of false equivalencies. Sean Hannity is Prop Joe.

But I shouldn't pick on political commentators. We love false equivalencies in the sports world, too. Remember in 2006 when the Tennessee Titans had a contentious separation from quarterback Steve McNair? My favorite NFL player, Ray Lewis, said the Green Bay Packers and the Indianapolis Colts would never treat Brett Favre and Peyton Manning the way the Titans treated McNair. Well, despite Favre's and Manning's combined seven MVP awards (McNair had one, shared with Manning in 2004), the Packers booted Favre in an ugly dispute and the Colts pushed Manning aside for Andrew Luck.

At least Ray Ray compared McNair to other quarterbacks. For the most part, comparing Dez Bryant to quarterbacks is nonsensical.

He plays receiver. It's a different lane and a different role from playing quarterback. Quarterbacks call plays. They bark instruction. They lead huddles. The very nature of the position dictates that quarterbacks yell at the line of scrimmage and occasionally yell at teammates. It's the job.

Dez Bryant isn't a quarterback. He's not a leader. He's a talented, high-maintenance wide receiver. He's so high-maintenance that a year ago Jerry Jones employed a team of "advisors" to help Bryant function as an adult. Jones gave Bryant a curfew and a set of guidelines pertaining to strip clubs and whatnot.

Dez Bryant isn't Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees or Russell Wilson. Dez Bryant is a typical, me-first NFL receiver diva, cut from the same cloth as Terrell Owens, Chad Johnson, Randy Moss and Keyshawn Johnson, sprinkled with a heavy dash of Pacman Jones. This is no secret. Diva receivers believe emotional sideline tantrums and elaborate, hey-look-at-me gimmicks are an extension of their "passion" for the game. They can't recognize the fine line between Ray Lewis' inspiring pregame dance and ranting for no good reason. Diva receivers are oblivious to the fact that offense is the intellectual side of football and defense is the emotional side.

Jerry Rice is the gold standard because he beat defenders with his head. Bryant won't catch Calvin Johnson by screaming.

Now I happen to like Dez Bryant. I like underdogs. I root for people from tough backgrounds who have emotional issues. I want to see them overcome. Bryant won't overcome if we lie to him and rationalize his obvious errors. He was clearly out of bounds on Sunday. He was too caught up in the one-on-one duel he was having inside his head between himself and Megatron.

Detroit QB Matt Stafford has no other passing options so he forced the ball to Megatron regardless of coverage. It's one of the reasons the Lions should've lost despite Johnson's breathtaking performance. With a more balanced approach, Dallas put 30 points on the board despite Tony Romo not being particularly sharp. Bryant wanted to go catch for catch with Johnson. It didn't happen. And Bryant demonstrated why Jerry Jones treats him like a child.

Some people have blamed Dallas coach Jason Garrett for not commanding enough respect to silence Bryant on the sideline. Garrett is powerless in his relationship with Bryant.

Bryant is the owner's pet project. Jones, who doubles as the team's GM, drafted Bryant. Jones has invested millions of dollars in Bryant. Jones paid for an elite baby-sitting team. Having watched his baby act like a baby and create the non-composed environment that powers fourth-quarter collapses, Jones defended his baby after the game.

And then the false equivalencies started rolling in via Twitter, radio and TV. I get the temptation. False equivalences are fun and easy. They're a good tool for defending someone you love and respect. There was a time in the 1990s when I would've excused Jeff George for hiding on the grassy knoll and assisting Lee Harvey Oswald by saying: "No one was mad at AC for driving O.J. all over the 405 and tying up traffic."

I'm as guilty as anyone. But let's stop the nonsense. We're only hurting Dez Bryant. We're baiting him to resist maturity and evolution. We're reinforcing bad habits. He apparently thinks the best way to handle a frustrating situation is by erupting emotionally. That's no good. It leads to trouble. He won't equal or surpass Calvin Johnson until he channels his emotions properly.
