Idk how old you are, but for the 2012, 13, and 14 seasons. He was one of the best, if not the best WR in the League. It is hard to compare players across different times, but look at his peers in those years. It is hard to pick a #1 but he is Top 3 during his prime.
@Real_Beaky top 3 wrs during dez's prime Calvin Johnson, Antonio brown , Andre Johnson honorable mentions that were also better than Dez during his career Brandon Marshall, demaryius Thomas,Julio jones......every wr I named played during dez's time and all had better careers and were overall better wrs
Explain how going 8-8 for 3 straight years saved Garrett. He had connections and Jerry really wanted it to work out with someone who is basically family. Any other coach would've been fired.
Yeah it's not like by the rule at the time he didn't catch it. I'm sure you blame your 49ers losing to the Chiefs on the "script" too. Loser mentality.
@@Zack_410you obviously dont know what the script is. Just shut up. I’m not a 49er fan or a Dallas fan. The NFL has a script on who they want to win certain games. They damn sure didn’t want Marshawn lynch to score that touchdown for the Seahawks that year because of how he did interviews. They don’t want a certain demographic or a specific team to make it if they have tv ratings they want to fulfill. Relax and shut up
I remember calvin had a catch against the bears that was ruled incomplete. Kinda similar to this one. BS call coming from a packers fan, refs have wayyy too much impact on games
Even if it was ruled a catch there was no stopping Rodgers from going down the field and winning the game anyway so in the end it doesn’t really matter ngl
The next offseason, basically months after this game he got a $70 million contract that included $45 million of guaranteed money and a $20 million signing bonus.
@@tokekage8634 he saved you from being obsolete ? 🤣💀💀 i don’t think any 1 reciever can stop a team from being trash look at Vikings last year look at Washington look at jets look at bears all got great WR1 and ain’t do nothing tf you even talking about your guys defense was top 12 almost all of dezs career not including a stacked O Line for years got demarco Murray coming in looking like LT 🤣🤣 and romo was a top 12 QB his whole career and not including a top 3 TE in Jason witten do some homework sonny you can act dumb if you want
Man, speaking as a fan who was born in the 80s. Lived thru all the glory 90s days. My heart and Fandom for this team died when they called a no catch....😢
As a life time Dallas fan he speaking 🔊 facts he saved Romo alot.. this was one of our best team in a long ⌛️ time other then the Emmitt and deon years
Nah, he was just a perfect fit for Romo. He dipped significantly after Romo left because Dak throws to the open man, not the jump ball. Where as Romo could throw a perfect jump ball where he gave Dez best chance to catch it. Dez was an average to below average route runner, that's why he wasn't successful once his physical skills started to regress.
I know wym I actually live here and yes EVERYBODY AND THEY MAMA praised Dez he kept Romo relevant longer than he needed to be seriously whoever disagree you dumb
His no catch was sweet justice when viewed through the eyes of a Lions fan Cause if you want to talk about change then you gatta look at the lions cause that happened to dez the year of the calvin Johnson rule, of the bullshit complete the process of the catch and that happened against dallas So to see that happen to them after it happened to us was just so sweet
@@gabrielceballossr4052it’s was a Liz Frank break that ended his career. He never recovered from that. He already lacked speed and when he lost his 1 vs 1 explosion he was done. Don’t blame it on Jerry Jones.
@@Hopealliswell6054but he still got open and made jump ball plays don’t let the NFL he can’t separate anymore get in your head last seen in uniform in Baltimore he was balling
It was a catch… but - there was 4:30 mins left in the game & GB didn’t punt one time in the 2nd half. Reason Dallas didn’t get the ball back!!! Talk bout That Part 😤
That was fire. Telling jerry him negotiating a contract with him is like him trying to guard him..that’s not what Dez do. Jerry was trying to finesse him.
He didn't catch. And even if he did, Rodgers had plenty of time to go down the field and score. So whether or not he caught it is as irrelevant as can be.
@@TwotoneTony-xb4gd still had a huge impact on the team, and was a top tier receiver in those years. A player doesn’t need to be a hall of famer for me to appreciate what they did for my lifelong favorite team.
@@TwotoneTony-xb4gd only 41 receivers have 75 touchdowns or more in nfl history…and dez is one of them….that’s pretty damn good but you can continue to hate haha doesn’t change anything
Hey Genius, You do know that whatever you sign for ( especially signing bonus & guaranteed money), UNCLE SAM ( U.S. Government-IRS) automatically takes 40-50% up front, before you see any of that. Then you have STATE, COUNTY, and LOCAL ( if you live within a metropolitan area) taxes that expect to get their cut as well. So when you do the math, a 10 yr, 100 mil contract, with only 20 mil guaranteed, AND NO SIGNING BONUS, isn’t really a lot, compared to a contract with 45 mil guaranteed, and a 20 mil signing bonus. 🤔🤷🏾🙄
Anyone who mentions taxes when thinking about making money is so ridiculous. Everything is taxed. More money you make more you get who the fuck cares that it’s taxed. It’s taxed at $10 and it’s taxed at $100 million
@@Birdman117 I don't think so. People have specialized skills. Dez in contact negotiations is like Jerry at CB. They'd both be in a position to get embarrassed by a guy much better at the craft
Sounds like you missed the point. He aint the best person to negotiate his own contract, same way Jerry can't cover him because he aint the best person for the job.
Wow that story gave me a new level of respect for Dez, can you that Jerry was a shark in the negotiating room and he didn't stand a chance, he believed in himself and moved on.
I didn't say Romo was bad. He was clearly right behind the elite Qbs of his time. I was pushing back against the comment that he made Dez. Romo had 2 elite receivers in his career. Owens and Dez. Witten was an elite TE. Austin was above average. If Romo had the ability to make receivers he would have made more. In fact if you look up the stats, Romo had his best stats when Dez was at his peak. It seems that Dez helped Romo more or at the least it was a mutual benefit.
@@JasonJones-vk8rl lol. So only 1 person was responsible for the postseason trip. Has absolutely nothing to do with the fact Jerry Jones sucks at being a GM
@@JasonJones-vk8rlCap. Romo wasn't elite by any means but he good enough to win important games. Yes Romo was a choke artist but it was more Jerry and that organization as a whole than anything. It's obvious at this point; Cowboys are just not a winning organization anymore and won't be for a really long time.
Zero. Because the Packers would've marched right back down the field the next drive and taken the lead back. There was 4 minutes left and the Packers offense was flawless the second half. The Cowboys were losing that game regardless.
Dez was one of my favorite players and it sucks that they overturned that catch and his career didn’t end how I thought it would. That man was different in his prime
I’m so mad his career wasn’t a little more longer in terms of dominance cuz he was so very very good. I hate the boys but I did fuck with dez Bryant heavy
Dez was that dude. Crazy how many fans thought he was selfish and out of control on the sidelines. Still remember fans thinking he committed a crime when that Walmart was about to be released. Video gets released and it looked like a scrambled tv channel from the 80s.
Dez was a beast and that’s coming from a packers fan. But that was ruled correctly. The ball moved when he hit the ground. It was the reach and the fact he was stumbling through the catch that made it incomplete 💯
Jerry does the Texas two step with his players that's the problem. Keep your star players, pay them well, build trust and comradery, and manifest a legacy with your team.
New York fan here and I will say one thing he is most definitely one of a kind and the words he just spoke so true I actually miss seeing him on Sunday one of the best matchups I’ve ever seen with him versus Revis They’re techniques are so solid the smallest minimal mistake either one could use to get a head up on the other and that ball been caught lol 😂 I dunno how they never saw it and corrected the mistake 😂
