I don't think I've ever spoken of the "team cancer" part with him much. And probably nobody in this forum was as pro-Dez as me until this past season.
Of course not.....because to you it was passion. Dez hasn't changed one bit. At least he's consistent which is more than I can say for some others.
He had an awful year. It's one thing to have a down year if you are injured or there are other circumstances involved (like the uber awful QB play in 2015) but it's another thing entirely when you quit on routes, drop passes over and over and then also go to the sideline and rant to coaches or other players about things.
He did have an awful year bit the dropped passes were fairly uncharacteristic. I think he's so mentally weak and unstable that he loses interest when he doesn't get the ball. He's a man child with ADD. And since when did his rants start bothering you? You compared Dez to Irvin and called him a "winner."
And speaking of awful year, can you name me a reciver that didn't have an awful year?
I also have to say part of my negativity toward him is more extreme now over his post-release comments. They prove he wasn't motivated or focused on being the best player he could be and ultimately helping his team win. I also absolutely HATE the public blaming of others for "getting him released"
Nothing Dez did after his released surprised me and it shouldn't have surprised you or anyone else. You're just deflecting and avoiding potentially greater issues like the front office and quite possibly the QB. It's not so simple as "it's all Dez's fault." Part of me thinks the team got rid of Dez to keep the heat off of Dak. If other receivers played well, then your position would probably be more palatable. But they all sucked because the QB sucked.
He should have just owned up to it, said he needed to improve and take this as a learning experience and move on. Instead he acted like a child. It's HIS fault he got cut, nobody else's.
Own up to what exactly? The coach doesn't own up to shit. The owner or his off-spring doesn't own up to shit. I don't remember all of his comments but I think he did mention some of his shortcomings but by no means should he take the fall for the offense.
