The plays you're talking about are all-world WR plays he's "almost" making. 95% of NFL WRs don't even "almost" catch it.
I call bullshit
The catches he's juggling and not actually catching are not some magical pass that only Dez should be able to catch. If he can get his hands on it he should come up with the ball. Period. That's what he gets paid the big bucks for! He's a WR, his job is to catch the fucking ball! Not just the pretty spirals thrown perfectly where he wants him. His job is to catch any pass that he can get his hands on regardless of which QB throws the ball to him. He doesn't get paid to catch balls only from the starting QB, he gets paid to catch the ball from any QB that throws it to him. He is ( or at least was) considered elite, he should be catching the difficult passes.
And he is getting paid in the top 95%, therefore he should be performing as such. He is not and has not since getting his new contract!
I get it, he's a competitor and wants to win, blah blah blah. But he needs to secure the ball first and foremost before trying to make a play after the catch. Until he secures the ball it's not actually a catch. Securing the ball is fundamental and where he is lacking. Not to mention his tendency to look for a flag. Fuck that, he needs to stop being a pussy, secure the ball, and leave no doubt that it was a catch instead of looking to the refs to save his ass. See the Bucks game in the end zone last season where he gave up on the catch because he thought he was fouled. Had he of shown some balls and fought for the ball it would have been a TD and we win that game.
He also needs to stop his his hissy fits. He lets the other teams corners get in his head. See Josh Norman totally taking him out of a play last year where Dez actually stops in the middle of the play to talk shit.
Don't get me wrong, I love Dez, I own his jersey, I want him to blow up the opposing teams corners. I want him to be the Dez we all know he can be, the Dez he was in his contract year. We may see a flash of what he "could be" here and there. But he is not consistent since getting paid! He needs to grow the fuck up, step up and be a leader.
I miss the old days of real football when all that mattered was who had the ball at the end of the play. When they pulled everyone off the pile whoever had the ball in their hands ultimately had possession. It didn't matter how many times the ball changed hands in the pile, or who pinched, bit, eye gouged, poked, kicked, or scratched to get the receiver to drop the ball. If you were man enough to end up with the ball at the end then you got possession. Nice and simple. That's when men were men and football was still pure smash mouth football.
