Devin Funchess or Dez Bryant?

Funchess looks like he has regressed this year. I honestly believe if we replaced Funchess with Dez he would upgrade our offense. The drops Funchess has had this year is unacceptable. I think Dez would be more reliable even though he is older and doesn't have any upside. I honestly think we should consider bringing him in. Cam knows him and vouched for us to sign him when he was released. If nothing else he brings emotion to the offense which we lack at the WR position.


Am I crazy, or are you guys buying what im selling?

Cam and Dez would be terrible together for a lot of reasons.  One of which is Dez can't separate (not even as well as Funchess).  Two is because those personalities would be a ticking time bomb.

Cam is an alpha.  Dez acts like he's an alpha.  The second Dez says something, it won't be pretty.  And I'd rather not mess up the team chemistry because that is one thing we have going for us: everyone loves each other and there is never any beef.  Rivera has created the perfect locker-room.

I don't agree.  He is getting about what we want him to get.  He dropped the first pass, and after that played pretty well.  Funchess has 14 receptions on a team that is in the bottom 10 as far as pass attempts, and throws more to the running back than any other team.  And he has a total of 1 dropped pass.

 Its the other receivers that aren't doing much, either because of the offense  or their lack of production or some combination thereof.  

 

He is not a deep threat nor a superstar, but he does what he is supposed to do.  I am not sure what else we expect of him.

Dez has been a shorter version of KB for a few seasons now. Dez plays a little bigger but his hands are worse. It's crazy how some people can't see this and want to live in the past with Dez.

Also, Dez has been waiting for a certain financial contract that we or any good team won't give him. His ego has cost him a contract and teams have opted for the cheaper rookie route than to bother with Dez

      Rasheed Walker for Kris Jenkins Jr.

      well i could go on & on but i will just highlight it by saying big difference trust me from the SEC & NFL.it's honestly like comparing apples & oranges especially when you are talking about a  LT. in the NFL you are going up against the most athletic freaks of nature the world has to offer . .the NFL also has much more exotic & complicated defensive schemes than what they are used to seeing at Georgis &  finally but most importantly you have to learn how to master complex bio mechanics where the body kick steps instantly as a reaction to these world class athletes rush without really making a conscious effort it's more of a learned muscle memory  & it can take thousands upon thousands of reps to master rproper technique for a LT in the NFL especially if you are still very raw like Monroe Freeling is    ...just saying

      All that being the case or maybe being the case, we do not know Wharton’s timetable n the first place. They are being coy about it. Or maybe not. They say week to week the board says he is terminal lol and must be replaced. Who knows? It may or may not warrant a fairly drastic solution.  Walker is a bargain and we are not well stocked at OL despite recent investments. Freeling has yet to have a single padded practice. Too much speculation driving this plan IMO.

      I would really love to know who’s actually making these moves because it’s weirdly vague who’s doing the hiring and firing.
