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

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens.

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.

      Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
