I consider "50-50 balls" a throw when the WR is covered. Rodgers has been throwing those for the last 6 years because our WRs struggle to get separation and MMs scheme doesnt help. Look at James Jones, he made a living off catching 50-50 balls from ARod. We literally talk about this issue every season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he stuggled in that area last year even with Rodgers. Again, remember that Jordy is 32 and Dez is 29, that's a BIG difference in terms of the life of an NFL wide receiver. We aren't comparing Jordy at 29 vs Dez at 29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick_gb Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I'm for bringing in Dez Bryant but NOT at the expense of cutting Cobb. Cobb / Graham / Bryant / Adams is a lot better then Adams / Graham / Bryant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just typed a huge thing and it went away. I haven't seen that much evidence that one is breaking down faster other than the use of age as the gauge. Dez has signs of slowing too. Just as much maybe even Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spilltray Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Physically ability isn't the #1 trait for Packers WR. If it was, Janis would play over Allison. Dez has never been a good route runner but because of pure physical ability he could generally be successful running what he's good at. That is not something good for Green Bay. This is why Dez game doesn't age like Jordys could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as much maybe even I think he's better equipped for it though as a bigger more physical WR. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spilltray Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Also throwing to covered WR isn't 50-50 balls. That term means jump and fight for it in the air. Most WRs are covered but because Rodgers is precise that window is tiny. Part of that precision however requires the WRs to be precise. Dez never has been or will be.

He's more equipped to go up over and through people for footballs. I totally agree. I don't think Rodgers throws those balls often enough to matter. Unless he's gonna change for him.

Brit Pack Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 The fact is that we don't have Jordy on the roster. Having someone of that capability but younger and a little different that we don't have to trade for is very tempting. What is not to like?

I think it demystifies the idea that Dez is a limited route runner who is just a jump ball specialist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think people know what is meant when you say they can't run the whole tree though. Everyone in the NFL can run every route... Can you do it consistently and accurately over and over. You can certainly find him running every route and getting open after 100 games in the NFL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen enough Dez Bryant in my life all that way since OkState. No highlight tape is gonna make me forget all that. Not a highlight reel. Just an evolution of his play and what he has done with Dak. It reminds of what Jordy was with Hundley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
