When the Dallas Cowboys released Dez Bryant this past offseason, then didn’t sign a “name” receiver to replace him, instead “only” signing Allen Hurns (plus Deonte Thompson), there was much condemnation from the chattering class. When the Cowboys didn’t draft a receiver until the third round in the 2018 draft, it was deemed a disaster by some. Now, all we hear is the Cowboys receiving group is awful, the front-office gave Dak Prescott no one to work with, teams are just going to load up against the run and shut down the offense.
It’s funny, many of these same critics were spending their time previously saying Bryant wasn’t the same receiver anymore, that the Cowboys were forcing him the ball, that his drops and attitude were hurting the team.
