Cowboys fans are getting fed up with Dez Bryant. All season long stat nerds have been all over the decline of Dez’s productivity on the field.
For Bryant, the overall production just isn’t there this season. Well, compared to his standards, it really hasn’t been there since 2015. He currently ranks 37th among 88 qualifying receivers with his 1.65 yards per route run. He’s been targeted 14 times on deep passes thrown 20-plus yards downfield, but has only hauled in two of those receptions for 57 yards.
In 2017, he is on pace to average by far the fewest yards per reception of his career (11.0) and this season will most likely be Bryant’s third year in a row that he has failed to gain 1,000 yards receiving after recording three straight seasons with more than 1,200 yards from 2012-2014. Over the last three seasons, Bryant has combined to score just 18 touchdowns, only two more than his total from just 2014 alone (16).
During today’s Cowboys-Giants game, Dez dropped a perfectly catchable pass thrown by Dak Prescott and Cowboys fans completely lost their shit.
Dez Bryant has lost all confidence. Can't even catch a pass that hits him in the facemask. He has often been the biggest reason this season has been such a struggle. Dak keeps going to him, even though he can't separate any more. And Dez keeps coming up small.

@RealSkipBayless should the cowboys trade Dez Bryant before he looses all value

Things could start getting ugly for Dez if he doesn’t start producing on the field sooner or later.
