@Raul didn't ask if Dez was a bust now. He asked if he is still elite.

So , is he still on the Antonio Brown, Julio Jones level? Not in a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately league.

Do I expect him to get back to that level when he is fully healthy and develops some chemistry with Prescott or Romo comes back? Absolutely

If the QB is hyper conservative he isn't going to look great, doesn't matter how much talent the WR has, he is dependent and this is hurting Dez's perception

You can't tell me that Dak can find Beasley everywhere but not Dez.

You can easily put Dez in the same creative situations that Beasley is in.

Other teams do it all the time with their star receivers, B.

A lot is on Dallas but at what point does it fall on Dez ??

Beasley is given underneath routes because teams are focusing on not letting Williams get over the top or Dez get in 1 on 1 matchups.
Dax is making the right reads and hitting mainly checkdowns and what the defense gives him.
This is a rookie QB who has to keep the defense off the field and play hyper conservative eat clock.

Dez is going to take a hit, he is a big play guy who is getting the best defenders, so no the arguments against him makes no sense at all
