Dez Bryant Signing With Saints

papz · 11-07-2018, 08:37 AM

Can't be worse than what we've been rolling out there at 3/4. He should know he's not coming in there to be the guy and the main focus is the Superbowl. I think he'll succeed and do well.

I'm thinking it's possible that the Dallas environment brought out the diva and drama in him. It has a way of doing that. Hoping he shows flashes of that Oklahoma State monster that dominated the Big 12.

Anyway, welcome aboard Dez! And, just for the record, I thought it was a catch!!!

I hope we see the motivated and professional Dez. I hope he sees the opportunity placed before him and embraces the moment. As much as a dislike him for his previous off field antics, sideline immaturity and lazy route running, he definitely has an elite skill set. I'd love to eat crow and be happy we made this move.

Dallas is a joke. Much like New York (or New England on the opposite side of the spectrum), environment is a Huge part of behavior. Especially when maturity is an issue. I continue to put my faith in the NO Brass. And this year, they seem to have even more of an edge than ever. So, Bring It!!

So, does this mean we are admitting that Meredith was a 10 million mistake?

Yes and no. Meredith gave Saints an option; he also was an expensive smoke screen for the early rounds to draft a receiver (i.e. Tre'Quan Smith) that was needed to open things up for Thomas...

The reports of Meredith's inability to block, especially the speculation that it's based on willingness and/or effort, is what is most disturbing about the Meredith experience...

My cautious optimism and uneasiness of this signing is adding someone with his publicized history to the locker room while things are going well...

Interesting, first I've read on that.

Not excited by this acquisition. Hope Dez play and character win me over.

I pray that winning cures some of his previous issues.

On a side note: Dallas had several clauses in his previous contract which included-
No consumption of alcohol, No attending strip clubs, Attending weekly counseling sessions, and a full-time security team to take Bryant to and from practice and escort him when he is out after midnight.
The burning question is has he outgrown the need for NFL Guardianship?

Jesus... That's more than a little concerning.
