Dez Nuts

I wanted to editorialize a bit about talented, second year wideout, Dez Bryant and his off-field troubles.

When he was chosen by Dallas in the draft two years ago there were already many who worried about his attitude off-field. He was reported to have a problem with practices and some of the other basic things about getting ready for games.

The talent was not a question, which was proven when he returned a punt for a touchdown in one of his first games as a Cowboy. He just seemed a little lazy and a little cocky.

In his two years, there have been a number of off-field incidents which are starting to put him in the 'Pacman' Jones category. There are issues of citations for wearing his pants too low at a mall and a couple reports about him not paying for jewelry. Most recently, he has apparently been involved in an altercation of some kind at a Miami club which may or may not have involved the rapper, Lil' Wayne. No police report has been revealed however.

Regardless, these problems keep adding up and what that means is trouble for The Dallas Cowboys.

I want nothing more than Dez to become one of the most elite wide receivers in the league, he has the potential. I can't even put him in the same category as T.O. because T.O. does put a lot of time into working out and preparing, he just has a monsterous ego. Dez doesn't put in the work he should and he's causing incidents off-field, which like I said earlier, puts him moreso in the 'Pacman' Jones category.

He is young, I will give him that, and I can only hope that he sees the light sooner rather than later, because right now, Dallas needs him.
