Why did the patriots pass on dez bryant???

[MJFtheGenius]

yea didnt look like he had aligator arms this year . the guy is unreal .

Yea actually it did and it cost the cowboys a possible win

against minnesota

[Rod1010]

the one where dropped the pass? I rarely saw him shy away from contact . i mean even the best receivers tend to shy away *Randy moss*

[MJFtheGenius]

uh well yea he did and at the most crucial part o the game and he could not suck it up and catch the ball

Well clearly the Cowboys shouldnt have drafted him

[big0mar]

Dumbass got suspended for lying about something that wouldn't have even gotten him in trouble.

His father pimped out his mother.

The guy is a ticking timebomb.

[pavyracer]

Patriots don't pick offensive players in first round. Look at Brady. He wasn't a first round pick.

[azgrabi1]

Good question.

[36mafia]

pats could use him but they dont need him

def not worth the money anyhow

[MJFtheGenius]

this guy does not get it..

isnt Dallas 2-7 this year??

[MJFtheGenius]

If you really think about it all of Dez Bryants catches come in garbage time beside in the Giants game

[Rod1010]

Still dumb to pass on top 3 talent . i would of loved seeing brady to dez.

[Rod1010]

i could care less about the cowboys right now im a dez fan that watched him at okc state.

[MJFtheGenius]

lol hater .

[Rod1010]

lollll angry ppl around here . must be giants fans.

[MJFtheGenius]

no I am a Cowboys fan have been for over 20 years.

[MJFtheGenius]

Its just clear to me when you are 21rst in ppg as on offense and you are 2-7 overall you probably could have used that draft pick for a different position.

[rsnnh12]

Exactly. It's a god-damned FACT that he cheated, and was punished for it. Period.

So, is telling the truth about someone, even when you admire them, asinine?
Or, is it putting your favorite team on blast that made me "asinine?"

Fool, stop.

Except videotaping signals was never against the rules, so no, it wasn't cheating. If it was, please find the rule that says it was... I'll wait.


Dez is no doubt a great receiver, but there were questions about his character coming out of college. If he was just a hard-worker with that talent, he would've been drafted top 5.... Pats weren't the only team with concerns about him.

That being said, so far this year, he has been a great player and teammate. I hope he turned himself around and doesn't end up like so many of the jokers in the NFL who ruin their careers with drugs and violence. He seems like a good guy... I hope he keeps it up

[Rod1010]

dez isnt even starting yet and he'll end up with 1000 yards and 10tds and already 2 punt returns for tds.

[killawookie]

because the pats suck

Typical Jets fan

Tick, tick, tick.

Hell, you've gotten in more trouble with SBR this year than he has with the NFL. haha! And you aren't even in the running for Rookie MVP of SBR, either.

Why are you defending Belicheck when HE ALREADY APOLOGIZED.
Does Belicheck seem like the kind of guy to admit to something he doesn't think is wrong? Not even close. He admitted it.

Taken from some newspaper:

From the NFL's Constitution & Bylaws (article 9): "Any use by any club at any time, from the start to the finish of any game in which such club is a participant, of any communications or information-gathering equipment, other than Polaroid-type cameras or field telephones, shall be prohibited, including without limitation videotape machines, telephone tapping, or bugging devices, or any other form of electronic devices that might aid a team during the playing of a game."

the penalty


Belichick was fined $500,000 - the maximum allowed by NFL rules - and the Patriots penalized $250,000, plus the loss of their first-round draft pick.

[justwinthisone]

My cousin is a pats fan and he keeps saying its cuz brady had moss???... they passed on him twice! top 3 talent i think they outsmarted themselves. Brady to Dez woulda been unreal.

Reason #1 is because they do not want to pay him big money that he will eventually get.

Reason #2 is because it does not matter who Brady has at WR he will find someone open.

Reason #3 is because the Pats needed D more than O

Do you need more reasons than that?

It didn't aid them during the game... they used it after games. Its no different than using the NFL Films footage (which every team gets right after the game) and looking at the signals from that. Literally, the exact same thing.

Belichick apologized for being a distraction, and for ignoring the commissioners memo. He didn't break any rules, and according to the rules, he was in the right. He wanted to move on from it, which he did

[Grits n' Gravy]

would loved to have seen dez as a pat and i remember him saying after meeting with bill he was hoping they would pick him. only pats know why they passed on him, but mccourtey is looking like he will be a great cb for years. actually pats had a great draft: mccourtey, spikes, cunningham, gronk, hernandez and the punter are all playing major roles. taylor price looked good in camp and will likely be off practice squad next season and contributing. if tate doesn't seem to develop into a consistent deep threat they have the picks to play with and go after an aj green. would expect to see them look for a rb, tackle to learn the ropes from light, de in case warren can't recover from injury if there is a draft in april.

That doesn't sound like it's worth $500,000 fuggin' dollars. What you wrote is worth about tree fiddy. $500,000. But he didn't break any rules. Hmmm.

Done. There is no helping you out of your Patriot Fever.

EDIT: What you wrote would have more weight if he fought the charges the whole way, and didn't pay the half a million dollars. Half a million dollars. And his team paid a quarter of a million. That's money.

[Wreckloose]

I can't believe people are blaming Dez for the Cowboy's record. I forgot rookies are supposed to lead their teams to Super Bowls. Their first game they just kept throwing it to him down the line of scrimmage and hoping he could break a tackle and run for five yards. Took them half a season to realize he could go deep.

[slacker00]

Didn't the release of Randy Moss answer this question? It just isn't worth the trouble. That's not how NE wins their rings anyway.

The Pats got #90 overall from Dallas (Taylor Price) in exchange for moving down 3 spots from #24 (Bryant) to #27 (McCourty).

It's schrewd draft strategy. NE got 2 players for the price of 1. If McCourty & Price end up with productive careers, Pats win.

[jollyoscars]

the pats dont have a brain. duhhhhhhhh

[tyler36]

Don't get me wrong, the guy is sick for sure, but as good as he is how is his TEAM doing this season? You can be the best player in the world accomplish this accomplish that but when it comes down it they ask, how many championships did he win. I mean don't get me wrong, way early in his career to say he's not gonna win a championship but he won't this year thats for sure.

[antifoil]

as a cowboys fan i am glad they passed on him. other than bradford and suh(and maybe colt mccoy still to be determined) he was the best player in the draft.
