That's an "easy out" on an excuse about passing on Dez Bryant to defense it by some blind statement that he could only flourish the Dallas system yet not in our system due to complexity, I can't buy that at all, that's a cop out on passing on a supreme talent, that's weak if you ask me. I don't buy it.
What evidence btw, do you have that the Cowboys system is much less complex than our system due to Tony Romo ? Where are you getting this information, have you studied up on all of the complexities of each team's offensive scheme's?
Bottom line is this. I know you would never criticize your guy who never makes mistakes, that being BB, but when Dez Bryant starts lighting it up this Fall as McCourty makes a small impact on ST and maybe in the defensive backfield, don't say that "Well, Dez Bryant wouldn't do those same things in our offense due to a more complex play book" That doesn't cut it, you need a better BB excuse than something blanket like that.
First, it isn't a cop out at all. The fact of the matter is some players fit one system, but not another. Every player has different skill sets and some of these skill sets are better suited for one system than another.
Second of all, we have plenty of evidence the Pats' system is tough to learn since plenty of WRs failed to pick it up.
Third of all, it isn't exactly a secret that the Cowboys' offense is simplier. It is based on the Air Coryell offense which usually requires two WRs to run down field on most passing plays. That means Bryant will most likely have a small package of routes to learn and fewer reads. It is also a system that relies on speed over complex patterns. Romo's notorious lack of effort in the film room plays into the simplification of the plays.
Fourth, if McCourty fails, it will be a bad draft pick independent of what Bryant does. Besides it isn't just McCourty vs. Bryant. It is McCourty and whatever they got from the Cowboys (I forgot the pick) vs. Bryant.
As for my motives for my post, it isn't Belichick ball washing, it is an actual understanding of football. I know that the Pats' system is complex and the Cowboys' system is not. The Pats system requires football smarts, the Cowboys' system requires speed.
Fact is that Bryant is a boom or bust type of player. Plenty of teams with WR needs passed on the guy. Jones went for the in part because he still regrets not going after Randy Moss.
You have already blasted Belichick for blowing the pick before either player has even taken the field. It seems in your mind, Bryant is in the Hall of Fame and McCourty is a bust. So before you attack my motives, you might want to examine your's.
