Dez Bryant indicates he'll be returning to NFL 'soon'

I do not like Bryant, however, I’d say not one word if he were to come here.
I’m guessing that you’d find a few colorful adjectives the first time Brady needed to burn a timeout because he lined up in the wrong place.

I can’t imagine that his conditioning would be on par with what we need here either, considering that he last played football in December/maybe early January, but that’s obviously just speculation.
 
A 10% difference matters.

Cordarelle Patterson, Randall Cobb, and Adam Humphries had a catch rate about 10 percentage points above Julio Jones, Adam Thielen, and Antonio Brown last season.

You can't judge catch rate in a bubble, players who are regularly targeted farther down the field have lower catch rates because the passes thrown to them are necessarily completed at a lower rate. It's no surprise that the highest catch rates belong to running backs and tight ends. Bryant, meanwhile, has traditionally been a downfield player.
 
You think that 10 completions per 100 passes is irrelevant? Please show me the 55% completion QB who is as effective as the 65% qb.
10% is an enormous difference.

10 passes and 5 receptions = 50%
10 passes and 6 receptions = 60%

1 additional reception per 10 passes stands between 50% and 60%. Splitting peas is not my thing.

I never said it was. I said saying Bryant catch rate is no worse than Hogan’s is incorrect.

In fact it is because you are the one who brought up catch rate and said there was no difference. 6 vs 5 is 20% more.

Yes, the minute he would become a bone head, I’d start yelling. The only reason I said this about him is of our dire need of receiving
