The uncertainties and headaches that are Dez Bryant continue...and get more serious. Dez Bryant turned himself in to police yesterday and is being charged with a Class A Misdemeanor assault for pushing his half-brothers mother.
Bryant's character has always been in question, dating back to his college days, and was a reason why he slipped in the draft. The Cowboys took a gamble on him and since then he was been in trouble with police in Miami for a night club incident as well as the whole embarassing affair of owing hundred of thousands of dollars to a Jewelery and memorabilia agent. He also was involved in an altercation at a Mall for refusing to pull up his pants which is about as stupid as it can get.
Basically Dez Bryant is a child and still has not come to grip with what it takes to utilize talent and potential in the adult world. This is extremely unfortunate because Dez seemed to be making greater efforts in terms of his training and preparation for this season, which in my mind could be a break out one.
Now there's this monkey wrench. Bryant will likely be disciplined by Goodell the God of death, although I don't think charges will end up being pressed in this case and his punishment will likely end up being light. Still the Cowboys have to do something to send a message but with a player with such a fragile ego and simple brain, the Cowboys have to tread carefully. The wrong punishment could put Bryant in pouting mode and we will get the same 50% effort that has tagged along for his first 2 NFL seasons. I believe the Cowboys have to put Bryant under some sort of survailence, much like they did with Pacman but hope for better results. Maybe send a strong warning, i.e. the next incident will warrent suspensions.
The cowboys have dealt with the dilemma's of T.O. before but at least with him, their was production and consistency. Bryant has yet to produce at the level that his talent warrants. Either way the Cowboys have to truly set Bryant on the right track or they could be in deep trouble.
