Over the past two years, Dez Bryant was touted as the next Michael Irvin in Dallas, but after several poor performances and problems off the field, Dez Bryant is finally gaining some confidence. Not only is Dez gaining confidence his quarterback is beginning to believe in him more and more.“I said this a while ago, he just continues to grow each year, each week and each month through the experiences of the game and things of that nature,” QB Tony Romo said. “He continues to become a better receiver, and he’s continuing to work at it really hard and he’s continuing to get better.”Dez Bryant has reeled in 21-of-28 targets for 200 yards and two touchdowns the past two games.With a 28-11 target advantage over Miles Austin the past two weeks, it seems clear that we’re seeing a No. 1 receiver emerge for Dallas.

IRVING, Texas The evidence keeps rolling in: The gap between the intellect of "teacher" Jason Garrett and the education of his "students" is massive especially when the pop quizzes that need to be passed are represented by Dallas Cowboys opportunities in opponents' territory.
