Do You Agree With Drew About WR's? - Dallas Cowboys Forum

WPBCowboysFan · 01-04-2013

He says:

#1 - Dez
#2 - Harris
#3 - Smiles
#4 - Beasley
#5 - Otree

He also says Dez and Harris are the only 2 he would bring back next year.

Says Harris is a player and just needs more opportunity.

He was critical of Smiles for not being physical. Not protecting his QB by being aggressive in keeping the DB's from getting the ball or intercepting it. Not real great on running to the ball consistently. Overpaid and doesnt produce in accordance with his salary. And he's hurt all the time.

I pretty much agree with Drew, but wouldnt mind seeing Beasley come back.

I don't listen to Drew (Pearson). He is a terrible media guy.

He annoys me to no end. He isn't a Keyshawn Johnson bad, but he is annoying.

Miles is still #2, but I agree they should part ways. Bring back Dez, Harris and Beasley, send the rest packing. Go out and sign a decent FA to play wide and let Harris start in the slot next season.

As for Miles, they just can't release him, but get the best offer for him.

Does someone have the specifics of Miles conract? I believe he is going to cost us around 9M on the cap next year...? I'm on board with cutting Rat, Free, but i'm not sure we can afford to let Austin go. What do we do if Bryant goes down, just run with Harris and Beasley?

Aven8 · 01-04-2013

I agree.

Miles most of the time this year was MIA.

Hard to argue Drew's logic. I could take or leave Beasley. I would leave Tree. Miles costs too much for what you get.

Oh_Canada · 01-04-2013

Miles makes me want to puke.

I really don't think his ankle was even that badly sprained against the Skins. He jogged back and forth from the locker room and when needed to get back in the game he did. That tells me the guy doesn't care much about his team and the game he plays.

I think Miles is still a very dangerous receiver and am not willing to annoint Harris just yet. Give him more opportunities, sure, but let's not get rid of a known commodity on one who hasn't proved himself over the long haul just yet.

What you said.

He was another player coming out of the 2007 season where the team looked like it was going to turn the corner only to slam headlong into the wall by over-evaluating their upside.

Marion Barber was another of those guys we over paid and paid the price on him as well. All of these guys were low draft picks or un-drafted players that we over paid and wrongfully elevated expectations and salary cap because of one good season.

I'll leave Romo's name off my list because that name obviously belongs on the list, too.

OOps..well, there you have it.

Him, too.

I'm done with Miles Austin... I'm no longer defending him either. It's a wrap for him as far as I'm concerned.

Miles is not #2 and he has progressed more and more every year away from that #2 slot. I thought after that one maybe 2 years, he has been a disappointment and is way overpaid. It is about time we let him go and if someone offers us something for him great but with his current contract, I am not sure.

Yeah, I agree we keep Dez, Harris, and Beasley, but I would keep Coles to see what we have in him, after that everyone else gone

Well, I certainly agree on Dez and Harris. Both can play.

Not sure if I would not at least bring back some of the others though.

He did a 180 on Dez pretty fast once everyone saw the truth about his ability, huh?

I dont care for what he thinks

Maybe that is because Dez came around 180.

Everybody saw the potential. Now he's showed he can play up to it.

Drew has been pretty much on target about Dez when Ive heard him comment this year.
