Can Jonathan Mingo finally develop into a reliable fourth option for the Cowboys?

[LouBrown]

He would be now if he could stay healthy.

They love Turpin though so that #4 spot isn't really available anyway.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

No.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Lamb-Pickens-Flournoy-Turpin are the top four.

The Cowboys' confidence in Mingo is best summed up by the fact they talked Marquez Valdez-Scantling out of near retirement to sign here.

 

[AstroPilota]

I just don't see the #4 WR getting much action in this offense, unless there's a significant injury to one of the other guys. Still, I have more faith in Mingo that Turpin as a WR.

 

[shabazz]

Anthony Smith will be WR #3 very soon.

Flournoy and Mingo can fight for #4

This message will self destruct in 3...2...

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Occasionally a team will spend a draft pick and you’ll know in that moment it was wasted

A 2nd for Schoonmaker, a 4th for Lance, a 4th for Mingo. What was the best case scenario in any of these? sometimes, this board is right in their gut reactions

 

[Stash]

I may be the only one, but I’m curious whether or not Denzel Mims shows anything during camp.

 

[Nova]

I'd much rather have 35 yr old Barkevious Mingo, who has been out of the league since 2021, on this roster

No Offense but....

 

[links18]

Ah, the offseason.....

Lamb-Pickens-Flournoy-Turpin are the top four.

Not to mention they asked him for a pay cut, on his entry level contract.

 

[gtb1943]

I see no signs of him being anything let alone important

He would be the #3 even if he was the only WR on the team

 

[JoeKing]

Is the fourth option ever considered reliable? I'd say it's rare.

 

[zrinkill]

No

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

A big fat no.

3 years in and nothing...not even a sign of improvement.

Big mistake. Lost a valuable 4th round pick for no reason at all

 

[Coogiguy03]

If he actually got the ball coming his way who knows what he could be, not enough balls here to come his way

 

[DoctorChicken]

Nope. Stranger things have happened, but in my opinion, no.

He’s a bust. He couldn’t do anything on a desperate Carolina team. He hasn’t done anything here.

In a 3 year career he has made approximately 0 splash plays at a position where splash plays are normal. Like, it was easy for me to see Flournoy was going to potentially be a player because he pretty quickly started making those splash plays you want to see in a developing young WR.

Mingo has done jack.

He’s a good run blocker at least.

He’ll be cut by the end of camp, or maybe traded for a 7th round pick swap.

In 14 games for the Cowboys, Mingo has 6 receptions on 21 targets for 71 yards. That's a 28.5% catch rate.

Meanwhile, Turpin has 70 catches on 110 targets (63.6% catch rate) for 952 yards and 7 TDs. I don't get why people are so quick to wanna pull him on the field.
