[GhostOfPelluer]

How so?

He had 8 catches last season. That's a good game, not a budding career year for a decent receiver.

DL Tyrone Crawford - $10.1 million cap hit

WR Allen Hurns - $6.25 million cap hit

LB Sean Lee - $6 million cap hit

TE Jason Witten - $4.25 million cap hit

DE Taco Charlton - $2.74 million cap hit

Me personally I would move on from Crawford and Hurns or reduce salaries

 

[ShiningStar]

overall, not bad, all teams have contracts that get gunky. it happens.

not a big fan of SJ but those arent team wrenching contracts.

He had 8 catches last season. That's a good game, not a budding career year for a decent receiver.

Which spoke to lack of Linehan giving him opportunities. In those 8 catches, the man had 17.5 yards per reception and 2 touchdowns.
And he also averaged a career-best 9.2 yards per carry.

And his punt returns in the playoff game vs Seattle were spectacular as well.

He'll never be what the Rams drafted him so highly to be, but he has both ability and value in this league.

Hurns maybe a injury settlement.

Crawford was a bad deal from the beginning but a solid player when not in bar fight.

I didn’t think Witten was costing us that much.

Thought Lee was taking a pay cut to 5 million.

Taco was a rookie deal we took the gamble on.

Sorry bud, but if 14 offensive touches over five games constitutes even part of a career year then that proved my point. Fool's gold. All promise, no delivery. I mean 2 WHOLE TOUCHDOWNS! And if it were anybody else, YOU would be the first one on the small sample size bandwagon with that 17.5 YPR nonsense. You can blame Linehan if you want, but he's not the first OC to work with the guy with little to show for it.

EDIT: He played in 7 games (not 5), which actually helps my point.

not for the production

LLLOOOLLL

True story.

Look it up, you obviously need to do more homework.

Here:

Now move those goalposts!

Lol 1 year? I assumed you meant while he was with us. Yes, in one year of his career he had .5 sack more, 1 more total tackle in 1 more game played. Congrats, you got me. Oh yeah, he had a int also.

As far as my homework, I'll do yours for you because you're obviously aren't good at this. I can play devil's advocate and make a better argument for your stance if you would like me to.

The fact remains that Tavon Austin did a whole lot with few opportunities. That's "delivery". But he can't call his own number. He can't put himself on the field. There, he's at the mercy of the league's most non-creative offensive coordinator, who rightfully now sits on the outside of the league, looking in.

"2 WHOLE THOUCHDOWNS" out of eight receptions is one hell of a catch to touchdown ratio, as is 17.5 yards a catch. That's the deep threat element this team has lacked. The blame for not using it lies with Linehan.

Nothing could be worse than you not knowing what you were talking about, as you grudgingly admitted here.

And I'll add that Jack Crawford outperformed Tyron at 1/3rd of the price.

He's even valuable as a return man...

 

[JoeyBoy718]

Why is Hurns still on the roster? He's one of our worst receivers.

I would be impressed if that were 1 game's worth of production. Not 7. And if only Linehan were someone smart offensively. Like, say, Sean McVay?

 

[Stash]

He nearly took over that Seahawks playoff game on those two returns. I can understand why some might feel frustrated at the level of unrealized potential overall. But the fact is that the talent remains, as does the potential for more. He was well on his way last year prior to the injury, despite Linehan failing to use him much. If people want to hate on the guy for getting injured last year? That's on them.

Is Sean McVay the end-all, be-all expert on the matter? Or offense in general? Is that what you're trying to say? If so, I guess you missed the Super Bowl...

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Who doesn't produce on the field.

"Captain" and "workhorse" mean nothing compared to actual, on-field production.

The contract sucks and has for years. This article points out the obvious.

LLLOOOLLL

Roster spots will be at a premium and players running from the Turk, this Training Camp.

I'm saying more coaches than Linehan have had Austin only to fail to unlock the potential. You can slice it any way you want, the proof is in the production. Not just one year, but his whole career. Fool's gold until proven otherwise.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

And this is why people mention cutting Crawford and Hurns and using that same cap money to sign Gerald McCoy. Two overpaid, bad deals for one true difference maker.

I endorse this post.

some fat has got to be gutted from the team.
