If you were in charge - Taco or Crawford?

[Whyjerry]

Lots of debate on both players. With the draft and FA, Dallas is stacked on the DL. It will be a struggle to make the final roster. In my opinion Crawford and Taco are nearly the same player, meaning a DE with some ability to play inside. Crawford seems to have made the full conversion to DE.

We know what Crawford is at this point. Try hard guy, limited production, decent run stopper, below average pass rusher, good leader, injury prone...

We really don't know what Taco is. Attitude issues, flashes real ability, injury prone, Social Media headache, first rounder that was supposed to take a couple years, then ???...

I doubt Crawford makes the roster given all the depth but if he does doesn't he hurt Taco's development? With Quinn on a 1 year deal and Gregory being a question mark, isn't this the year to see what we have in Taco. Get him snaps at DE and DT and see what we have.

I vote for Taco over Crawford and it is not even a close decision. What do you all think?

Dallas isnt thinking long term. Today matters. They will sooner keep both. Carrying useless players is important to this team if a jersey sells or helps with tickets.

Is there a third option?

From what we've seen so far, Crawford appears to be the better player (and with a better attitude given the disciplinary action the team took last year). I hope Taco take's a step forward this year, but I'm skeptical.

I'd take Crawford over Taco in an instant as Taco has never shown a thing...

Taco doesn't have it. He's a BUST. No use wasting reps on him.

Play Crawford and Robert Quinn interchangeably at right DE while giving rookie Joe Jackson some exposure.

The thought of Crawford getting consistent snaps at RDE gives me a rash.

Crawford can play some DT. We aren't "stacked" at DT. Crawford would be the logical choice here for those reasons and for the simple fact that while overpaid a bit, he's at least somewhat productive.

Charlton has done pretty much zero.

that might be true, but at least hes solid. Taco is still up and down.

 

[Big_D]

Crawford is better and you can move him around. I'm not a fan of either, but if it comes down to one or the other it's Tyrone.

Crawford is miles ahead of Taco as a player. He might be the most underrated player on Dallas.

 

[cowboyec]

Crawford...and it ain't even close.

It's an absolute waste of snaps. Crawford is a solid rotational player inside. But he's a total liability at RDE. He brings nothing there and the team is playing with one arm tied behind their back having him there.

Crawford is less than solid in my eyes and getting older. Taco hasn’t even gotten a full chance. Now I now his attitude and injury have been the issue but do we really know what the guy is yet. End of 2017 and the first couple games last season the guy was good. I don’t want them to hurt his development for the likes of Crawford is my main point.

Taco has shown burst,. Something Crawford hasn't.

Neither has ty craw lol

Totally agree. Beasley and Crawford are very overrated players around here.

 

[glimmerman]

Crawford may get suspended. So if Taco is available and Crawford isn’t.

Yep
Let camp determine who stays and goes
My guess is both stay

That would be my guess as well. Guess, not preference.
