Cobb is struggling

[America's Cowboy]

Fantasy Island..the Jerry Jones version in which he's the owner,HC and is able to win a SB. AND is a great scout. lol

Cobb's ypt fell off a cliff from 2015 on. Mediocre since then. That's better evidence for him being washed up than some anecdotes from the first week of camp. He's ours now. 4mil guaranteed. He'd have to be abysmal for us to cut him.

But let's have perspective here. During the minicamp, Cobb got rave reviews for his connection to Dak. Which decidedly was not in evidence in that INT.

So we've gotten varying reports on Cobb. We've got weeks to find out what he is. And if he's absolutely awful, or if we've got young guys we can't give up, we can eat his 4mil guaranteed. We did it with Carroll.

You can't forget the emergence of Devonte Adams and Jordy Nelson. Part of what may have seemed mediocrity may have been a changing role because those guys were studs that took a lot of his targets away, and likely changed the kinds of targets he got.

In any case, if he can produce in Dallas like he did in those mediocre years in Green Bay we will be fine. We didn't sign him because we needed the Pro Bowl Randall Cobb from several years ago, we signed him to replace Beasley in the slot. Of course, time will tell if he can continue to produce at that level.

My expectation for Cobb is to put up TWill kind of numbers. If he does that at WR3, the Cowboys will be fine.

40-45 receptions, 700-750 yards, 4-5 TD's.

 

[OmerV]

LMAO! And people were saying he is an upgrade from Beasley. Were gonna see about that!

We will, but it's much too early to say either way right now.

 

[erod]

Cobb has Miles Austin hamstrings. Doubtful he'll get through the season.

 

[OmerV]

I wonder if Beasley is reading about this with a big grin on his face?

If he is he's an idiot. An internet poster might be right, or he may have a false perspective, but either way it is much too early to know for sure. And that's not to mention that Beasley hasn't proven anything with his new team yet either.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Really, you guys should know this by now. Cobb used to have a QB who could hit a dime from 35 yards and now he has a QB who would be hard
pressed to hit the side of a barn. No wonder he's having issues.

LLLOOOLLL, STOP LITTLE. Killed it.

 

[jazzcat22]

Wasn’t there glowing reports earlier about him

I believe so, yes.

 

[Hennessy_King]

He’s okay when the ball is actually in his hands. But, at this point he is really struggling to get any separation. Lewis is destroying him every single time. He has no burst in his get off and looks stiff. I hate to say it but maybe he’s washed up?

Lewis is the 2nd best corner on the team. Richard is just an idiot. Put Cobb against brown or chido and he would have more success

 

[Hennessy_King]

IF Lewis is that much better...don't be shocked if we let Byron walk. Food for thought.

I would trade byron tbh and draft a cb maybe one with better ball skills. We need playmakers in the secondary not athletes.

 

[Kevinicus]

Makes sense considering the average amount a player lasts in the NFL is 2 or 3 years

This stat is misused.

That stat is due to all the guys that are barely good enough to be in the league and might stick to a team for one year or so before the next draft comes along. It's all the 6/7 round picks and undrafted free agents. Two to 3 years is not the average for guys who are talented.

The stat shows the turnover at the bottom of rosters, not that people have short careers because of health or aging.

 

[LittleD]

Yeah except Cobb wasn’t very good last year with Rodgers. His problems aren’t the quarterback. Btw, the quarterback he wanted to play with.

If the QB can't get the ball in a peach basket from 20 yards, the receiver has little change to make a decent play on it. This is the NFL.

There is not doubt that Byron will have to walk if we do indeed back up the Brinks truck for Zeke. You can't pay them all.

Seems to me that the Packers had line problems last year and Rogers was hit much more than previous years. I'm not sure Rogers was that healthy all season. Without Rogers, Cobb would have issues with finding an opening. Cobb was also hurt last year.

 

[JonesBoys]

Cobb wasn’t brought in to be the #1 receiver. He is probably the 5th option in this offense? He will be covered by less talent that Lewis since he will not be a focal point of the defense. Let’s calm down.

40-45 receptions, 700-750 yards, 4-5 TD's.

He hasn't done that since 2015.

Do you know how an average works?

 

[Jeffkills]

Man, I can’t believe Cobb’s a total washed up bum now......

This news is most unwelcome..

Im 100% ok with this

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

40-45 receptions, 700-750 yards, 4-5 TD's.

The odds of him averaging over 15 yards per catch are essentially 0%.

I'm expecting about 30-35 yards per game.

 

[Praxit]

.....nonetheless, was Cobb a upgrade from Bease? Hellzzz yes. I cant believe he is even on the team.
