There is nothing wrong with Cobb. He fumbled the ball once. How many times has Cooper fumbled? Not concerned.

His stock isn't falling to everyone.

He's exactly the player he's been for the last 4 years. He's not good.

So far Cooper has lit it up since his arrival here. Would you like those numbers or was the turn around last season not enough evidence?

Is predicting his “ Massive Dive” all you have? That sounds like troll like behavior.

Troll omg can't you understand the light side of life in my statement but with cold reality as the defenses coming up won't give Coop yards of separation and Dak 10 sec to throw the ball.
Guess not and I don't really care what you think as on one side you're kissing up to the Dak-Zoids here and on the other when logic hits your brain and integrity you might post something that makes sense.
Now run along and kiss up to the Dak- bullies here....

Cobb had several 1st down catches and just like Zeke and Cooper ball security issues arise occasionally. The penalties have to stop but that's for the entire team. Drive killers are the worst enemy.
Zeke this year has changed that and that ONE fumble hes had in EIGHT Games in NO, WAS NOT A FUMBLE.. bad replay and bad call..

hes had a few bad plays of late/.it happens to all players, IMO he still better in this offense than cole..cole was a one trick pony, I liked him but Cobb can play more positions and be more physical down field..

Sorry, he came out when the "I watch the games" line did. It's condescending and foolish. And unappreciated.



More "fuzzy math"?



And what role did Cobb play in that? While balls were bouncing off of his hands into the opponent's?

Beasley's been better. Unbiased numbers make that clear. You don't have to like it, but you can't ignore it either.

But I do watch the games. I know what the stats are - CB has been better BUT he is a top option in Buffalo. Drops aside, I see Cobb as being much more dynamic. Can play anywhere. Faster. More dangerous when he does catch it. Beasley was/is/will always be limited.

You didn’t add any humorous adjectives or emoji’s :)

I’m all about valid criticism as this thread reveals but you’re predicting something that hasn’t happened yet simply for click bait or incitement. That’s troll like behavior.

And depending on Daks performance I can be more supportive or critical. I’m not tied into a one horse rhetoric like you appear to be.

Cobb began the season looking like a good acquisition in offseason as a suitable replacement for Beasley. Since his injury hasn’t been as productive .

He had the second Dallas turnover contributing to the 12-3 deficit before the Cowboys scored 10 points in the final minute of 1st half to take the lead for good.

He also had a drop in NY territory the last time Cowboys had to settle for a field goal and a 16-12 lead.
We are only tied for him through this year. His performance so far indicates he won't be expensive to resign. We can also bring in another veteran next year to fill his spot, or a rookie.

How about you "run along" and spare everyone your baseless bull****?

Instead of admitting that you're completely wrong about Prescott, you've decided to try 'doubling down on dumb'.
So either:
  1. You're trolling
  2. You in fact are as dumb as you look
Pick one, on your way out the door.

Nice lame line signifying nothing.



And yet the numbers clearly show that he's been far more productive.

Save the attempted Cowboys bias for someone who doesn't pay attention to the numbers that actually matter.
Yeah, Cobb is more dynamic, but Beas is better in everything else.

Hey, I love YAC, but when rating a receiver, everything else pales in comparison to getting open and catching the ball. Beas was absolutely great at that. I didn't particularly care for him personally, and he was not worth what we'd have had to pay him, but he was definitely a quality slot WR. Weird little dude, and I wasn't sad we let him walk, but that doesn't mean he sucked.

And yet all evidence shows the exact opposite. It seems that your eyes are playing tricks on you while you're "watching the games", because you see one thing, and reality and stats show the opposite.

He sure was effective early in the season. It was like with Cooper, Gallup and Cobb defenses didn’t know who to cover. But Cobb’s impact has certainly dropped since.

I am sure Beasley appreciates the support. Send him a tweet - he will respond.

Exactly. I don't like him personally either and part of me is glad that he's gone. But that doesn't mean I ignore what he's doing while trying to make Cobb look better than he is. I'm not going to lie to myself about it or have anyone else lie to me about it either.

He is clearly more dynamic than the little rapper but the drops are a big problem. I think he is a C plus so far. Not terrible.

yeh, Cobb may be a more dynamic open field runner and a better vertical threat, but I don't think he's as consistent in terms of getting open in that slot role and catching the ball as Beasley was.
Cole gave us more in terms of underneath and east-west directions whereas Cobb can give us more north-south in terms of the more downfield range.
and he's a better punt returner than Cole, but when you think of it, we're not really getting that much big splash from any of our punt returners ..and that even includes the more speedier Austin.

But hey, we tried to re-sign Cole with an later offer, before he opted to sign a much more lucrative deal with Buffalo, and he's doing well there in his role as I've heard.
Wish him well as he was the best slot WR I've ever seen play here, imo. But he's gone and we're focusing on the current guys here.

Also keep in mind that Cobb has had 4 TDs called back because of penalties, including a recent one because of Tyrone Smith.
So it's not like he hasn't did his share of producing big plays.

Just like I said, you're caught up in your feelings and they're overriding rational thinking. Butt hurt.

not really hes had some TDs called back a few other plays go unnoticed and hes our 3-4 option on this Offense as it goes

Zeke
Amari
Gallup
Witten/Jarwin
then Cobb/Pollard

Look we only have so many touches per game, those first 3 games we went super pass heavy and lit the air up, then we lost 3 in row where our Defense was losing TOP badly and that limited our possesions, add to it we went back to making Zeke and the run game more prominent that again its hard to get to your 3-4-5 players in the pecking order..im sure there will be some games down the road where he proves a good backup which he is..

CB over in Buffalo is getting more opportunitys and we shouldnt be comparing them anyway..CB left more for money and more touches, we didnt have use for either..
