Gathers? the all-saving TE that will take the cowboys to the next 18 superbowls? the guy that has never yet played a down of football since high school and yet he is enamored as the next coming of.....wait, no one has EVER been as good as his projections by many on here...I can't make a comparison

I don't think he even played football in high school.

Yea, I know sometimes all it takes is a hit in exactly the right place can look like more mild than the injury dictates. I never would have thought the hit Irvin took was going to be career ending either but when they carted him off the field it was a different story.

I agree. Sometimes the hits that take a guy out don't always look the hardest. The one that ended Steve Young's playing days didn't look as bad as some of the other hits he took over his career.

I was always curious. Was it the actual hit/injury that ended Irvin's career? Or was it the diagnosis of having a narrow spinal column, which only was discovered because of his injury that ended his career?

last year in ota's, rico was touting himself as the next self proclaimed heir apparent to witten. he certainly isn't lacking in self confidence. not sure that equates to talent on the field. hoping for the best, as always. but not holding my breath.
He showed some talent as a receiver but there is a lot to learn about the position
He is a freakish athlete and could really impact this offense if he can continue to learn the position but I think he could contribute now just as a pass catcher
He would be a matchup nightmare

as this point I am willing to forgive any player and give them 2nd, 3rd, 4th chances because honestly we are grasping for anything that resembles playoff game. There is no fan base who has less leverage than cowboy fans.

He's fine they just can't find a helmet that will fit his giant head.

This guy is starting to rub me the wrong way. More power to him for staying positive and doing whatever he wants. But nah, I'll pass. I want football players not ...whatever this guy is. Seems like a weirdo to me.

I cannot wait to see him on the field. The guy has major skills. As far as WRs go, I would take any of those 3, they all get separate and make plays.
