This is a surprising quote by Dak. I fully expected him to say "why'd we pick up this scrub?"
I don't know if he'll do anything significant with the Cowboys but he has ridiculous talent.
There was a thread or a post that debunked those fumbles.
Nothing like a cherry-picked YouTube highlight reel to get some fans in a frothing tizzy.
If Tavon Austin was really all that and a bag of chips, why the heck did the Rams let him go for a flippin’ 6th-rd pick, lol??!?

no. there may be a thread talking about austin. But his poor production catching and fumbling issues actually happened. He did run ok without fumbling.

he might be the best gadget player in the league. But he's still a gadget player. He'll never be a Desean Jackson clone who can break that barrier between gadget and elite receiver, nor will he ever be a great back.

I never thought Foles was a loser; that moron Chip Kelly simply didn’t like him and traded him to the Rams.For the same reason why everyone thought Foles was a loser QB and wondered why the Eagles brought him back after getting rid of him.
He was so great the Rams were like we have to phase him out of this offense to keep things fair.
I'm sorta laughing a little because he doesn't have to be just a gadget player he just needs to not fumble in honesty
Tavon Austin has tons of more talent than DeSean Jackson which in my opinion is closer to bust material than famine.

I really like the Austin move for where the pick was. One, I like him for his speed alone. If he and Thompson both make the team, that alone gives the WR group something we haven’t had in a while.
I also like that he presents a wrinkle other teams will need to prepare for. He’s capable of a big play now and then, and with our OL and teams keying on Elliott and Beasley, and with a mobile QB, he’s another threat.
He won’t put up stupid numbers, but for a 6th round pick, he’s a good value. If you don’t like him, you have an inflated idea about the worth of a sixth round pick.
The Triple Read Option with Dak, Zeke, and Austin could be a revelation for this offense. Add in the occasional RPO to keep the DB's and Safeties honest and I could see this offense giving the opposition alot of problems.
Seems possible.
The Rams were a disaster under Jeff Fisher.
Austin missed the 1 preseason with McVay which is the primary time players learn a new scheme.
The Cowboys investment in him is minimal. Even if he just remains a gadget player it's still worth it. I think he has a chance to be more than that but if not it's OK.
His success seems tied to his mental makeup. He obviously has the physical ability. The pressure of being a top 10 pick is gone now. Being in Dallas should be fun for him.
If you really believe this why trade him then? If he really thought that why not keep him and use him this year?He got hurt and McVay admitted he didn't use him as much as he should have in the real world.
