Twitter: According to Broaddus, Tolbert might not be active Sunday

[AsthmaField]

Not even close. Broaddus has connections all over the NFL, including the Cowboys.

He should never be wrong then, right?

This player is going to be a steal for Green Bay.

Tolbert not suiting up for game #1 is a draft failure.

I'm not saying he should start but completely inactive? A 3rd round pick with no injury issues whatsoever? I could see a 6th rounder, heck, even a 5th rounder, but a 3rd rounder? Who plays in a position of dire need?

I don't think he will be inactive. He may deserve to be after all, but that would be tantamount to Jerry Jones admitting an error was made.

I'm not going to say that whatever decisions they come to is the correct one, though. They might sit him this game and then when he gets a chance he balls out. Or they could decide to start him and he's a complete bust.

Then there is potential. Why is Tolbert a 3rd round pick but Houston was a free agent?

If Tolbert does end up being a bust but Houston evolves into a Pro Bowler, then can we judge team management negatively? I guess you just have to look at the sum total of the team's results, did they hit on great players more than busts. There are going to be busts, no team is perfect when it comes to acquiring talent, not even close.

My hunch is that Fehoko is ahead of him right now.

You guys are going to like Fehoko sooner or later.

This is also another signal that maybe Gallup might play.

I liked him more before this pre-season. He didn't impress me at all. In fact he disappointed quite a bit more than I thought he would/should have. Hope I'm wrong but I don't see much there at this point.

 

[john van brocklin]

Tolbert who?
Lol

 

[Reid1boys]

Honestly Houston deserves to be active above him.

and why is that, exactly?

 

[Techsass]

I’m not at practice not certain day to day but I think Tolbert needed a new pitcher the entire pre season. Some of the passes thrown to him were horrible . I looked forward to seeing him and Dak get on same time zone .

Hope you're right.

Plus, once Tolbert and/or Houston clicks snd we get Gallup and Washington back, who do we ditch? We’ll be “loaded for bear”.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

There really is no reason for Tolbert or Williams to be inactive. I can think of at least 9 guys that would be inactive instead of them. I know we have to pull Maher and a backup QB from PS but that still doesn't keep those guys out.

1. Washington
2. Hendershot
3. Mukuamu/Bell
4. Dowdle
5. Ball/Waletzko
6. Gifford/Harper
7. Ridgeway
8. Basham/Gholston
9. Wright

It’s unbelievable but not unexpected from what goes on here I guess. The last WR spot will be determined by special teams not who we think will have the best career and here we are calling guys busts before the season even starts and before we even know who will or won’t play and why.

No one is saying these guys are busts. We’re saying the homers who said the rookies could step in day 1 were thinking this is Madden. It takes time to develop any rookie especially those after the first round.

The front office relying on 3rd round picks to be day 1 starters was stupidity

Loaded with a bunch of No. 3 borderline No. 2 WRs. You can find them anywhere.

Gallup is the only potential No. 2 WR on the team as of today

This is an interesting point. Jerry and Stephen love to brag about their drafting so yeah, would they make sure Tolbert is active?

Guess we will find out soon enough.

If your 3rd round pick isnt dressing its a bad pick.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

My goodness, we are jumping the gun and calling the kid a draft failure for missing the FIRST game of the season. Now if he's still inactive after 6-7 games, yes I'm a bit concerned but the first game of the season.......c'mon. Even then I wouldn't call him a draft failure.

 

[Whyjerry]

Tolbert’s problem seems to be between the ears. Let’s see if he can wake up.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

A little bit of context.......I actually agree somewhat but the key(s) isn't dressing WHEN. If he dresses 15 out of 17 games, is he still a bad pick?

Nah im jumping the gun. They were thin at wr to start the draft process and we take a small school kid.

Yes if he is even on the bubble its a bad pick. How many other teams are not dressing a guy with a top 90 pick?

that because Turpin is surprise of camp and with Pollard and Turpin getting more targets there no need to rush a 3rd round WR into the mix..Offsneively its Lamb, Pollard, zeke, Schultz and even Furguson flashed, then brown.

I mean there's only so many balls to go around and with the OL in question you think they will roll out 5 Wides, slow developing deep routes all the time..LMAO
NO

they will try and RUN, Use quick pass game which is a lot of slot motion from Turpin and Pollard, go to 2-3 TE sets and move the chains , etc etc

Not sure what you think the offense was going to be the first 3 weeks but i almost expected the young WRs would not get into the mix fast.
