Cobb and Cowboys close to deal

[xwalker]

cobb is good - when healthy. he's just never healthy. at best, he has a few flash/glam games a year and it makes people go OOH AH but they don't show you the rest of the year when he's in the MASH unit.

The stats don't show that. He played 13 or more games in all but 2 of 8 seasons.

I wonder if Dak will miss Cobb when he is wide open too?

People really need to lay off Dak. He got you to playoffs last season once again!!! Give him the weapons and the team will succeed.

 

[iceberg]

I wonder how many here get that reference...

dunno. but first time i ever used it i got banned for saying that to someone. after i explained it's just my way of saying "whatever, ignore" its been fine.

Zeke got us to the playoffs.

Cobb must be desperate

Why would he be desperate to come to the Cowboys. Cooper Gallup cob Trevon. Prescott Elliott. I would think a lot of players would come play for us

 

[flosho]

Cobb would be a good addition. He was in a passing offense that featured Devonte adams and Jordy Nelson the year prior. Last year he was banged up.

Cobb has sure hands and can return punts as well.

Zeke got us to the playoffs.

It wouldn’t have happened without both of them.

WHO IS PAYING YOU???

Interesting. Maybe it comes across as calling somebody "boy" if they don't get the reference.

You know how ridiculous that sounds. How many touchdowns did Elliott have. Yeah he was a big part of the offense Pierce but that was part of the downfall because we didn't have balance. It's a team effort

 

[Kaiser]

You missed your calling as an editor. Nobody cherry-picks things out of posts while ignoring everything else the way you do. It's akin to fraudulent misrepresentation.

No, its akin to pointing out a really flawed argument. You called Cobb's numbers "pedestrian" when his most recent full season put him in the top 30 of the league and 3 catches away from what our #1 WR put up.

So stay with me, the point is that PEDESTRIAN IS THE WRONG WORD TO USE.

 

[Whirlwin]

Agree 100%

It's the great Aaron Rodgers media Loverboy that's washed up. Mr. Hail Mary

I got the Walton's quote, I just didn't think it was worth replying to.

Cobb.

You should submit an invoice for your contributions because Cobb is obviously paying Cowboys fans at CZ to post things favorable to him...

I figured you got it.

I just wondered in general how many wouldn't get it.

You're winning the debate in this thread by the way.

Not in the fourth quarter when the game is on the line. There's nobody I would want more than Prescott

It's entirely applicable.

A receiver who made $10 million a year over the past 4 season hasn't put up one over 1,000 yards.

And during three of those years, he didn't even break 700 yards!

If you don't feel those are "pedestrian numbers" for paying $10 million a year?

 

[Whirlwin]

Cole Beasley had the best hands in the league four passes percentages caught. How does Randall Cobb stand in that category. It's not about how many yards it's about can you catch the football . Easley was a third-down making machine when he got an opportunity. Is that what Randall Cobb can do for us I don't know I haven't followed his career. But that's what's most important to me not dropping footballs

How much did we pay Dez Bryant. How many yards did he average. I didn't like Dez because of all the footballs he dropped. He was dramatic a touchdown machine. But he dropped the football at the most important times he was a drive killer. It's not about yards for me

And we ultimately cut Dez for that lack of production. Whatever it might be "about" for you, Cobb hasn't shown it. Not since 2014.
