Could Lamb cost us a game?

[noshame]

Throw a bunch of money at a young guy and every now and then this is gonna happen. hes just lost his focus and it took total embarrassment last night to get his focus back

 

[glimmerman]

That catch on 4th down in the 4th quarter made it up. And the TD catch. Gave us the points later instead of early. If he caught that TD earlier I wonder how it would have effected the game..

He almost cost us the game last night. Don’t know if he has a problem with focus or he has inconsistent hands. Can’t see how he could allow a perfectly thrown ball to go right through his hands then come back and make an acrobatic one-handed grab for TD in the end zone. It’s perplexing as to what the issue is with him.

Usually it’s from thinking about the run after the catch
But he made up for it
The one handed TD got all the hype but the 3rd down catch was really impressive because he got rocked on that catch

I am luke warm on Cee Dee but the fact of the matter is anybody on the roster could cost us a game.

 

[DB_Cooper]

Yes.

If you keep going to him he will make up for it with a amazing play. He is worth the trouble but will he be worth the money later when it’s contract time. He is gonna want a pile of cash..Does JJ pay him. He could be the best slot WR ever but what do you pay him. 12-15 a year..

There is no doubt Jerry will OVER pay Lamb.

He was a terrific run after catch receiver in college but not so as a pro so far. It appears his hands aren’t real consistent. The impressive thing about the one-handed grab in the end zone was he was able to keep both feet in bounds.

No back or even receiver is worth 25 to 30m per.......unless he is a generational talent. Lamb is not one of those. Cowboys will regret it if they do.

That drive in the second quarter. He dropped a easy TD. Rush saw it and hit him wide open. Lamb had a bomb of a TD a year ago and on the sidelines he said if it’s easy catch and he thinks about it then it’s trouble. If it’s a hard one he is good. But he dropped that one and another easy catch on the same drive.

If you keep going to him he will make up for it with a amazing play. He is worth the trouble but will he be worth the money later when it’s contract time. He is gonna want a pile of cash..Does JJ pay him. He could be the best slot WR ever but what do you pay him. 12-15 a year..

I never heard of him saying that. That's been my theory all along, so...cool. Now if he could just get past it, he could be the guy we all want him to be.

Obviously, CeeDee needs to stop taking his targets for granted, if he wants to avoid having them given to someone else. Seeing him grinning like a silly clown after a costly drop was proof that he takes his worst mistakes too casually. If that continues, he should be dutifully reminded of that fact well before the time comes for his contract to be renewed. As our #1 wideout, he's obliged to improve his concentration. Failure isn't a laughing matter for anyone being paid millions.

 

[AyeAtey]

I hope the 2nd half of the game is his "coming out" game and the true identity of his pro skills from here on out.

Still a pup.

Good question. Would that have deflated the Giants, or would it have fired them up?

I think the smile was just his way of shaking it off. I find it preferable to beating himself up and letting it get to him.

Maybe but if that continues, he won't be nearly as cool with the long-term results.

If nothing else, it probably won't serve him well with the fans. It's just a bad look.

Emmitt Smith once cost us a game.

It will happen on occasion when you put the game in the hands of one of your stars. They are not perfect. Besides the opponent is doing the same thing with their stars, somebody is going to lose.

Didn't CeeDee win a game last season for the Cowboys? He's probably done it a few times by now.

I get it. It bothered me at first too, but then I realized I might have done the very same thing in his shoes.

 

[charron]

CD has got to be more consistent taking advantage of every opportunity. He was meh outside of 1 drive. Take that drove away and he looks far ftom a #1

Not a game winner here, but catches like this are why I want him here.

Yep -- it certainly wouldn't come as a surprise to the enlightened fans, that's for sure.
