Dallas Cowboys: Randall Cobb return a benefit of Mike McCarthy hire?
https://thelandryhat.com/2020/01/10/dallas-cowboys-randall-cobb-return-mike-mccarthy/
Randall Cobb signed with the Dallas Cowboys this past season after spending his first eight years in Green Bay. He was signed for what amounted to a deal worth five million dollars, a pretty efficient price for a veteran skilled position player of his ilk.
In this past season with the Dallas Cowboys, Cobb amassed 55 receptions on 83 targets, 828 yards, and three touchdowns while carrying a yards per reception average of 15.1 yards. To look at the numbers comparatively, they were right on par with his Green Bay days and even surpassing them in spots. His yards per reception average was the highest of his entire career this season, while his total yards ranked fourth, with the third-ranked season being 2015 where he had one single solitary more yard than this year...
It goes even further beyond the numbers for Cobb and his value to the Cowboys though. Yes, he was a safety and/or relief valve for Dak Prescott(as we said he would be) at times, as he had been for Aaron Rodgers for so many years prior to this one, but he also did something else in an elite fashion. There were times where no other skill position player seemed as though they could get anything going, alas, Cobb would come through and make one or a series of big plays that either got the offense out of a funk, helped them to convert a big play or down, or simply allowed them to keep moving the ball. The old notion is that when you have major talent, you don’t just let it walk out of the building. While Cobb shouldn’t command tip-top of the market money, he should be looking for a pay raise based on the combination of facts that he should have at minimal two more prime-ish years left, while he also showed his best stuff on the field this season as well...
