Deuce Vaughn: 'The Short King!' NFL 'Messed Up' on Cowboys Deuce Vaughn Move

[SteveTheCowboy]

Bookmarked. By years end we will forget who Kay Adams and Deuce Vaughn are. Got it.

Not what I said at all....

but hey...knock yourself out

 

[Bullflop]

I can easily picture the rest of the NFL's teams being jealous of Deuce as he becomes the C'boys' hotshot this year.
He's a very special RB! His combination of speed, quickness and cutting ability is quite something to behold.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I promise u guys Seattle will lay the lumber if given the chance, on Deuce. I want to see how he handles that.

I'm ready to find out!

What did you say?

 

[Runwildboys]

Just speaking for myself… I will never forget who Kay Adams is.

No, you're not just speaking for yourself.

It is ok to be excited about a player you like.
But if you post here how great he is going to be after just 1 PS appearance in the 4th qrt against jag players, people are going to be pessimistic about
what your saying.

Even jerry and the coaches and mike, must not have been too excited about him or have much faith in him, because they
put him in the game so late.
If they felt like you do he would have started in the first and played against Jag starters.

Lets see if they start him earlier or give him more carries for this next game. that would say something.
if he is 4th qrt again, then they dont have much excitement about him.

Turpin ran 2 KO bk for td's in PS, none in 17 regular season games and 2 playoff games. they also never got him into the passing game, except for a few plays.

Even if doos is good, can the cowboys utilize him correctly? I doubt it as it took them 4 years to see pollard as the best RB.

I personally would like to see him in the game at start of game, not the end of the game.

They were pretty much all in the third quarter. You can’t even count to 4 brother.

Right. I don’t know why @SteveTheCowboy or Cowboylover felt the need to reply to my post that was in reference to HoneyBadger. He verbatim said we’d forget both lol.

She soooo fine……..

She was hotter before she went Hollywood.

 

[kskboys]

The skills and abilities that Deuce showed will work on ANY level of competition.

And they already HAVE.

For those that don’t know and haven’t done the homework, feel free to look up his college stats. Specifically the big games he had against top defensive programs like Alabama.

He doesn’t have to prove anything because he already has.

He easily looked like the 2nd best RB on the team after Polly.

He looked better than Pollard ... at least on Saturday.

I believe Vaughn's size is the overwhelming rationale behind the majority of criticism directed at his opportunity of succeeding at the NFL level. Any hint of how some of his skill set might mirror Sanders, etc., is automatically negated by that assumption. Just my opinion.

Well, it is the main reason he fell to the sixth round. NFL GMs also believe his size is a tough challenge to overcome, so why shouldn't fans?

Frankly, I like that it's the reason that he fell. It tells me that he has a fabulous skill set to perform as well as he did in college. Whether it will translate to the NFL is hard to say (again, why he fell), but I like the first glimpse we were given.

Some backs fall because they are not fast enough. Some because they don't have the production to match their physical skills. Etc. Vaughn fell just because he's short.

 

[Typhus]

Yeah, in another thread, there was a guy talking about how Deuce was just too short to be good. In response to someone saying Barry Sanders was short too, he said that Barry Sanders was 5’10” and that there was a big difference in their height.

So I responded to this guy saying that Sanders wasn’t 5’10” that he was 5’8” and that Emmitt was 5’9”. He then checked around the Internet, came back and said he thought he was 5’10” and didn’t know it was just 5’8”.

Later, when arguing in another thread about Deuce said, (as people have in this thread), that people are comparing Vaughn to Barry Sanders. When asked for proof, he re-posted what I wrote, lol.

I saw that and mentioned that I was just correcting Sander’s height… not saying that Deuce is like Sanders.

Some fans will absolutely twist what is said to make it look like other’s are saying Deuce will be as good as Barry.

Nobody is saying that.

They twist the narrative, so they don't look totally stupid.
Comparing Deuce to anyone is a waste of time.
Deuce is Deuce and he is ready to break it loose.
There will be other RBs compared to Deuce in future reference, that's how unique he is.

Um...because it is a PUBLIC message board and we are free to comment any way we choose. You don't get to decide.

It's hard to believe you do not understand this concept.

Oh wait...no it isn't.

What did you say?

Why don't you try reading it again for yourself. Try to do it with a clear mind instead of manufacturing things in your head to argue about.

Just keep clicking that little arrow in our replies to each other until you get to my post that says:

"remains to be seen".

 

[DallasEast]

My skepticism at Sanders comparisons is simply because I've never seen anyone who compares to him, and it'll take a lot to change my opinion. I think that may be the crux of many others' reactions as well.

My opinion: I do not think most Sanders references have been made as comparisons, as in I do not think most people are comparing Vaughn to Sanders, but as an observation that he has some Sanders-like moves in his toolbox.

 

[Risen Star]

Maybe Deuce is better than Barry Sanders?

 

[DallasEast]

Well, it is the main reason he fell to the sixth round. NFL GMs also believe his size is a tough challenge to overcome, so why shouldn't fans?

That is not the point I am making. I agree that one of the factors for Vaughn's fall in the draft was because of his size. I am saying some observers are automatically dismissing his opportunity of playing well enough at the pro level because of his size.

Every player gets an opportunity when they are drafted. Every year, some high draft picks flounder. Similarly, a few low round selections knock folks' socks off each season. It is what every player does with their opportunity that should be important to everyone in my opinion. Vaughn's should not be held as an exception.

You just never know…
