Wow. 21 posts before we got the 'what's he gonna say?'. I'm frankly shocked.

 

[NoLuv4Jerry]

said it from the begining and i won't change my mind...he is a #3...now he could make himself the best #3 in the NFL.....but he is not a #2 WR.

 

[Mansta54]

"Patrick is a loudmouth who cost us the playoffs."

He didn't have to say anything and he damn sure didn't have to praise like he did. BUT HE DID!!!!!

 

[arync]

Crayton is decent when he shuts up

 

[Canadian BoyzFan]

I'm still not a huge fan of the guy.

 

[AbeBeta]

I've been giving Crayton alot of static, but I've been one of his biggest supporters too, and appreciate him because he is a fantastic WR, but I'm over his playoff performance now, and am ready to continue to root for him

So you can be critical of someone while also being supportive? Right.

just 'fess up, you're a huge Crayton hater

Just putting this out there. Crayton has defied odds since he has been with us, his mouth is just that his mouth. ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE THIS MAN FOR HIS MOUTH.

His mouth, his attitude are all apart of HIM, they are all what make HIM , HIM. They are what makes that 7th rounder from some unknown school come into the NFL and become an important part of our team at team he helped go 13-3. Its his swagger, his umph , his attitude that has allowed him to look past all the scouting reports and preconceived notions of were he should be on our depth chart.

I disagree that Crayton doesn't have the talent to be anything more than he is. There have been numerous WR's who have gone to Pro Bowls on similar talent. Parcells compared Crayton to Hines Ward physically. Like Crayton Ward is about 6'0 205, and doesn't have great speed. He gets open because he's super smart, has good quickness out of his breaks, runs great routes, has great instincts for the position and and willing to do anything asked of him. Ward had a non-descript rookie year as he made the transition to his new position, then put up a couple of mediocre seasons of 40+ catches for 600 yards and before breaking out in his 4th year. This is Crayton's 4th year in the NFL, and he's done nothing but improve every year from the year before. We'll see if the progress continues or if he plateaus.

The way I see this, Crayton doesn't have the talent to be a #2 WR. This is not to say that he doesn't have talent. I do think he has talent. I just don't think he has the down field speed needed to be the deep threat at the #2 we need. I believe that there is a chance that he can become a #1 WR. He is better suited for this. He may turn into a decent possesion WR but he's never, IMO, going to be a deep threat guy. He just doesn't have the physical attributes to be that. The comparision to Hines Ward are fair but Ward was a #1 possesion WR more then he was a deep threat WR. The problem here is that as long as Owens is on the team, he is going to be the #1 WR. This makes Crayton, IMO, the #3 guy in the offense. We still lack the true deep threat guy who can balance the field. That, to me, is the biggest issue.

Read that tell me it makes sense

See my sig. I'm not mad at Patrick anymore. I just bring up the drop when defending Romo against those who think Romo single handedly lost that game for us.

Maybe you should have a pic of Jackie Smith dropping the TD pass from the SB.

Let's not forget about infamous drops......

 

[Disturbed]

Read that tell me it makes sense

Crayton is an average #2 with TO on the field...and if TO is not on the field he is a #3 at best. The reason is that the #2 WR should be able to make plays and hold his own even when the #1 guy is not on the field, but Crayton is unable to perform at all without TO.

So he has some talent, just not enough ability or talent to do things on his own -- as a #2 WR should be able to do.

There are VERY few #2s in this league who aren't made better by their #1.

Yes, but most can still perform to some degree without the #1. Crayton has not shown that he can perform at all without TO on the field.

This is such a ridiculous statement.. Cmon man!!!!

Why is this ridiculous? The game film backs me up. Perhaps you can't handle the truth.

What does that have to do with him saying

Crayton doesn't have the talent to be a #2, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have the talent to be the #2.

He will have to answer the question....the statement above sounds like a riddle. If it was late in the evening I would guess a few drinks were involved...

Nothing at all. Especially since this was not what was said. Read the post. I promise you that if you read my post again, the ability to understand what it says will increase by a factor of 10.
