if TO and glenn both go down with injuries....

[Doomsday101]

I skipped all the name calling and all that fun stuff, so this may have already been said:

But it's not remotely outlandish to consider what would happen if a 33 year old receiver with a bum knee and our star receiver, who is even older at 34 were to get hurt.

Someone brought up what would happen if the Colts get Reggie and Marvin hurt? Why do you think they spent a first rounder on Anthony Gonzalez last year AND drafted another guy late last year AND another guy late this year?

The only WR's we've drafted in the last five years that are still on the team are Patrick Crayton and Isiah Stanback, the only other WR we drafted was Skyler Green and he was taken to return kicks and couldn't even cut the mustard at that.

You can all say it's whining, but a lot of us still remember only putting up 3 points in the 2nd half of the Giants game because T.O. was hobbled and we couldn't get Witten the ball with the coverages he saw.

I agree however any WR in this draft who could have been selected doubtfully would be able to do much this coming year. I was all for getting a WR but by the time we selected in the 2nd rd the top WR were off the board and the others I'm not sure would be better than what we currently have

i shoulda known you guys would respond that way, knuckleheads. tear down your fellow cowboys fans for their opinions. i expect that from you. romo is no manning btw and cant make any reciever look good. thx for an intelligent response. oh and marvin and reggie arent 34 and 33 respectively genious. take everthing to the extreme morons. its only conjecture but worth thinking about. i love our team but we dont have the talent or coaching indy does to overcome those obstacles. "oh, what if the entire team goes down with injury?" why not have an intelligent debate about it instead of being smart *** jerks all of the time

i agree....to many smart mouth old stick in the mud jerks....1 thing i notice about cowboys fans vs other nfc east fans...we like to play the ignorant role...and act as if our team is perfectly fine, and the draft was a good draft....

most of you are all blind to the fact we have a sorry SS out there, who will bring us down....you guys are all blind to the fact, that if TO goes down, we are done, 1 ****ing guy!....if marvin goes down, indy still has a great chance, if Moss goes down the pats still have a chance, why? because they have depth, and a QB who makes WR's look good

whenever someone voices an opinion....you guys hit the alarm button, and try to trash the thread and ignore reality...and you are the same people who sit up and say "how old are you?" "your immature"...what does it make you when you come in and poke fun at a thread and give the guy a hard time? your mature right? if you don't like the thread why not ignore it? you guys just cant help your selves....your just as immature

You are right Dallas needs to bring in a WR but just grabbing a guy in a poor WR draft will doubtfully change anything. Hell not 1 WR was even selected by anyone in the 1st rd. Dallas needs to address it but just grabbing a warm body is not the same as actually addressing the situation.

Well to be honest, I'm betting you we end up taking at least two WR's next year, we won't be able to hold it off any longer, and then instead of having guys that are ready to be big time contributers in 2-3 years, we'll have to wait 3-4 years, so we'll still be behind the game.

Either that or Jerry brings in a 70 mil, 40 guaranteed receiver in FA and calls it a day.

 

[adbutcher]

Hopefully there isn't a limit to how many people you can put on your ignore list because with posts like these it will be full. I am going to need a ignorelistologist to keep up.

I agree. We need to address it. While we could not make a deal for RW with the Lions this season he is a FA next season so I would not rule that out and hopefully the draft will produce some better prospects next season.

Only thing I disagree with it the ideal that we screwed up by not taking a WR in a draft that was considered weak at the WR position. You don't address need because you grabbed a guy you address it by picking up quality guys.

I also would not rule out seeing improvement from some of our young WR, hell most top prospects take a couple of years before they make an impact in this league so I would not rule out guys like Hurd and Austin stepping up their games

Oh I don't think we screwed up by not taking a WR this draft, but it is a heck of gamble.

With the number of deals Jerry made, if he had wanted a WR, he could have gotten a decent one. It simply wasn't a priority, as he said later on. He thinks we already have guys as good as anything he could have gotten in the draft, I hope he's right.

I'm just tired of being heart broken in December and January.

are you a baby? why do you need an ignore list? your a grown man, on the NET! why not just look through and ignore it....or don't even look at all? seriously is there someone holding you up with a gun, telling to read every thread?

see what your doing is immature, just strolling through talking about ignore lists...you know what stop talking and do it! Ignore me while your at, you ain't hurting nobody's feelings...ignore everyone on this board who makes annoying posts in your opinion since you cant seem to control your self when clicking into threads

It would be a gamble if we were passing on great prospects but that was not the case. I don't think trading up to get a WR is a good ideal if you are not sold on him

 

[cnhnyy]

Glenn is done.

Basically we have TO, Crayton and the rest. TO is 34/35. You tell me you are not worried?????

Just like CBs before last season. We only had one good one and one half good. Well, we did not address the issue in last year draft/FA. It bit us in the A** in December and playoff.

Wow... this thread is taking so many lefts... its begging for a right.

Like... right now ? Glad to be a part of this one. Great stuff in this thread.

 

[EndGame]

Wow. What a waste of electrons this thread turned out to be.

Here's an attempt at a serious answer to what really is a not-so-intelligent question: While Jerry Jones is quite good with the doublespeak, I tend to agree with his assertion that there were no WRs in the draft who would immediately be better than the backups currently on our team.

There was no Randy Moss in this draft, or even a Calvin Johnson for that matter. I don't think the guys available would have produced at a significantly higher level than the players already on our roster. Are they more talented coming out of college than the guys we have? Sure, but the guys we have already have a year in the NFL under their belts, and that's a big consideration. Our best hope is that Hurd, Stanbeck, or one of the other young receivers already on the squad steps it up and turns into at least a #2 receiver. From everything we're hearing, the coaching staff seems to think that's a possibility.

 

[HoosierCowboy]

If both receivers go down, we put in our next best. It was a bad year for WRs and there were none better than what we have.

I was glad when Parcells left, he had no imagination. If faced with some injuries, I hope Garret and Co. would use our backs and split them out, run some more screens, do what the Eagles do with worse WRs than we have with TO.

That's exactly the problem.

So what if there was no Randy or Calvin? I'll take a Bowe, James Jones, Anthony Gonzalez, even a Sidney Rice.

It's not always about drafting the next Jerry Rice.

 

[CATCH17]

We're not the only team that would be screwed if their top 2 receivers went down.

Thats kind of a "no duh" point.

Its not like though guys like Barber, Witten, and Crayton wouldn't be servicable people out there but I doubt we win any championships if our top 2 go down just like any other team.

Luckily we have the best defense on paper though and a amazing QB.

 

[DFWJC]

Most circles outside of dallas consider Crayton a #2 or #3 reciever but the other guys are off the radar. For now, they are #4 guys with Hurd maybe rising to a #3.

Who knows, maybe the potential will kick in on the others...right now it would be very bleak.

True and we can play this game at every position. What if we lost both QB's? How about we lose both OT or OLB. A team can only plan so much for injuries.

 

[alancdc]

Ir Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne both go down with injuries....

its not as if every team isnt in teh same boat.

Absolutely the first thought that went through my mind as I read this.
