Initial thoughts on Tolbert?

He looked just like what he is.....3rd round pick. If we are being honest, I'm not sure he's done anything special in practice either, not that I heard.

As of now......my day-one starting WRs, Lamb, Brown, and Fehoko


**** And why this Dallas offense is going to struggle --BIGTIME. Teams will just double Lamb and it's over. And Let's be alittle more honest. Gallup isn't a #2 WR either. He is a #3.

Idk about that...I think he is a pretty decent #2. The problem is he's missing the 1st 4 games, at least. Essentially, we're punting the first quarter of the season and hoping for a strong finish. Pitifully stupid strategy.

Just preseason game 1, but he looked a bit like a deer in the headlights
Expecting an upward arc from here

I didn’t see much explosiveness in his game. What kind of receiver is he supposed to be?

Fluid route guy?
Speed guy?
Jump ball guy?
YAC guy?

We can't truly evaluate him until he gets some reps with a QB that can actually throw an NFL pass. He is a third rounder from the Sun Belt. He was highly productive in college, but it will take time to adjust to the NFL game. I mean, Cedric Wilson did absolutely NOTHING until last season and for some reason we think he is irreplaceable? In my opinion 400 yards and a few touchdowns from him would be a very successful campaign.

Gallup put up 1000 yards in a season. Lots of teams have #2s that will never have 1000 yards. Gallup is a more than adequate #2.

Tolbert = Matt Jonson

Typical Cowboys fans and media anointing players before it’s time. Why? Because they are brainwashed by The Jones Family.

A lot of good reviews about Tolbert during training camp practices but nothing impressive about him last night. Many were talking about him being one of our top three receivers to start the season and he didn’t look ready for that.

It was hard to tell much from that penalty strewn mess of 2nd and 3rd string players… particularly the QB position. The drop obviously wasn’t good but overall it was an okay start. Nothing to really get excited about or to get down about.

His performance in camp though, has been encouraging.

We will have to see what he does in the next 2 preseason games, and really, we’re not going to know on him one way or another until the games start to count.

Seems normal that rookie WRs take a couple years to “get it.” Not too concerned yet.

Looked like he had the Cowboy curl and crossing pattern down. So ready for week 1…
