It's Wednesday Morn - Why isn't

[montgod]

a friend of mine heard it on ESPN tonight.

If this is true...why is JJ and BP not even moving to signing another OL like Graggs? I would think its elementary. If you don't have enough time to throw the ball, especially for deep routes, why sign a WR who does his damage going long w/o fixing the OL? I know Vollers, Noll, Tucker and whoever are decent depth, but I think JJ and BP are lying to themselves if they think the OL doesn't need some help.

The only recent news I've read comes from a blog from a reporter who works for the Boston Globe.

Tim McGee, the agent for free-agent receiver Peerless Price, said the Patriots hadn't called him regarding Price as of Tuesday evening. McGee said the Patriots would be a great fit for any receiver.

"We're not looking for the highest bidder," he said. "It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what's going on there (is a good thing). They have Tom Brady."

a) MeShawn was never that good - Chrebet took the lights away from him in NYC

Compare Keyshawn's career to Price's career. If Keyshawn has "never been that good" then Price must have been horrible throughout his career.


Hell, just compare last year's stats.

I know it's hard to believe, but Keyshawn > Price. I know stats sometimes lie and/or don't tell the whole story, but in this case I'd say it's a pretty good indication of their abilities.

I see Price as a Starter with Key moving to the Slot for Slants...I think this is the year Key gets benched and then released at season's end ...he's nothing more than a highly - highly overhyped and paid possession guy - who can no longer Yac it up.

Dude, this is not Madden Football, this is the real NFL. You just don't put Key in the slot to run slants.

Via Fox Sports here are the stats for the falcons receiving corps. Everyone knows Crumpler is Vick's main guy. Price didn't do to shabby.

I think it would be highly unlikely that Price would want to come to Dallas. Personally, I would love to have him, but I doubt the idea of being a #3 WR fancy's him when teams like Philly can make hima #2 WR with a very good QB throwing to him.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

why would the Cowboys bring in Price, when our own 4th receiver doesn't contribute on special teams either, and which is the very reason he's in danger of getting cut? and Parcells likes MOrgan's potential as a Wr, but he said it's really not about that, but what can that 4th/5th receiver contribute on special teams, I can see the interest in PRice, a somewhat, proven WR, but when it comes down to it, Morgan is going to be cheaper, so we'll wind up keeping him and passing on Price, or getting rid of MOrgan and keeping Copper and Crowder...

There are other destinations where Price may get a chance to start, but as for the Eagles, go look at last years receiving stats, Owens and Westbrook caught almost 50% of the passes between the two of them. That won't change this year either so I don't think Price would be interested in them more than Dallas as far as being a focal point of an offense stand point.
Plus TO would be the deep threat in Philly, Price or not. Here in Dallas Price would be the deep threat guy to stretch the field for Keyshawn and Witten.

b) He is slower than a Molina brother running to 1st base...

you an angel fan BA?

Keyshawn was a few yards short of 1000 last yr how has he fallen off??? He had Vinny T throwing him the football too, this board is full with a bunch of haters and idiot wanna-be GMs. There is a reason why you are on the Cowboys board typing and not at VR, remeber that please!

truer word havent been spoken in a while.

I dnno what you want from Key, he played real well last year. No Running Game 1st half of the season, then in the second half he's catching all the double teams because he's out there with a couple 6th and 7th rounders..looks like one of those kids came on nicely though
