James Washington?

Its weird how Brown has disappeared over the course of the season. It looked like he was about to take the next steps of his development, but he and Dak don’t have much chemistry at all

Beat me to it, he has fallen off big time. Like he had disappeared.

I watch Law on YT, and he's always saying James Waashington, with two As. lol. I really want to see what how he looks playing with a star on his helmet. A few people are down on Washington and he hasn't even played a snap yet. I can't understand what has taken so long with his recovery. He's supposedly been ready for a few weeks now, yet hasn't been activated.

When will we see Washington?

And what would you expect to see from him if we do?

Personally, I feel like he's a perfect fit for this offense right now and has the potential to really light it up, if given the opportunity.

He'll probably still be behind Brown on the depth chart

I honestly don't understand this statement. Notorious??

Dak and Elliott tore up the NFL as rookies. Awuzie started as a rookie. Anthony Brown is a 6th round pick that has lasted a long time. Williams started immediately at Left Guard as a rookie. Vander Esch was impressive as a rookie. Malik Collins started as a rookie. Byron Jones, Anthony Hitchens, Trevon Diggs, Micah Parsons, Tyler Smith, Travis Frederick, Demarcus Lawrence, CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup, Tyler Biadasz, etc. The Cowboys developed undrafted players like Steele. This year alone, you have rookies Tyler Smith, Sam Williams, Jake Ferguson, DeRon Bland, Damone Clark, and even unddrafted players like Malik Davis and Peyton Hendershot. What about developing Tony Pollard and Dalton Schultz into players worth of franchise tags?

I simply don't understand how anyone can honestly look at all the players the Cowboys have been successful in developing, and complain about the Cowboys being "notorious" for slow-walking the development of young players. Quite the opposite, the Cowboys have a reputation for developing even undrafted players into significant players, like Miles Austin, Tony Romo, La'el Collins, Terrence Steele. Mid-round players like Hitchens, Barber, Prescott, Schultz, Brown, etc. have been staples in the roster. The Cowboys have developed a plethora of young players into NFL stars, with more Cowboys rookies developing into Pro-Bowl type players than any other team over the past two decades. The issue hasn't been developing players; it has been poor coaching from Dave Campo, Wade Phillips and Jason Garrett.

The notion that the Cowboys don't develop young players is a flat out lie. It's just not true. Only someone who zeroes in on the few guys who fail, and ignores all the successes can be myopic enough to make that statement.

Damn, I find it very notorius you took the time to write all that because I used the word "notorius"

Let me rephrase: "The Cowboys are well known to let their young players develop slowly and play them when they feel are ready" How about that?

As in Kelvin Joseph, McGovern, Mukuamu, Nashon Wright, Jabril Cox, and others. See there are players in both sides of the fence. Some get to play sooner because they are top talent or out of necessity, doesn't mean it does not happen the other way.
