I am still trying to understand any kind of hype on the guy? Tolbert has been no more than a training camp hype virtuoso.

When Tolbert got his opportunity last season, he did absolutely nothing. Dallas needs a number 3 WR and i dont think Tolbert or anyone behind him last year is it.

The undrafted guys Holden and Kelly are the next two up id see what they both have.

At this point I want nothing else to do with Tolbert. Imo he isn't even better than Turpin who imo should be the clean 3rd WR.

Nobody even talks about that BTW. Everyone so stuck on Tolbert and i have absolutely zero idea why. He is not good at all, and being a camp Queen does nothing for the Cowboys in the regular season.

I don't remember seeing any hype....he isn't worth his own thread, yet.

What do you mean hype the guy's done nothing but progress and it slow but it's a progression nonetheless, you do realize that his numbers last year were as good as about 75% of either the free agents or trades made since February???? those guys production have dropped off & his was as good as them...

You trying to tell me that somehow 610 yards at 12.4 yards per carry and seven touchdowns has you have zero interest on the guy?

It took miles Austin three years before he put up a single stat like the dude was buried and then outside of his hamstrings he had a couple really great back to back years sometimes you have to develop a guy same thing with Patrick Creighton Cedric Wilson I mean these dudes didn't just overnight came in and were good it always amazes me how some people can't see it it's like you can't see the forest through the trees the man's been steadily getting better he's been better than Brandon cooks the last two years they have the same numbers except for Toberts are flipped his are going up Brandin Cooks went down same thing go look at Debo Samuels last three seasons a steady decline michael Gallup retires had nothing that trade for Amari Cooper to Buffalo split in two for two teams the numbers barely even got close to Tolbert same with Keenan Allen he had more yards but he only had 10 yards per catch I mean all these players I'm probably forgetting some that were moved in the offseason as far as what we were looking for as a number 2 and none of them were better than Tolbert's and some were worse that's why.

You're hating on a player that has been developing slowly but developing nonetheless I mean seven touchdowns is nothing to sneeze at but 600 yards twelve point four yards per catch is actually pretty damn good.... He needs to be WR3 splitting carries with Turpin Depending on the defense we're playing depending on the situational football he deserves to be right there I'd like to see more Turpin as well we're going to see blue out of the backfield but you're dismissing a man who had numbers that stacks up with a lot of the guys you think that names means something anymore they were all on a steady decline his numbers were close to I mean not exact as Cooper Kupp who got thirteen million dollars we got this kid on a rookie deal..

This team might carry six wide receivers and he's gonna be part of it that's a fact he's not going anywhere I promise you he's gonna be active on game day every game unless he gets hurt or something crazy happens...

And that's just our opinion but apparently he's still here because the coaches like him he's not the one on the bubble you do realize there's guys like Brooks and Cropper and Mingo and Florinoy who have done nothing they're the ones that their jobs are on the line and I don't care if you'd like the kid from Oregon he hasn't done a single thing that can threaten Tobert yet..

tolbert has real numbers last year that says he's an nfl wide receiver he's basically becoming Noah Brown there's nothing wrong with that noah Brown been rolling around in the NFL and he's been able to add something to some teams you can't have pro bowlers at every position...
 
I don't remember seeing any hype....he isn't worth his own thread, yet.
Exactly there's no hype but people are defending the guy because he deserves defending because 610 yards 12.4 yards per cats of seven touchdowns means he's an NFL wide receiver whether he's number three or number four he's becoming like Noah Brown or something maybe Patrick Creighton he can offer something to a team.. I don't get the hate he calls it hype there's no hype there's just people like me who would defend the guy because I saw 75% of the guys that were moved since February that could have been possibly a replacement for number two and their numbers were either barely that good or worse these were declining players with names and yet they don't get that he's been progressing while slow he has something to offer and if the coaches feel like keeping him on active on game day that means he's worth something...

But hey the experts have spoken Tolbert jobs in trouble because somebody on the Cowboys zone don't like him..lol.

I wouldn’t call 49 catches for 610 yards and 7 TDs doing absolutely nothing. However, he’s not a WR2 which why we made a couple of WR trades.

Technically he is better than Turpin , turpin plays a different position must be in the slot must be in motion tolbert can play the exposition or the Z he can go outside he's bigger and he can bump and grind against bigger corners 610 yards and seven touchdowns that's 12.4 yards per catch and he's been getting better there is no hype he's just becoming a guy that's dependable like Cedric Wilson or Noah Brown he has a place on an NFL team and while I do want to see more of Turpin they're completely different types of receivers.. They will be utilized in a different way however the coaches feel but you saying they're being hyped up now they're being defended the man has put up better numbers than most of the talk about the names that we've seen this offseason that went to other teams his numbers were better than Cooper or Keenan Allen or at least on part better than Brandon Cook's last year better than Debo Samuels or at least on par these dudes got big contracts and they're on a steady decline they're getting close to washed at least this is a younger player on a rookie contract that's been getting better every year..

I like turpi but you're forgetting the people who are on the bubble are not Tolbert , tolberts not taking anything from Turpin. There are a lot of other receivers on this team that are going to fight fluornoy, Mingo, cropper, Brooks ,the couple the free agents in Hillis and the two undrafted free agents the guy from Oregon, he might seem interesting but he ain't done a single thing in the NFL and yet Tolbert has,


tolbert had respectable numbers last year...

:hammer:Exactly he will make this team 100 percent he will be active every game in which he should he's kind of like a Patrick Creighton or Noah Brown or Cedric Wilson they have a place on a team I tried to explain this guy because I already looked up the numbers he had as good a numbers or better than a lot of the free agents or the trays that were made since February those guys are big names but they didn't have good years last year and yet they meet tons more money we got this guy on a rookie contract and he seems to be slowly getting better every year...

He will fit in to what we need.

Pickens, Mingo, & Tolbert can play out wide with Lamb in the slot.

Tolbert should be better this year because of the matchups he gets.

Fluoronoy has a chance too.

Eh,
If you bothered to listen to what Greg Olsen pointed out in several games over the last 2 seasons, McCarthy runs a 2 read and check down offense. In Dallas that 1st 2 reads were Lamb and the TE in over 70% of the pass plays.
Tolbert produced 49 receptions and 610 yards when he was one of the first 2 options in less than 30% of the plays or as the check down and with the loli pop ginger as the QB for much of the season. That’s right in line if not a bit more than what Davonte Adams produced in the same role his first 2 seasons in the league. What’s more, in the one game Tolbert was the first option he had 4 rec for 98 yards with a clipboard QB!

As for Turpin, after 3 years he’s still one of the worst , most limited route runners in the league. If he didn’t have immense value as a returner he would have been out the league and never progressed beyond a practice squad player!

Where have you been, my good man, Tolbert has arisen from the ashes.
He has anointed himself Batman and he's deputized Lamb as Robin!
At the very least, he has confidence.
 
He did absolutely nothing?

He had six TDs last season which I believe led the team.

He had Trey Lance and Cooper Rush throwing to him the majority of the season.

EVERYONES receiving numbers were down.

I swear we have a bunch of casuals in the forum.
For sure, he also plays opposite of Lamb so he's not getting as many targets as some receivers. Tolbert is fine. He'll be even better this year.
 
Eh Tolbert as a #2 should have been ridiculed. Tolbert as a #3 plus splitting reps to guys like Turpin isn’t a bad thing at all. The cowboys have actually done a nice job of creating depth at the position. My focus is more on the trenches this camp.
 
He's better than Turpin,Kelly,Holden,Flournoy, Brooks or Campbell. Is he an elite WR? No Is he an average WR that isn't a starter? Yup.

He had the promise of being a starter when drafted and that fell through because he has shown he isn't on that level.

Lot of people seem to think Turpin is better because he is fast and that is nice but Tolbert still can be a better WR than a specialist gadget returner.

Now if they keep him? IDK after this season he could be gone, he is like a slightly better Noah Brown.

Also the potential of Mingo is there, but I wouldn't hold my breath that he is better than Tolbert either.

maybe he should have been all-pro and the OP would have been ecstatic!!
 
Tolbert used to be Robin to CD’s Batman. No Pickens is here so maybe Tolbert is: Batgirl? Kind of like Alicia Silverstone in the Batman movie with Val Kilmer.

Tolbert’s version of Batgirl will never be as hot as Alicia Silverstone but in that 3rd WR role he’ll fit in nice.
