Little Ball of Hate... JFE say TG is our best... WHAT?

[CrazyCowboy]

Question: I know Terry Glenn always gets overshadowed by the WR opposite of him, but do you worry about Glenn at all now that Big Bill is gone? Glenn has always seem to perform best under Parcells and has had his issues when Big Bill wasn't there to push his buttons. I guess Glenn skipped most of the offseason workouts at the Ranch, but do you still expect him to be the best WR on this team even with Parcells gone?

Answer: He is the best WR on the team. There is no doubt. And I think he has outgrown needing Big Bill to push his buttons. What is worrisome if if the Cowboys without Bill will use him as much as they should and if he can stay healthy. What I hope nobody at Valley Ranch forgot was, while T.O. made all of the headlines, TG was the best receiver in a Cowboy uniform last year. Period. End of argument.

Someone tell me she is wrong here!

T.O. was our best at his worst..........:bang2:

I saw that, however, it is a clear case where statistics LIE!

Terry Glenn

T.O.

TG is NOT a star receiver, don't let me say it again.

If wish people would give Terry Glenn some freakin' credit. I hate JFE (no pun intended) as much as the next guy, but she's right here. So is KC Joyner. And this has nothing to do with statistics.

With both QBs last season, I cringed every time the ball was thrown to TO. If the ball was thrown at Glenn, no matter if it seemed to be within his reach or not, I got excited because I felt he'd find a way to make the catch.

I even remember one writer (not sure who) wrote an article last season and when TO dropped a pass that seemed difficult, but no one in the press box was sure whether to call it a drop or not. He said they looked at each other and said "Would Glenn have caught that?" To which the box responded "Yes." So they deemed it a drop.

I honestly hope TO has the most amazing year ever for a WR. I'm a Cowboys fan through and through and as long as TO wears a STAR on his helmet, I'll root for him. BUT, Glenn is a better receiver. He runs better routes and has better hands, arguably the best on the team. As for TO, he is good at what he does because when he gets the ball, he's impossible to bring down, BUT the man doesn't run crisp routes and has never been automatic catching the ball.

The same hands that turned a quick 3 yard gain, into a safety and the eventual game ending TD?

POORLY THROWN PASS.

Exactly.... Quinn would have gave Terry the opportunity to show why he is the best #1 WR to be traded for a 6th round pick in the league.

The ball hit him in his hands, it's what he did after that, that cost us the game. the Job of the QB is to put the ball in the receivers hand. romo did that, Glenn did the rest

You ride Quinn any harder and he'll be a new daddy

 

[Number82]

A. Romo is better and will be better than Quinn.

B. It was a terrible. TO would have definitely dropped that pass without a doubt. There's not one pass I saw TO catch that I don't think Glenn could have caught. There's quite a few Glenn catches that I KNOW TO couldn't have caught.

I don't think that was even a catch. The ball hit the ground before he had posession. Home field advantage call only because it turned into a safety for the other team. If Glenn didn't "fumble" and ran all the way for a TD, it probably would have been overturned.

She gets bashed for making stupid comments whether it's complimentary or derogatory. That's just life.

Free advice: don't rely on anyone here to detect or expose stupidity.

AGREED! Romo even admitted that was a poorly thrown ball, but Terry Glenn didn't throw him under the bus...

Well, this compliment was an obvious shot at TO, lol. Paying a compliment to downgrade someone else just cancels the compliment out.

These stat threads about this issue just remind of a line from the movie JFK, where they said, "government physicists have determined that a single shot made 7 wounds on different people at different angles. Those same physicists could also prove that an elephant can dangle from a cliff with his tail tied to a daisy." Sometimes common sense prevails.

You can twist the stats how you want to support any theory. But I think my eyes and other defensive coordinators know who is our #1 WR, lol.
