Patrick Crayton

[Doomsay]

Clearly that decision was already made. The team feels Roy can help this team more.

They had to pay Roy the money, there was no decision to be made. Crayton has played better for this team than Roy has, so no, Williams doesn't help this team more. IMO, the coaching staff would choose Patrick over Roy in a heartbeat.

 

[Aikmaniac]

Crayton deserves to go to another team and get some playing time. Unfortunately, he's out of the mix here...and that's a good thing for us. He was defnitely a go-to guy on 3rd downs for Tony.

I think Bryant can slide right into that role...and there's always that Witten guy.

 

[CF74]

Let's list the receivers that have had at least 700 yards in their career, college or professional. Guess who doesn't show up on that list?

Guess who does? EVERY OTHER RECEIVER ON THE TEAM.

Edit: Well, him and KO.

Nice spin but fail.. Right now Crayton is the only wr who has had more than one solid season on our team. In fact he's had 4.

 

[Doomsday101]

I like Crayton but I do think we have people on this team who can fill the void. When you have the outside threat of Miles and a big pass catcher like Witten who draws alot of attention over the middle the job of the slot WR becomes much easier

 

[CF74]

I'll give you this - Crayton is the guy on our roster that you most know what you're getting with him. He's super steady in being what he is.

With that said, you cant create any WR list here without Austin atop it. Austin, in one season, has proven far superior to Crayton. Even if Austin doesn't match last year's performance, you know you are getting a better player than Crayton.

Absolutely but that's not the point I was making. Austin has had one super awesome year, Crayton has had 4 very solid years. Is Austin clearly the better receiver? It sure appears to be the case but until he does it for more than one consecutive season then for all we know he's just a one year wonder. Highly doubt it but Austin's break out year doesn't negate the fact that Crayton is still the most proven wr on this team...

I like Crayton but we are talking an avg of about 30 something catches a season the offense has never revolved around Crayton he is a good go to guy but yes we have others who can fill that void.

I can't understand why the Cowboys put Crayton on the trading block.

I can understand Hurd, but Crayton's got good hands, runs good routes, is dependable, isn't expensive and most of all, plays the slot position better than anybody on the team. He and Romo are always on the same page. Plus he was one of the NFC's best punt returners last season.

I know money is the thing, but just ditch Roy Williams. I can't stand his ******* smile he flashes whenever he fails to catch a pass, like "I can't believe the season I'm having."

with dez, austin and williams we are starting to get crowded and we really don't run that many 4 WR sets. it would be nice to get a rotation and present the defense with different looks, but Hurd has no trade value. he is a special team player and hasn't really produced or shown much upside.

crayton is a veteran, fitst the #3 position perfectly. has produced so he has some trade value. with that said IMO if they don't get the right offer for crayton, they will keep him and pound the defenses with 4 WR rotations.

and lets not forget we have Ogltree that they are trying to get on the field as well

My only concern is Crayton does not want to be here. He went to the front office asking to be traded if he is to remain it can't be a situation where he is pouting or being disprutive. If Crayton is willing to move forward with this team for this upcoming season great but I think that tends to be hard for some guys when they know they are not in the future plans of a team.

You've gotta be kidding. Roy Williams averages more yards per season (779) than Crayton's single season high (697). Miles Austin has proven that he could double Crayton's single season high in just 12 games.

Between this and the left tackle discussions, sheesh.

 

[dfense]

Where exactly is Honeoye Falls?
I would like to invest in maple syrup and do you have that?

It's in Rochester, which is between Buffalo and Syracuse NY. More specifically, near the finger lakes. Yes we have maple syrup, a bad Buffalo team, and apples. It's also big wine country.

 

[Doomsday101]

One team I think may be interested in Crayton just based on some things I have read is the St. Louis Rams

RW hasn't done anything here, many are calling him a bust. Nobody is calling Crayton a bust, in fact many wanted to bench RW in favor of Crayton towards the end of the season.

And I'm not saying Crayton is better than Austin only that he has had a longer streak of solid production...

They call RW a bust because there were greater expectation placed on him than what were placed on Crayton.

 

[joseephuss]

There should be no rush to get rid of Crayton. If they get a good offer Dallas should consider trading Crayton, but there is no hurry. They can even wait until the trade deadline during the season. There is always a chance of injuries occurring, so it does not hurt to have the quality depth that Crayton can provide.

I agree as long as Crayton does not turn into a disruption. That really is my only fear is when a player starts asking to be traded and it does not happen you have a disgruntled player to contend with.

Nobody is calling Crayton a bust because no one expects that much out of him. In fact, the team expects so little out of him, they're willing to cut him or trade him.

LOL.

And I'm not saying Crayton is better than Austin only that he has had a longer streak of solid production...

And that's ridiculous.

Let's see Roy cost us a 1st and a 3rd. Crayton was a 7th round pick.

If Crayton cost us what Roy did would he be a bust?

See where your argument goes off the rails?

What's ridiculous is that Crayton is more reliable then RW.

This is not the point, follow the discussion...

 

[Jarv]

Unless we get a decent pick for Crayton, we should keep him. Sheesh, all the talk of no depth on the O-line then people are wanting to get rid of veteran depth at the WR position.

Rochester checking in here. Don't forget to tell them about the brewery.
