Peter, you could have read the paper one day and known all that.

Stay out of the strip clubs, and do your job.

I'm wondering if Michael Gallup might be able to supplant Terrance Williams as that second outside receiver?

It certainly sounded like that "one day assessment" that it was.

well not much there he could of just skipped there camp didn't give much information

 

[JustChip]

Not gonna bang on Peter, but nothing new in this report.

I don't think there was much wrong with his report. I mean it's not earth shattering news to us but for people outside Cowboys land who watch NBC Sports for updates on teams around the league, it was probably somewhat enlightening.

I think people sometimes forget that the target audience of some of these reports is nationally............ not us fans that follow the team more closely.

That's what I was going to say too. There was one tidbit though at least for me. I've been reading quite a few camp reports and this was the first one I've seen that called Terrance Williams a starter.

Understood, but it's not worth the cost of the plane flight. But maybe this is why Peter King is sliding into obscurity? Rather than being an insider who gets the scoop, he's a "going through the motions" guy who gets his vacation trips paid for by the company.

I attribute it to laziness and not knowing more than any insight.

I think this is nothing more than King finding a cushy gig, doing what he loves to do without all the responsibilities (like giving up the MMQB writing, etc.) and NBC trying to cash in off his name.

 

[CATCH17]

He probably just went for some of the popcorn.

Exactly.

Coasting.

And that's exactly how it comes across. Do this long enough and nobody will care what he has to say anymore. But you're right, he's likely winding down and riding that wave out until he soon retires.

TWill could possibly not even make the 53.

I’ve seen fans all over Instagram who want Sean Lee cut “because of what he did to Dez”.

Not everyone follows the team like a hawk.

 

[Kage]

TWill could possibly not even make the 53.

People keep saying this, I don't get it at all.
We gain nothing by cutting him. He is a solid #2 WR. If you don't believe that, he is at worst, a solid backup #2.

 

[Stash]

TWill could possibly not even make the 53.

Traded? Possibly, if they can find a taker. I could envision him being involved in an Earl Thomas deal. But he's not getting cut.

 

[mmohican29]

Lol. Man, what passes for insight these days. These are not "takeaways". These are pre-draft and OTA generalities.

I'd respect King more if he simply said "spoke to several beat reporters and consensus is. ."

Peter King is the McDonald’s of sports journalists.

Yes
