I'm having trouble finding the "keeping his mouth shut and letting his QB lead stat", but I'm pretty sure Austin has surpassed Owen's career numbers already there.

The Panch,
Is your siggy updated?
JonJon;3160026 said:Owens had to leave in order for Austin to emerge for us IMO. If Owens and Roy where still the starters, Austin would either still be buried on our roster or lighting it up for the Jets.
RainMan;3159550 said:Despite getting a late start to the season, Miles is rivaling the best production numbers-wise that Owens ever gave us. Which is quite a testament to both he and Romo, considering Owens was a top 2 receiver in the game during his time here.
Here are the numbers:
MILES AUSTIN
2009: 65 catches for 1,138 yards, 11 TDs
TERRELL OWENS
2008: 69 catches for 1,052 yards, 10 TDs
2007: 81 catches for 1,355 yards, 15 TDs
2006: 85 catches for 1,180 yards and 13 TDs
In Austin's 10 starts, he has (by my rough calculations): 60 catches for 1,057 yards and 10 TDs. It's pretty easy to figure out that translates to 6 catches for about 105 yards and one TD per game started. He has scored a TD in four straight games and has recorded 100-plus yard outings in 3 of the last 4.
Lastly, Austin currently leads all NFC receivers in yards and TDs.

The whole tilt? When Jerry was asked about it in the offseason, he mentioned Miles Austin as the reason.Bleu Star;3160673 said:Let's not kid ourselves here. With regard to the concept of matching Owens, the whole tilt was always that "RW will make us forget we let TO go". Thankfully Smiles finally stepped up and made everyone forget about both of those guys. Like any of us saw that coming... :laugh2: Thanks to Smiles, the RW > TO crowd won't have to have any crow for dinner anytime soon.![]()

Wait, nevermind, this is a Miles Austin thread, so obviously it's simultaneously a bash Roy thread. What was I thinking?
Proceed.
Yeah, it was blind hope when I declared him our best receiver in training camp.Bleu Star;3160699 said:Thanks for your permission. I feel so much better now.
You know the truth. That's all that matters. It was always RW>TO and will make us all forget. Smiles was blind hope.

Sure. You've become almost unreadable, borderline ignore level. Shame.
Are you drunk?Bleu Star;3160836 said::laugh2: Please place me on ignore. Many little kittens will be very happy you did.
People and their tall boxes... so lame

I guess it's not unquestionable that your senses may actually be working to the best of their ability right now.Bleu Star;3160842 said:My senses are actually in very good working order. Thanks for the concern though.

EPL0c0;3160890 said:Color me surprised because I honestly didn't think Dallas could make up Owens' production. I'm quite happy to have been wrong! haha
I agree, it's crazy.Future;3160940 said:I cannot believe that he is leading the NFC in yards and touchdowns and only started 10 games. That's unreal, especially considering that he's competing against guys like Fitzgerald, Jennings, and Calvin Johnson (even though his team sucks)
InmanRoshi;3159584 said:As of the 10 games he's started, he's averaging about 100 yards and 1 TD per game. You can do the math as to what that adds up to had he started for all 16 games. TO never had a 1600 yard, 16 TD season.
