Really Juicy Stanback Nuggets

The NFL is a Show me league so I'm curious for him to "SHOW" what he has. I would be happy just to see him make a coule of plays a game.

I thought Stanback was faster than that?

that time was from NFLdraft scout and they make up the 40 times before the combine.

He ran a 10.6 range 100 meters which would put him in the 4.4s.

You need to read eduncan22 more often. He is the guru on Stanback's speed, abilities, potential and zodiac sign.
 
While I would like to believe Stanback is ready for this year and will contribute for us, but, until I see his productivity on the field, I'm still going to be skeptical.
 
Stanback is the type of player who might not blow you away in a 40. BUT he is the kind of player that only a very few will be able to catch from behind.

Speed is not the worry. I wonder about his hands and whether he can learn routes and how to use his body catching in traffic, etc.
 
just going off the track record, thats all...if you look at all of this you know its a possbility that my first scenario happens...i hope it doesnt...i will tell you this...if jerry drafts right where we are at, and doesnt reach for players but picks players that he should I will be amazed! Especially because I think Lacewell has been in his ear for a while now...jerry is just not GM material...sure he can make a few good moves but after he:

traded 2 first rounders for Joey Galloway
drafted Shante Carver and Ekuban in the first round
traded up to get Quincy Carter and Tony Dixon
drafted 3 or 4 sorry corners that no longer play in the NFL in one draft
passed on Kendrell Bell to get quincy
hired lacewell - someone who didnt even know who Charles Haley was! lol
followed what the guy said for years!
gave an 11 million dollar signing bonus to a guy with a bad shoulder - roy williams
gave 9 or 10 mill up front to henry ferguson and rivera - all of whom didnt do much for us due to injuries! 2 of them close to or over 30!
and there are several other things he has done that most gm's wouldnt...thats a track record

Roy williams was a perennial pro bowler when he signed tht deal. he went in the toilet after tha and wth is this about his shoulder. same with rivera he got hurt.

Ekuban was a good pick he just tore his knee up and never recovered. he has still been a solid pro in denver. same with ferg he got hurt.

henry was signed to a very moderate deal for a CB and has started for us every year.

Ferg was our best linemen in 2006 and its funny how you lay this on JJ when it was so clearly a Parcells move.

As for the rest that was a decade ago. You also leave out the signings of Glover, Hamlin, TO, Romo, BIGG, ,kosier Columbo, Thomas, Ayodele and the drafts since 2002 that have landed us Roy Tnew, Barber, Canty, Ratliff, Ware, James, Gurode, Witten, and so forth.

No GM is perfect but considering only the bad and ignoring all the recent success is worthless.
 
Word out of the Cowboys organization is...

they plan on drafting a few players, trading a few and signing a few

More proof that Jerry is an idiot.
 
So something positive comes out about one of our players ..... and the usual suspects show up to attack anything pro-cowboys.

What a surprise.

Agreed.
 
Big, fast, cuts like a running back, soft hands, smart, good character. What's not to like?

All I know is that when I saw him return two kicks in the regular season, I was impressed. The guy doesn't waste any movement, and is very fast. Plus, he has a dominating physical presence.

:laugh2: It seems Jerry has trouble satisfying his many admiring fans. We seem to be doomed! ;)

I think the observation was correct. I've seen the guy run while at Washington and evey report from Camp was that his speed would just make jaws drop. I wish he had been healthy and we could have sene more from him. It is what it is though. Ireland was sure wowed by him, and so were the other scouts. I doubt that was all about his tattoos.
