You need to read eduncan22 more often.

Well, there's advice I never thought I'd see coming from you... you can be reasonably certain I'll never try to curse any poster in here with that...

Well, OK, maybe Yeager... :D

So something positive comes out about one of our players ..... and the usual suspects show up to attack anything pro-cowboys.

What a surprise.

Lighten up, that's exactly how you learn which posters have no opinions worth considering...

forgot to add Stanback's inseam measurement.

Word is it's the exact same as Chuck Norris'... which should lay to rest forever any possible skepticism about his professional potential... he's gonna play 12 more years in the NFL, then when he retires, move directly into MMA, then the movies...

On the day of his retirement, the NFL will dispense with the usual waiting period, and induct him directly into the Hall of Fame... there has been talk that they're breaking ground on a new wing just for him... ESPN will spend an entire month showing nothing but his highlight clips... Congress will declare a national day of mourning...

I mean, now we're gettin' to the REALLY "juicy nuggets"... just remember, you read it here first...

And how do we know this?

All I know is that he caught a TD pass against Champ Bailey last season in practice as an unpolished, still wet-behind-the ears WR recently converted from college QB. That has to count for something.

Practice? We talkin' bout practice?

Yes I know it was in practice but that is where players prove to coaches what they can do, and all indications from the coaches who actually watch what players do day in and day out say that this kid is a burner with special abilities.

He played college QB, so we at least know that he has some understanding of how routes are supposed to be run and also should have an idea of how to read defenses. I think than will give him more of a jump start that most receivers coming into the NFL had.

He knows were receivers are supposed to be; he knows where defenders are going to be. Right now, it's all about perfecting his route running, getting off the line, and catching the ball on a consistent basis. If Jerry and the coaching staff are saying expect big things from this kid, I will believe them.
 
jdub, I've been hearing great things about the guy for almost a year now. He may be the next great thing, but kind of hard to tell until he gets on the field and does something.

But hey, we still have about 4-5 months to talk about what he might be able to do. :cool:

Huh?

Youre basically taking a bunch of innuendo and inaccuracies, stating them as fact and then blaming Jones for them. Nice.

Yeah, what he said....

Post padding ROCKS!!!!!11
 
If Stanback and Alan Ball can come though that would give us a huge lift, especially with the Draft picks coming.

Remember this guy? No, it's not Damon Williams. Once upon a time, we signed an UDF who happend to play both QB and Flanker at the University of Tulsa. He too was a pretty raw but he eventually turned into one of the greatest WRs in the History of our franchise. There is a reason we gave 88 to Michael Irvin. It can happen.

I've never seen a pic of Drew without his hair. :D

I agree that pretty much everything we know about Stanback can be fit into a thimble. Not much t get excited over. However, I tend to believe that Stanback has more then just a 4.58 40 time to justify the investment the Cowboys are clearly making in him. I agree with those who are a bit skeptical that he can be the piece we need to balance our offense this season, only because I think it takes longer then just one injured camp and a season of sitting on the bench to teach a player how to be a WR and lets face it, that's whats going on here. Stanback is learning how to be an NFL receiver. Having said that, too many people have that OMG look on there face when you talk about Stanback. You see it from people on the team or around the team. I think he's got some serious skills and I think we kinda saw that, to an limited extent, last year in the pre-season.

It is very possible that Jerry could have been talking about Stanback when he made the WOW statement. That would certainly be an unexpected place from which to get it.

I guess I just think that it's a very good idea for us to bring in a Vet WR and draft another good young player at the position. Crayton is a decent WR but I don't know if he's going to turn into a solid #2 or not. At this point, I don't think that he is. I think he's an above average 3rd WR, not more then that. TO is not young, Glenn is at the end. If Stanback is the guy that is going to be a bigtime WR for us, that's great. However, it is my experience that it takes a pretty good College WR prospect a couple of season to turn into a good WR the majority of the time. I have a hard time believing that after just one year on the bench, a guy who was a QB when we drafted him is going to be serious #2 WR for us next year, if ever. JMO.

:starspin I certainly agree, it's going to take some time, playing time, before we will probably see much, if anything, from Stanback. We've all seen lots of guys come and go who had the tag of "potential" attached to them, and for the most part, there were far more busts than hits. I would love to see Stanback make me eat some crow, I really would, however...'til he does, he's just another player with the "potential" tag on him, IMO.

if we trade up to get mcfadden they had better do something or it will set our team back a little....
 
ABQCOWOY, thats what i was going to say, you beat me to it, best i remember, drew pearson, played just alittle wr his senor year, catching 33 passes, but before that he was the QB for Tulsa.

As we all know, he hit stride mid year in 1973 with the cowboys, what helped, he worked out late in pratices with stauback catching passes.

I did see stanback play wr his rookie year at washington, he can cut on a dime, and had speed to burn, the usc team couldnt stop him. So, let see, now, stanback has had one 1/2 year last year with the team, remember he didnt play until way into training camp, then at end of the year, he hurt his shoulder.

Now, he is praticing again with the cowboys and romo, so i say, he should hit stride by mid season for sure, sure he wont probably catch alot of passes until he gets the position down, so i say by mid october we should see what kind of player he is.

I read reports on those asking, he has reportedly ran 4.38 to 4.44 in 40, now that is good for a guy his size, he is just as big as T O, 6-2 at 209, now if he can learn a few things from TO at working out, increasing his body siize and strength look out.

i do think jerry jones is going to trade for either chad johnson, or roy williams, not sure if i would give up a # 1 for either one, but a # 2 for sure, id wait them out, get one of those impact wrs, and put stanback in the slot, look out, until then crayton can hold down the fort,

your line of assuming that were going to trade for McFadden and that itll be bad is worse than the ones hoping for it.

Its not going to happen according to both Jones but hey why let that get in the way of the chicken little routine.
 
Lets not forget that Ray Sherman is a tremendous WR coach. that plays heavily on this as well.
