Rookies -allowed to start??

More than likely we will pick top 10 in 2011. That means we have 2 of the top 50 college players on the team next year. Based on our past coaches and the mentality of this organization how folks actually believe that our 1st two picks will be starters next year.

I for one do not see it happening. Maybe our 1st pick starts, but that's 50/50.

I think it comes down to how quickly that player or players pick things up. Dez saw playing time very quickly, Lee not as much but has had to deal with some injuries, heck Gronkowski has seen alot of time maybe too much too soon as far as Romo is concerned.

It's just funny how you look around the league and most teams have rookies playing and doing fine, yet Dallas' rookies never seem to be able to "grasp" the playbook.

Is it the players or the coaches. I lean heavily towards the coaching being the biggest problem this franchise has.

Dez should have started from week two, not received playing time. He was better than REW beginning week 2. Only his ankle injury prevented him from starting week one, yet he never started.

And many do not start right away or limited in how much they play. Dallas is not the only team out there who do not just throw rookies out there before they feel they are ready to take on that role.

But we seem to be very very gun shy to even take a chance. Our season has been over with for the past 10 weeks, yet Columbo is still starting, Brooking is still starting, Ball is still starting.
