Ryan Flournoy over Jalen Tolbert?

[Mikexike]

Wanted to discuss this, I feel that Flournoy needs to be the #3 at this point. Tolbert is horrible on the field, He can't block anyone worth a lick and he has no breakaway speed. He is the worst at getting separation. Please give me your thoughts on this.

The Cowboys cut Flournoy not Tolbert. Tells me they didn't want to risk losing Tolbert more.

Once Mingo returns, you are talking about WR5 anyway.

I saw Flournoy drop two passes in warmups after the rain delay. The last thing we need is another receiver that drops passes.

I don't rate Tolbert AT ALL,there is nothing he does which somebody like Flournoy can do better.

It looks to me like the rest of the league has little respect for the Cowboys receivers. They can’t get a decent trade offer for Tolbert and the others were cut and not claimed.

We think a lot more of them than the others 31 teams do.

Did not see this.... good to know.

Was it just me, or was Tolbert within 5 feet of every pass route by another receiver?

I saw that too. Raised his hands up to catch that one pass CeeDee dropped. Not making excuses for Lamb but I wonder if Tolbert doing that threw him off?

Every team has one though. Every team has a Tolbert or Fluornoy….

It makes which is why routes typically aren’t that close….not sure what that was about.

 

[ShiningStar]

its arguing who makes 1 more catch than the other.

Neither are as talented as fans wish them to be.

The coaches made the decision, they saw something. End of debate.

My guess is Tolbert was supposed to clear a defender out of the area but he got held up or Philly didn't bite. Either way he and Lamb should not have been that close so someone screwed up.

He certainly didn't add anything in this game, so I see no reason to defend him. Not saying Flournoy would have fared any better.

 

[Coogiguy03]

We didn't throw much to Pickens Lamb couldn't catch what other opportunities did he have did we take lamb out and put Tolbert in and he didn't do anything??

 

[Carson]

Not a whole lot of complaints about last night. But a few younger guys need to to be active next week ...

Blue > Sanders
Flournoy > Tolbert
James > Sanborn, Murray

Tolbert. That lazy effort is a big fat no. Hell naw

The big CeeDee drop was an odd look, for sure. Tolbert was running at CeeDee as the ball was in the air. He even puts his arm out thinking the ball might be for him. I have no idea why he and CeeDee were in the same area at the same time like that.

Tolbert suck less than Flournoy

Maybe, but I remember reading that several teams in the NFC - Minnesota and San Francisco for sure - were in need of receivers.

I would like Flournoy on the 53 immediately, and if that means Tolbert has to go...fine. In my mind, Flournoy is already more valuable than Tolbert for "this year's team" because of special teams. Flournoy showed to be a good gunner vs Philly and the Cowboys need two solid gunners.

As far as Offense goes, Flournoy is the more physical blocker and is more dangerous with the ball. When you have CeeDee, Pickens, Turp, and Ferg in the passing game the other WRs have to do the dirty work and I haven't seen Tolbert do quality work in this aspect of the game.
