Steele is better than Collins

[TequilaCowboy]

Of course Steele is better NOW....when he came in initially he was terrible. Which is expected since he was a UDFA...not a first round caliber type as Collins was. But Collins was a knucklehead, lazy and unmotivated to improve. Steele may not ever be a All Pro player, but he is serviceable for now. Draft the future RT in couple of years and he gets replaced.

I think that Steele will sign another contract with the Cowboys. He doesn't want to go anywhere else and they will give him a multi year deal.

Good dude, reliable, and becoming a good player.

Collins is the better player. Anyone who argues Steele is an upgrade at RT would be misguided & based on what we saw in 2021, that is not true.

To put it into perspective, Collins was the 15th ranked tackle by PFF grading & Steele was 58th. There is no debate that the former LSU lineman is better.

I’m watching Steele play better then lard butt because Steele cares. That can’t be beat

I like it when he gets downfield and pancakes people. A type of play that is impossible for Collins to do.

he had a good pancake that was highlighted by the announcers

Another reason PFF is a joke.

There is no doubt about it. The move to go with Steele was by far the right decision. The trolls and crybabies had a field day with this move and they were totally wrong. Go Cowboys!

I was wondering where those weak trolls and crybabies that said "we were stupid for letting Collins go" went. Isn't it amazing how silent and hidden they've become???

Based on cap hit/ performance ratio, Steele was and has proven to be an infinitely better option for this team. Lael at his best was a pro bowl level talent, but he never was really able to regain form after the hip injury in 2020 and Dallas needed to get its cap back in shape. He was a natural choice for release.

Steele is a very serviceable player nowadays and has improved tremendously every season. He is a very good run blocker and competent enough as a pass blocker.

I will say I was a sceptic at first, but this has proven to be the right call by the front office.

He's a cheerleader. Nothing more.

Steele is a backup level player. We need a real RT.

Your sarcasm hasn’t been funny for a long, long time.

Steele, an undrafted free agent, went against this years #2 overall draft pick. Hutchinson is going to be an All Pro soon.

I wouldn't worry about Steele. Hutchinson is going to make a lot of RT's look bad.
