That's pretty sad compared to what we are paying the guy.. Either he's a hi-priced decoy or he needs to step it up. I suspect the rook is going to force him to kick it up, I'm hoping we see the Miles Austin of old...

What's pretty sad? The fact that he's been a 1000 yard receiver for us every year since he broke out, except for the one year that he was injured for half the games?

How is that 'sad' to you?

Uhh that he is not producing? Is this a trick question? :laugh2:

Yds you say? What about td's? What about taking over a game like he did one season?

His current "production" can be duplicated for a whole lot less $$$

By who?

..and yes, i say yards produced, first downs, TD's.. you know actual production.

Not silly imaginary things like "taking over a game like he did that one season".

You just glossed over my post to fit your, "I love Miles Austin Fan Club Agenda.":lmao2:

The top WR's have 1,200+ Yds, more TD's, etc...

Taking over a game is imaginary? So when Flacco and Jones continually connected on deep balls and scored TD's throughout the playoffs and eventually the Super Bowl, that was imaginarily taking over the game?

A 2nd year rookie Julio Jones with 1,500 yds and 10 TD's is an example of earning a paycheck. An 8 yr vet struggling to make 900+ yds is overpaid my friend, dude needs to step it up or take a paycut soon.....

I didn't gloss over your post at all.. i addressed what you said, however silly it is.

You talk about Flacco and all the deep balls he tossed?

Guess what? Miles outproduced every single receiver on that team.

He was also in the top 25 receivers again last year.. which when you take out the TE's on that list, means he was outproduced by only 23 receivers in the NFL, not even every teams number 1 was better than him, and he was our number 2.

You simply don't know what you're talking about, is all it comes down to. You say he's not producing, but the numbers say otherwise. Just because he doesn't subjectively "take over games" in your mind, doesn't mean he's not a very effective weapon for us. Being the third option in the receiving game and still putting up 1000 yards is very very good, no matter how much you hate the guy.

His numbers last season, again as the third option in the receiving game for us, nearly mirrored those that he put up in 2010, when he was a first alternate and made the pro bowl.

Also, on a side note, i take it you're referencing Jacoby Jones in your "how to take over games" monologue? He of the 5 catches all postseason for them? He of the 30 catches and 400 yards all regular season? Oh yea, he def took over games for them. Teams gameplanned for him fur dayzzz. lol

Im not even a big Miles Austin fan.. just correcting bs when i see it, sir. Carry on..

So many holes in your statement I don't even know where to begin. I'll just say this, you say Austin is our #2 and then you say he's a 3rd option, yet he's getting paid like a boss....

You misquoted me so many times I don't even feel like addressing every point. You carry on buddy...

How could a Cowboys fan that pays any attention to the team not know that we have cap issues next year? We already are 30-40 million over the cap next year.

We are going to have to do restructures and we are going to have to make some significant cuts to get to the same situation this year.

Free agents next year:

Anthony Spencer
Jason Hatcher
Sean Lee

The following year, it's Dez, Tyron, DeMarco, Carter and several other guys.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Dez start arguing for his contract to be redone this coming year.

Good thing we still have $1.3 million for Bobby McCray!

If you're going to keep bringing the guy up, can you at least get his name right?

Maybe if I cared enough.

All I truly care about is the wasted $1.3 million of cap space while we "can't afford" capable starters.

1.3 million for one year is nothing compared to the ridiculous contracts we've given over the past few years. I have no problem paying that for a special teams ace. The only reason anyone even mentions it is, like i said, because of all the other stupid contracts we've given out.

As a Cowboys fan though, if you're going to complain about moves we're making you should at least be knowledgable enough to know the players' names.

McCray's contract is not guaranteed. They can cut him at any time before the season starts.

Again, do not care enough about scrubs to memorize the name, only the money being wasted.

And in what way is McCray any type of ace?

Other than managing a tackle, what other big plays not involving injuring fellow Cowboys has he ever produced?

You can justify paying this bum $1.3 million but a huge upgrade at RT is somehow too expensive?

Ship of fools.

Great. How about now?

And using some of that wasted cap room on someone who actually plays and improves a huge weakness?

Its not too expensive.. once June 1st gets here, if we want to upgrade the tackle position, we can.

With who?

Our supposed top choice just signed elsewhere and there's now one left.

Will he somehow wait for us to act like everyone claimed that Clabo would?
