Duck footed, body catcher. Can catch the slant well and get open with long, straightline stride. But not much else, and not sure handed. Basically we have another Roy Williams on our hands... only not as big.

Only thing I don't like about the kid is he is a "body catcher", I absolutely disspise receivers that don't go get the ball with their hands. Not using your hands often leads to dropping issues. But it's not saying he can't still succeed, Mike Wallace comes to mind.

TO was body catcher and he turned out fine yeah he led the league in drops but TWill will never be asked to be a true #1 WR on this team.

I'd say this is basically true. Yes, there are exceptions. We'll see, I guess.

I think if you draft a guy and acknowledge that you don't think he'll ever be a number one, I think you should look to draft another guy. That's just silly. You're basically admitting the guy just isn't that good.

Yeah that is why Jimmy Drafted Alvin Harper. To supplant Irvin. Harper was a 1 trick pony, throw it up an I can jump really high and catch it.

Tavon will never be a #1 in the NFL. TWill was a 3rd round pick which means he had some holes in his game.

Dude, you look like Romo.

Funny you say that because I've been places and wearing Cowboys gear and have definitely had people looking at me and I could tell they were talking amongst each other trying to guess if I was a player or not. While I don't feel like I necessarily look like Romo but at a distance with a hat on I could definitely see some sort of resemblance. We are almost the identical height and size. oh and I can throw a football about 60-70 yards Not that that matters I just wanted to get that bragging right in there. LOL

Some fans are giving up on TW after one game? o_O
Might I remind that the greatest receiver in the history of the game dropped balls left and right his rookie season.
Patience, people. Please.

A good friend of mine who I played baseball then softball with looks almost exactly like Jeff Bagwell. Were talking same ht, wt, build and the face, wow, a spitting image. Even had the exact same goatee. To make it even better, we grew up and lived in Houston, all while Jeff played for the Astros.

It got to the point that we hit up the bars, restaurants, whatever and everyone started pointing and whispering. People would come up asking for autographs and Craig(the Jeff imposter) would gladly sign. We got a lot of free drinks and food over the years :)

There was only one flaw, he had to wear a ball-cap; otherwise, the resemblance took a decent hit with him having dark, short and curly hair on his dome.

Yeah, you didn't understand my point at all. Good job. Jimmy did not draft Alvin Harper to supplant Irvin, he did however believe he was drafting a guy with the talent to be a number one receiver in his own right.

one game, and you are ready to throw him into the garbage . awsome. glad the coaches didn't listen to you when they decided to keep Austin and develop him, same for dez. just sit back in your arm chair.....relax

Yes everyone drafted is supposed to be the man in their position. Not true teams draft for needs. Austin will most likely not be here next year they drafted TWill to replace Austin who is the #2 WR on the team. Again the Rams did not draft Tavon Austin to be the lead receiver there, they drafted him for his playmaking ability but he will never be a #1 receiver. TWill is going to be our Torrey Smith To Dez who is a more athletic Anquan Boldin.

I don't see how you can necessarily say this about Terrence Williams after one game... as cliche' as it may sound as "far as him making the most out of his opportunities because he won't see many," you still will have to allow him to bridge that NFL gap.

Exactly it isn't like Dez looked like a world beater his first 2 years making rookie mistakes into his 3rd year.

In Reid's press conference today, he specifically said that he does not view Austin as a #2. Why? Because Austin has the talent and ability to be a #1, despite the fact that he's the #2 on this team. So to suggest that it's okay that TWill doesn't have the talent to be a #1 because he was always supposed to be the #2 is just asinine. And you are also essentially saying that if/when we lose Austin and TWill replaces him, we are downgrading at the position. Every team has a #1 and #2 receiver, it is those teams that have two receivers with enough talent to both be #1s who have the dangerous passing games. You are getting caught up in this silly 1 vs. 2 ranking.

What is Reid going to say, "no he is scrub we will leave him uncovered all game." TWill has a different skill set than Austin. Austin is more lie RB in the open field, he gets separation by route running and hardwork. He does not have the athletic abilities of a Dez or TWill. I can see TWill becoming more of a Torrey Smith type of receiver with good speed decent hands but not a frontline receiver like Dez and he needs some else to pull pressure off of him.

I think if you draft a guy and acknowledge that you don't think he'll ever be a number one, I think you should look to draft another guy. That's just silly. You're basically admitting the guy just isn't that good.

So you think the Cowboys looked at Dwayne Harris and thought he could be a #1WR?

Or... You think they were stupid for drafting him in the first place if they didn't think he could be and should have drafted someone else?

Interesting logic.

The vast majority of third rd receivers never become true number one's. If you can get a very good second option in the third rd you have made a good pick.
