Turpin is a valuable punt returner if he can avoid fumbles. The basic talent as a punt returner is the best the Cowboys have had in many years.

As a position player, he will likely never be anything more than a sparsely used gimmick guy

We need to stop kidding ourselves Turpin is just a little turd that showed in a weak big 12 conference and a weak USFL, he’s fast but not fast enough and the more he gets hit the more he will fumble.

You’re living in the moment because of his fumble. I’m sure you weren’t calling him a little turd after the two touchdowns he scored on a punt return and KO last preseason. Mistakes happen but it they continue, he’ll fall out of favor with the team. Had he fumbled last preseason and not had those two big TD plays, he might not have made the team.

He’s also just been in his first TC. Dude was a rookie last year after 2 straight seasons of playing ball with no offseason.

Patience is not the forte of fans

You're the one fooling yourself. He'll be the primary return man and see plenty of looks on offense. 1 year in the league without a full offseason and the expectations are pretty ridiculous on here.

He is nothing more than a faster Lucky Whitehead...or a JAS (Just a Spaz). Making you nervous as hell every time they touch the ball....running around aimlessly with their brain out of their head. Waste of a roster spot.

Since when is a 4.31 40 not "fast enough"? That's blazing.

And since when is the Big 12 weak? Sure, it's weaker than the SEC, but so is every conference.

The key is if he can hang onto the football and make good decisions. If he does that he has notable value as a PR.
