We need to stop kidding ourselves about Turpin

[gimmesix]

Turd? Well now that’s not right. I agree that he is a bit over hyped but he is not a turd.

I'm in my 50s, so maybe that's some kind of sign of respect for a younger generation, kind of like what Diggs said to Dak that got all blown up. I mean, if Diggs can say those kinds of things in the spirit of brotherhood, I would think calling someone a turd would barely register.

 

[gimmesix]

so you are saying its not turpin time?

Apparently, it's turdin time.

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.

People that call players a turd for no reason are a turd themselves.

Really seems personal for that guy

I agree. There is zero chance a guy like Turpin can ever make a Pro Bowl

Projection

What is he projecting?

Turp is obviously a decent returner. Overrated, but still pretty good. I admittedly overrated him last year, but we were hard up for a returner.

Dowdle's fumble doesn't worry me all that much. It worries me, but not much. It's not outrageous to be concerned that Turpin could be prone to fumbles.

It's a popularity contest. ProBowl isn't really indicative of all that much, especially when it comes to Cowboys players. Cowboys have the most fans, so of course, their players are going to get the most votes.

He's a decent returner. Maybe Turp will be better in McCarthy's offense. The fact he couldn't get on the field much last year in spite of us needing a WR to step up, should tell us something. I'm not saying he sucks as a returner. But it has yet to be seen what he can do against a top-level NFL defense. I'm not writing him off. I still want to see more of what he can do.

My deal is, if all he is going to do is return, and is prone to fumble, there may be a better player to fill his roster spot. If he can contribute to the offense, I'm all good with it. Time will tell. There are still 3 preseason games left.

I'm sorry he stole your girl.

lol

This reminds me of the time back in August of 2017 when Zeke's psycho ex-girlfriend was bragging how she slept with Zeke's teammate, Lucky Whitehead!

Ezekiel Elliott claims his ex ‘taunted’ him about Relationship with his Teammate?!

Quickness not speed is his value

When Doc Holliday says the phrase, he has his hand on one holstered pistol, and he has another weapon ready to fire behind his back. Holliday carries a nickel Single Action Army Quickdraw, along with a Colt Lightning. Like Holliday, Ringo also carries a nickel Single Action Army Quickdraw.

Obviously, the phrase “I’m your huckleberry” wasn’t meant as a friendly greeting. If your friends greet you this way, you might want to consider getting new friends.

He was 10th among kick returners with at least 15 kick returns and 6th among punt returners with at least 15 punt returns. And that is with going straight from a season in the USFL right into an NFL season without any rest or benefit of spending time with the team in the offseason. He might actually provide some depth at the WR position this year in addition to his return abilities.

Also, if you think 4.31 speed isn't fast then you are mistaken. NFL scouts drool over that kind of speed.

 

[Mannix]

He was one of the best return men in the league last year lol.

Until he would mysteriously fall or take an inexplicable path when he was in the clear....runs with horse blinders on.

 

[Blast From The Past]

God forbid he ever actually make a play in an NFL game. The next day he will hold out for more money.

You are so pleasant you are not you when you're hungry! lolz

That seems to be about right but can it be fixed by coaching?

 

[BHendri5]

Lol, turd is the best word I could think of at the time, and honestly it fits. Not a turpin fan never was, I thought they and still think they are wasting a roster spot. Hell he can go out and return kickoffs and punts catch a td or 2, score on a reverse, this season in the regular season even the playoffs, yes I will be happy for the score or scores, but I will still be dreading when he get tackled that the ball will come out.
He's a gimmick

He is no longer the shortest man on the team.

 

[tomokawan]

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

I see your point, but the worst thing you can be as a returner is a fumbler.

 

[RonWashington]

Dowdle Deuce Vaughn if Turpin gets stashed or cut those 2 could fill the “ void “ . Dallas will survive .

 

[diamonddelts]

Who has ever stated or hinted at Turbin being a stud here?
