If he hasn't shown anything in four years, he ain't showing too much now.

I don’t think it’s that he hasn’t shown anything. He’s just been limited to opportunities. Cooper and Wilson being gone and now James and Gallup hurt? His time to shine if he ever will.

What makes me say that? Brown has been with the team four seasons and has never caught more than 16 passes and has zero TDs. Anyone who’s been following the Cowboys knows he only continues to hold a roster spot because he excels at specialty teams and can play receiver. I can promise you the majority of the fan base wouldn’t feel confident with him as the starter and the team wouldn’t either or there wouldn’t be talk about adding another receiver and there wouldn’t be a competition going on right now. No one is saying Brown doesn’t have some talent but he’s not a starting caliber WR and it’s silly for anyone to argue otherwise.

Are you SURE...that he's been giving a fair shot? As in Hurns-type fair?

Like when was the last time we targeted Noah anywhere in the endzone?

By "starting".....do you mean he can;t be the #3? or even SOLID #4?

If you are saying #1...then I agree. And I dont; think he has the body or the skill set a #2 has....like Gallup for example. But I think if we give him an honest solid shot....he can really contribute in a meaningful way. Half-axed spotty playing time? He will mire.

There is no way to know how much he can do w/ the extremely limited playing time he has gotten so far. I agree, he doesn't have the skillset to be a #1, but he surely might make a good 3/4 type.

The Cowboys know what they have in him. He’s been given opportunities at receiver in many games over the past four seasons. He’s made a few catches and he’s had a few drops. When I say “starting” I mean as our number one or number two. I wouldn’t be thrilled with him as our number three which is pretty much a starter in our offense. He’s an average receiver!

He was ready the day he scored four touchdowns against the Oklahoma Sooners in one game.

Noah Brown has been one of the biggest winners in this camp. He has been outstanding. For you to be obsessed with bad mouthing him, just makes you look very ignorant.

Noah Brown is the definition of Vets knowing how to tie down a role.
There has to be some serious comp between the likes of Houston, Vasher, Tolbert, because I don't see any of them getting Browns work in.
And Im the Vasher stasher, but Brown is showing the newbies what is up so far.

-----I've always been high on Noah. I wanted Dallas to give Noah a try instead of trading for Cooper back in 2018. Noah problem is playing time and not enough of it. Just like Pollard needs more playing time, so does Noah.

Us fans should be tired of this front office saying what players can't do without giving them a chance. Conner Williams was never tried out at tackle. Williams at tackle and Collins at guard would have been better for this team. So the guys that are thinking, Noah is a blocking only slash special teamer, are worst than this front office. Give Noah a chance to start one game and let's see what happens.

Miles Austin was labeled by the same adjectives use to describe Noah. Until injuries gave Austin a chance. That's all a guy needs sometimes is a chance. So to answer the question...Yes I believe Noah is ready and I say he's been ready.

Ready for the IFL.

I'm starting to think the FO/staff has some faith in Noah Brown to be a starter. He's been here six years but he's still only 26 and has shown some ability as a receiver and blocker. He's trimmed down and looks good in camp.

You never know... He might be just as good as Will Fuller, and more reliable. I hope so. Brown has been one of my pet cats every year.

All WRs have an opportunity to grab a spot.
Who will take advantage???
One of the stories to watch this year.

Didn't they ask him to beef up one year to try him in some kind of hybrid role?

Saw him earlier today high point a deep pass from Grier on Training Camp Live.
He is having a solid camp.
