When Did You Buy into Camden Brown Making the 53-Man Cut?

[Havic]

Yet people still completely over rate 40 times. Some people suck at watching football.

What was even more telling was Pete had several chances to draft him with the Seahawks and refused to do so, that’s all I needed to know personally about Taylor Mays

Steve Largent ran a 4.8 40. 40-time folks would criticize him too.

The speed counterargument will always be filled with holes. Dependable hands and an ability to convert downs and net touchdowns will put speed in its rightful place.

And they are basing it on a false narrative that he got caught from behind on the 65 yards against the Cardinals. He got cut off by a DB at least ten yards further downfield.

He looks slow.

Dude had an open field.

Gets caught by the S/LB and fumbles.

That’s why 4.61 doesn’t work in the NFL.

No one catches Turpin from behind on that play.

That wasn't even a fumble. The ball hit the ground which is down by contact. If there wasn't a DB already downfield he scores there.

Ya, 65 yard receptions really suck if you don’t score. What a bum.

The DB caught him.

Slow.

Shoot, off the rip this guy is better than Tolbert.

That's a very low bar.

Better yet, have you bought into him even actually making the cut? This is not an anointing oil thread topic. Players' careers are made or broken in regular-season and/or postseason games. This topic asks if you believe he earned his opportunity. What he actually does with his opportunity from this moment on is not the question.

I bought in after what I saw him do in the preseason Seahawks game. Practice does not sell me. What a player does or does not do in a simulated game, even against backups, matters to me. At minimum, for wide receivers and tight ends, I want to see receptions caught within the player's catch radius. High/low passes. Throws placed in front and behind. Adjusting by jumping or diving for the ball. Fighting successfully for positional advantage against their defender.

A wide receiver's number one responsibility is catching catchable passes because no quarterback will ever throw perfect passes 100% of the time. It is still their job to haul in catchable passes, not the quarterback's.

I watched Michael Irvin coaching up Brown in @Xizor's thread. Irvin has always been supportive of any Cowboys player he has ever met. He has always lent his expertise to anyone. Irvin advises defensive players on what they should be looking for. That is the kind of guy he is.

What Irvin does not do is overhype the potential he sees in a young receiver. He knows what it takes. Irvin sees All-Pro potential in Brown. He likely bought in well before I did.

Aren’t they also from the same HS? Seems like that also could be a motivating factor for Irv.

 

[CowboyStar88]

Are there people saying that if he’s not Dez Bryant he sucks? How about Mike? He ran a 5.52.

Are we gonna be mad if an UDFA doesn’t make the hall of fame?

Let the man live

He’s absolutely obsessed with 40 speed it’s weird.

 

[CowboyStar88]

WRs with 4.61 speed are at a disadvantage. They are limited to the boundary/possession role. This works if they can catch, which Cam seems to have that ability..

Too slow for slot and they can’t stretch the field.

Which is why we saw Cam get dragged down on the long run he had in preseason.

If someone gets hurt, he might get more game reps.

You compared Barham to Marist… Sooooo

Both did attend St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale. Their association would pump up Irvin every bit as much as whenever he has ever run into any of his fellow Miami Hurricanes alums.

Cam is the slowest WR on the team.

It’s a basic measure of a football players ability to run.

NFL Combine.

I'm happy he is on the 53. I wonder if injuries pile up though, if he might end up cut with an attempt to get him on the PS at some point during the year

Maybe.

I’d guess they cut the scrub RB3 from AZ first.

He is Adam’s pet cat though.

Fumbles?

I love the kid, but in the short term to me it's just a numbers game. You need a 3rd RB (I don't consider Luepke to be that) before you need a 6th WR. Plus, DeMercado is a proven good STs guy while Brown is a guy we are pretty sure can play STs. Long term Brown is the much better prospect.

Boring or not, they agree with you:

Yup.

Someone has to go though.

They already pushed out SamWill for Von Miller, who is probably washed up. Broaddus hates that signing. Von is untouchable.
