With all the problems we've and have had the last few years with our receiving corps...how is it that Parcells, Ireland, and Sparano bring over Fasano, Polite, and Adele and somehow forget to drag Miles Austin with them too? Unbelievable! Don't tell me they didn't know this guy was a beast. Hell, bet we could have traded him for Ginn at that time too. lol

He was what? 4th or 5th on that roster at the end of the 2008 season. Now, look at this guy destroying defenses. The fact that our Management has allowed us to start two seasons without a true #1 receiver, means that these guys are missing the boat when it comes to the passing game. Henne doesn't have a chance until we get this corrected. Don't get me going on our middle linebackers or safety issues.. :ponder:

WHY TUNA? WHY? :crazy:



FYI:Read it and weep!!!
Austin got his first NFL start on October 11, 2009 against the Kansas City Chiefs, as a replacement for injured Roy Williams. Austin had 10 catches for 250 yards (a Cowboys record for receiving yards in a single game, breaking Bob Hayes' 246-yard effort in 1966 against the Washington Redskins) and 2 touchdowns including the 60-yard game winner in overtime. Austin made his second career start on October 25 against the Atlanta Falcons replacing Patrick Crayton as the No. 2 receiver. Austin solidified his place as a starting receiver with 171 receiving yards along with 2 touchdowns.
Again...Way to go Tuna-Fish! :crazy:

The thing is that they did but Dallas tendered him as a RFA so we would have had to give up draft picks for him.

what a 3rd 4th or 5th rd pick ?? i would have jerked there damn arm off sometimes its better to give up a draft pick then to recive one :d-day:
 
We may still bring him in. They can't re-sign everyone in the offseason.

No, they put a second round tender on him. At that point he was unproven. It would have been stupid to give up a second for him.

They had first-hand experience with this guy, and they passed on giving picks for him right?...again FOOLS! Who did we have at the end of our wonderful '07 Season, Ginn, Camarillo, and umm hell I forget who else...WTH?! Would you give a 2, 3, or 4th rounder for the guy, or trade Ginn for him? I surely would have traded Ginn after the '07 season!

But hey, they blew our #2 pick on Pat White...this guy WILL NEVER play enough to make a difference with this team. Great college career, but a runt by NFL standards...Defenses will kill him(did anyone see the pathetic option play he tried in the NO game...got thrown down like a rag doll).

Hell, they should have thrown a 2nd rounder at Tebow in next years draft, cause no way that guy is drafted in Round 1. At least he's a man/child and could really do damage as a runner and a passer. White will be squashed if he runs. He has passed once or twice this year right? Missing on a sure TD over the middle on an air ball.

We are soooo screwed this year at WR, TE, MLB, Safety and now on Corner too (I do like Davis and Smith though, jsut need exp).

Parcells and Ireland better get a clue soon, or Henne will lose confidence with every dropped pass. :boohoo:
 
Not everyone is available for the right price. Its called value. I understand the frustration. We are all frustrated with the receiving corps and lack of a dependable deep threat. The next step is to get a true number one. Bowe would have been terrific and Boldin is on my dream list. Neither are going to happen. Do we take a plunge and sign mega$$ for a proven starter or put all the chips in first round? LaFell may be a good option. Heck I wish Julion Jones or AJ Green were ready this coming draft and too bad their only Sophmores this year. Imagine Dez Bryant one day being in Aqua and orange? One can dream can't they.

Again, wouldn't you think Management now working in Miami would know his talent was worth it? The Three Stooges!!

No way Austin is let go by Dallas, he'll resign or get franchised, watch!

But hey, we have these game-changers! LOL

Holy cow there is a lot of anger in this thread! I feel like I'm being yelled at while lurking :)
 
Hindsight 20/20.

How many of us were THRILLED with the addition of Anthony Fasano when Parcells came over? Didn't he have seven touchdowns or something last season? But now this season he ****s the bed and some act as if they knew all along Fasano was a bum and Miles Austin was "the real deal" despite only having a sample size of two games to draw a conclusion from.

Really...?

Seeing that we hold onto draft picks like diamonds, we'd never move up in the draft (Top 5 Picks) to grab a guy like Bryant(if he comes out in 2010), but to pick up a player that is finishing up his rookie contract(4th or 5th year) could be our best option....some guys below that are used to getting the rock.....

WR's (could they be a quality #1)
Steve Breaston
Malcom Floyd
Lance Moore

TE's
Owen Daniels -ok I'd Crap if we signed this guy
Tony Scheffler - Still an awesome receiver
 
I am sorry but I can't blame Parcells or Ireland for not knowing Miles Austin was going to be this good ........3 frickin years before it happened.

How do we know that Turner won't turn out to be another Miles Austin....in 2 years?

I still like Fasano but Daniels would definitely be an upgrade. Daniels abused our passing D in the past. Breaston would be nice. Moore is not a number one but dependable. He is part of a great passing system where the sum is greater than the parts with Colston being the closest thing to a number one.
