Savage Beatings Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Every story that I read or hear about lately involving the Cowboys' Wide Receivers pretty much ignores the existence of Patrick Crayton. They talk about TO and they talk about Terry Glenn's injuries, but then they skip over any mention of Crayton and start speculating on trades for Roy Williams or Pacman playing both ways. I thought that Crayton was becoming a pretty integral part of that offense. Am I mistaken about that? Is he not good enough to carry the load opposite TO? What's his deal?

MrTed46 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 They did extend his contract near the end of last season so I am assuming they like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Crayton looks like he's a solid #3 WR, but I don't know if he's capable of being a legit threat as a #2 WR. He has shown flashes of brilliance, but then he disappears. I've also heard, and I don't know how accurate it is, but it is from reports out of DAL, that they really like the athleticism and progress of Stanback and expect him to develop into a starter within the next year or so.

Spot on with what I've read also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kansas State 2000 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Crayton looks like he's a solid #3 WR, but I don't know if he's capable of being a legit threat as a #2 WR.

I've also heard, and I don't know how accurate it is, but it is from reports out of DAL, that they really like the athleticism and progress of Stanback and expect him to develop into a starter within the next year or so. This is exactlly correct. Stanback was a QB in college and had to overcome injury (ankle i believe) so his development as a WR has been hindered. He has shown the coaches some big play ability and they are excited about the chances of him being a major contributor on offense and special teams. I'm excited to see him play this year.

If the cowboys lose glenn, crayton may move up the ladder. He has some speed, but I totally agree he hasn't proven he can be consistent.

JoJoTheWebToedBoy Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Crayton had his shot last year and couldn't do anything with it.... Like everyone else, this guy is a boarderline #3 WR at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byron2112 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Isn't the deal with Crayton that he's nothing special? He's the Dallas version of Doug Gabriel. He has some tools to work with and teases some, but really never puts anything consistent together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want him for your team, you only need to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHISOX Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Crayton is on the WW in my dynasty leagues.........and for some reason he's being bid on here lately. I don't see why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Messiahs Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 He has shown flashes of brilliance, but then he disappears. Disappears the same time that Tony Romo disappears with Jessica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whomper Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I was big on him last year . He was decent. Nothing special. I absolutley hate the way he carries the ball after a catch. He is a fumble waiting to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturphy Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 This is exactlly correct. Stanback was a QB in college and had to overcome injury (ankle i believe) so his development as a WR has been hindered.

So Stanback has a shot at the big time? I was mystified by that pick when it happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo mama Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Crayton is on the WW in my dynasty leagues.........and for some reason he's being bid on here lately. I don't see why. Probably because people are wondering about Terry Glenn's ability to stay healthy this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
