Cowboyz1 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Dallas has one heck of a scouting department and secondly, we have good coaching. Austin is big fast, smart and hungry. I think he has a monster year with Dez insuring they can't role too much coverage his way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Cid Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 A one year wonder does not a great WR make. Just because he was the only WR last year that had the reasonable expectation of not dropping the ball meant that it was going to him more. That being said, if he backs it up with stellar numbers this year then I'll jump on the bandwagon. As it stands right now he's not a stud but has the upside to be one. The problem is that he's being drafted too high for my likes. I'd look at him in late third round or fourth but he will be long gone by then.

Gee, I feel like a real idiot for drafting him in the first round in two leagues and rostering him in my keeper and dynasty leagues that he helped me win championships in last year. Oh well, there's always next year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lkirc Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Austin made a lot of big plays last year getting behind the defense and by using his open field skills after the catch. I feel he surprised defenses to some extent last year, but honestly feel he does have a skill set that lends itself to being a very productive big play receiver. He is WR5 on my board.

Oh well, there's always next year... I thought he was a fraud after 3 weeks last year and wanted to move him while his stock was high... nobody bit without offering a ridiculous trade that I ended up balking at and it turned out that he was a stud who just kept on producing just about every week.... I see no reason he won't be a top 10 WR unless he isn't on the field... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is WR5 on my board. it's not just when he goes deep...it's the button hook play that he does almost with his eyes closed as he turns around and shakes the corner running down field for another 20...

whomper Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 (edited) Years ago we had a David garrard thread that I could never seem to find again. I think h8 started it (big john ? ) In that thread it was said by many that Garrard was better than Romo and the only reason Romo had better numbers was because Romo had T.O and better weapons and that Jac was a run driven team. I agree with the fact that Jac relies more on the run. So T.O leaves and Romo I guess just got lucky again and found Miles Austin. I think Austin is very talented. I think the jury is still somewhat out and I would like to see him have a year like last year or close to it before I completely drown in the kool aid. I will say this though. He is a product of a system that allows a # 1 wr to thrive and he has a QB that can flat out make a star out of you because he knows how to make a big play and throws a nice deep ball. Im not talking about Romo choking and all of that. I am just talking about a guy that makes his weapons better. It is undenyable. Avernus fought me to the death that it was T.O and not Romo that accounted for those stats. Now the faces have changed but the stats remain the same...or better Edited September 2, 2010 by whomper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avernus fought me to the death that it was T.O, Witten and a strong OL and not Romo that accounted for those stats. Now the faces have changed but the stats remain the same...or better fixed and yeah, Dallas is in a pass first offense - Romo is better than Garrard, but Garrard will never have the weapons Romo does so the argument has zero legs on both sides due to two very different offensive systems and talent on both of these teams...

I think he has a monster year with Dez insuring they can't role too much coverage his way. Yes, and with Austin I distinctly remember driving around in 2007 -- around this time of year -- and hearing Jeff Ireland, then the Cowboys VP of Personnel, on the radio talking about "a guy that everyone will hear about one day named Miles Austin." I remember because when I got home I had to look him up to familiarize myself again. Then in 2008 if you recall he was discussed heavily on Hard Knocks, his raw talent and speed, but sprained his MCL in the preseason. Coaches and teammates were crushed b/c it was supposed to be "his year." Summary: I don't think Austin was a surprise at all to those he works with.

Avernus Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 You can thank me later: http://forums.thehuddle.com/index.php?show...845&hl=romo that was a fun read and nothing much has changed even though the players have a little bit... Romo has 1 playoff win under his belt as does Garrard (I think) but Romo is and has been pretty much what I said back in 2008 - a Pro-Bowl QB I even made Dallas my 2010 Superbowl favorites in the NFC....about a month ago and now I'm back to the Packers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 (edited) Gee, I feel like a real idiot for drafting him in the first round in two leagues Well you should for drafting him that high. He may end up producing great results but the first round is definitely idiot territory. Oh and I have him in a couple of leagues. But he's being drafted late 2nd or early 3rd, so you paid a high price. Edit: This insult is based on the assumption that this a redraft league and you aren't in two 24 team leagues.

And I always lower Cowboys a couple of spots here A lot of you get far too hung up on where a player should be drafted. I wanted Jamaal Charles and Miles Austin as the core of my team. Safe? Hell no. but you don't beat out 144 serious players with "safe. So I took them when I could get them. Would either have been available at my next pick at the 3-4 turn? No way. I'd rather regret taking my shot with the guys I REALLY wanted instead of settling for the guys the ADP and the cheat sheets said I should take. All that matters is the end results. I pimped both of these guys, and I put my $$ where my mouth is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
