PrintAlright haters. I'm gonna walk all the way out on the ledge, and I aint scared of fallin. Isaiah Stanback is the only healthy wideout we have after T.O. and Crayton so instead of hatin on dude, lets get behind him.
Im gonna go ahead and say that not only will Stanback be solid, but he will show enough electricity to push Austin and Hurd. Call me crazy but Stanback is the best athlete on this team not named Owens or Ware. I know it takes more than athleticism, but contrary to popular blog belief, Stanback is an intelligent guy. You dont play QB for 3 years in big boy football without being sharp.
Anybody else who would harness up a bum shoulder for the sake of the greater good would be called a hero so give dude a little credit.
Over the course of the next month Isaiah Stanback will justify the hype that has surrounded his name since last years draft.

no doubt Stanback is special
and the heir to T.O. I agree 100%, all the haters will be lovin’ this kid in time.
In Romo we Trust
He'll play the first game
then its IR for Stanback. I can’t see how he can contribute for 16 games without screwing up his shoulder.
Im with you GloryDayz
Why hate on a kid that has tons of upside and is willing to play hurt. He could easily complain about the pain, sit in whirlpool all day and collect his paycheck at the end of the week. Instead he’s taping it up, ignoring the pain and is out there practicing and trying to get better. We should suport Stanback, not try to tear him down.
You got it Glory
I have not always been excited about Stanback, and with Miles and Hurd starting to show they can play this preseason, i will admit that I have come close to resigning that Stanback will never make it as a receiver, but I think a lot of it has come from him not getting a chance to play that much. Who among us really thought much about a couple late round choices named Patrick Crayton and Terrence Copper only a few short years ago. Eventually, at the end of 2005 (i believe, right?) in the last few games, they had the opportunity to play, and they made some plays. Copper ended up going over the New Orleans with Coach Payton, and has got himself a good situation there as a slot receiver. Crayton has turned into a VERY solid number 2 (contrary to a lot of what is written here, he is a bona fide starter in this league). It started to happen for Austin and Hurd this preseason, and maybe now, with some playing time, Stanback will step up. This scouting team has results with late round receivers. Not 100, but 60-70 is good at that level.
Thank you Glory.....well said.....
If only we had all our fans stand behind all our players, especially players that put their team ahead of their own personal health…
I’m on that ledge with you…..and stand behind Stanback 100%….future rising star of the best team in the world.

right on
I’m with you and I’ll be rooting for him for sure. I think our #3-5 WRs are actual inverse in long-term potential. Miles will likely surpass Sam this season if he hasn’t already, and Isaiah has more upside than both of them maybe in a year or two. Actually Miles or Isaiah could become legitimate #2 receivers. It is way to early to pass judgment on any of them, and seeing how they progress this season is one of the things I’m most excited about watching for. And this is a good opportunity for Isaiah to get some real snaps and progress faster than he would have otherwise.
+1 this is a great opportunity for Stanback to shine...which is why he's playing...
If he can avoid getting direct hits on the shoulder, or avoid being pile driven down on it…it will hold up…..they just don’t pop out of the socket easily, unless there is serious pressure applied against it…obviously kick offs are a no go, and i’m not sure i’d do the reverses either…….but takin’ db’s 15 +yards downfield, the odds are he’ll be wrapped up, and won’t get pounded……even as a decoy going deep everytime will be enough for us to exploit any defense…

I hope he does
Well but the guy is always hurt……Lets hope hurd and austin get healthy fast I dont see Isiah staying healthy enough to help us past next week……
I bet Austin comes back the following week
last I read his knee was healing faster than expected, and supposedly he was suppose to be out 4-6 weeks. And I believe it will be 4 weeks next week if I am not mistaken.
hyperbaric
in an interview on DC.com Miles was asked if he was in the hyperbaric chamber and made some joke about getting T.O. to bring his into the training facility. If they really work that well, I’m surprised the team doesn’t have one that the players can use.
I want all the guys to heal quick
we need a full deck to contend for the big prize.

I'm 100% behind Stanbach
And hope to see his very 1st NFL touchdown this weekend in Cleveland!
I think its great that he’s putting the team before himself and playing through the pain.When we get Miles and sam back healthy….We’ll be LOADED with difference makers!
LET’S GO COWBOYS!!!!!
You'll never get in a traffic jam,while going the extra mile. -Roger staubach
This is an enormous opportunity for Stanback
And what better opening team to compete against to get his confidence up? The Browns secondary is pretty weak. Go get em kid!
Now is his time.
Good post, Glory. Tis time we all support the team we have instead of looking for greener grass in our neighbors’ yards.
Stanback in ’08!
That #38 sure should wrap up!
I agree Glory
But it seems like the majority of bloggers share the same view. I can only think of 2 guys that constantly touted the scrubs over Stanback, and I don’t see them posting on this thread, LOL.
I hope Stanback’s shoulder holds up through the season so we can watch his progression each week.
I would add a couple players that rival him in athleticism, T-New, Pac, and El Gato.
T-New, shutting down WR's for Dallas since 2003

He’s not healthy period. Stanback being a project Wr should be on the PS more so than the active roster. Were asking a little much from such a raw player who hasn’t learned the position. The only reason he is not on IR right now, IMO is because we don’t have enough healthy bodies.
Look up... get up...Don't ever, ever give up!!
he would be signed off the PS
in a NY second which is why it would be moronic to put him there, unlike guys like Amendola who are a dime a dozen.
Face it Boyz, your hatred of Stanback is blinding you to the fact that he’ll be fine this season in the limited role we’ll ask of him. The injury actually should get better over time this season and the surgery can easily be delayed for Feburary.
In Romo we Trust
Off course it's too late
He not eligible for the PS. He has been active for more than 10 games.
I’m a realist. I understand, unlike some here that Stanback is a project. My expectations of him are low at this point. He is not the next TO like some want him to be. He is not going to come in here and tear it up when he barely knows what the heck he is doing to begin with. He has a long ways to go before that point.
Here’s the facts Terry whether you want to believe them or not that’s your problem.
He is not healthy.
He needs surgery.
He is the #3 Wr because we have no other option. If not he would be the #5 and inactive for much
of the season.
He will end up on IR either by him getting hurt again, which is a given or once Austin and Hurd come back Jerry will shut him down to have the surgery. I’ll eat my hat if one or the other doesn’t happen. The player is injury prone so you figure it out…
Amendola or Jefferson will be the #5 or #6 at some point this season.
Stanback is another Merriman. Both are heading for IR whether they like it or not. It’s a matter of when. And in both cases the owners are going to make the decision to shut them down at some point.
Look up... get up...Don't ever, ever give up!!
do want salt or pepper with your hat?
I’m so glad you think he’s not going to be the next T.O. because that means he will be!
Lets see, you predicted Flo would not be re-signed, Newman would be franchised and that Spencer would be starting this year. If I was in Vegas, I’d bet the house on the opposite of everything you say will happen….and here’s the kicker..I’d be really rich!
In Romo we Trust
ok
I live in Vegas, what should I be betting on?
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
Your going to make a ton of cash
If you bet that Stanback will end of on IR this season. :)
That’s a no brainer there……easy money..lol
Look up... get up...Don't ever, ever give up!!
Never said anything about Flo
and Spencer will be starting on first and second downs once he comes back. Sounds like a starter to me. Whatever works, because he will be entrenched as the starter offically next year. Ellis has one foot out the door. Stanback will never, ever be a TO. The guy may not be on this team next season. With his injury history his time is short if he doesn’t toughen up. I’m pulling for the guy because he is a cowboy, but I just don’t see him ever developling into a good Wr. He has Matt Jones all over him….
Look up... get up...Don't ever, ever give up!!

He is not ready to play Wr. That's what it comes down to...
and that’s the general opinion. He is not healthy first of all. He is being thrown into the meat grinder because of injurys. The kid has no business being the #3 Wr on this team. Hear it here on DallasCowboy.com.

He's on the inside more than anyone here
I’ve been a fan of the show for a few years along with Mickey’s and they are usually right on with there reporting. You have to agree in this:
Stanback is not ready
Stanback is hurt
Stanback has a long long way to go before being a accomplished Wr in this league.
Don’t get your hopes too high on the player or you will be dissapointed.
Look up... get up...Don't ever, ever give up!!
I don't always agree with Eatman 100%
but I think he’s usually got pretty sound analysis and does have unique insights from his inside info.
I listen to all their shows too (put them on an iPod when I go walking in the morning, which is an advantage of the time difference)
can he give us
some Miles Austin action and run a couple of streaks from the slot? Cleveland secondary is horrible..
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We know he’s playing injured (shows how bad he wants it)
We know he’s the 5th WR talent wise right now, and he’s being thrust into the 3rd spot (that means the coaches have more confidence in him than Jefferson or Amendola, even playing hurt)
We know he’s got some growing pains ahead (but he wants to get out there and help the team)
Nobody is expecting a TO like performance, so nobody will be disappointed if he catches 0,1 or 2 passes for a few yards. He’s the 3rd WR, he’s not going to get many touches.
Why don’t you stop trying to prove to us how bad he’ll be, and root for the guy. Don’t you want him to pan out and become a real threat for the Cowboys down the road?
T-New, shutting down WR's for Dallas since 2003
Actually he is the #4 Wr
option if you want to consider Witten or Crayton the #3.

It appears to me that Boyzfan94 is hoping stanback fails, so he can so I told you so..
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
not at all
I hope he does well, but my expectations of him are very little for this game. I just hope Austin and Hurd can come back real soon.
Look up... get up...Don't ever, ever give up!!
+1 ...he's certainly all about the "I told you so's"
But his assessment of Stanbacks talent, ability, and progression is so far off, that i’m not too worried about him being able to come back with a “You heard it here first” approach….Stanback is simply going to prove him wrong, which is why arguing Stanbacks potential stardom is like being a Salmon during molting season….Instead of standing behind his players, he digs a fox hole and stands by his own skewed evaluation that Stanback is some “raw” Matt Jones wanna be, and that he’ll never amount to anything as a WR in the NFL, even though no such expert, or avid fan who’s seen him perform is in agreement with him……..go figure…eh ?? He goes on to say he wishes he does well, I don’t buy it….after countless posts saying we should throw him on IR, he’s not healthy, he’s not ready, he’s too raw, he’s way way too far away of learning the postion, etc .etc .etc .etc……beating his own dead horse…i say……….to be honest with you….I hope and pray Stanback breaks off a few monster plays, just to shut ‘em up already…..it’s way way too old…..If he hasn’t seen the potential and promise he’s shown in the few glimpses he’s played thus far….he never will…..I honestly believe he’d rather see Stanback get injuerd sunday, so there’s a remote chance he can get his boy “Rudy” elevated from the practice squad, just to say “I told you so”.
……too bad it would be Jefferson to be the one promoted….

and I thought me and you were good now
lol, guess not..
I’m not wishing Stanback getting injured because he will do that just fine on his own at some point this season. Do I think he shoud be on the active roster as the #3 Wr….hell no!. The player hasn’t proven a darn thing to be in that position. And the only reason he is the #3 Wr is because of injuries.
People like you and everyone else need to stop drinking the Stanback cool-aid because he has done absouletly nothing to think he can be a good Wr. He needs to show something other than he can return the football on kickoffs without fumbling the ball, or getting injured. Just because Nick Eatman and many others, including posters on this blog aren’t drinking the cool-aid is no reason to get pissy. The facts are the facts.
Stanback is is very raw and he is injury prone. He won’t be a factor on Sunday so don’t start him in your fantasy league……..
Look up... get up...Don't ever, ever give up!!
I'd rather drink Kool-Aid with Stanback
than be all dehydrated like you!
Your moniker is:
“Look up…get up…Don’t ever, ever give up!!”
That sounds like Stanback to me. Maybe you should not “give up” on him so easily.
Look what Dallas has done w/Crayton in converting him to a WR. I think they think they’ve got something going in the personnel dept. that allows them to keep trying to be like the Steelers. This isn’t Jacknsonville. We already have one successful QB conversion. Why not continue developing the other?

Not given up Big
just being realistic. Were not talking about a first round pick here. He is a 4th round project who has a long shot of making it. I maybe a cowboy fan, but I’m a realist. I’m not expecting alot from him. Show me Stanback! prove me and everyone else out there that he can go through a whole season without being injured, be able to hang onto the football. Something…Than I would gladly retract my statements about him. To this point he hasn’t shown anything more than Amendola or Jeffereson…
Look up... get up...Don't ever, ever give up!!
He's shown more than Jefferson
and Amendola. I know it’s not a lot more, but he still woulda been drafted had Dallas not taken him.

I must confess...
…I was skeptical of his durability with this repeat injury of the same shoulder.
But you’re on point, Glory Dayz, Isaiah Stanback is indeed showing an element of toughness by his willingness to play through such an injury.
Big-Up to da Big Boy for that!!!
I like the kid, but I gots to admit that Miles Austin is my favorite behind TO, Witten, and Crayton. However, I want them all to get healthy and all to succeed!!!

Stanback
I always find these types of posts interesting (uncomfortable?) because my interpretation is that the author assumes that some bloggers actually hate Stanback, or even worse, are cheering for him to fail. Perhaps it is a cultural language barrier I have regarding the word hating.
GloryDaze88, I hope you haven’t interpreted my posts as hating Stanback, because that was never my intent. Call me skeptical right now because I’m a prove-it-on-the-field sort of guy. For whatever reason(s), he hasn’t produced on the field and the lack of production has been followed up by a litany of excuses. Perhaps the excuses have been justified but in my opinion they weren’t. That certainly doesn’t mean I hate him. And to the best of my knowledge, nobody has ever questioned his intelligence or athletic ability (thought I don’t closely read all the posts).
Its great Stanback can make it back for the first part of the season, especially when the Cowboys so desperately need capable receivers. I’m 100% with you in that I’m totally behind him (and all Cowboys) and hope for a great season. It looks like he will be given 3-5 games to prove. I hope his play justifies a permanent leap over Austin and Hurd on the depth chart and that by November he is pushing Crayton for the starting job opposite TO. While I’m not holding my breath, I sure will be cheering hard for him to succeed.
by Cowboy Louie on Sep 2, 2008 7:26 AM CDT reply actions
you're expecting too much from him Louie
Stanback was drafted as a project WR, not somebody who could come in and play right away. Just look at Austin, he played WR all 4 years in college but it took him 3 full seasons to finally come into his own and start showing his potential.
The fact that Stanback is actually getting the playing time that he is at this stage in his career just shows how truly athletically talented he really is. I think next season is when you’ll start to see the results you’re looking for, but to have expected them last season or even this season is too unrealistic given that he has to learn the WR position all over again. In time he will and then you’ll be extremely happy with the results.
In Romo we Trust
+1 couldn't have said it better Terry........he's considered a project yet Crayton, Austin, and Hurd didn't produce a thing in 3 years here...
and some here actually want to give up on this project now, even though he has more athleticism and ability than all three of our other receivers….If he isn’t producing by the end of NEXT year, then i’d understand a reason for some to become sceptical…………..for now he’s our 3rd WR……some should show him the damn respect that he deserves for playing through an injury to better our team…this valuable experience will do nothing but improve his developement….I hope he blows away the sceptics and retains this 3rd spot for the whole year…..

No
He’s getting playing time because the guys in front of him are not available.
Let’s take off the rose colored glasses for a minute here.
Stanback has done nothing against 2nd and 3rd stringers to suggest he can stick as a WR in this league.
Having said that, any true Cowboys fan will be rooting hard for him (and all of the pass catchers) to have a huge game against a suspect secondary in Cleveland.
Frankly, I’m more worried about our special Teams and Defense than how we will play on offense.

I think your a little off Glory
Isaiah Stanback is the only healthy wideout we have after T.O. and Crayton
The problem is he is NOT healthy. He is going to need surgery at some point. The only healthy Wr’s we have outside of TO and Crayton are Amendola and Jefferson. I personally don’t think Stanback is going to make the season healhy. At some point he will land on IR.
Look up... get up...Don't ever, ever give up!!
sounds healthy enough to go this week
Best thing about it is, this will all sort it self out this week..
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
I think it because of desperation
If we had a healthy Austin and Hurd he would be inactive as the #5 Wr.
Look up... get up...Don't ever, ever give up!!
No one is arguing that Boyz
We all KNOW he would be the #5 if Hurd and Austin were healthy, but they aren’t. So this week he’s the #3. Is it possible he gets reinjured? Yes! But for now he’s the #3. When Austin and Hurd return will he drop down the depth chart? Most likely. But for now he’s the #3. Would I rather have rookie Danny Boy or Jefferson (who cant get off the PS) instead? I cant honestly answer that, but Garrett and Phillips seem to think he’s the better option and they know more about it than any of us including the self appointed experts on this blog. So for now he’s the #3.
Quit hating the fact he’s the #3 because there’s nothing to be done for it right now. Instead, get behind the player on your favorite team and root for him, rather than tearing him down, because right now…he’s the #3.
I'm pulling for him, but were in trouble as him being the #3 Wr.
We better pray Hurd and Austin come back quick. I don’t expect him to be very active in the offense this Sunday. Looks like a heavy dose of TO, Crayton and Witten to make up for it.

You guys better hope Stanback plays well
Or else a lot of you will look really ridiculous. I mean I hope Stanback plays well. I think he has a lot of potential. But you guys are acting like he is the second coming before he has made his first regular season catch. Lets not get ahead of ourselves.
+1000 quincy......stop drinking the feakin cool-aid already
I’ve never seen so much hype for a injury prone project player in my life. Man, you guys are in for one big let down if he doesn’t do well.
Look up... get up...Don't ever, ever give up!!
what's the big deal?
jeez, what I see is a lot of people saying give the guy a chance, recognizing that he’s raw in the position and only in this situation because of injuries, but also recognizing that he has a lot of natural talent and a big upside and hoping he does well with this opportunity he’s been given, and also giving him credit for fighting through the injury to get himself ready to play. I’m not sure why there’s so much to argue about.
I don't see anybody going crazy
Just the militant anti-Stanback clique. The rest of us are fan of the team and hope he does well.

I've always been a Stanback fan
and here is what I am referring to:
Im gonna go ahead and say that not only will Stanback be solid, but he will show enough electricity to push Austin and Hurd. Call me crazy but Stanback is the best athlete on this team not named Owens or Ware.
kudos to that statement

well, for one people think
he is this special Wr, the next TO if you will, that is going to come in save the day. That’s the problem with people’s logic. Time to take off the rose colored glasses everyone. It’s not going to happen. The expectations of Stanback should be very low for a player with his experience and knowledge of the position. The only thing people can hope for is that he doesn’t end up on IR after the game.
Look up... get up...Don't ever, ever give up!!
Hey, I'm not expecting much from the guy.
like he’s gonna be baby TO or anything—Brandon Marshall’s already got that going.
I just think it’s great that Dallas emphasizes developing their own players, ala Romo and Crayton instead of having to draft key positions way up high or pick through FA.
If Stanback has 3 catches in the game, that would be more than enough. He’s just gotta hold off long enough till Austin can return. In all likelihood, he’ll just be a body out there in 3WR sets to get Felix open on the screen or JWitt on an out route.

+1 Big
The only person Ive noticed on here saying he’s the next TO, or more precisely, TOs eventual replacement, is Terry. If that indeed happens as he believes…AWESOME! I myself, and I dare say most others see a kid with alot of updside that can possibly develop into another weapon for Garrett and the offense. We arent wearing rose-colored glasses and expecting him to be this unstoppable force like Boyz claims. Instead we are rooting for a guy thats injured but is still willing to stick his nose in there and try to contribute. All I’m saying is quit throwing the kid under the bus before he even gets some meaningful snaps.
also, I've never said he'd be T.O. this year
I always said he definitely has all the talent and ability to become the next T.O. and I think in time he will. You have to give the kid at least 3 years minimum however anyone who knows how to evaluate talent knows this kid has a chance to be really special, I’m confident he will be.
That being said, I’m not expecting much from him Sunday because he still is very raw, I’m hoping his main contributions to the team while Hurd and Austin will be stretching the field to open up underneath coverages for Witten, T.O. and the Cat. If we get anything more than that from him, its all gravy.
In Romo we Trust
I am guilty of saying
that Dallas is grooming Stanback to be a starter. I guess that’s easy to say of any WR draft pick in the top 4 rounds.
Why else would they draft him though? He’s Ray Sherman’s project again now that Lowbar & Co. are gone.
Much like Bennett is with Garrett—every asst. coach needs a project player to develop. Hmm..

yeah, but its more than that
Stnaback has special talents and its obvious that there are fans here that are incapable of seeing it.
Once he learns the position, then he’ll start making the plays everyone wants to see.
In Romo we Trust
3 Years!
How on earth can you justify giving a guy who’s switching positions and going from college to the NFL three years? He’s been more than two weeks and hasn’t produced yet therefore he is officially a bust! Everyone, on the count of 3. One….two….three! And under the bus we toss him!
I sense sarcasm.
My feeling is that Dallas will continue to develop him for the full four years of his rookie contract. When that is up, they will reevaluate Stanback and see how he fits on their team next year.
It’s all good what they are doing with Isaiah. I think they should always look for college QBs to convert and they should always have one on the active roster for development. Too many college athletes go unnoticed because they are playing the wrong position for advancement into the pros.

we need him to get healthy
So we can our trick plays with the former QB.
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
He was a lefty QB in college right?
T.O. and Crayton can throw, too. Bet both those guys have a pass this year.

uuuuh-see, now that's tight right there
He is a pretty cool guy. Those WRs have to have a bunch of confidence and he isn’t lacking in that department!
