Tim Jennings. I'm also a believer that Howard can improve his pass-catching. I think he'll do well in the screen-game and be a fairly reliable check-down type back this year.

Jamaal Charles, Maurice Jones-Drew and the list goes on and on. These trolls act like pass catching backs just became a thing.

I hope you're right. I believe he could become effective, just not great like Gurly. 300 receiving yards maybe?

Anyone that doubts Howard is moron, he's clearly top 5.
Pace set this team up and had his eye on his guy for a few years, to succeed in the NFL is with mis matches and that's what Howard and Cohen will provide.

No one doubts the guy. They just think there are more well-rounded guys in the top five. We're all glad he's here.

Probably not the YPC(5.1 is pretty high in general), but in terms of yds and TDs? Yes. Last season he stilled averaged nearly 100 yards on the ground per game, and had 7 TDs in 10 games.
You mean Dez, who had 50 receptions that year...and Witten?
And certainly offenses can plan more for Dak and Zeke now, that's true. Doesn't help that Garrett seems to run a cookie cutter offense. Zeke was fine last season though. The bigger issues for Dak to me was losing Zeke as someone who was shouldering the load on offense and garnering defensive attention, plus Tyron Smith's injury. Dak is still the type of QB that needs a good support system to let him play at his best, particularly with making good decisions(a la Russell Wilson early in his career).
Well we lost Terrance Williams, Bryant and Witten. Those hurt but Bryant is seriously in decline and was not an efficient target for Dak. Williams was solid but had 0 TDs. Witten was reliable in the end zone, but his limited mobility hindered his bigger play effectiveness outside the red zone.
Allen Hurns is quite solid and I hope he will get to shine more with the Cowboys. We drafted Michael Gallup, who is a good athlete and I think he'll definitely get some looks.
We still have Cole Beasley, who was the leading receiver on that 2016 team.
Not going to deny we downgraded on the receiving side, but it's not like we had Fitzgerald,Boldin, and Breaston out there each getting 1,000+ yards receiving. The team's bread and butter is the run game.

And that is exactly what I am thinking. I don't expect him to suddenly become a wide receiver with a running back number, but I expect him to catch a larger percentage more of passes thrown to him.

A lot of homers itt
Howard is an easy to root for no nonsense downhill low bend runner, but he’s not elite. He’s just not well-rounded enough to compare to the 3-down, route running, power/speed backs that make up the true top 5.

I, no doubt, take Johnson, Bell, Gurley, and Elliott over Howard. After that, you can certainly argue him as the 5th, but his lack of catching ability probably drops him out of the top five if we're being realistic. Kamara and Hunt could be argued as better with one or two more dynamic seasons, and saying Freeman is better than Howard isn't unrealistic either. As a Bears fan, I take Howard over Freeman, but objectively, it's hard to argue against Freeman being better overall.

I think some can't come to term with one cut backs as being special. It's not dancing with the stars.

Definitely not top 5, but that doesn't mean he's not damn good in his own right.
