Comments on: Cowboys offer to Spencer will be “much less than he is going to take” http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/02/24/cowboys-contract-offer-to-spencer-will-be-much-less-than-he-is-going-to-take/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Sun, 26 May 2013 04:24:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: redsoxu571 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/02/24/cowboys-contract-offer-to-spencer-will-be-much-less-than-he-is-going-to-take/#comment-2353394 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 16:56:58 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1764790#comment-2353394 db3300, you’re not quite right that Spencer has “underperformed”. He was a bit raw coming out of college, and has improved steadily over his career. He was a part-time pass-rusher (as expected) his first couple of years, then he developed into a starting-caliber player who wasn’t quite the pass-rusher hoped. Two years ago he took another (subtle) step forward, and he really blossomed this season. His career has be trending upwards from the start…he’s hardly the first player who took time to develop.

It also doesn’t help that Spencer’s greatest strength (run stopping) doesn’t net the stats that people notice. Scouts knew he was improving even when the numbers didn’t show it, and now we know he’s a very good player.

Sorry, my mind re-wound to the mid 90′s there for a second.

Spencer has under-performed for most of his career until he was in a contract year.

With an all pro season, Spencer priced himself out Jerry’s price range. I think it means Dallas goes for a DE in the first round. Ansah perhaps?
