I Am One Tired Cowboys Fan

[rcaldw]

Let me vent just a bit please.

So what is our goal in Cowboys land these days?

*To make the playoffs?
*To win enough games that we please a coach who is walking away soon and has already demonstrated, to my mind, that he is living in the past?
*To prove (if you are Jerry Jones) that you can keep from interfering?

None of the above reminds me much of our past, or what I think our future should be. Whatever happened to the day when CHAMPIONSHIPS were our goal?

Oh, I know, you have to crawl before you walk, and walk before you run... yada, yada, yada.

Where you end up has a lot to do with where you AIM.

I remember a day when the Dallas Cowboys were the New York Yankees of Football, not the Houston Astros. I remember when the Cowboys were the Lakers and Celtics not the Timberwolves. (The Celtics aren't even the Celtics anymore)

I'm telling you it has been a long time since I was this discouraged/disinterested as a Cowboys fan.

Bill Parcells doesn't represent what we need. Go ahead, flame me all you Parcells lovers, I don't give a rip.

I'm telling you right now, mark it down to feed it to me later if you wish, the BEST the Dallas Cowboys will do with Parcells in the picture is make the playoffs. No Super Bowls for a team led by a man who can't let young players develop.

Drew Bledsoe?????

-Lets see, at his VERY BEST got a team to the Super Bowl, didn't win it.
-Passed over for Tom Brady (seems New England had a little vision with that move)
-Passed over for J.P. Lohsman (The Bills might not win on this move, but at least they are not stuck in the past)

WHERE OH WHERE CAN DREW BLEDSOE BE VIEWED AS A SURE FIRE STARTER THESE DAYS!!!?

Oh yea, Dallas, the place that is quickly becoming the place for all the Parcells re-treads or guys who resemble them.

I am one tired Cowboys fan.

If it wasn't for Bledsoe Pats wouldn't have gone as far as they had in 01, and Brady went in when Bledsoe got hurt, he wasn't passed over except when the Pats realized they had a young QB who was ready (Key word kids - READY) for prime-time.

I feel your pain - but I for one am glad to see this team on a plan (Whether or not I agree with it) because it sure as heck hasn't been on one from 94-02.

[Fan Since 77]

Good post, and I couldn't agree more.
Assuming we sign Bledsoe, the direction we're taking isn't the right one.
I believe the Parcells agenda can officialy be called into question. Is he doing what's right for the team or is he doing what's right for his career? Nobody questions Parcells desire to win...but to win at the cost of our future? No thanks.

Bledsoe will be another symbol to me that there is no future with this team or Parcells. Sure, we can win a few more games now. Heck, with such a bad NFC, we might even make a wildcard game. Is this our goal? Like you stated, those are the goals of inferior football teams. Not the Cowboys.

A plan? What is it?

-Was Eddie George a part of the master plan?
-How did Richie Anderson work out?
-Quincy Morgan?

There isn't a plan. Parcells is flying by the seat of his pants and hopes to hit on a few players.

Drew Bledsoe is the plan?

Back to the future is the theme for the Parcells plan. Find all your re-treads and plug them in.

I'll tell you one thing, I actually think that Bledsoe has a greater chance of not lasting the season than Vinny. So, maybe we can see a young QB before the year is out. Who knows though, Bill might want to protect Henson, so maybe Parcells will sign Phil Simms if Bledsoe goes down, or Hostetler.

[Champsheart]

Venting can be a good thing!
Let it go man, let it go!

Hey, many may not agree with the how, but I do not question that both Parcells and Jones's goal is to ultimatley win the Super Bowl.
Could they be going about it wrong, sure, but from day one I do not question either one of them in this area.

In regards to Bledsoe, well I see what you are saying, but I also agree with Jerry and Bill that we have to have more than one option. Considering all other options out there stink, I do not think it makes much difference.

I just want a fair competition, and may the best man win, whoever that is Henson, Bledsoe, or Romo, or someone else.
That is all I ask.

Champsheart I could go with you 100%, 1000%, if that was how it really is. But its not. If Bledsoe signs here (what an IF that is, not an if at all in all likelihood), he starts for 2005. No competition.

Was Eddie George a Parcells signing??? Because from all indications it was a Jerry move.

Andersons working out, as questionable as FOBs have been, he's been solid, and note he snatched him away from New England.

Who knows whats with Morgan, I questioned that trade as well.

I just love the overreactors, I can guarantee you when Tuna leaves and we go back to puppet coaches (Because don't kid yourself, it'll be puppet coaches) then everyone will long for the days of when we had Tuna...

Well, I can guarantee you that this isn't any better than Dave Campo in my book. Heck, at least Campo pretended to care about our future. I don't think Parcells cares about a thing but his own stubborn determination to win, at the cost of our future, before he quits. Which means ZERO development of a Quarterback. He can't win short term with a young QB. Thus, Bledsoe, welcome to Dallas.

I know many people believe that, but I am not one of them.

I think everyone feels that way because Henson did not play last year over Vinny. But, I also think Henson was not close to being ready, and really how could he have been, so I just do not see it.

Even though Vinny sucked as an option, I do think Parcells was probably right that Vinny, as bad as he could be at times, gave us the best chance.

Regardless, IMO I think Parcells would love nothing more than for Henson to greatly progress this off-season, and blow everyone away. If Henson is ready to go more than Bledsoe I think Parcells will play him.

I do have a little uncertainty, but ultimately I think he will.

And yes I realize I am probably about to get smacked around, but that is how I see it.

[HTownCowboysFan]

Eddie George would have been much more effective if Julius had not been injured. He was brought he to be a compliment, not a starter.

Richie Anderson has been a fine pick-up--I don't know how one could knock his signing.

Morgan was getting SOMETHING instead of NOTHING for headcase Bryant.

! I'm tired of the bytching about the Cowboys, although that's what message forums are all about. Some need to do a little homework before making posts (ex. "We need to trade Vinny and/or Eddie George! ?). I may not agree with everything that Coach Parcells and Jerry do, but ultimately, they know better than me - or you. And we'd be a hell of a lot worse off if we actually did some of the things suggested here.

Excellent post.......I vented a little yesterday so take your turn because I have only just begun.

Superbowls.......forget it until we once and for all have the answer at the QB position. With Bledsoe we want get close enough to a SB to smell the peanuts and popcorn...........to be continued.

Again excellent post.

Does anyone remember 1989? Wasn't that the 1-15 season and Aikman's first year?

Last time last year, no one wanted to see if Hutchinson would develop, they all wanted Quincy Carter because he gave us the best chance of going 9-7. QC couldn't make a good choice or a good throw, but he gave us the best chance to play 500 ball. Then he let everyone down with poor on, and off, field decision making. Now, should we accept 1-15 next year to see if Henson is the next Aikman or Staubach?

Dallas is a big market city like New York. They expect to win and won't accept losing. That being said, Jerry Jones needs to crawl back on his hands and knees and beg Jimmy Johnson's forgiveness.

Mr Taylor would you please explain "the plan" to me..........I'm just a foolish old Cowboy Fan that just doesn't see it.

[Juke99]

If Bledsoe is signed, especially if it's for fairly large numbers and for more than a year or so, I am gonna :banghead:

Much as I don't like a lot of what Parcells has done, I am willing to extend him benefit of the doubt for this off season (I'm sure he'll be relieved when he reads this :) )...but if the off season starts with the signing of Bledsoe, I'm officially joining Sarge in the full time Parcells Bashing Club....

[Fan Since 77]

Now, should we accept 1-15 next year to see if Henson is the next Aikman or Staubach?

Yes. The other option is to do exactly what we've been doing in this organization since Aikman left. Play the quarterback carousel and stay mired in mediocrity. Does this idea sound good to you fortdick ?

Hey...I'll tell ya what, I liked that 1-15 team MUCH more than this lackluster, old fart, 6-10 team...

I've never understood the "BIG market city" thing...and I LIVE in NY...the same has been said here for the NY Knicks...and the NY Rangers...New York won't stand for a loser...we can't rebuild...and so they go out and lose for a decade....go figure...

The Cowboys have done the same thing...lose for 7-8 years...because the fans won't stand for losing? Makes no sense.

And btw, I agree...Jimmy was THE man...

[Champsheart]

Mr Taylor would you please explain "the plan" to me..........I'm just a foolish old Cowboy Fan that just doesn't see it.

LOL! :)

So really what you are saying is the Dr. Peppers, Gin and Tonics, and Pea Salad does nothing to help your seeing.

Maybe you should start grubbing down on Carrot Loaf. :D

Hey CBZ, I look to you to see the secret of aging.

[HTownCowboysFan]

If Henson is better than Bledsoe, he'll start - end of story. Any argument otherwise is utter nonsense. Parcells has ALWAYS played the best man, no matter pedigree or salary. And don't tell me about Vinny last year - Henson was flat not ready to be on the field in 2005. And if you say he was, when was the last time you were at practice, team meetings, or in coach's meetings?

If Bledsoe is signed, it is because we need a vet QB here just in case. Who in the hell else would you want here? Warner? Garcia? Vinny - as much as everyone bytched about him all year.

I am one tired Cowboys fan.

i am just as tired of the next fan on this board about us not winning and having a proven young franshise qb yet. i am really hoping that henson is the guy for us. i just think that it is a good move to get an experienced veteran qb like bledsoe to bridge the gap before henson. i do not really like bledsoe either but i also believe that parcells does not believe henson will be able to be the starter yet for us. i believe that bledsoes contract will be a cap friendly deal that will help us get rid of bledsoe if henson is ready to start in the future or be able to keep bledsoe around if he does have a great year to play for us beyond this comming season.

Too Funny! :laugh2:

[Seven]

Folks.........We have to go all the way back to the removal of Jimmy Johnson to be correct in our analysis of the current situation. I am as frustrated as the next fan. B.switzer walked into a sweet deal and won another superbowl - barely - and if it wasn't for Emmitt and the then offensive line Dallas would of lost to Pittsburgh for the third time. Larry Brown also saved the game for Dallas.
Switzer was the "YES" boy. As were Gailey and especially Campo. Yes Mr.Jones. Oh sure Mr.jones. Right away Mr. Jones.
Why in the Hell do you think Jimmy left? He was not a YES boy and Jerry cannot handle that. Jerry is the one to rest the blame blanket on. He's the one who's in the war room with draft choices on deck. From 2000 until last year the Dallas draft has absolutely stunk up the place. Did anyone see the Hard Knocks HBO special with the Cowboys training camp? I heard with my own ears Jerry deciding on Quincy Carter because they have the same birth month and zodiac sign. Swear to God on that. Philadelphia,Tennesse and Minnesota all had the Mobile quarterback and Jerry had to have one too. This is the main reason why Dallas is where it's at. Jerry doesn't have a clue on evaluating talent but until late, wouldn't admit it.
Enter Bill Parcells. First and foremost Jerry had to of realized he does not have a nose for talent which is why he hired Parcells. He could've hired another no-name guy and continued losing. He hired Bill cause he knew his current roster was a mess and wasn't gonna get better with him making the decisions.
Now parcells has to clean up this mess and you folks aren't satisfied with the duration of the project. Someone tell me how you fill about 8 positions, and their backups, with quality on both sides of the ball in 1 to 2 seasons? Shall we ask the Skins' boss how effective that is? Also tell me how you successfully turn around current players ,who by now are so spoiled by the Campo era, into winners again. Roy Williams said "guys were just going thru the motions around here. No desire to win." I quote.
I have not heard word one on Larry Allen or Flozell Adams' lack-luster effort.
IMO I think these two guys were the reason Parcells couldn't "put a finger" on what was wrong with this team (without pointing fingers). They both took plays and games off last season. When Jerry Jones stated we need a concerted effort from the guys we have, we are kiding ourselves in thinking it's all the new guys. Parcells brought in some veteran guys to help re-inforce a work ethic that has been a long time missing. He probably just about puked when he saw the wreck this team was in after the Jones/Switzer, Jones/Gailey, Jones/Campo era's.
Let us also remember that coaching staffs do not grow on trees. Heck He's still fine tuning that. That is also going to be a time constraint.
As for comparing Jimmy to Parcells....NOT even fair. Jimmy got a ton of picks with the Herschel trade and a barrel full to pick from. Notice how well Jimmy did at Miami? He walked into a similar deal as Parcells but ran when the team refused to listen and started the tailspin. Wannstedt probably still won't talk to Jimmy after that one!! "Hey Dave...wanna be a head coach?"
There are a million things that go on we don't know about and probably will never know. I am not a hard core Parcells fan and have questioned few of his decisions but ya gotta play with what you have and hopefully at least end up with a decent back-up. Paying what those other teams paid for corners would have been suicide. It's people like Parcells and Belichick refusing the guys who play for money not a championship, and turning the NFL into the NBA.

Is this a vent? Sorry. Not all on the coach....this one.

Have patience.

[Wolverine]

If Bledsoe is signed then I think that after Parcells is done here this team will be much worse then before he came here. We will be a team that has done nothin for the future and we will have a good 3 to 5 years of losin seasons before we can fix all the damage Parcells has done to this team.

I wish Jones would just dump Parcells for even thinkin about bringin in Bledsoe.

[notherbob]

Good post, thats7.

If Henson isn't ready for prime time, then Bledsoe is about as good an option as there is under the circumstances, being an FOB and all. If the Boys do pick up Bledsoe, they had better also find a couple of behemoths for the front line - they'll come in handy when the kid is ready for his big moment. If Henson isn't ready yet, this summer could be Romo's big chance. Now or never.

If Parcells does opt to sign Bledsoe, at least he looked good leading the Bills to a good closing effort that would ultimately cost his new team a higher draft choice. I would support Bledsoe until he no longer looked like the best option on hand.

I will also continue to support Parcells as long as the team improves. This should be a very interesting off-season.

[kingwhicker]

I have to say I agree with just about everything you said rcaldw. :banghead:

[2233boys]

Jimmy Johnson wouldn't do any better than the coach we have now.

Parcells needs to find a plan he should have had that plan two years ago and this should be the third year of that plans implementation, unfortunatly, he stuck with guys like Zimmer, and brought in his old players and Dallas has been stuck in turmoil.

Jimmy wouldn't have done any better, he wouldn't have Troy, Mike, or Emmitt to help him out if he was coaching today.
