[LatinMind]

Just talked about Jerry trying to get back in round 2 to draft in this past yrs draft. See you can want to get a spot but you have to have a trading partner

I agree. I said I'm glad we took Tyron.

But the notion that a fan can't complain about a pick if he initially supported it is complete nonsense. Results are all that matter.

What theyre trying to get the caller to see is nobody knew he would be this good. And theyre right. And the caller agreed. so Poof goes ur argument

So you support hypocrisy?

Yes. Even though I would have in some circumstances. Though not with Tyron and Watt.

I wanted to draft Felix Jones. The Cowboys drafted Felix Jones. The Cowboys made a bad draft pick. What I wanted is irrelevant. What the results are is what matters.

This pass the buck, nobody's responsible, group decision mentality doesn't fly.

To some extent, in the end it does fall back to those running the team even if 100% of the fan based hollered to get a certain player. If that player does not pan out then it is on management.

I would say any fan who hollered and screamed to get a player and the team did so they really do not have much to complain about since they got what they wanted even though it is not their responsiblity.

No. I support a fan admitting he was wrong and criticizing his team for making a bad draft pick. They are held to a standard above fan.

What's the alternative? Just hope my team makes popular picks? Results be damned?

I agree. We all know the organization had access to information we didn't. They should make the right picks. It's their job.

And there's no denying that Watt's a better player than Smith is so far.

[Risen Star]

Do I consider players I didn't want bad picks regardless of what they do on the field?

Their play on the field will dictate your final opinion on the decision to pick that player. To absolve the Cowboys decision makers based on a popularity poll at the time of the pick and not the results on the field is just pure, blind homerism.

Did not say that but to whine about a pick that you wanted because he does not pan out is pathetic. Yes management in the end was wrong about a player unfortunatly not all players do pan out even those whom draft pros think will be great. It is not a matter of passing the buck yes it is management who deserves the blame but piling on after the fact when they got the guy you wanted does not fly

That gets back to tone. There's really never a need to whine about anything. But it should be ok to say, "I wanted this guy that the organization took, but the organization clearly made a mistake in taking him." Right?

Hey, we can't complain about our 1st round bust QB because we all wanted him at the time.

No. We can. You still hold the decision makers responsible for a bad pick.

and? you can't know for a fact what a player will do over time. period. end of story. to get all butthurt years later cause of what you "could have had" without knowing at the time is just...

well i can't say it here cause it could offend.

Getting a highly touted player is hard to claim that as a mistakes it is a calculated risk on any player.

You check out the players you do your homework and you make your choice.

Sure someone has to take the responsibility when the player does not work out but where they wrong for taking a player who graded out high throughout the league?

I can deal with that mistake than I can with over reaching for a player

If we play Denver it will be on CBS.
