You know, I remember listening to financial counselor Dave Ramsey and he said "Things won't change for you until you have a 'sick and tired' moment".
When will that moment be for this organization and it's fans? Is it 1 playoff win in 20 years, 1 in 25 years or 1 in 30?

Every year more and more "positive" fans turn into "complainers" because the results on the field doesn't warrant giving this team the benefit of the doubt. At some point this organization has to prove it on the field and in the front office to turn the tide of the public sentiment.

Positive fans and complainers just have a different way of looking at the same thing, two different sides of an argument. The thing that settles this argument is the teams record over the last 18 years or so.

Sad state of affairs when you're coming off a 3rd place finish in the weakest division in football and while other teams are signing free agents, not only can you not sign anyone, you're cutting players to get under the cap.

Baltimore is doing the same thing only they are coming off winning the Super Bowl.

birdwells1, in short it comes down to Parcells saying...'you are what your record says you are'.

Haven't you heard, the Cowboys are an up and coming team pointed in the right direction.

Wait, I thought we were consistent

Does that mean another 8-8 year?

I guess garret is building a consistently average team

I think Spence could be DMVP next season.

I'm fine with it. He's our best player on D.

He's definitely up there. I'm fine with it too. We have holes to fill on offense.

I *think* you're trying to be sarcastic here, but I honestly have no idea what you're trying to say in this context. Good stuff, though, otherwise. Thanks for sharing.

I'm going to PM you a hug, too. Things are going to be ok, visionary!

He is 30 and had one really good season. Many players have one really good season playing for a contract.

I hope I am wrong.

Tired of the Jones' bumbling in the draft, free agency and with the cap. Tired of one playoff win in 16 seasons. Tired of all the NFC teams improving while Dallas sits on its self inflicted salary cap hell.

is'nt ware doing the same thing? seems like people are so concerned about spencer being able to do exactly what we are about to ask ware to do, but no one seems worried about ware who is coming off an injury being able to do the same thing spencer will be doing
