If you want to make the biggest splash generating enthusiasm, excitement and a renewed hope for this generation and the next providing McCarthy true Elite talent to develop , Burrows is it.

He could struggle and possibly even be a bust in Cincinnati but in this offense and strong supporting cast it could be the impact we’ve seen with Mahomes.

Even this old burned out Cowboy fan would buy a jersey and a ticket to go see. It would turn Dallas on its ear. And hit a home run for Jerry as well. I’d toast to the old SOB for the greatest move since the early 90’s trade with Herschel.

Id truly have hope again!!

How long did it take Dak to make an immediate impact in this offense?
It takes a special player to be that good right out of the gates.

You're saying Burrow will go 13-3, post a passer rating in the 100's, and throw 5.75 TDs for every pick he throws as a rookie? I'll bet every dollar in my bank account against every dollar in yours that Burrow won't do all of that as a rookie.

And, of course, you think Dak is bad, which means even if Burrow did all that, you still would refuse to accept Burrow is good, right? Or is there some cosmetic factor that makes you unwilling to accept Dak is good, but the second a guy like Burrow does it, you'll admit it's good production from a good player? Hmm.

th
Jerry gave up a No. 1 for a so-so Amari Cooper.
Along comes Burrows, a generational QB and we are conservative about 2020's first round pick and 2021's first round pick and no. 3 this year?
What, is jerry saving his first rounders for a WR or an RB???

:laugh:

count me out on this one.

When we ran out of fry bread and the Pimas and Santa Clarans menaced us, did I bail?
When that hot air balloon was spewing hot air and we were falling on the Texas state line, did I say count me out? No, I climbed up and patched that balloon with yucca and green Chile and saved the day. When Dick Knifing fell and exclaimed "I've fallen and I can't get up!" did I walk away?

We need your advocacy!

We need Burrows/Burreaux!!!!

Ah, yes. Talent. A player so talented that you're already admitting it's a sure bet he'll play worse and post worse results than a player you say is untalented and bad.

This all adds up. This makes a tremendous amount of sense.

Great question!!

I’m not sure. It’s negotiable. I’d give them close to what they want.

I’d guess at least 2#1’s including our 1st. Maybe a couple #2 or #3 and a couple players.

Pending who the players are like if one was Dak it might lessen what you give up in draft. Bengals need more than a QB.

But I’d even consider 3 #1’s which is really only 2 with ours this year. The way we’ve wasted them in recent years not sure it’d hurt as much as Burrow would help .

You are not even in the ballpark. You'd probably be looking at all your day 1 and 2 draft choices for at least the next 3 years at a minimum. AT least.

Also....what picks have the Cowboys been wasting? The Cowboys have been one of the best drafting team for the last half decade at least.

Looking at it the Commanders gave the Rams their 1st (6th) and 2nd (39) in 2012, plus their first in 2013 (22) and their first in 2014 (2) to move up to #2 where they drafted Robert Griffin III.

(History note: The Rams then sent the 6th pick to the Cowboys where we drafted Morris Claiborne)

But that might be your starting point in negotiations for this deal. I'm not a big Burrow fan, but I'm damn sure not a Burrow fan of any kind at that price.

Check the last 3 years top draft picks for Cowboys. You wouldnt give those up for Burrow?

The rate of failure can be correlated with going to more crap teams as top picks.

Aikman struggled until we surrounded him. We have an outstanding supporting cast in place .

In some cases yes, in some cases no.

Way too early Scouting report on Joe Burrow for your consideration says....

  • Accurate passer
  • Tremendous pocket composure
  • Excellent decision-maker
  • Fits passes into tight windows
  • Superb ball placement
  • Throws a very catchable ball
  • Can throw receivers open
  • Beats good coverage with accuracy, placement
  • Excellent timing
  • Advanced anticipation
  • Natural feel; instinctive passer
  • Leads receivers for more yardage after the catch
  • Able to loft in touch passes
    and yada,yada, yada

    Weaknesses:
  • Arm-strength limitations
  • One-year wonder

    Player comparison
    Mitch Trubisky (both one year wonders)
    Russel Wilson (with a weaker arm)
    Andy Dalton
    Derek Carr
    Ryan Tannehill (with better decision making and fiery leadership)

There isn't one. He lost out at Ohio Sate and transferred to LSU and wasn't special. Then, they revamped the offense by bringing in Joe Brady form the Saints and he took off. Also had the best supporting O cast in the game. It was a perfect storm of a season. Can he take that to the next level? Completely unknown but he did play a hell of a schedule against some really good D's. There's never been a schedule completed like that without a loss.
Copy that my guy

This team with several changes/additions and improved coaching hopefully can get us into the post season. You have to keep in mind we have an almost entirely replaced coaching staff that already has enough on their plate re-orienting, re-conditioning, performance improving players on both sides of the ball and special teams. Putting a lot of effort in getting even an exceptional drafted college quarterback up to speed as the starter on our team is no joke.

That's your spin. Definitely not my message. Missing playoffs two of last 3 years averaging 9 wins a season is not how I’d describe great results.

I haven’t said Dak is untalented or bad. Just not Elite or great enough.

And nothing is a sure bet. But the greater the talent level the more opportunity our chances increase.
