Of course . McCarthy a solid hire. Just like Parcells was.

You obviously are misdirecting my anger. It’s always been only one direction.

Everyone has had anger at Jerry. For the following:

1. Puppet HC's
2. Drafting
3. Bad trading
4. Salary cap mismanagement
5. Meddling

Is there anything else I am missing?

From where I am standing the only thing left on that board that he either still does poorly is Meddling. And even that I believe will be at a minimum with MM.

Only issue with drafting the last 4 or 5 years is listening to that moron Merinilli on the players he liked for his defense. MM wont make those mistakes.

There are many fans who support Jerry. Think he’s doing everything he can to win.

The verdict will be out on McCarthy until the results come in.

After 2+ decades of this crappola with Jerry thru what 5 or 6 different coaches several of which had much more experienced and qualifications than our Greatest Puppet Garrett I have lost hope anyone can win with Jerry.

Glad you finally admit that. Took 14 years, but what the heck. :thumbup:
As I’ve maintained throughout you’ve been misguided by my support of Garrett which didn’t revolve around his coaching abilities.

How many pages will we waste today regurgitating it all again.

I know what 50/50 means. It means its got as much chance of not happening as happening. Which is laughable. Its typically what a Dak troll would say because he is wishing for it NOT to happen.
You must have missed the last few weeks all of my support for Dak in not getting a deal done.

Go watch the welcome to training camp pc 2008. Then get back to me on how they didnt attack wade phillips.

Go watch the questions Ware, Newman, Romo, Jones etc were asked in that time period face to face. Then get back to me.

I gave you specific examples, Calvin Watkins Got up out of his chair at valley ranch and was arguing with Wade phillips in the summer of 09 and told Wade frigging phillips he could have coached the cowboys to the playoffs in 2008. It ended up getting him moved around at the DMN at the time.

Steve Dennis used to call Romo ...Tony Oh No.....he would ask other players on the team in the open locker room period if Calling romo tony oh no was accurate.

No idea where you get this notion that these guys didn't bring that stuff into the locker room/valley ranch and ask directly. They did all the time.

The new york post sent a Jessica Simpson look a like to the cowboys giants playoff game and they all covered it like it was important?

I am done for the day with this topic. If you were a fan of the team then and followed them closely you will see a stark difference in how they are covered and the standard they were held to.
lol - training camp 2008? Again, even assuming you are right about the "attack" on Phillips, you are still talking about an incident 12 years ago, and not the normal conduct of reporters in a press conference, and, again, by your own admission, not how things are done currently. You acted as if Dak gets treated with kid gloves and then admitted that no player gets treated that way today, so you are still contradicting yourself and providing support for what I said.

As for these other decade old or more examples, even though they don't support your point anyway, if you have evidence, bring it on. Simply saying another person should look up a press conferences from 10-12 years ago is a cop out. If it's easy to find, you do it. It's your point, so it's your responsibility to support it.

Asking is one thing. And I've addressed that. And, in fact, Dak obviously was asked about his contract situation, which is why he commented on it several times. But you weren't talking about asking, you were suggesting someone should have attacked him and brought "venom" (again, your word).

And a locker room is very different than a public situation like a press conference. I never said there weren't jabs in the confines of a locker room - to suggest I did was a fabrication on your part. Anyone that has ever spent time in a locker room knows things are different there than in public

Ultimately, you are still talking about instances over a decade ago, you still haven't show any evidence of the consistent "venom" and full on attacks you suggest were routine in press conferences back then, and you admitted yourself that not attacking Dak was consistent with how things are done today and not just the media treating Dak differently as you claimed.

good luck to him. Hope he succeeds on the field otherwise I don't want to see in the uniform that much longer. He's never had anyone allowed to contend for the spot, what happens if the team continues to exercise options?

I just finished watching Dak’s press conference, just finished a nice strong Capt’n n Coke. This kid is one freaking smart **’er. He is such a smooth dude, you could see that talking about his brother almost brought him to tears. This kid is A+ 1+. For his age he is so smart and polished beyond his years. This kid is living the dream people, gotta say I’m super impressed, but I always have been with him. He sees the Big picture. Momma did a fine job with this kid. He’s got politics in his future if he wants it. Love this kid...

sounds like a QB who lost the negociation and leverage battle and may be facing serious competition from Andy . losing his agent is a sign . He now has to prove himself and prove he is elite , in order to get a fat contract or 37 mil next season .

He says he has dreams of being a Dallas Cowboy for the rest of his career.

Hey Dak, dreams are free. I dream every year we are that much closer to the super bowl, and here we are, stuck in the same dream.

How many grueling, hard hitting personal questions do any of the players get? The media isn't going to alienate any of these guys because their jobs are partially dependent on the access the players allow.
I agree. Besides, playing football is those guys’ job. Their personal life should be off limits to the press unless they get into legal trouble. Old school press used to just stick to on field stuff. Our culture has a “celebrity obsession” problem that makes reality show “stars” somehow important.

He's not OUR greatest puppet. He is YOUR greatest puppet. To everyone else he is just a joke. As you said, a clown that never should have been hired.

Glad to see you finally decided to analyze your coaches on results rather than blind love.

Why would Dak take less than the 37.7 million tag next year .

I’ll wager anyone 30 days on the forum he won’t.

Anyone???

He would take less for a longer term deal.

Spread out over the length of the deal I doubt it will be 38 million per year of actual money. Now if the Cowboys make it to the championship game they might have to pay up.

read my post. I am telling you they did it directly. Calvin Watkins did it regularly. He went way out of bounds with Wade Phillips and wade was nice enough to laugh in his face....he went out of bounds with jay ratliff and ratliff grabbed a hold of him.

it was much different.

ok now I am done.

Maybe I misunderstood. I thought you meant they only handle Dak with kid gloves in your first comment. Is it that things are different today or just for Dak? Because, it sounded like they started asking about the contract and whether or not his relationship with the team has soured. And then they led right into questions about social justice conversations among the players. Then asked about Jones' stance on social justice themes. Then comparisons between JG and MM.

I don't know...those aren't kid gloves questions to me. He answered them all well enough.

It's entirely possible I listened to a difference press conference, though.

I just like Dak as a person. He appears to be a down to earth genuine type guy. I hope he does as a qb and he wins many SBs with the Cowboys but I would like the contract to be fair for both parties.
I used to think so too, but Dak presents a fake image to the public and media, and then off camera he is another Dak, the real Dak.
The first thing I wondered about was the bow tie lol, that was a clever ploy to give a certain image.

Dak will always say the political correct things to the media, never the truth.
He says he wants to be a cowboy forever, but refused all offers for 2 years lol !
Jones boys say that dak is the future, he is their guy, but still didnt sign him.
Both sides lie to the public.

The one thing here is that Dak has to do more than SAY he wants to be Cowboys QB of the future, and he needs to EARN that , not have it
given to him because he says he wants it.
He needs to excel this year, to prove he deserves it.

Also if the cowboys had selected the other tag where teams could make dak offers, and some team offered Dak a mahomes deal,
he would have jumped teams so quick it would make your heads spin lol.
