Twitter: Stephen on TJ Watt: was in “serious contention” to be pick. “I wish we would’ve done that."

Ya think?

It seems unlikely we'd have had 3 SB wins in 4 years if someone else had bought the team. We have no idea if we be high on the hog or mired in an even worse swamp.

Jerry hired Jimmy Johnson, someone was going to. That was Jerry's only successful choice other than letting Jimmy run everything until he did such a great job, Jerry had to try and claim credit.

Of course not. What would you have to play with at bedtime?

Exactly

 

[Bullflop]

A shame Stephen didn't have access to Aladdin's Lamp a few years back!

Apparently, missed opportunities always look their best in wishful thinking.

Most NFL executives lose their jobs after repeated mistakes like this. In fact, other than Mike Brown and his “family” at Cincy, what other NFL executives have lifetime contracts regardless of results?

IDK, I wouldn't trade the experience of having the Triplets on this team. I'm fairly certain that only happened because JJ brought in JJ.

Irvin was already on the team.

They had the first pick in the draft (Aikman) when he bought the team.

Emmitt was Jimmy's second choice (behind James Francis), but he got lucky there.

So, not really.

Helen Keller would be a great fit in this current defense,IMO.

In honesty in regards to Taco vs Watt... Taco was the better fit but Watt was the better player.

I debunked this many times. Same goofy gm that drafted Gregory. Same height and 25 pounds lighter than Watt was a fit though. Lol

So you think anyone else would have gone with a RB for that pick? It seems unlikely to me that the same needs would have been felt by another owner and coach, and also very, very unlikely another owner would have been willing to shell out the money Jerry did for the other players.

I think Jimmy was a package deal in Jerry's eyes, and thus the team was built much differently than it otherwise would have been, even if all three triplets were still here.

Reason number 252517374636 this team needs a real GM and an owner that gets the *** out of the way.

Total moron. Zero football insight. Why does anyone listen to the Joneses.

Hey Run, how goes it ?

Better fit ?
i keep hearing that,.. yet we had no qualms about drafting a 237 pound Randy Gregorycoming out of Nebraska to be an expected 4-3 DE in the NFL ?

 

[Hardline]

Ugh.

T.J. dodged a bullet there,

 

[Runwildboys]

Hey Run, how goes it ?

What's going on, Sulu? Where you been, brother?

 

[Johnny23]

They do this all the time. Admitted they got cute when they should have drafted Max Unger and Stephen Jackson start up. Again when they should have taken Navarro Bowman even promising him he would be a Cowboy. Then Bobby Wagner. They didn't think other teams had eyes on them and they thought they could get cute and pick them later.

I don't wanna hear it from Jerry or Stephen.

 

[CowboysNation85]

Should definitely have drafted TJ Watt

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

These are the type of things you can say when you never have any fear of getting the axe for being bad at your job.

Yes!
