Okay, genius!
Okay, genius!
difference of opinion einstein.Okay, genius!
well said Bob well saidwinning this battle, might have lost us the war .
Another genius!
Are you serious?We are not getting QB Lawrence or OT Sewell outside of those two guys no one else is worth tanking for. So we might as well keep fighting for a playoff spot.
I’m a fan. Your a fan. The players and the coaches of course are going to try to win.So what you are me advocating is not making a culture where losing is unacceptable? You want a team that thinks it’s ok to lose when it’s for the greater good? And you would be the first one to cry about being mediocre when you designed the plan that made them mediocre to begin with.
that’s like telling your kids not to smoke when you are puffing away on a smoke. It not only makes you a hypocrite it is doomed from the start.
Losing is never acceptable. Period. Anything other than standard is a complete waste of time and anyone that advocates other wise is an idiot.
No more winning? You do not understand why picking #4 in the draft is way more advantageous than picking #10-14? You don’t understand how it could help the future of your team?And you're no more a fan.

If we have good enough players, because we take advantage of drafting in the top 5, we will not have to worry about a losers mentality. Miami is fighting hard to make the playoffs this year. Last year they finished 3-13.I just don't understand this mentality at all. I want to WIN. When you go to work do you screw up projects in hope you'll screw your co-worker to get somebody.... that you hope, by luck of the draw, will be better?
Look at the Jets. Picking high every year. Cincinnati, same boat. Some here think that we should lose? I'm sorry, despite any explanation you have on losing, I'm not on that team. If you like the feeling of losing because it may make us better later on.... how do you approach day to day mundane existence? I'll lose today and make things better tomorrow? That makes absolutely no sense. You want better today, and even better tomorrow. At least that's how I see it.
Contrary to the rationale, who wants to lose? I like when the Cowboys win. We are not a good team, but I would never want us to lose. Ever. Regardless of our record. A high draft pick guarantees us nothing, but a win gives some hope that we can build off of that. It also makes you feel good at the end of the day. I don't understand the mentality of losing on purpose to win later on. We can get any highly touted player you want, but if you follow the NFL draft, and the players drafted top ten, it does not guarantee nothing. Bottom line to me, it is Jerry and Stephen. It has been over 25 years that we've done anything of substance, and tanking, on top of their sorry ability of managing the team is the problem. It will continue in my opinion. So, enjoy the wins because when it matters, the losses come when we don't want them to. An unexpected win here and there, as a Cowboy's fan is gravy in my book, although the pages are plenty empty where it counts.
Fans know this already. What some fans do not seem to know or acknowledge is that:In the history of the NFL the team picking #4 in the draft has picked better players than the team picking #10. How do some fans not understand this.
Thats a hard call when you think about it, whats a coach supposed to do, how can you even begin to be a leader if your teaching players to lose?What we did was dumb today. What was the win for? Honor? Integrity? Because winning against not only a meddling, weak Bengals team that is missing their QB sad and sorry, but it messed up our draft pick in the process. AND BEFORE anyone says “Oh oh a high draft pick means nothing!!” We could’ve traded down that high draft pick for more picks!! It’s clear as day that our secondary is depleted and that we need more players on defense/O-line in case someone goes out with an injury. A surplus of (good) draft picks will help with that tremendously. However, Dallas cannot even tank right. We will be the 5-6 draft pick AT BEST. If we win against Philly, we’re looking to be anywhere from the 9-12 pick. How stupid.

Im one of the biggest advocates for tanking at this point, but this is a rough territory.
I would just like to hear from one person that knows how to convince a locker room to quit.You don’t get it! The players don’t tank. The fans, the ones that understand delayed gratification, hope we lose so we get a top 5 pick, instead of a top 10-13 pick.
One more meaningless win like this last one and good bye top 5 pick!You are right. At this point, it is better to lose this game, leapfrog Cincinnati in the draft. Every win from here on out only hurts this team.
A little pain? .it's been 26 frigging years of pain.A REAL fan is willing to take a little pain for the good of the franchise. Obviously your not willing to do that. Your nothing more then a casual cheerleader. You dont have the stomach to understand whats best for this team.
Lets just get to the bottom line. Im rooting for a top 5 pick and your rooting for the 19th pick. What kind of fan are you? Eagles fan maybe?

the players on the team who are good enough understand. the ones who don't understand won't be here any way. (at least they shouldn't be)So what you are me advocating is not making a culture where losing is unacceptable? You want a team that thinks it’s ok to lose when it’s for the greater good? And you would be the first one to cry about being mediocre when you designed the plan that made them mediocre to begin with.

That’s right I want the best draft pick we can get. Sorry if you don’t agree. A fan since 1963.
