It's all fun and games till you get hit in the face by a 265 lb de. Let's see him do that and survive. Then I'll be convinced.
I wonder who would be more nervous about that matchup. I doubt it would be Tyron.

The start of his injuries was literally wedged inbetween the cowboys being the #1 seed in 2016 and then making it to the 2nd round of the playoffs in 2018.

Pretty delusional to spin it as "eh we where garbage he could of had the surgery whenever"
Yeah BS on that. Tyron having surgery after the team being the #1 seed and having lots of young talent would of resulted in half of this forum screaming "why is he taking an optional window during our window to win" or "back in my day players would of toughed it out, this new generation is soft"

He didn't get the surgery because he didn't want it. He chose other ways of trying to deal with it. They have not worked. His choices haven't been limited by a football schedule.

Him and the team tried to manage the injuries because they thought the team had a good window to win. You where basically trying to spin it as "yeah well they never go the playoffs anyways so he should of already had it" which is a pretty weak recollection of what really transpired

I'm pretty confident the team preferred him getting surgery after the initial non surgical efforts didn't allow him to play a full season. We've been to the playoffs 2 of the 5 years he has missed games. Even in the seasons with a playoff game he could have had the surgery and been back for the next season. If you go back, I am pretty confident that you will find reports that Tyron refused surgical procedures. You were spinning it as he was making the choices because it was the best choice for the team whereas he really made a personal decision. As i said in my original post, I have no issue with a player making a decision about their treatment but let's not paint it as this is the first time he could choose surgery.

There were some comments from the offensive lineman about the heavy squats they had them doing. I sure hope it didn't shorten their careers.

How many offseasons in a row have we had this exact same thread?

I love Tyron but he is clearly not reliable anymore and we need to start looking for a replacement. I'm not drafting one in the first this year but if you can find good value in the second or third I would consider it depending on what D are still on the board.

I love Tyron Smith- 5 years ago, he was literally the best football player on this team. Injuries like the ones he’s had the last few years changed things.

We all HOPE Tyron is back. That’s what fans do. We hope. But one of the biggest problems with our owner also being the GM is he thinks like a fan. He believes/hopes everything will work out. Most GMs who think that way are unemployed within 3 years. GMs that are consistently successful have contingency plans in addition to hope.

Hope is good. As a Cowboys fan I have hope too. But hope is not a strategy. I hope Tyron works out. But what I really want to know is- what’s the plan if he doesn’t? Because the likelihood of him being “back” are not even close to a good bet.

That why you get a good swing tackle. He's only missed at most 3 games a season before last year. He has a very team friendly contract.

If he looks like he's feeling good, invest in a swing / development guy (may be on the rostor) and keep it going with Tyron who is one of the best when he's right.

It’s pretty pathetic how this fanbase treats players who get older and/or more injury prone. Some of these comments are pretty shameful.

Must suck busting your a** for a single franchise your entire career, then have the fanbase completely turn on you after your body starts to give out. I understand wanting to find/draft his replacement, but the disrespect doesn’t make any sense.

Tyron has avoided surgery for years to be team friendly and play ready.
Man finally gets some work done after being a true gladiator for years and he gets disrespected is pathetic.
A truly healthy Tyron Smith can be a top 3 tackle in this league still.
Dont be so quick to dismiss a real Cowboy.


THIS.

I like the guy and am grateful.
But...backs and necks aren't kind time to find a body to take over.

I'm convinced this forum has been infiltrated with Cowboys haters disguised as fans. This has to be the case. I see no other reason because the amount of complaining and negativity is literally staggering! NOTHING pleases some of these perpetually bitter people! Top 10 pick? Nope. Top rated offense? Nope. A rehabbed and now running franchise QB? Nope. Two very solid TEs? Nope. Now... one of the best LT in the ENTIRE NFL says he's feeling well after a surgery he had previously avoided? What a surprise! Its a NOPE.

Please, go back to your real teams and complain on your own forum. Let the real Cowboys fans be optimistic and hopeful here.

Jeez! smh
