The non-utopian reality

Damn brain fart again. That tends to happen when I'm going through four or five threads.

Especially with ones with no spacing or paragraphs.

What the other NFC teams did in this draft will mean something but not all that meaningful. Repeat after me, Daniel Jones, Jalen Hurts, and Carson Wince....

We're going 9-8 and finishing 2nd in the division.

If by some very slim chance we make the playoff we will be a 1st round exit.

If Dallas is smart (they're not) they will see the writing on the wall after next season. They will draft a QB high, let him serve as the back up and learn, then when Dak's contract is up he will take over.

I’m 50/50 on your post

Would love to see that !
But historically the better slot a player is drafted the better the odds of him being a better player.
So the rest of our division stunk and got great draft slots, we had to "pay" for being good with a poor position.
That gave the rest of the division a leg up on improving through the draft.
Toss in the fact that Egirls and Midgets had multiple first rounders put them in position to gain ground on us.

You can question both the Eagles and Giants picks. The Eagles traded up and drafted two down dinosaur that teams will wear out with up tempo play calls. The Eagles have gimmicky run based offense and decided to pay a good receiver 25 million a season. Oh yeah their quarterback is a running back.

The Giants passed on the best offensive tackle, Iky for a pass rusher that will get swallowed up in the bright lights of the city. The tackle they did pick would have been picked in the teens last year.

Perhaps I am wrong but I do not believe members can use the Ignore feature for staff posts. On the other hand, moderators cannot use the Ignore feature either.

Darn the @Reality of it all!

Exactly, until this matches or surpasses Dak Prescott, we should be fine.

I wouldn't know. I've never met a mod I didn't like.

it is normal that many are ecstatic with all the drafts that the cowboys do, but it is evident that the cowboys have no chance, all the draft picks are projects, there is no one who can be a Micah type, the reality is that the cowboys they are falling behind, and other teams are getting stronger and with more possibilities and evident talent, with players that can really make a difference, if we see it in terms of possibilities, comparing the cowboys with the other teams, what you see is that before Dallas has a chance to reach an SB, these teams have a better chance of reaching and even winning: Jets (tremendous Draft, excellent, a very good example of aggressiveness and knowing how to put together a very good team) Eagles ( from one season to another they are positioned with better expectations than the cowboys, there is a very high possibility that the Eagles win the division) 49ers, Buccaneers, Chiefs, Raiders, Buffalo, Bengals, Browns, Broncos, Chargers, Rams, Titans, even the Dolphins. I think that all of these would have their opportunity before the cowboys have it, if Dallas continues with that same Draft-only mentality, soon they will have to replace Tyron, Martin, Zeke, and that will be a cycle, and not they will become real contenders until they really wake up and get aggressive in the postseason. There is no doubt that Dallas knows how to select good players in the draft and they have the talent to know how to select, but every Draft player is a prospect, and is not exempt from an injury changing plans, or some off-sports situation. at least this season will be another lost season for the cowboys, hopefully when S. Payton arrives (if he arrives) things will change, meanwhile, it will be the same every season.

This team is already in a cycle and Cowboy Nation can thank the Jones' for that. 20 plus years of a SB drought with no end in sight. They did nothing in FA market with the Gregory money. It's like it all evaporated the second Gregory jumped ship. So where did the money go or could it be players have caught on to the JONES' fake act and no longer want to be associated with these idiots?????? Don't expect a repeat in the East...................

That's your reality....expect the worse, gloat if you are right and join the bandwagon if you are wrong.
Many do it that way.....many don't.
My reality is that no one has a crystal ball...I'd rather wait and see, than be bummed out, 4 months before the season.
Salud!

those with rose colored glasses or who like to drink the Jones kool aid are the ONLY ONES that think this draft was much at all.

And those that don't, still contribute to his billions by being fans. LMAO

It's Wentz, wince is what fans do that have him on their team.

 

[G2]

Hearing how upset Jerry was that his love of Gregory didn't go both ways gave me a weird sense of satisfaction knowing that it bothered him that much.

Must be a sheep herding thing.

 

[Whiskey Cowboy]

They don't like their pet cats not getting fed.

Like it or not, the Cowboys had a needs based draft and addressed those the best they could without trading up.

The word "reach" gets used a lot but who cares? Yosemite was a reach. Did he solve the problem? Yes. And so did Lawrence.

It is interesting that those that didn't like this draft are ignoring even what those in the media that aren't fans of it are saying. It was a good value draft for a team standing pat at their picks. That's all they can do, make the best pick to address the need.

Frederick was a massive reach. Micah was a bad pick. We should've drafted Spears before Ware. Bobby Carpenter is the next big thing. Mo Claiborne will revolutionize the secondary.

People want who they want and complain when a player they don't know is picked instead. This year looks alot like a team that drafted for the future. Lots of elite physical talent that needs some refining. I just don't understand how this is a bad thing.

Those that proclaimed that this team was going nowhere before the draft are the same ones complaining that there aren't many immediate contributors. I would think they'd be happy with the change in philosophy and moving towards a more long-term focus. Kinda funny if ya think about it.

For me, it's that and I try to look go into the season as positively as possible. The Canadian Football League hasn't even kicked off yet (before the HOF Game of course). Might as well try to be positive. If I go in thinking negatively, then why waste my time on Sundays if I know I'm going to be miserable? That said, there is one game I expect I'll likely miss, which is the Thursday after Thanksgiving because I expect to be at Midwest FurFest, so, unless the Cowboys are in Chicago, I'll likely try to spend more time with my fellow furs (though, I may still watch, who knows? I'd be in suit if I do watch). Otherwise, if I go to watch a game, I'd rather look at it positively.
