Mickey is a nasty old useless shill. Everything he says is to be ignored.

Damn, you guys are hard on Spagnola.. I don't get the hate for a guy who really loves the team as much as he does his job covering Cowboys.

I mean, what do you guys want?

Even little Dave has grown on me over the years, with his small man complex and all.

Lookie there. Seems like Spags might actually know a little something.

You are going to like him, still scratching my head on why he fell and have heard of nothing substantial.
Hoping that there is no red herring, and that sometimes players slip for no obvious reason.
Why did he drop?
1. Played at Florida A&M so competition level is a question
2. The draft rounds have been shorten. Back when the draft was 12 rounds, he would have been picked. Now? Given where he played, teams are more likely to use their low draft picks on players from proven programs. Tackling a back from Winston Salem St. is a wee bit different than tackling a back from Alabama.

"Spagnola isn’t a coach, but he’s a veteran writer who’s covered the Cowboys daily for a long time. So the praise comes from a measured set of eyes if we’re looking for reasonable context."

Yea, he ain't that chief.

You are right he is not a coach but Cowboys did prioritize him as an UDFA with a good payday. at 6'02" Bell provides the size the Quinn looks at. I don't care if it was Mickey writing the column or someone else it was obvious Bell was someone Cowboys wanted and as pointed out 1 or 2 practice does not ensure him a spot, but it doesn't hurt.

Lol.. cap. Mickey being pr for the Cowboys means nothing, he's no different than any other cowboy staff that yall listen to. I bet with his coverage and experience, he knows helluva more than you or me what a player look like.
Lol imagine sayin cap. Mickey is a bum who is pr for the cowboys. He doesnt watch any other teams or other players and prolly dont even like sports he jus got a good gig.

Broaddus who was a real scout use to thug him all the time cuz mickey didnt kno anything except what eagleton would tell him to say

Don't you know this is an Eagles fan forum disguised as a Cowboys fan forum? Anything good about the Cowboys is automatically dismissed.

Mickey is terrible. Listen to how he treats the callers on the podcasts. Nasty guy. I also don’t find him insightful at all. He is a tool of Jerry used to shill for the team.

The usuals on here chose Mickey to hate on for whatever reason, just as they do certain players. They are like a grade school / junior high school yard bully gang.

Same goes for Jerry, he knows a hell of a lot more about football than most on here do.
Maybe he doesn't study film like a few on here, as to every single player, but he understands the concept of the plays. And has watched at some point on them. Maybe not as much now as he used to.

As now he has art to buy so nobody will look at but his wife. :laugh:

Yeah. He asked “if he’s so good why is he available” on countless FAs that could have helped this team. He’s Jerry Jones puppet

And some of them that's exactly what you should say about them.

Lol...you wrong, cowboys isn't even Mickey real team if IIRC, he watch plenty film and talk about it on his podcast with Bill Jones and Everson Walls they go through just about all the draft prospects, I guess you haven't heard Broaddus talk about going to Mickey for information. Mickey has a wealth of knowledge about the Cowboys, just because he don't subscribe to fan whining and complaining doesn't mean he doesn't know what's going on.

So, that story says what about Spagnola?
He was merely regurgitating the consensus view of ex-NFL coaches and executives.
He was basically saying that the Cowboys had a need at both corner and linebacker and was merely giving the names of the top players at that position.
Heck, half the board could have written the same article. Shrug.

No he followed up what he felt with what others were saying, he specifically said "if you didn't want to take his word then listen to others"
I listened to his podcast, he was saying take Parson over the corners to Bill Jones and Everson Walls, he also was saying take Deebo when he came out

That makes you ignorant. Mickey was banging the table for Deebo Samuel and Parsons before the drafts. Of course you don't know this because you don't listen to him because you think that he is not insightful. He was calling Parsons a Lawrence Taylor kind of player before he was drafted.
