So we're just supposed to forget the whole Mingo for a 4th rounder?

[Zekeats]

Wrong. He's younger than Pickens, and he will get every chance to succeed.

Put your money where your mouth is. He won’t be on active roster.

I love how the Cowboys are so bad that the fans have turned on each other lol. This thread is comical.

The Cowboys aren't bad.

It sure looks like he will be on the roster.

At this time the trade doesn't look good and even Carolina fans were making fun of us for the trade (They thought Diontae Johnson was going to get a better trade offer then Mingo) but Tom Landry had a three year rule on players and WR take longer to develop, so next year will actually determine if this was a good or bad trade. I for one hope he pans out. He has the perfect build for an X type receiver.

 

[BHendri5]

I mean we all did a double blink last year when that trade was announced. It’s comical at this point. Can someone please post the Bevis and Butthead pic.

Yes, it happened and we will find out this season if it was a good move, because he never had a chance last season nor did the team with all the injuries

 

[conner01]

It's not a bad deal to have Mingo for pick 114. Your post is comical.

Time will tell. If he he’s the 3rd and is effective it was worth it

 

[GMO415]

Cmon man...its only a 4th. Hit or miss. Same as Mingo... hit or miss. At least we swung

Xactly. How many 2nd round picks did we waste on no talent TEs?

 

[Acceptablename]

If you really feel that way then you are 100% clueless and need help. Mingo won’t even be on the active roster after this trade and will probably not even make it out of camp

Not sure how you know that

 

[big dog cowboy]

How many 2nd round picks did we waste on no talent TEs?

Escobar
Fasano
Watkins

 

[rambo2]

20 percent of 4th round picks become starters or key contributors to nfl teams for four seasons.

I don’t think the trade was a good one but there are a lot worse ones

And there is a decent chance that Mingo is the 3rd receiver on this team which would be excellent value for a 4th round pick.

 

[OGSixshooter]

And if he plays well, will you be mad....probably....

No, but I will know that it's wasted effort on a loser QB. Dak is a CHOKER...any and all hope in him is fool's gold.

You must be a fool....you're still here supporting HIS team. Don't be so hard on yourself, you're gonna bust a vein....so much hate is bad for anyone.

 

[fivetwos]

If someone would stop the homers from constantly attacking, this sure would be a better place.

Still puzzles me as to why anyone every expects good reviews on Jerry’s act.

 

[IceStar-D7]

Suck Jerry has wasted the last 2 4th rounders. But that's down the road now. Hopefully we can sign. Pickens long term and he plays great which would lessen the draft picks we lost to get him. They can't or don't re-sign him? It'll be one of the worst trades ever.

 

[OGSixshooter]

I'm hoping the team can overcome a choker QB...there's a .001% chance. So the strawman position that I am as blindly loyal as you are is a slippery, yet unclever way of surrendering.

I repeat: Any and all hope in a team led by a choker QB is pointless. You're just kinda policing the fandom whilst being the lead cheerleader for almost every single offseason move...and all things Dak related.

 

[OGSixshooter]

No worries bro.
Just the positivity cartel.
Like bouncers at the night club, they think your i.d. can be denied access based on their personal views of censorship.
Even a mod is a member too.

But last I checked and fought for, you can exercise that freedom of speech anyhow you see fit.
God Bless America.

Requiring conformity is evidence of the weakness of one's argument. Why would you not rather the argument - if it's as ironclad strong as a person might believe - be battle-tested? So, I'm skeptical of Pickens because of the pressure on him to perform WITH a choker QB who is playing with a hobbled wheel. Does this mean I can't watch the games now? It's unreal.

LOL @ the positivity cartel. Good one.

I don't have any expectations. I just enjoy the game...it's great if we win, but loses in games that i don't coach, don't bother me anymore. I coached in about 250 football games, about 220 as the HC. Those bothered me, these are just for fun

OK, so do you think Dak's hamstring - which tore off the bone - is fully healed and he won't be limited on game 1?

I think it be healed in time, but I think his biggest issue with it, will be the mental block, in dealing with it. Especially, if they baby him during preseason and don't get him a decent amount of reps.

Ok, we agree here too. So herein lies my issue: Dak is a rhythm, streaky thrower of the football. Now once he's in rhythm and feeling good about himself, he can be "near-MVP" Dak. However, we all heard him say after the 1-2 start which turned into the 1-4 start with Dak last year "...my best football is yet to come...". And it never came...because he was still "rusty".

Now, has he come out hot before? Yes, at Tampa in the opener one year and I believe he did his contract years. But most times, Dak needs a few games to get there. When you add injury and a year of sitting, I'm not hopeful he'll figure it out. Meanwhile, Pickens...he might be ready to explode if we start off 1-4 like last year and Dak is tossing the ball to the other team.
