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

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Wait a second. We went and got a backup QB, since we already have a starter for at least 2-3 years. Which you freely admit that's what he is.

But criticize the Cowboys for it?

Some people are just cuckoo. Will argue anything on the internet even when it's insane.

I am not criticizing him for that.... we got a few back ups.......back ups are back ups. some get to play. some don't. it doesn't make the starting team better and my point was that, given he threw milton in the mix along with other ones..... so just stating, Milton is not going to move the needle towards championship. perhaps its a long term investment, which I applauded at the time.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Carolina + big Mike

doesn't matter. 6 other WRs on the team out played him in the same circumstances. not 1, not 2, not 2st rounders, a bunch from every where, including RBs and TEs...

some people just need to get over this Mingo love. he sucks. three years in NFL and he has done squat.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Yup.

Not sure why all the Mingo hate on here.

Odd.

Kid is a 2nd round pick.

draft is a projection of how good a player could be. there are misses in every round, less in higher rounds than lower rounds.
with that said, NFL is the ultimate test to prove if you were projected correctly.
2nd round pick is 2 years in the past. its totally irrelevant.
in 2 years in the NFL, he has had 0 TDs, lots of other players on the team did. he couldn't even accidentally get a TD.
he has 17 catches last season.

those numbers in NFL scream UDFA, Turpin has out played him.
Dowdle has out played him.
Jalen Brooks who was a 7th round pick has out played him

and it was a stupid trade. mid season. for a team that went nowhere fast, with Rush at QB!!!.

 

[stiletto]

Yeah...man that 4th round pick is the cause of all our misery. Not 1st round DE busts, not 2nd round TE busts...Mingo...man if we only had that 4th round...we would have avoided "disaster" for sure.

I get your sarcasm, but would've been nice to have a player that could possibly contribute "something" as a rookie. Never know. What if they had drafted a good player? That definitely makes Mingo a disaster. It was clear he wasn't good from the jump at Carolina.

 

[stiletto]

Based on what exactly?

If given a chance we will all see. Until then, it's far too soon to make that conclusion.

He's been given several chances already and he clearly sucks already. 60 receptions on 127 targets is terrible. Zero TD's and only 585 yards in two years? Tolbert is way better and it's not even close. That's not saying much. Dude is a practice squad player at best.

 

[stiletto]

Pickens...ok, good player.

Milton? what the heck!? what has he done? he is a back up QB

Elam, was a bust in Bills, and people are hoping he can resurrect his career.
and Murray who is on his 3rd team? him on a one year deal too

you buy into anything Jerry does.

Other team's trash is clearly some fans "treasure" around here. Usually there is good reason for teams to let guys like this go. #1 being THEY SUCK.

Oh right. No athlete ever...was able to do better on a different team.

Talk about sarcasm ( more like a lie than sarcsam...really)Can you name one person calling him a treasure?

I won't hold my breath.

You seem to like him. Pet cat??

Because he did so much better after he was traded to us... <sigh>

so the thing is, all the ones we signed, are great, they are filling big holes and will do good.

in the meantime the other teams signing suck. they question it. don't think its going to work out...etc.

What, exactly, will Pickens be doing in a contract year while the Cowboys make sure they give Mingo “a chance”?

 

[big dog cowboy]

you failed big time.

Exactly how? You said........

They don't make moves.

And I just posted 4 trades they made.

Just admit you was wrong and take the L.

 

[big dog cowboy]

He's been given several chances already and he clearly sucks already.

Not with the Cowboys he hasn't.

If he "clearly sucks" they wouldn't have traded for him.

LOL!! You give this FO a lot more credit than they deserve.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

No...just not ready to proclaim his doom just yet. Gonna give him a chance. He's got his work cut out for him.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

We were A bit dysfunctional last year. Not sure he's gonna make all pro and catch our super bowl winning td...but...

Proclaiming his immediate doom doesn't make me an NFL guru like it does you.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

ok, let me be more specific.

moves that lead to championships...every team has to make a move to FILL the ROSTER. they have to have 53.
Murray on his 3rd team. last year of contract.

now, the pickens trade is a move that makes offense better, but are the moves make us into championship team? is Pickens on a one year rental lead to superbowl.

your loser mentality is what Jerry loves. now go buy some merchendise.

 

[Hoofbite]

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.

lol, when the trade happened I’m not sure anyone believed that was anything other than a forfeited pick.

That trade was forgotten about in a week.
