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

[CowboysFaninHouston]

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

well I know its early, but Mingo didn't do crap in dallas neither....so then there is that.

 

[CowboyoWales]

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.

It's a one year rental to give this Offense and Dak the weapons to prove (or not), whether there's a chance to build around this core. If it succeeds Pickens gets extended, and 2026 offseason/draft is to build a complimentary Defense. If it fails its time to redesign the Offense and temper expectation.

three years in NFL. 0 TDs, 17 catches in 23, 17 catches in 24. 6th on his team in WRs.

this is not Olympics. this is NFL. he has to know how to play football.

Carolina + Big Mike

Not a winning combo.

Let’s see what our new HC has planned for Mingo.

wait what!? Prove what? Dak is 31. why are they building around Dak and why are they wanting to prove anything...

and when was the last time the cowboys made a multi-year plan. what plan? when was the last time they even had a plan. and if Pickens gets extended, then he gets what above 30M a year...that would be 65M sunk into WR...show me the teams that have spend like that on WR and the results? add Dak to the equation and that's 125M on three players. and people celebrate 20M resigning Osa.

if it fails....do you expect anything different? and we have a QB that's averaging 60M. and a WR averaging 34M. Dak with 3 years to go on his contract. so redesign offense around what?

Carolina + Big Mike

Not a winning combo.

Let’s see what our new HC has planned for Mingo.

my point was that 5 other WRs did better than Mingo in Carolina. same system. same everything.
btw, even Miles Sanders, our new RB did better than Mingo and he was a part time player.

0 TDs so far in his NFL Career.

I would put him 6th on the depth chart on our team right now.

Big Mike basically ignored him.

Kid is built like Dez and has elite speed.

His draft Bio is outstanding.

That was an easy trade.

draft is a projection of what a player could be...then they get to the NFL and they have to show they are actually FOOTBALL players.

Mingo was projected, based on Olympic measurables as you posted. if every Olympic measurable would translate to good football player, then Randall Williams who was 6'3", 220 and ran a 4.19 be the greatest WR ever.

in NFL Mingo showed he is not that good. 0 TDs in two years. 17 catches last year and was 6th on the WR depth chart on his own team. came to cowboys had 5 catches, in the same perioud every Cowboys WR out performed him

it was a stupid trade. and if he was any good. we wouldn't be trading a 3rd round pick for Pickens.

By a LONG shot...not even close to worst. But...here we are arguing that it is. Cuckoo.

Just another in a long line of bad decisions by Jerry & Son, Inc.

 

[Verdict]

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.

People can sit around flogging themselves with a croc of nine tails and it’s not going to change anything. That ship has sailed. You can continue to fixate on it if you would like (every fan can fan the way that they want to) but it’s not going to help anything nor change anything.

I will say that if you decide to whip yourself with a croc of nine tails on game day you might draw some tv time or radio time to scream your angst but I don’t recommend that.

Maybe it will be a bad trade, but for once I'm glad the FO didn't use a bad trade as an excuse to do nothing else. They still went and got Pickens. Own your mistakes, fix them, move on. Sadly I'm just happy they are trying to acquire players.
