The fallout from the Micah trade feels a bit like Herschel

[Diehardblues]

It already has.

I’m waiting for the results on the field culminating in at least a championship appearance to fully acknowledge.

 

[Rockport]

Last year we would have been better off with Micah. All I heard was, If we only had a decent defense. Well we did have a decent defense with Micah.

No, they didn’t. Not even close.

 

[ratkinson]

In the current NFL players have a say.

I doubt it
I'll try to get more information on it.

 

[Rockport]

Yeah, that was basically giving up a 1,2,3 and a bunch of late rounders.

Hey, you’re all for keeping Eberflus because it wasn’t his fault

 

[Ranching]

I mentioned this back during the draft, or shortly after.
A few did not like it. But I don't care.

Some guys around here would be pissed off if they won the lotto

Go to bed, son. You're making a fool out of yourself.

 

[TNCowboy]

It's in no way comparable to the Herschel trade. They could've had some of those players even if Micah were still here.

They could've - for example - got Quinnen Williams and still had Micah. Or the 1st they gave up could wind up being a high pick, that pick turns into, say Jeremiah Smith or a great QB prospect. Were that the case, it could turn out to be the worst trade Jerry's made. To say nothing of also trading a 2nd which also had nothing to do with the Micah trade.

 

[zrinkill]

I gave him a chance and he sucked. You didn’t and he sucked. Which attitude do you seriously think is best?

Not Jerry's lapdog

Then we wouldn't have gotten Downs or Gary.

Yes, cherish our history. Not current era.

And currently until further notice Jethro has a non playoff team. Thank you

I have the Dallas Cowboys app.... On day 2 of the draft, there was a press conference after. They post and store all the various press conferences so if someone is interested to look this up to verify what I'm saying, be my guest. But a question was raised to Stephen and Jerry about why it's been so long that we've been in the playoffs. Jerry's answer blew me away. He said "Our goal isn't to make the playoffs every year. Our goal is to make the team better than it was the prior year."

Yup.

None of the players are equal to Micah.

Coach I'd be interested in your input; if you're willing to share.

Jerry’s an idiot and this comment is further proof. If you translate it from Jerry speak however, it doesn’t mean what you think it means.

They would complain about having to go and pick it up.

 

[Rockport]

Yup.

Before he tore his knee up. Now, who knows? He’s going to miss 3 or 4 games this year. It takes a couple of years to come back to 100% from an ACL injury if ever.

 

[zekecowboy]

I felt giving up a 1st and 2nd was too much for Q . Now if it had helped us make playoffs last year maybe I’d feel differently .

Aren’t we going to have a contract situation with him in a couple years ?

Same here on the 1st and 2nd, it was way too much for Q. Williams.

I believe his contract comes up in a couple years. Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Quinnen Williams's contract is set to expire at the end of the 2027 season. He is signed through 2027, with the contract officially voiding in February 2028.

It's hilarious how you two are always mixing being disgruntled about Jerry and 30 years of losing with everything else in life outside of the Dallas Cowboys.

You two would get really bored really fast if the entire board had the same Pollyanna attitude towards Jerry and his failures and there wasn't anyone left to insult or call a hater several times a day every day. How else would you be able to pat yourselves on your backs trying to show everyone what super fans you are?

Is that what both of you want CZ to be? Nothing is stopping the two of you from creating your own board where you have full control and can kick out anyone who doesn't have the same thoughts and beliefs as you. Your board would fail very fast, though, when you could only recruit maybe 10 to 15 members while CZ has 9,219.

Yea, we tried a Silver Lining forum on old Cowboys forum. It was a ghost town and complete failure.

Some fans can’t handle the criticism and feel it’s their duty to protect the shield from other Cowboy fans offering their take .

Truly a waste of time and they ultimately become the worst trolls on the site hating on anyone who offers critical thought.

I recommend to report them. Action is usually taken. Attacking , insulting and attacks on any aspect of the Cowboys is allowed. Against other fans isn’t .

This works for fans like you, too. Why can't I have some fun by helping you pull the stick out of your backside? It would be boring for you to come on here and read a bunch posts that are pretty much just complaining about the front office, crying because Jerry hasn't won you another SB....basically the entire bored having the same entitled attitude. If me screwing around and blowing off a little steam, bothers you that much, start your own board, nothing, other than an empty wallet, is stopping you. Wouldn't want you to hurt yourself. Make sure your loved ones, if you have any, learn CPR and invest in an AED.

If you and Rockport bothered me that much I would have put you two on ignore a long time ago.

You don't bother me at all, coach, not in the least. You and Rockport get far more agitated with the people who don't think like you or don't comply with your overly optimistic values than anyone will ever become agitated with you.

Happy to hear you're concerned for my health and would like my wife to invest in an AED. That's very kind of you....
