Cut down day was a push back on our talent evaluator extraordinaire

Will Mcclay is very average,unfortunately we are stuck with him because his replacement will be much worse.his stubbornness in drafting injured players like Devin Moore who had a litany of injuries in College is maddening.

I was trying to be positive about Moore, but the list of players who were injury prone in college and then overcame it in the pro's is short indeed.

You may think this is being harsh on Will McClay, but he is the highest paid non-GM in football and that’s not his fault but he’s also not worth it. He’s been in his organization as long as Larry Lacewell was and he’s accomplished nothing.

It is time to completely overhaul, our scouting system, and our talent evaluation system.

And for those of you uneducated football fans and those of you in denial and those of you who just started watching football when Tony Romo was the quarterback, you have no clue what you’re speaking about.

McClay it’s right in the thick of it and many of these pics are on him like it or not.

You can do this for all 32 teams in some fashion.

The issues are more with offseason free agency reluctance, which they finally set aside this past year.

It's not that serious though I can only imagine how happy in life some of you would be if let's say a pipe bursted in your home and water was everywhere most of you would smile and run a marathon, but someone on here makes a post about football topics and you turn into disgruntled postmen!!

That is society. A bunch of miserable people just looking to complain.
 
I get what you are saying. The 2023 draft was a disaster. The last 3 drafts look a bit better although 2025 and 2026 are still question marks, IMO.

But they draft 3 RB, a spot they really needed to improve over the last 3 years and all 3 are gone. The 2025 draft was the one we really thought they needed to go RB early and they waited to get Blue and Mafah. Blue and Mafah are both gone now and the Cowboys are going with 3 RB including Hunter Luepke, a FB. That's some bad drafting for an important skill position.

They haven't been as good at drafting as they used to be. Still cant believe how bad they've been in the 2nd round the last 26ish years. Just terrible.

The Mazi draft was bad in fact real bad with only Overshown showing much promise. And yes the 2nd round is our kryptonite for some reason .

There’s no doubt that our new defensive coordinator looked at all of these stiffs that the great Will McClay has collected - over the years or had “unearthed-“ I’m laughing as I typed that.
And he said it’s time to start dumping these clowns.

The bravado of our new defensive coordinator to buck the system - to tell the cowboy brass - that you don’t know a hole from your *** - without a doubt rubbed off on our goofball tennis visor wearing head coach.

Schottenheimer spun around and sliced every wart out that McClay brought in and reset the franchise.

Hallelujah

Even at the sake of depth - Schottenheimer and Parker said ENOUGH of this Tom foolery.
Enough of the laziness - enough of the injured draft day sliders - enough of the 7th round miracle pics that the entire league passed on but somehow Will knew better - GONE.

Smell the air a new day upon us - it took Christian Parker to come in and say what the hell is going on here why are you all to Larry Lacewell again?

Hallelujah

you really like Christian Parker
 
What talent evaluator has 100 percent success? Every single team cuts tons of players every single year. It is clear as day that despite some misses, we have been drafting much better than we have in the past. Have we forgotten the special teams draft?

I will never not be amazed at the ability of some of y’all to take a relatively normal thing that every team does and spin it into some narrative that explains the last 30 years or something.

You mean like 17 of 26 players who were on defense last year or actually out of the NFL this morning?
Not that they have been cut but they are actually no longer NFL football players.

Is that perfectly normal?

Is this not a reflection upon Will McClay the highest paid non-GM in football?

I mean, let’s just say that even if 9 of those guys are his- wouldn’t you call that patently absurd?

I bring receipts, my friend.
 
It's never one person. There's an entire staff. Not to mention NEW coaches having input.

Your obsession over Will McClay isn't healthy. And you FAR over blame him when draft picks don't become ALL-PRO's.

McClay gets blamed for some things that aren't really his fault. That's because Dallas has a bizarre organizational structure.

Jerry Jones is still the general manager and has final authority over personnel decisions. Even when McClay is the personnel executive doing the day-to-day work, Jones has explicitly maintained that he makes the final calls.
