Witten ran in the 4.6's coming out. He's also tough as nails and a great blocker. But with Witten coming out of games the last few games with nicks and bruises it should be an opportunity for Escobar to shine and so far that hasn't happened either. I don't know what's going to take for him to show anything. So far he looks like a bust. Even Hanna has shown more potential than him.

He (and everyone else) doesn't have a very good passer at the moment. Look I'm not defending the guy. He certainly hasn't blossomed. Not sure why but it doesn't have to be because he's a bum. Maybe he is and maybe not.

And again I don't know why people are ragging on a player with a handful of snaps a game.

Calling people SuperFans in a derisive way, Kool Aid drinkers, etc is name calling. Stop being coy. But I think you understand so knock it off. EVERYONE so you don't feel picked on. If you want further clarification take it to PMs. Telling people they are blind to your so called failings of their favorite team is derisive.

I never seen the same outrage when someone wants to term any criticism as "crying" or " whining". Seems an obvious double-standard. I never addressed the term towards you, and as you've said, it doesn't fit you anyway. The comment was a generalization toward people who can't handle any criticism directed towards the Cowboys.

Escobar makes some plays but he's still an unknown. I can't tell why he isn't getting more snaps. And neither can you. You assume he is a 'bust'. IDK. How many snaps does he have a game where he is targeted?

He's not an unknow, he's a well-established non-contributor. And because of that mistake, we're using aa 2016 draft pick on yet another one, and keeping four, all while only getting production from one (Witten).

Ok, Escobar sucks and Bell rocks and we could have had him. Again, ridiculous notion. Nothing to do with either player actually. Pick ten years of drafts and find hundreds or more of these examples from every team. It's beyond ridiculous. Cherry picking to be charitable. Not sure I can constructively say what it really is.

What's "ridiculous" is your obvious inability to handle this fact. It happened and you need to deal with that fact.

Again, if you want to cherry pick drafts retrospectively round by round be my guest. It means nothing other than to give you some nit picking way to bust on the team. Give me a break. I hate it when we lose beyond the dissatisfaction of the team doing poorly. It's all this stupid chaff being emitted which is the same old and erroneous crap every time it happens.

Nothing at all "erroneous" about it, unless you mean the Cowboys making errors in judgement, then, sure.

Here's the simple truth. People are frustrated we are losing and this nonsense starts up every time. We are losing because we aren't passing well and that's because our backups to date have failed. That's it. No poor drafts. No sucky Escobar and whatever player people here are ragging on and scapegoating. No crappy schemes, play calling (ok maybe some), OC, HC or Jones yada. Pass efficiency and differential.

Is that the 'official word' on it or is it your individual opinion? Last I checked, you don't have the right to tell anyone else what to think, how to feel, or how to react or to tell anyone what 'the truth' is. I will certainly agree that we're all frustrated, and I think that's perfectly understandable when what we hoped would be a championship season is going down the toilet.

You can have the last word.

Thanks for your permission.

I do not know to be honest, seems like it is under investigation also by the NFL.

Living in Wichita, I get to hear all the Randle news first hand. The local media, as you might suspect, is all over this. There is a reason he was never prosecuted.

I'm actually saddened by the human tragedy of the Randle situation, particularly if it does involve a clinical diagnosis of mental illness, but I just can't resist the temptation ....

Joseph Randle finally breaks into the open!

I don't know if I would feel better or worse if we find out it's mental illness.

So? He hooked up with a local freak?

Sad but it happens.

Speaking for myself, I'm frustrated like many here, and watching Escobar disappear instead of stepping up adds to that. Then add in the fact that we cut this season's starting running back while passing over a guy who has become one of the league's best and most complete backs to draft the Invisible Man (Escobar), and it makes all of these events feel even worse.

It is a Tweet. It outlines what happened from what is known. You are the one reading in the intent. See how that works?.

"The Cowboys cared so much about a troubled Joseph Randle they cut him via a phone call."

That was the tweet. Explain how it's known that they cut him because they didn't care about him very much. I mean, since it's what was known and all. Give me a break. Honestly, I think it's weird that you're defending such baseless negative supposition as if it were true.

The Garrett quotes were not vague nonsense. He specifically said they were continuing to extend the services of the team's player engagement department. That's not corporate propaganda, unless you're suggesting he's lying or that the services don't exist.

And I didn't dance around the Brent stuff. I just didn't see it's relevance.

I assume Randle and his counsel have denied the allegations, so how do we know he is truly innocent of these allegations?

I do not know whether they are true or not but how does one prove these allegations without multiple witnesses and/or video?

Further, the type of mind that can underwrite stealing cologne and underwear from a local department store certainly has at least the potential for other acts of prodigious stupidity.

So if it is factual, and negative, it is what?

This whole thing is shrouded in garbage, I fail to see how you can claim that a beat writer is muck-racking just simply because you don't like the impression you think he is presenting.

And I defend it because it is all we have. Unless you believe in fairies and unicorns. Or what authority says via staged and controlled statements or press conferences.

You clearly do not understand corporate propaganda. What the Cowboys did for Brent was real and tangible, right away. Right down to letting his fat butt down on the field after his irresponsibility literally killed someone. If you want to know what I meant by inconsistent, I hope that clears it up for you.

The Cowboy handled this about as well as you can, publicly, but just like the Ratliff thing, there is a lot, a whole lot, unknown and probably likely to stay that way unless Randle from Planet Zoom pushes it.

It is okay. You can feel secure until that happens.

Are you guys really arguing about a C. Hill tweet? That guy is barely literate. I wouldn't count on him being correct about anything until proven by other sources.

You really can't. Everything start to become circumstantial. But her side of the story appears to have more holes in it.

My first reaction, then I see how the organization bent over backwards and rolled out the red carpet for a far less talented player in Josh Brent.

And I loathe Randle. But sends a bad message. I don't care how stupid he is, he deserves a face to face.

I wonder what he really did. Has to be more than we know.lol

So it was really nothing, just different things... they say..... Sounds like all this was a false flag to distract from Dez's monkeygate.
