What worries me most is that all this time and effort has been put into Gregory................ Only to have him turn out to be a JAG. Something that could very EASILY happen btw considering how much time he has missed. I was never really all that impressed with him as a player in the first place let alone how rusty he will be now. I dunno,.... hope for the best I guess but sure arent counting on much.
What effort. The guy hasn't been around for two seasons. Don't get your panties in a wad over something that didn't happen. Gregory hasn't been around to be a distraction or require a lot of work. In the heat of every day events, the Cowboys hardly even think about him.
I look at it like a young woman going on maternity leave. You don't think about missing her while she's gone, because you're too busy doing your job. Your just happy when she gets back to work to pick up her part ot the load again. I expect the Cowboys have approached the absence of Gregory similarly. Out of sight, out of mind. When he comes back, he'll be welcomed with open arms, and everyone will be pulling for him. If he never comes back, oh well.
It's just the reality of how we deal with things. I don't know why fans think that just because the media asks questions, it actually affects how the team operates. The simple fact is almost the only time and effort the Cowboys have put into Gregory the last two seasons is answering media questions. That may seem like a big deal to fans, but it's just a regular part of the job for players and coaches. If the media weren't asking about Gregory, they'd be asking about something else, so it takes no more effort to answer Gregory related questions than questions on other topics. Those interviews reveal a whole lot more about the focus of the media than the focus of the team.
