Time to shut up and be positive - there's a lot to like here

While I agree with you on the TE position I totally disagree with you on the Jones family. You obviously haven't been paying attention because that whole dynamic has changed over the last several years. Will McClay is making the vast majority of talent decisions and the Jones are deferring him. Be objective and try not to hate. I know hating is popular on this board and others tend to follow suit but take a step back and contemplate what the organization has been doing in the last few years. We are a playoff caliber defense. They have taken the big risk in trading a #1 for a much needed WR. The fired their OLC coach. The organization is doing what is necessary.

3-4. 5-3 last year to start. 4-4 to finish. 13-3 the year before. Quick exit in the layoffs. 4-12 the year before that. 2014 was good I will give you that. Lots of mediocrity before that. No playoffs. Just be honest - This is an average team. Could be good with a good coach. The difference between 5-2 and 3-4 is the coach. They will NEVER win with him at the helm. That is objective. Why? 8 plus seasons - 1 playoff win. The proof is there. No team besides the Bengals would allow that.

2 seasons ago the Rams were doormats. Today, they are likely the SB favorite. I bet even you can tell what is different.

What is NOT objective is claiming this team is doing what is necessary. They fired a coach that should have never had the job and overpaid for a WR (Done that before). How is that doing what is necessary? It is desperation. When this team is done with the next 6 games one of us is going to be eating some crow.

By "haters" do you mean long time fans who hate seeing the Cowboys be mediocre? We're 3-4, which is consistent with what we've witnessed over the course of 22+ years.

Whether I'm positive or negative is driven by results. If that makes me a "hater", so be it.

It does and your self imposed handle agrees

Dak is 25-14 as a QB

Another way of saying that is Dak is 12-12 in his last 24 games.

Maybe, but really, how does “eating crow” for some armchair QBs on the Internet matter at all to anyone? Everyone has an opinion—we’re all just speculators—but we have won less than ZERO influence to change anything.

I want Garrett and linehan our but I’m excited to see amari cooper in a Dallas uniform. This is a shiny new toy. He’s our first round pick next year come early. Let’s see how this goes.

Why would I lie like that?

You're right. It is almost pointless especially when there are guys out there that put silly signatures like "Rock-n-Roll Forever!" as a signature.

 

[Falco78]

I will shut up and be quiet when Garrett is Fired!!! Actually, I will literally jump for joy!!! Hate to say it but there is very little hope of playoff success until Garrett and Linehan are canned!!

Besides almost a failed decade what tells you that?????

 

[TheHerd]

Here's my optimism...

#3 in total defense
#3 in pass defense
#9 in run defense, but...
#2 in yards given up per rush, and...
#2 in points allowed per game

Here's my pessimism:
#28 in takeaways (only 1 team worse)
#18 third down defensive efficiency
#26 passer rating allowed
#18 in sacks
#16 passer YPA allowed
#28 completion pct allowed

We only stop teams because they don't want to take chances because they know we have a truly pathetic offense. If we need a stop, we will not get it. We do not get pressure when it's needed.

I won't even bother posting the offensive vileness, it's too easy and way too depressing.

Rock IS forever! That’s MY opinion! Anyone who doesn’t like rock-n-roll can SUCK IT!

Jerry makes positivity impossible.

When he’s cussing, doesn’t he remind you of a Goonie?

That's ridiculous, have you watched the games this year? We've been in every one. Teams are not holding back on our defense.

Reminds me of the college frat boys who “over cuss” to look cool. Never works.

I’d say you must LIKE being depressed, because you keep cheering for the Cowboys, but if you stop and think about it, you’re not actually cheering at all, are you?

Yep. That's some healthy pessimism alright. I'm glad football doesn't depress me like that.

I was pretty shocked at his overuse of F bombs when he knew he was being filmed for All or Nothing. Did he think that made him look like a real HC?

I think most HC’s would go the other way if they knew they were being recorded. And I wonder if some people who had that Landry-Garrett connection because of the the sideline low key demeanor saw that?

Jerry makes positivity impossible.

While all the while trying to sell it. Such irony. The best way for him to spread some positive vibe would be to announce his family is selling the team.

fans would be dancing in the street. except those actually upset about the forbes title?
