We hit on most and over the last few years we have hit on more than most other NFL teams.
We will need to keep doing that if we give most of our cap space to a few players. Lol.. The new triplets are expensive.

Bottom line we wasted a 1st round pick because of some personality conflict off the field that couldn't get ironed out . Taco earned playing time this preseason I can understand frustration after performing but still being put on the back burner .

We have a very talented roster but wasting 1st round picks while other teams can pick up these problem children and make them serviceable is part of the reason why the Patriots win the SB and we are out of the tournament early .

Will McClay. The coaches can like whomever but its Wills group that does the majority of the scouting and making recommendations based on the type of player the coaches want. The board is his mostly. I just wish the jonses would go on vacation and let him run the whole draft without any interference but atleast stephen is better than jerry.

Like the scouts did when they said TJ Watt was the better player and were overruled by Marinelli and Garrett?

Week 3, rookie season. Lol.

And the same thing was said about Gavin Escobar, and Taco himself.

"Lol" indeed.

It's always a "rush to judgement" when it's critical. And then when those concerns are proven accurate, it's "time to move one, stop dwelling in the past".

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

How can you say Hill is a bust. He hasnt even played yet. Lol. They are going to make sure he knows what he is doing in this system before they throw him out there. Not all DT are donald and suh. Taco was making improvement in everything but his attitude. He played really well in preseason but he already did what he did. All he wants to do is be a situational pass rusher.

Few posters started this crap last week coz he was inactive. One when to say he'll be a "non-factor" over the next couple years. Dude hasn't played one game and some are ready to toss him like bad dishwater,

They are wanting to make sure he knows what he is doing, you don’t want a DT liability out there getting pushed out of place.

It's no secret he had some immaturity issues......either way, like any highly drafted player, I'm giving him a min 2 years.

I expect this to be Rods last hurrah, and respectfully retire. Please Lord.

I think he'll retire or be 'retired'. But like the Monte Kiffin disaster or the Linehan firing, it will be misrepresented to the public in an effort to save face and not hurt anyone's feelings. That's overly important within this organization. We're very big on not hurting feelings.

Is he a good player or not? Did we evaluate him correctly based on his talent?

He can't be a "good player" when he can't get on the field, so the answer is "no".

And you seriously want to talk about "evaluating him correctly" at this point? That displays a serious and complete lack of awareness of the subject.

So in other words you do not want to speak honest on the subject for the appearance of not being wrong

yeah..its a problem.

Rod loves the bend but dont break scheme, so we need 4 DL who can make plays.

I'd like to think this is Rod's last season.

What's innacurate about anything I've said? Feel free to point them out.

It's clear that you're the guy who doesn't want to face the truth here. Once again because that truth is critical of the Cowboys and you can't handle it.
