Per Talkin Cowboys - Hill barely made the team plane

[OmerV]

2021

Normally I would agree, but he's going to have to show at least a tiny bit of something before then or the bust calls will start flooding in.

 

[OmerV]

Promising rookie?

Under what criteria? That he "promised" Rod that he would give it is all in some ceremonial coaching contract?

He wasn't calling Hill promising, he was saying Hill has been "unpromising", and that promising rookies don't act like he has.

When can we officially call him a bust?

We can call him an arse hole right now...

 

[glimmerman]

Hand a rookie a couple million dollars.

 

[Flamma]

When can we officially call him a bust?

No not yet. I still see a lot of Charles Haley in him. Really now, the dude is a BUM! How many good WRs and DBs were on the board when we drafted him?

 

[InTheZone]

just wondering, is there another team trying to snatch him up right now? What team is he trying to play for?

 

[J_Allen]

Why did we draft him?

 

[PAPPYDOG]

He will make a good "Santa" at Xmas time?

But Marinelli had him sign a contract promising he would always give 110%!!!!

How stupid is that

Very stupid, because it shows Hill that Marinelli doesn't know basic math.

Not even sure you can legally obligate yourself to a contract that contains terms that are impossible to satisfy.

Marinelli does that with all draft picks...

Marinelli does that will all draft picks...

It is not a legally binding contract.

To think they could of gotten a starter at SS instead of a sleeping bench warmer...

Thornhill is a FS/CB type player. Not a SS. He is not playing SS in KC. Some teams were reported to have had him on their board as a CB.

 

[bayeslife]

For some around here?

Never.

8 games is never btw LOL

So? It's still stupid to do.

That's something you would find in high school. These are men. It's embarrassing

Wait so he made the team plane.

Where is the problem here?

I'm guessing if he's late, the plane would have taken off.

Yes, if he was late, they would not hold the plane for him.

Jimmy had told the pilot to depart despite the fact that everyone on the plane could see Mike Irvin running towards the plane.

Irvin got himself to the team hotel within a few hours. Jimmy didn't let him start and held him out the first quarter.

Garrett/Jerry might hold the plane for a star player but they're not going to hold it for a player that won't play in the game anyway.

 

[xwalker]

Jimmy would have left before he got there ! and then cut him when they got back.

If he was actually late, Jimmy would depart without him.

The report is that he was almost late...

Jimmy didn't cut Leon Lett and later laughed about fans/media claiming he would cut Lett.

Jimmy: "He was 6-7, 300 and a good player. (laughs) I was not going to cut him. (laughs)"

How stupid is that

People will counter that Marinelli makes all his D-linemen sign that contract. Like that somehow makes it better. What kinda mickey mouse **** is that?

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Mickey (yes the one who praises all things Cowboy), said on yesterday’s Talkin Cowboys that Trysten barely got to the team plane in time.

That along with the thread about Marinelli saying he’s regressing, he’s got a lot of work to do to make the team next year.

That look in yer eye is good enough for me, govnor!
I will will be working out!
God is great!

 

[xwalker]

Damm it would be fun if we could arrange a meeting between you. Let you punch him in the face and then see how long it takes to realize that was a poor decision. You know, nothing personal... just for the entertainment and ***** and giggles value!

That would be awesome.

It's usually 3 years but this guy acts like he doesn't even care if he's here or not.

Exactly
It usually take 3 years to know if a guy can developer
But he can’t develope if he’s not working on it
Don’t draft players with past issues showing they don’t love the game or have work ethic
