He has already contemplating returning to school if the Jets or Giants have the pick.

I think he is just concerned about the Jets, because that organization is hopeless.

As of today we pick #8. As bad as it’s been other teams suck more!

Ourselves. We just got to get back to the glory days when we went about things the right way. Loved the game of football and stacked good days. We are a rudderless ship.

Exactly
The jets are the real competition
At best we might win one more game
The odds of jets winning more than one more are slim
They have one of the toughest schedules
Hopefully we stay with Ben at QB and get the young players reps and find a way to lose the rest of the season
Losing really is winning at this point

Yeap... for the good of the realm.

They are usually good with top picks.... There will be a consensus around the league.

I have expectationions that are not that great based on the reality of the situation, maybe 5 wins at best, but you can be sure I am rooting for this team to win every time they step on the field. Your original post is actively rooting for the team to lose no matter how you word it, that is 100% wrong in my book. Low expectations and rooting against your team are not the same thing.

I used to have that view. I thought it was correct football fan view. For twenty five years?
Teams are tanking yearly now. Look at Miami. it's smart if your cap is bloated and players taking checks. I guess Im a fake fan. Could care less

I dont think it matters if you're rooting for or against the cowboys. Unless dinucci turns into Aaron Rodgers this team may not win another game all year.

They are also competing against any other team that might be willing to trade the draft as Snyder did for Griffin and Ditka did for Williams.

If CIN or HOU gets that top spot, they're looking to make a haul because they don't need a QB. I think ATL is going for that spot and Lawrence.

CC, that Houston pick belongs to MIA for the Tunsil trade I believe.

I wonder how Bengals fans feel after going 2-14 last year and ending up with Burrow. Do you think they would prefer to go 6-10 ?

Who held a gun to their head and forced the Burrow pick?

Yep.
We need Trevor!!! I am not rooting for the Cowboys to lose.
Just like Spurs fans in 1997 were not rooting for the Spurs to lose. They ended up with Duncan and got 20+ years of success.
I don't know if Trevor is that kind of player.. but lets try to get a generational talent, like the Colts did in Manning.

And like the Chargers got with Leaf and the Colts with George and the Browns with Couch and the Texans with Carr and the Raiders with Jamarcus Russell and the Rams with Bradford and the Jags with Bortles?

I'm not saying Lawrence would be duds like those guys (although I have my doubts about Lawrence), but we do have to realize that along with some successes there are a lot of duds that end up getting taken looking for that elite talent at the top of the draft.

AFC
Jets 0-7
Bengals 1-5-1
Texans 1-6
Jaguars 1-6

NFC
Giants 1-6
Vikings 1-5
Falcons 1-6

So we have to compete with the Jets, Jaguars, Falcons, Giants, Vikings
I don't see the Jets winning more than one game and this will probably doom us. Man we can't even lose correctly.
Just imagine we luck into a Herbert, Burrow, Tua type . I would keep Nolan and keep the complicated scheme. Winning a game moving forward is a mistake. 2-14 should get us the 2nd pick and Lawrence will balk at going to the Jets so that is where Jerry swoops in and grabs him.

OURSELVES LOL

How has that worked out so far?

In terms of on the field results not jersey sales.

Folks Trevor Lawrence has a 0 percent chance of being a Cowboy. Zero. Please understand this.

I wonder if Lawrence would stay in school if the Jaguars had the #1 pick locked up.

The chances of him staying is not 0 that’s for sure.

Man I hear what you are saying.. What's that saying.. you miss all the shots you don't take.
I would love to be in the catbird seat vs picking @ 11 and looking at paying Dak 40 per year.
Paying Dak with the state of this team is utterly idiotic. Beyond stupid. Flushing the next 5 years down the toilet.
Is our goal to become the Vikings?

Your name on the board is very interesting. Lol

Jets probably not winning another game
Jaguars maybe beat the Vikes and/or the Bears
Falcons I could easily see them winning 2 more, maybe 3
Giants I believe they'll win one more, the Cowboys
Vikings I see a possible 5 more wins on their schedule

Also, don't count out the Broncos. I wouldn't put it passed Elway to try and save his job with a QB trade.

So, as we sit here right now, I'm thinking it's going to be the Jets at #1, Jags at #2, and a toss up between the Broncos and the Cowboys at #3.

Who are we competing with?
