Every off season we had to see stories about how he was “playing hurt”. Who cares it’s the NFL. I don’t care if your shoulder hurts.
While true....injuries can have a impact on a guys career. I believe that's why Miles Austin and Mo Claiborne's careers went the way they went. Same goes for Sean Lee.

The issue with Crawford wasn't Crawford. He was what he was. He didn't trick the Cowboys. The Cowboys are the ones who chose to hold on to him. They are the ones who signed him to that contract as well.

I really hate how fans get in situations like these....like we get it he underachieved...he was overpaid....but he seems to be a good guy and he's retiring. At what point does the hatred retire?

Why is valid criticism hatred? The NFL is a business about winning. Maybe the country club atmosphere where everybody is buddies is the reason why the team hasn’t won anything in over 25 years? We’re too busy polishing participation trophies.

Meh...everyone gets all wound up because some of us don't go, "Rah, Rah" 100% of the time.

Also, the Hotboyz deserve all the criticism they get. All they did was talk...all the time.

And collect those huge unearned paychecks. Don’t forget those. They sure don’t.

i mean you don’t have to convince me that Jerry Jones is the ultimate cowboys problem lol.


I have nothing against Crawford as a person.

I just personally couldn’t care less about him retiring..... on to the next player.

i only care when excellent players retire, and guys who have won something. I still miss Troy and emmitt and Irvin

NFL players are not regular folks.

To be the most successful at DE or DT you play at a certain weight. He would bulk up or slim down in the off-season just to be moved when the season started.
Such an underrated part of his career. The weight and position fluctuations would make it so hard to play at a high level consistently.

Any criticism = ‘hate’ for some people.
It’s not necessarily that it’s “hate”, it’s more that this is a thread about D-Law’s bond with Crawford and how he saved Lawrence’s career. Coming to this thread to pile on Crawford is strange to me, as we always pile on him and his underwhelming play in relation to his pay. Why not stay positive on a thread about the bond formed between teammates?

Again I don’t care either way just not the type of person to see such a positive story and get negative. Say a player did something really positive, I’m just not the type of poster to come into a positive thread to crap on a player I may not like. But hey, it’s an open forum and we are all different so it is what it is.

When it’s brought to a Cowboys forum, it’s open for comment. And when it’s about two overpaid underachievers, criticism is warranted and should be expected.

It’s great that they’re such rich buddies, too bad winning wasn’t more important.

Screw that @Bowdown27 let it flow man


Crawford was an overpaid guy who barely produced relative to his pay and the fact that he was for some dumb reason, untouchable.

dude just collected a paycheck for nothing the last 2 years.


I’m glad he is gone.


That’s great that him and D law are friends. No worries there. But I couldn’t care less about their buddy story. These are the same dudes who call themselves the hot Boyz while accomplishing Jack squat in the league.

Cause if there's one thing "DakPresgoat" just can't stand it's an overpaid player who under produces.
