That's a narrow view to take given that Gregory likely wouldn't be in the NFL if Jerry hadn't stuck with him.

Why do people keep peddling this parroted line as a way to say Gregory should be beholden to the team when you have the likes of Josh Gordon and our old pal Aldon Smith out there available to contribute? And you're accusing another of a narrow view? He's absolutely right. The Cowboys chose to hold on to Gregory because he was cheap and had 1st Round talent but make no mistake that Gregory would have had a job elsewhere with his 1st Round talent, potential or actual and it could have even been a better situation for him versus the big media lights of Dallas. If he were some Lucky Whitehead pee-on he would have gotten the Lucky Whitehead treatment.

Dude, seriously? I said in the exact same post: "I don't fault Gregory for leaving. I'm glad he's gone though" Way to cherry pick and excise and argue only part of a stance. That's dishonest.

I'm not even going to bother further responding to you about this given that you cut out part of what was said and then argued as if that was my entire stance.

Spare the histrionics. That "part" of your stance was flawed so I pointed it out. Especially when you accuse someone else of a narrow view while stating your very own. No need to bother with the rest if I'm only going to address one part of it. Don't know where you're getting that I'm assuming it was your entire stance or even more laughable that it was dishonest. I can read, so I did. One part caught my eye and I responded with evidence to the contrary to that one part. Do you feel "attacked" by this manner of responding because the board is wired to respond to only parts of posts?

Sure man. Whatever. Continue to take things in partial context only. Bye.

Your "partial context" was more than partially inaccurate which would make your entire context faulty anyways. But I get the feigned "outrage" and trying to make this about me being "dishonest" somehow because then you can huff and take your exit without having to actually address what I took issue with.

Speaking of histrionics.

Anyway, I'm done with you. We both know you enjoy throwing out bait just to argue. Congrats. Ignored.

How many solo tackles is worth 1 sack? I'm curious, because there's only a 1 sack difference but 8 solo tackles difference. Armstrong didn't also laugh after committing stupid penalties.

Armstrong was playing while Gregory was out with his problems. Armstrong has went years between making plays. You can believe that Armstrong and Fowler are legit edge rushers, but that is a fantasy. Gregory had no loyalty when all was said and done, but the two people greeters that are penciled in at DE will hurt this team time after time.

Lol. The only bait was in your post and I addressed its flaw. You just had no defense for it so you pulled an "I'm incredulous!" to avoid talking about it and exit stage left gracefully.

I also loved Randy Gregory. Don't really know why, but I was pulling for him every step of the way. Maybe I see some of my oldest son in him, the one I nearly lost to drugs. I cannot express my joy when Randy gaot his head on straight, got back to the team, and really started putting it all together, finally. I was so looking forward to see what he could really do. To see him really grow and blossom.
And now this. There is no other man in the NFL other than Jerry Jones that would have stuck by Gregory. None. I truly believed in my heart of hearts that if there was ever a player that would be truly LOYAL to the Dallas Cowboys in this day and age, it would HAVE to be Randy Gregory. Right? Randy Gregory, literally, owes Jerry Jones EVERYTHING. 100% of everything that he has is due to Jerry Jones sticking by him.
I understand the clause.
Every contract that he ever signed had that clause in it. I know that it gave Dallas the right to cancel his guarantees if he was fined. But it did NOT lower his pay or remove any dollars from the deal. So even if Dallas DID cancel his guarantees, he could STILL earn every dollar in that contract. That fact is lost on many, possibly including Randy. This whole thing has dimmed my faith in humanity.

The real sheep can't understand that. Oh well.

If people are depending on Armstrong to be all-world, we've got issues. He'll have his chance to prove everyone wrong but people are only talking up Armstrong as ammo for their ax to grind with Gregory. We'll see what happens if he takes most of the snaps there.

I would say Jerry has responsibility for allowing it to continue, Jerry should have cut him after getting suspended in 2017. Giving a guy another chance is one thing but Jerry continued with more chances that lead to the Cowboys continuing to use resources at DE when they could have focused on other areas.
I think it ironic that Gregory was offended by the clause in the contract, he earned that clause by his own actions.

Exactly. But NOOOOO, RG didn't want to guarantee he'd stay out of trouble, he wanted to sit at home and smoke weed while getting paid a few million $ and not have to work for it. Cowboys told him to stuff it and rightfully so.

Pos. JJ paid him when most other teams would have never touched him after that last suspension. Maybe the one before that. Or the one before that. He would have had been out of the league if not for JJ. That’s JJ fault and problem.

If I had my choice of problem players I would have tried to work with Irving more. He could take a game over without getting penalties.

I don’t blame a player for leaving for more money. It’s a business for owners and players. I wouldn’t expect Gregory to take significantly less money out of loyalty for the person who paid him when he wasn’t playing and kept him in the league so his recovery and medical needs were met. But if Gregory thought language protecting the franchise if he screws up again was not warranted then he must be expecting to screw up again

Wasn’t less unless you get in trouble.

I didn't say Armstrong was great. I said there wasn't a lot of difference between their numbers. Gregory, while good, wasn't worth what he ended up being paid. The team has a lot of holes to fill but a limited number of picks.

Honestly , he’s a weed head who has never gotten 10 sacks. He’s not important enough to worry about. If yiure that weak emotionally that you need weed to function a d out it before a million dollar career, you’re pathetic.
