I may or may not have been wrong about Garrett. When he first got here I thought he was going to be great, and he did very well in 2007. But last year he was abysmal and I fear I may have been very very wrong.

I was convinced Felix Jones was a waste of a pick. Now I think he is the player I am most excited to watch this year.

I was wrong as well. I was so McFadden happy that I forgot about the guy that averaged 8 ypc right in front of my eyes. The transition to the NFL certainly hasn't affected his speed because he still seems to effortlessly beat guys to the corner.

I hope he gets 8-12 touches each game. That includes KO returns. We've got a great stable of backs and they all need to be fresh as possible down the stretch. I love the idea of riding all three horses down the stretch instead of being a dropback team.

I was wrong about Jerry Jones... I thought he was actually smart and had somewhat of a clue as a GM, boy did I get that wrong, he has no clue as a GM...

I was wrong about Rowdy. I thought he would go down as the best damn mascot ever. Instead he just goes down. I thought he would unseat the San Diego Chicken or at least the Philly Fanatic.

I was wrong about Henson as well.

I was thrilled when we drafted Carp. Wrong again.

I was wrong about Ware :bang2:. I wanted Merriman. So glad I was wrong.

I thought Pat Watkins was an athletic freak of nature and that noone would ever complete a pass on us again.

I thought Skyler Green would finally be our answer at punt returner.

I was wrong about Henson.

How many of you pathetic SOB's (like myself) watched him over in NFL Europe after the 2005 season.

How many of you were ticked when Parcels bumped Romo ahead of Hneson on the depth chart?

I remember being sooooo POed that Parcels was giving Romo a whole game to play to start the 2006 pre-season. How the hell are going to get Henson ready if we waste playing time on this Romo kid.

By halftime of that game, I didn't want to see Henson or Bledsoe. I was sold on Romo.

1. I thought Drew Henson was the real deal:(

2. At first, I thought Tony R. would turn out to be nothing but Gary Hogeboom 2.0 (thank goodness I was wrong)

3. I believed Herschel Walker would be worth at least 2 Super Bowls when he became a Cowboy in 1986 (I guess I wasn't completly wrong thanks to his being traded)

4. Totally believed that Dan Reeves' Falcons would beat Elway's Broncos in Super Bowl XXXIII:(

Bill * Parcells. I loved it when Jerry brought him in. Absolutely loved it.

My aunt told me that she didn't respect him at all and that I'd see it soon enough. It took three seasons.

I would have paid the moving expenses to get him out of here when they brought in Bledsoe. I think I outright yelled things I can't even censor here when we signed that POS. I have to hold myself back from typing my feelings about that waste of a fetid steaming pool of diarehitic dog turds that is Billy Parcells.

I thought for sure Julius was going to be the next Dorsett and like another member, I'm sold that 34-32's overbearing maniacal psycho games ruined him.

Terrell Owens. The first authentic jersey I ever bought. Got lots of replithentics, but no real deal $300 jobbers except TO. Now I'm glad to see him gone.

ESPN. At one point they were a respectable news and sports network. Now I think they're a cross between Lifetime and Oprah with a little View thrown in.

I thought Cedric Jones was going to be a ferocious defensive end coming out of the 1996 draft, excuse my twelve year old mind's faulty analysis.

I thought Curtis Enis would break the Heisman runningback curse.

I was certain Cedric Benson would be a formidable pro.

I thought Rae Curruth and Reidel Anthony were going to be super stars.

I wanted Dallas to draft Booger Mcfarland instead of Ebenezer Ekuban, this one I was actually correct about.

I didn't want Campo fired in favor of Parcells as i thought Campo just had crappy rosters to work with.

I thought Derek Ross would be a star.

I thought Quincy Carter would eventually get it.

I thought that Dwayne Goodrich would be able to hit something besides pedestrians.

Really? Nobody else thought Troy Hambrick would be a stud? I was the only fool? ;)

For the longest time I thought Roy w would turn it around and retire a Cowboy.

I didn't think it was possible to miss on a "prjected starter" as much as Barbie. I wince just thinking about it.


I thought Eli would have been out of the league in five years.

I was wrong about thinking Barber could be the starter and not getting get injured.

Technically, Roy Williams could eventually re-sign a one-day contract and retire as a Cowboy. :)

Yeah yeah yeah. I'm a smart you-know-what. :D

Say, what's that red X beside Tony Romo in your sig line supposed to be :confused:

After the first game he played I though for sure he was gonna be the next great QB. But after last season I have a feeling how dead wrong I was. I dont think he'll get any better than he is now, which is just good and thats it.

I think Dallas can win with Romo, but again it is not all about the QB when winning. Romo is putting up an avg over 2 TD passes per game that ranks with the best. Yes he has to do a better job of protecting the ball when he has an on coming rush and that can be corrected but the guy makes plays and does not quit. It will take this entire team stepping up to win a championship but I have no doubts Romo can do the job.

I've already eaten crow over them releasing Greg Ellis. I was certain they weren't going to keep him one more year. I was wrong.
