Adrian Peterson Sweepstakes ***Officially reinstated (again) and merged***

[mattjames2010]

So is trying to have it both ways. It's either build for the future or try to win now.

No, it's not. Signing Greg Hardy is suring up a need on defense, a player that will give immediate impact. No one expects a DT/DE/CB to come into the league and light it on fire. Are there some players that have? Yes. But this isn't some common occurrence, especially with cornerbacks.

We are building through the draft and developing our own players. It's ridiculous for anyone to think you can't build for the future while trying to win now. This is where teams like Steelers and Packers separate themselves from Broncos and Eagles.

Actually, no, your weird theories comes from saying Murray ONLY played well and stayed healthy for the draft and during contract year. He has the powers to prevent injury to be drafted or to get a big contract. It had nothing to do with our offensive philosophy change and actually giving him the ball rather than taking it away from him.

But let's just ignore all of that.

hes played 2 full seasons in his career. last year of college and last year with us. Wow, i didnt realize how wrong i was about him only performing when hes about to get paid. My apologies

 

[mattjames2010]

Murray had 60 yards of open field in front of him. If he didnt score hed prove another point ive made, he doesnt have top end speed. We lost our MOJO after the fumble. we got it back and got robbed of a legitmate catch. If murray had scored we probably wouldnt have been in that situation. That would have put them on the back foot and we could have defended the pass literally the rest of the game. You know what your opinion doesnt really matter to me anymore. Im done with this argument. You keep thinking your way.

We didn't lose our MOJO we scored on the next damn drive that made it 21-13. If it was 21-10, they would have had the same philosophy. How many points did you think we were up?

Your right, but we were scoring at will, at that point. If we had scored and kicked they would have started at their own 20 not our 50 or wherever it was. Just leave it alone. you have your opinion i have mine. Ive said this 10 times already

It's ridiculous to think you can be patient when your QB has 2-3 years left tops.

You can think you can have it both ways, just don't expect anyone else to agree.

No one else has to agree.

We are not in a "win now" state of mind. Our drafting does not show this, our handling in FA does not show this.

You want an example of a "Win now", look no further than what the Broncos did. Look no further than what the Eagles did in 2011 and this offseason. That's desperation mode, that's "win now". We are not drafting these players with the mindset of winning just now. We drafted Smith, Frederick, and Martin to protect Romo, but this is also an offensive line that will be protecting our future QB as well. We are creating the foundation for the future of this franchise, not just for 2015.

N-O!

How about this. we give up a one, they give AD and they take Mo Claiborne?

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

Not for a 1, a 2 at best, he's 30 years old. Yeh they can HAVE Mo but its' Carr who clears the cap space.

Carr and a 4th....next year.

The Greg Hardy signing screams differently.

Yes, the Broncos went all in, and why wouldn't they? They know that Manning has a year or two left before he's done, and after that they've got no shot. I give them credit for being smart enough to realize that. Romo and the Cowboys are in a similar position.

You cite the drafting of the offensive linemen like it was all a pre-designed plan executed perfectly. When anyone who has done their homework knows it wasn't.

And bringing in Peterson will not stop the Cowboys from continuing to build. He would cost one, maybe two draft picks at most. And if the team drafted well with what they have remaining, they'll be just fine.

The fact is that when Romo is done, so are this team's chances of winning a championship.

I've said before that I would give them a 4th rounder this year and a conditional pick 4th - 2nd next year based on performance.

We are in a WIN NOW state of mind. Hardy was clearly brought in to augment the current status of where this team is at. They are also buidling for the future but without a doubt this team understands the success they had last year and will be bringing in a bellcow because IT WORKED last year. If that is AD great, if it is one of four bellcows availalbe in the draft great. Your theories are off base, argumentative, pot stirring, and 99.9% just your opinion. Go troll the iggles, gnats, or deadskins if you constantly want to start arguments with true cowboys fans.

How bout we tell Minny and AP to pound sand?

Don't try explaining it. He is just trolling. No other explanation

 

[KalEl]

Look, we're not giving up our first for Peterson, simple as that. It's not happening, the draft is less than 3 weeks away, Peterson isn't even on our radar at this point.

Actually you couldn't be more wrong. A deal for AD is in the works. It's gonna come down to what the Vikings are willing to take. We won't give up more than a 2nd for next year or a 3rd this year.

 

[KalEl]

No, it's not. Signing Greg Hardy is suring up a need on defense, a player that will give immediate impact. No one expects a DT/DE/CB to come into the league and light it on fire. Are there some players that have? Yes. But this isn't some common occurrence, especially with cornerbacks.

This is the first post that you and I agree on. Hardy was not brought in as a "win now" piece. He was brought in (with little risk and huge upside) to address a need.

If a deal does get done for AD that is ABSOLUTELY a "win now" move or as I like to put it giving ourselves a shot to win multiple titles with Romo.

 

[KalEl]

The AD news will begin to ramp up again today.

Today is the day everything will go into motion. After we learn whether or not he is reinstated.

 

[pacy]

Doesn't it say he is "eligible" for reinstatement today. So the NFL COULD reinstate him today but don't have to?

Correct.

Right. But it is expected to be today.
