People are just obsessed with the guy. Sad.

Hardly obsessed.....been twenty freaking years man. This team is close having a chance slim or not of getting AD is an incredible opportunity.

Anyone as shocked as me that the NFL isn't moving quickly on this?

'With all his problems' and we still signed him at all? Now you come on.

Nothing to come on about. It's been well debated in here it is a very Cowboy friendly contract with no risk to the team at all.

I wonder how much the A A Ron trial has to do with this hold up. Goodell has to be very concerned about how he handles things going forward.

I think its absurd to hold these teams hostage. I can't believe the PA is screaming already!

Almost as sad as those obsessed with trying to tell others what they should or shouldn't talk about...

Stash im riding with you on this AP thread. I would love a Gurley, Gordon etc to build on but if I have a chance of getting AP for like a second rounder im pushing my chips in. I want to win now and not think about what may happen years from now. Even if we sign AP, this teams full of young inexpensive good players. In my opinion the only way signing AP could blow up negatively is if he or Romo has a season ending injury, which is a risk you face every year regardless. I would rather win one in the next two years and talk about it for the rest of my life, then not take a risk, still fail, and talk about that for the rest of my life

Ya, I have a 50+ thread on Jim in the off topic section.

And nobody is disputing that. Just like there's no disputing the fact that any help that Hardy provides is to win now, this year. Nothing in his entire one year, no franchise tag arrangement says anything about 'building' or 'long term'.

If that's not win now, I don't know what qualifies.

I think that the Players' Union does need to step it up and I wouldn't be surprised if they're investigating their legal options behind the scenes already.

The league is playing fast and loose with the rules and making it up as they go along with the players simply expected to take it. Whatever they signed up for in the current collective bargaining agreement, it didn't include this nonsense.

Restructing everyone available to the max and signing a bunch of FA's?

We're in complete agreement here. There are no guarantees in life, but I feel that you can do the best you can to give yourself the best percentages for success.

And I would like to sum up what you're stating above in plain terms, would you rather a 1st round defensive player and Adrian Peterson with the second rounder, or Gurley/Gordon in round one an a lesser defensive player in round two?

Give me the 1st round defender and Peterson, all day, every day!

Your requirements differ greatly from my own.

And by the way, the team just did restructure its' most expensive contract. Two of them in fact.

That speaks loudly to me.

My latest diabolical plan involves helping push this obsession thread to 53 obsessive pages.

You're reaching.

We restructured because it was a necessity to sign draft picks. We didn't do it to sign every big name FA under the sun. You really just don't have a grasp on what a "Win now" is at all if you used that as an example.

And someone with such a narrow minded opinion does? Common man...

You really haven't disputed a single thing I've said in this thread.

So yeah, I'd say I do.
