All Negative concerning the Cowboys

[JohnnyHopkins]

Good or bad, the Cowboys get people's attention. Since their play on the field hasn't warranted any attention in years, the media talks about the negative to keep them in the news.

 

[lurkercowboy]

I have known this for 30+ years but I have to admit its getting old. The only thing that will shut these people up is a SB win. I guess I took those 70's and 90's teams for granted. I thought we would always be contenders or in the thick of things. Something is holding us back..:bang2:

That would not shut them up. It didn't in the 70s and it didn't in the 90s.

As a longtime Cowboys fan I can tell you that:
1. This draft was one of the worst in recent mammaries.
2. This is a team stuck in mediocrity with a QB who has great stats but sux when it counts.
3. We seem to be constantly in the mode of missing key elements and emergencies. One year it is O line, the next D line, the next secondary, the next a QB who chokes, the next a GM who is learning on the job (at his age!).
4. A team beset by rising teams in the East such as the Commanders and pretty soon the Eagles and maybe the Giants when they reload.
5. A team that is top-heavy in good receivers and horribly lacking re safeties and the interior D line.
6. A team that will be implementing a new defensive scheme and alignment with old parts.
7. A team that wins just enough to keep us at 8-8 and mired in mediocrity.

As a fellow fan you should know this but thot I'd bring these up.

I half been a Jerry Jones fan for a long time, but in the past 2 years it has dawned on me that despite his proactiveness and his love of his team, he is one of the worst GMs, not only in our history but in the recent history of the NFL. He is a GM who actually believes that Romo's footwork give us breathing room with an O line in flux. That scoring enough points will negate a need for a really good defense. That whistling past the graveyard in terms of an aging QB negates the need to groom a young QB for service 2 years down the road.
A GM who panics and gives Romo a 6-year extension as if this position alone can solve all our problems, defensively and offensively.

It is a testament to the fans of the Cowboys that they have not already left in drove and instead fill the stadium to capacity each home game.

But you can complain about the media and skeptics all you like but these problems I half listed are real. Don't close yours eyes to them.
Can you image what the Cowboys potential would be with GMs like the ones in San Francisco, New England and the Ravens?

It boggles the mind, but Jerra won't let go or fess up he is an amateur until it will be too late.

If I sound negative is because I am. I love my Cowboys too much to see all these things happening and the QB every othe week saying "we half to get better" and the homers clinging to the hope of a Super Bowl. I have set my signs on 9-7 but not a playoff and certainly not a Super Bowl. I am too realistic for that gargage.

 

[egn22]

listen to the G-Bag Nation on 105.3. they're normally pretty good about not ripping the home team, and if they do, they balance it out pretty nice.

Long history of buffoonery doesn't give jones much slack

 

[AsthmaField]

I don't usually get into conspiracy theories about this team since they are theories and not based on anything but hurt feelings in most cases.

However, if Big Top Bozo, the President GM would stop acting like this team is the center of the universe, and dragging his Skeletor butt on TV to announce they have decided to use the same coconut oil butter on the popcorn produced in the concessions stands that you sample at the movie theaters, as if this were a Super Bowl parade, then he would stop putting a target on the team for ridicule.

Jerry treats this team like they won every year because he is a marketing genius.

With that comes ridicule when he also is a football miscreant as a GM.

A lot of the time I don't see eye-to-eye with your views, but I do here.

So many people simply hate Jerry Jones that they automatically hate the Cowboys.

I honestly just wish he would lay low and stay off the TV and Radio. Heck, he could even continue doing what he's been doing with the team... just for the love of God, keep his mouth shut.

As long as I'm wishing, I would love for him to have a normal voice and a normal way of speaking instead of his "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" meets "Honey BooBoo" used car drawl that maybe 1 in 1000 people can accurately decipher.

I'm not quite sure what it is that I feel when I listen to Jerry... but it lies somewhere on the opposite end of the spectrum from "proud that guy runs my favorite team".

:laugh2:


Dallas is the most negative sports town I've ever lived in or been through. Honestly. I always thought this was a very good observation by one Troy Aikman:

"I think for a large part – and the fans don't want to hear this – a lot of the people that attend sports in this town, they're there because it's kind of just a place to be seen. I didn't know anybody who went to Rangers games, and then when they started winning and going to World Series, everybody's wearing Rangers hats and saying, 'Oh yeah, I'm a big Rangers fan.' I've always said Dallas isn't so much a sports town as it is a winner's town."

 

[SportsGuru80]

I actually believe the Cowboys will be a 10 or 11 win team this year.

 

[Deep_South]

I think everyone should know it takes a while to assess the success of any draft. Not a single media person knows how well these players will play over the next few years.

At least they should give us credit for getting our 7th round choice without having a pick in that round.

1. Immediate draft grades are stupid. It takes at least 3 years to accurately grade a draft because you've had the chance to see how the players have performed. Immediately after the draft there isn't a person alive who knows how well the new players are going to perform. That's why I roll my eyes every time some media outlet releases their draft grades. Remember when they were giving San Diego high marks for drafting Ryan Leaf?

2. It doesn't matter what is said in the media. What matters is what happens on the field.

That said, am I sitting at the edge of my seat anticipating a Super Bowl victory? No. I don't rule it out, but I find it unlikely. I've been a fan since 1971. I remember most of the golden Landry years (from about 1967 to 1983) where each year was a legitimate chance to win it all. It's not like that anymore. That's been replaced with, "Oh, well, I hope they have a shot." However, see #2. It doesn't matter what the media is writing about or even what we're writing about here. What matters is what happens on the field. If they can find a way to make good things happen there, it will shut the media up and give us things to cheer about here.

Absolutely clueless, all that typing and said nothing. Wow!!! Smh!!

 

[SWG9]

I just wish we had a team with some fight that would silence all of the negativity.

We've had so many opportunities to do it yet every season they find ways to add fuel to the fire. They have nobody to blame but themselves for the constant black cloud over this organization.

No kidding. If the Cowboys want people to stop talking about their failures, they should stop failing. Novel concept.

 

[CoCo]

Oh it is. It is...

The funniest thing I have ever seen on this site. Period.

That was good. But its not close the funniest thing ever seen on this site.

I think it was 2011 when someone got the idea to capture the teams struggles in caricatures. OMG! It was roll on the floor, side-splitting laughter. I particularly remember multiple drawings of Costa at the line snapping the ball when the rest of the team was still in the huddle. I want to say that Ogletree's confusion was in there too.

I've got to search the archives. It was all-time hilarious and I'm not one who likes to poke fun at the team.

 

[CowboyMcCoy]

In football, your track record is indicative of your future. Our immediate future includes Rondald McDonald as our coach. So they may not be too far off. We've got a load of talent, but until we get a real coach I'll remain skeptical.

 

[muck4doo]

Until the Cowboys won that Super Bowl against the Dolphins, they were always ridiculed. Hoping the draft they made brings in another ring.

Please do; I missed that.

I tried. The 2011 archives are empty. Or maybe I don't know what I'm doing...
