not this season unless jerry jones quit's:laugh2:

 

[Howardlittleton64]

Johnson is on IR. But dont let that stop you. You know what your talking about. Keep bashing others for not knowing whats going on.

His point was that our front office has no idea what it is doing. For those who don't turn a blind eye it is obvious.

 

[Hoofbite]

lol, that dude was still on the roster? The fact that it took till this point in the season for a nobody giving absolutely nothing to the team to get cut just speaks volumes about the protection afforded to Jerry's personal pets.

Bingo.

That was the only reason he was around in the first place. He had that twinkle in Jerry's eye firing on all cylinders.

 

[jobberone]

Okay, he was put on IR Nov 17th, guess I missed that. Why did it take so long? Meanwhile, we have Bernadeau playing Center. And we haven't had a 'starting' center since week 1.

Considering he was signed as a G, our starting C is still hurt and our backup is as well, we're pretty lucky he's playing fairly well.

He's a UFA and won't be back.

 

[birdwells1]

this news can't be true. how can he be cut when he was supposed to be "getting a lot of playing time" as "laurent robinson's replacement"?

idiot jerry.

my thoughts exactly.

 

[kirkjrk]

Some simply love to find the dark perspective of every transaction we make. If we sign Holmes, Jerry's an idiot. If we cut him, Jerry's an idiot.

Jerry + Jerry = Idiot That's the reason for our problems. Now we know.

Supposedly Garrett and Romo thought a lot of him, too. That's usually where Jerry gets his reports from.

One too many UDFA projects.

 

[Wolfpack]

Its no different than the times of having 3 or 4 kickers on the roster. This is like letting a special needs kid run an NFL football team. Its horrid, no excuse.

 

[montgod]

The probably sign a LB since Carter may need surgery.

I agree. Probably Lemon?

Yeah jerry had him in the hall of fame before the season ever started.

 

[jbravo316]

Is there someone they cut you would rather have? I mean it looks to me like they had a whole lot of unknown guys vying for #3 receiver spot, and they let that spot sort itself out throughout the season. Given that every other possible #3 receiver has shown something by this point, they cut the odd man out. I doubt it's a coincidence that Holmes gets cut two days after Cole and Dwayne Harris emerge as legitimate receiving threats.

It's also quite possible that the coaches liked Holmes and that's why JJ was optimistic about him and why he got a roster spot. Again, what team hasn't had a project not work out? You'd think with the outrage about this guy that they had given him a $30 million contract or something.

I never personally heard anyone other than loudmouth say he was the second coming of Robinson.

What does that prove? And more importantly, why does it matter?

I could see people being upset if he had been guaranteed the #3 job, but he didn't play. He's just a cheap, failed, project.

Would you rather they had grossly overpaid for Robinson? He's had one good season and has never managed to stay healthy. They filled the spot with several unproven players, and then cut one of them who wasn't producing.

He's a UFA and won't be back.

That's what we thought last year too.

The "poor" roster move is striclty on Garrett and Robinson. Garrett & Robinson should have realized much sooner that Holmes did not have the Talent to play in the NFL. We kept him on the roster during the off season and 12 weeks of the regular season. Do not blame Jerry for being optimistic of a young player. He was an undrafted FA who has no Salary Cap Implications so if Garrett and Robinson wanted to cut him in preseason, I am sure jerry/stephen would not have gone crazy. Stop blaming the GM for the Regular Season. The GM's job is basically over when the regular season starts and the Head Coach is fully responsible for the players and the games by September 1. Injury replacement players and Practice Squad/Waiver pick ups will have some GM involvement though. Based on the board, Garrett got credit for cutting the overpaid/lazy veterans YET Jerry will not allow him to cut a "pet project" who is on a minimum contract.

Jinx.

I don't know if Jerry held up cuting him or not, but its hard to deny that Jerry was talking this guy up as if he were the second coming of Randy Moss. Did he get that info from Garrett? Well, if so, that's one more strike against the red headed step child.

 

[Kangaroo]

lol Coale is still with the organization on the practice squad homie, but it really looks like Beasley and Harris are ready to step up and help more in that 3rd-4th WR role

Coale is on IR with a torn ACL
