Such insecurity at the idea one would question the logic of the lord of fools.
It's easier to avoid uncomfortable questions and divert it appears.

Silly and awkward undertaking there...I haven't faltered with directions taken. And if you don't understand the Ranger comparisons, because of the Ripple going about the burn barrel, I'll just use the prologue of Lyndon Johnson on a work about the Texas Rangers...'How does one describe a Ranger? He just keeps coming on...if he gets knocked down, he gets right back up and continues mission.'

As to what has been stated, you haven't said **** yet...

I know that if Dallas took a first round WR, then training camp just could be contentious...he isn't stupid, so signing that ****** Williams, already having the beas, that pretty much leaves "1" to consider on the team...so, DEz will be thinking "you drafted this guy to replace me???" get your popcorn ready

You sure don't do much thinking on your own...that was an analogy, to bring a reference point to the front.
I thought you said I missed the humor. Now you want me to think on my own? So demanding... :confused:

The team has a currently functional group on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. So, your statement is valid. Me, I still collect youthful sides to talent for the defense, and push both talent levels and cap management for the defense into the future with picks.

Did you just say Dez isn't stupid? :laugh: Ask any Oklahoma State Alumni of his era... dude is a walking indictment of the public education system.

Are the Dallas Cowboys planning for life without Dez Bryant?
http://thelandryhat.com/2017/04/22/dallas-cowboys-planning-dez-bryant/



...The Cowboys were up against the cap limit once again this offseason so they restructured the contracts of linebacker Sean Lee, center Travis Frederick and left tackle Tyron Smith. Still, the space generated by re-doing these deals wasn’t nearly enough to fill the holes on defense, especially in the secondary.

And the $14 million in cap space relief that came as a result of releasing Romo will not be available until after the draft in June. But honestly, those monies were desperately needed back in March when the Cowboys were losing key players to free agency and there was no way to stop the bleeding.

With the needs piling up and money running low, why wasn’t Bryant’s contract restructured as well? I believe it’s because the Cowboys may be preparing for a future without Dez...

This is silly. When the Cowboys needed to "stop the bleeding" they could have done so at any time if they were willing to price-match for average or injury-prone talent. Knowing they were getting cap relief from Romo, they could have signed anybody they wanted, and dated the contract June 2, 2017.

Or a walking indictment on the war on drugs and mass incarceration.
Showing a lack of empathy for others situation and assuming they are stupid doesn't exactly make you look like a Rhodes scholarship candidate.

my point is that NO ONE is that stupid to not see THAT writing on the wall...I am not asking him to tutor anyone, but if we already have 4 receiving options on any down (not including any RB), and then we pick a 1st rd WR, making it 5, he or his agents will see that from 50 miles away

Dez started falling off when he got paid. He seems to need to be motivated at all times so I'm sure this was done for that reason. I'm sure his agent speaks to him about things like that as well. He knows what he needs to do to stay in Dallas. It's up to him
Yeah, I'm sure Dez planned that broken bone in his foot as soon as he got paid. As far as Dez being motivated, you've been watching a different guy than me. I'll believe what Witten says about Dez before I listen to the talking heads.

Does Dez have a drug problem or been incarcerated? No, so your contribution rings hollow. I've spend my fair share of time in Oklahoma and talked to folks who personally knew Desmond Bryant when he was an OSU Cowboy... they all say the same thing, he was a hell of an athlete but dumb as stump. I have empathy for Dez, he was dealt a crappy hand to start his life when it comes to a stable family situation, but he has over come it thanks to his god given athleticism, good on him. Dude is still as dumb as stump.

His agent will, but not Dez.

Good morning, Cooter...

There could still be reasonable inference as why they didn't commit more long termed. This team, now, is building around the projections of a very youthful quarter back, Dak...and not Tony Romo.
