Blame the Tyron Injury Debacle on the Front Office

[CowboysFaninHouston]

You don’t know if a 2nd year player who was injured last year has improved and can hold the spot until you see him perform in camp and preseason games. It simply isn’t unreasonable to see what you have in 2 young drafted players knowing you have cutdowns and available veterans to comb through if needed. Signing mediocre vets that only take snaps away in camp and preseason doesn’t seem very smart in my book and you certainly aren’t throwing big money for a backup. People used to complain when they did this very thing. Called them progress stoppers and wanted to see the young draftees get more reps. My biggest point is that we are arriving at the point where the plan either worked or didn’t and it’s what they do between now and opening kickoff that matters the most. If they do nothing and Ball collapses, then I’ll be the first to criticism their bad decision to not sign someone after cutdowns. Until then, I’ll wait and see what happens. Not every plan you have for a position works out. It’s how you adjust when it doesn’t that matters the most. Let’s see what they do first.

lets see where we land. if neither of those guys work out, and doesn't seem we have an alternate plan. we are screwed with Ball as the LT. the OL is a big ole mess

We all have our opinions about Jerry and I certainly respect yours.

My thought is no one wants to win another Super Bowl more than Jerry does. I believe if he could buy one (with cash, not signings), he would pay an insane amount of money to do so. Jerry's ego is so massive that he wants to show the world that his way is the right way.

Jerry's ego is also the reason we probably won't win another for a very long time. He actually believes his way of doing things is the right way. His ego refuses to let him think otherwise. I bet every night he dreams of that moment when he can finally say "I told you so".

Just my opinion on Jerry.

Good point.........my problem with Jerry is that "his way" has not won jack in 26 years but he will not try a new approach.

You know the saying, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Yeah, at this rate my young daughter will be graduated from college and have kids of her own by the time this franchise ever plays in another SB, LOL!

We definitely agree on that.

And, both my daughters HAVE graduated college, got married, and have given me 3 precious granddaughters since our last Super Bowl. I hope you're not doomed to the same fate!

wise move not having a viable swing tackle and back up plan knowing most probably Smith was going to miss time... very wise move....NOT

You don't have to spend a fortune in FA to sign a decent swing tackle. Cap money not used and not having a viable swing tackle are unrelated. A viable swing OT should have been drafted already. Instead, we go w/ late rounders and projects. I love the Waletzgo pick, for example, but he's a project.

Jerry's statement: "I would've been fired as GM w/ any other franchise."

His statement, not mine. So, you are stating that an owner who knowingly uses a GM whom he knows is terrible wants to win more than anything? I'm not understanding how you think that way.
