Bryan broaddus says he tried to get Charles Woodson to Dallas

[T-RO]

Broadus is not inerrant.

But he knows more football than anyone on this board.

The gap between an NFL insider and anyone else (even a college coach) is pretty huge.

And the game has changed to such an extent that he even you played or coached for the Cowboys fifteen or twenty years ago...a lot of that knowledge isn't so relevant now.

I was just barely able to stomach Deion because he was the best lock down CB I ever saw. Woodson is nowhere near as good a player and not worth the headache.

What's the story on Broaddus? Why'd he leave the Cowboys scouting department and scouting in general?

I usually look forward to his articles. He has a background in the game so he brings more than the writers ever will. He seems honest and, from what I can tell, doesn't have an axe to grind. Obviously, there are some on here that must feel otherwise, but I haven't seen it.

 

[burmafrd]

remember no one is perfect and no one calls them all right. So yeah this guy is very good but the rule is the same for him as for every other expert.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

I'm a big fan of Broadus and his insights.

I check for his posts regularly. He's one of the best out there, IMO.

 

[burmafrd]

an exact opposite of the cowturd, dumbdukes, etc. But never take one source for the gospel on anything- always have multiples.

As a friend once said to me: "if 25 people you know tell you that you are drunk, its time to borrow a quarter and lay down in the gutter"

I dont know much on Broddaus sounds to me like the zone dosent feel all fuzzy inside towards him

Just the people that can't handle criticism of the team.

Woodson is a Diva. Frankly not someone I would want on the team.

He ought to be a diva, he's one of if not the best defensive player of our time and a possible HoFer.

 

[burmafrd]

BS about being the best Def Player of our time. And no one OUGHT to be a diva; that is frankly stupid.

Has he been a Diva since he went to GB? I know he was something of a malcontent in Oakland. I haven't anything about Woodson other than all that money he donated last year to that Children's hospital.

I dont follow BB but I think i know is it is easy to bring up all the players you liked that you wanted the cowboys to sign or draft. Sure i wanted dallas to draft Chris Johnson. Its easy to say that now that he is a superstar. But i will not mention the 10 other bums i also wanted them to draft that are not even in the league any more.

I also wanted them to draft Drew Brees back in the day...... You see how easy that is and how smart and insightful i must be.

Every one of us could do what BB says he did. Its easy to mention could have's and use 20/20 hindsight. But point out the balance of misses at the same time otherwise you just come across as a know it all blow hard.

 

[burmafrd]

yeah BB does not admit his mistakes does he?

He is not a Diva at all in Green bay. The fans here love him. Overate him though.

He doesnt lock anyone down, he sometimes covers the best wr sometimes the worse. Sometimes he plays FS. He makes plays though.

 

[burmafrd]

makes plays yes. Greatest D player of our time- NOT EVEN CLOSE.
