I don't understand the premise of that article. It doesn't make any solid points on why he won't be playing for the Cowboys. Then I gave up reading it when they talked about trading him.

The article was nothing more than a waste of time to read. BTB needs to do better than that.

Its classic Tom Ryle. Him, Dawn and all the posters they recently promoted are horrible. There are several posters here like Fuzzy and xwalker whom I would rather see as front page

That article was just off-season nonsense. It's been a great 7 days for the Cowboys organization and people are ready to jump ahead, because we all know that all the rookies that were drafted/signed/etc will be All-Pros immediately and will remain healthy throughout an entire NFL season and we should be start trading/cutting any player that might be standing in their way. That article makes as much sense as some of the fickle fan posts, ready to discard an old toy for a new one.

I'm just as excited about the potential on this team, but right now, it's just that, potential. These rooks haven't even practiced in pads, much less played a game, so people need to put down the anointing oil and take a couple steps back

Lol I wouldn't even call Hardy an old toy. It's like throwing a new toy away after you open it, but haven't played with it yet.

According to Stephen Jones, they anticipated a lengthy suspension when they signed Hardy. He'll play the preseason games for sure. The article is just dumb.

Everyone's favorite player who hasn't gotten a chance, Ben Gardner, is ready to take his shot. Jack Crawford was off to a good start last season before he was injured. The team also has Kenneth Boatright, Lavar Edwards, and fifth round pick Ryan Russell that might be part of the mix. If Dallas can find five good pass rushers from that group, then why would they need to pay the high price per game for Hardy?

This guy makes some good points. When a team's roster is loaded with all these quality options, you have to wonder how much more talent is useful.

Good article, but I preferred his "If the Cowboys knew they were going to be able to select David Arkin and Bill Nagy, would they still have drafted Tyron Smith?" masterpiece from a few years ago.

well done

this is the type of article that almost makes me wish my mother had not read to me as a child, somewhat FORCING me to learn how to read....what's next? We kept Vaughn on the 53-man roster in 2014 KNOWING that we can cut tony and save cap this year or next?

This is the type article you get when a writer is pressed for a unique angle and has a deadline approaching.

Another rule of journalism: never raise a question or present ideas in an article that you don't answer. ... So if the Cowboys won't need Hardy after he serves a 10-game suspension and other teams shied away from him in the free agent market because of his situation, why would a team trade for him? And why would they trade for him when he only signed a one-year contract with the Cowboys? Why not wait until the end of the 2015 season to acquire him?

And is the season over after 10 games? You mean we won't need the depth Hardy provides, not to mention his fresher legs, for the stretch run?

Hardy is a proven pass rusher. You just don't get ride of those guys in mid season of you're looking to make the playoffs.

Too many holes and unanswered questions in the story.

Yea that's a problem no one ever had too many pass rushers. We really don't know if any of these guys will work out. It looks good, but it's May.

Everything on that site is unbearably pretentious nonsense.

I dont understand why we dont just cut him and Lawrence now.

I mean come one man, haven't you seen Ben Gardner. The guy is basically the Dan Brown novel of defensive lineman. Intriguing intrigue

btb literally has the biggest homers I have ever seen.
I typically wouldn't mind it because it would there is a balance with pesimists. But whether you are a homerific optimist or a can do no right pessimistic, you need to present a valid argument or reason why to be optimistic about a player. Not just are practice squad level guys are amazaballs just because go cowboys
