great point. I agree. I also LOVE the wr Peoples-Jones...out of Michigan. I think he is special and would push Amari Cooper actually. The kid is that good. I know this isn't a draft forum or topic...but sice we are talkin wr..go look at that kids tape. Its NFL pro ready now. MM is known for finding guys in the middle rounds that shine.

My man! Huge fan of DPJ!

This certainly doesn’t help, he just gained more leverage.
Not trying to be argumentative here but didn't he always leverage? What were the chances of Cowboys letting him walk after getting rid of a 1st rounder for him? If I had to take a guess he's gonna get a Michael Thomas deal and Dak gets franchised unfortunately.

So.... who needs Cooper now when we can just sign Josh Gordon? Nothing holding him back now!

it means will likely see a 7-9 team or even a 6-10 team, in the playoffs that should NEVER EVER BE.

I dont like the new rule either

But this definitely is not what it means

Somebody went back over the last 15-20 years and 0 6 win teams got in. I think 1 7 win team got in

I STUMBLED ONTO THIS GUYS TAPE LAST NIGHT. He is special. The feet,the hands, route running, awareness, body control...he's the complete package. I will be pissed if we don't draft a wr this year. Its so darn deep and talent laden. As good as Amari is, this kid may be better in the long run.

The NFL has been measurably watered down since the initial ratification of this particular collective bargaining agreement in 1993.

I got over my decade-long fear around 2005 and finally started accepting artificially enforced competitive leaguewide parity lol.

:(
It really don't matter what quality you are watching. What matters is what you are watching makes you happy. Dallas has not been good at it in a long time. The only knock on the "Crazy talented" 90's teams was the "Best team money could buy" labels, which was actually true. That's what lead jerry to say...."100 coaches could win with this team". While there is some merit to that statement. ( Barry Switzer) The A-hole fact is that he did , indeed have a "Great" coach too. Jerry had it all once.


My hope is that it don't take another 20 years to figure this thing out no matter what rules and talent Dallas has afford to them. Get it right son!!!

Almost half the teams make the play-offs...thats just stupid, they're watering down the product.
Not really there’s a lot of parody in the NFL and there isn’t a major difference between 1 seeds and 7 seeds. Any team can beat any team in this league on any given Sunday. This isn’t like the NBA.

Adding one more team in each conference does not mean you will see a 6 win team in the playoffs. This is a huge overreach. You may see the occasional 8-8 team get in, but 9 and sometimes 10 win teams miss out the playoffs under the old system.

I like only one team getting bye in each conference, every team fights till the last week more likely

I agree, and don't hate the new system. It creates more competition at the top for the #1 seed, keeps more teams in the running for post season play, and really if you go back and look who that next team in would have been the last couple years it more often than not would have been an entertaining game on paper.
