This list is fairly irrelevant, IMO. It's just a way to promote personal agenda's and kick up the dandruff of teams not liked for personal reasons.

I see you forgot to mention Wilcox or Claiborne so your 40% is pure BS.

I love this addition by subtraction BS.

That's right the new young guys will be better than Carr (after all our second round pick had a total of 3 interceptions for his whole career) and any Jag we throw out at RT will be better than Free.

It's a wonder we don't win the SB every year! :rolleyes:

Brown started more games than Claiborne. Wilcox didn't start.

Collins isn't a Jag, soyeah, i expect improvement at RT.

We don't win the SB because we don't have playmakers on defense and our coaches are mediocre.

Based on this past offseason.

Eagles #5. Giants #7. Cowboys #11.

Now moving beyond the silliness of the Eagles at #5, who can point out the absurdity in his Cowboys commentary?

lol, sorry, but the "absurdity" starts and stops with one of the most dysfunctional FO's in the NFL being #5.......BTW, just for clarification....the eagles FO being Lurie and Roseman is the same FO that hired and hyped up Chip Kelly and the numerous "dream teams" correct?

They lost me at #2. One good draft does not make a front office and they still are weak at the most important position in football. Cleveland at #4!?! Until the draft capitol translates to wins and losses, they are crap. Didn't even get to the Eagles or Giants

The handling of Romo was typical Jones. Get the most free media for the situation. Pump it up!! It was more than obvious that Romo had to be released....there was no other financial option. Every GM in the league understood that, including the Cowboys. Jerry mocks the real and loyal fans,..its disgusting. Holding out hope and BS where it doesn't exist.

Not surprised the teams who spend the most in FA or has high picks/traded for higher picks got great grades!

Nothing new with cowboys hate

So what if Brown started more games than Claiborne, that was due to Claiborne getting injured (as usual) he still counts as a starter.

And who do you think started at SS when Church got injured???

Again show me film of Collins playing RT in the NFL???

Our coaches would prefer him to remain at LG but the current options at RT don't look so appealing.

We don't win SBs because the GM and his team so far have been unable to put together a team capable of doing so.

21 years and counting!

I listed the most common starting 5 in the secondary.

And yes, the GM hasn't built a defense capable of making plays in big games when it matters. So we let a bunch of those guys walk. Who knows if this new group will play better at big moments, but we know for sure the guys who left couldn't.

It's silly to believe there is any GMs who thought that Romo would not be released, whether Jerry said it or not. There was no way Dallas was keeping him as a backup. The only question for GMs is when would he be released and would they have to bid for his services? Those were the only reasons to trade for him, not anything to do with Jerry letting it be known that he was going to cut Romo.

Ultimately, Jerry holding on to him longer than expected proved to be the best move because Romo retired rather than being released and signing with another team. When Romo decided to retire that ended any reason to hold on to him to try to draw a trade.
This.

Nobody has yet to give us props for rejuvenating the way we operate and do business nowadays.

Everybody still has her hat hung on the old Jerry and give zero credit to Stephen,Will & Jerry for making us one of the best front offices in the league.

Serious question… Who's drafted better than us since 2010? I think 8 out of our last 10 first round picks have been pro bowlers and four of them have been all pros, if I'm not mistaken. One of the two that didn't make the Pro bowl was Byron Jones (Morris Claiborne) which I'm sure he'll eventually make.

P.s I didn't read the article so…

The four primary starting players in the secondary were Carr, Claiborne, Church and Jones.

We lost the first three and that’s 75% not 40%.

And it’s not just the defence, it’s the entire team that hasn’t been up to scratch.

I agree with this, although I don't think Jerry wanted Romo in another uniform from the get go.

To me, either Jerry was a mastermind by getting Romo to retirement or an idiot for not getting something for him.

Up to us to pick which side is true.

LOL.....I like that angle. But here is another one as well. Jerry put the finishing touches on completely killing Romo's career by forcing him into retirement. By his horrid GM decision in Romo's career he ruined what would otherwise have been a HOF career for a good team and also ruined any shot he had to possible win a SB by forcing him into retirement and making sure he didnt go anywhere that he actually might have a good shot. A la Demarcus Ware style.

Well one thing is true, Romo won't be going into the HOF.

Bigger question to me is will Jerry put him in the Ring of Honor. Owns alot of Cowboy records, so I really don't see why he wouldn't be there but alot of people will say different.

Romo should be there. Ware? Im not sure I would put him up there. Ware had lots of sacks, but never was the leader or crunch time performer we needed.
