OU pride!

 

[DoctorChicken]

Well deserved

 

[Thomas82]

He's also has a 96 overall rating on Madden, which makes him 3rd at receiver behind Tyreek Hill (99) and Justin Jefferson (98).

 

[shabazz]

I think he's got a future in this league

 

[blueblood70]

could they not have released this until after the negotiations lol and no PU Hookem!!

It's crazy to think the Cowboys have 3 top 20 players all at premium positions. Then several more in the top 100.

That's unbelieveable and no excuses to not go further in the playoffs. Definitely have the talent, even if there's a couple spots we can improve in.

Lamb has done nothing but improve each year he’s been in the league. He’s earned the contract.

Maybe you need to take a closer look at what it is that you have. Maybe the entire team is structure in such a way that those 3 players can be highlighted during the regular season and make them looks like superstars. Maybe that very same structure is what falls apart during the playoffs when you start facing quality teams that are built to win.

Maybe these guys are just the Carmelo Anthony, Paul George and Gilbert Arenas of the NFL. Empty stat machines that have no interest in real winning football.

That and ultimately his style of play is conducive to longevity.

He's a pretty safe guy to pay. The only hang up is that star receivers don't tend to win super bowls

Well the problem is everyone else has talent too. Chiefs have 3 in the top 10. 49ers are stacked.

The Micah Parsons defense. The other team has better players. Boo hoo.

That’s not a “defense”…..that’s an explanation for why Cowboys can’t win. Everyone has talent. These are the best players in the world. You guys think because they wear a star they are the best. Takes more than talent to win.

Our top end star power is about as good as anyone's. (Parsons, Diggs, Lamb, Martin/Smith) .

Our problem is that our depth and role players aren't that strong, and the roster composition doesn't really follow the blueprint for post season success. (lack of investing in LB, DT being the main culprit).

And more than any other fanbase we will overrate those role players because the media helps fuel the fire

I get the defensive tackle thing,

but linebacker are you serious ?? you're saying we're not investing at all??

look it happens sometimes,

jalen Smith, Sean Lee, and LVE all injuries took that out of the equation sent them reeling, they invested, it didn't work out...They have Clark maybe used out of position..still hope for him,,technically Parsons was drafted as a LB, turned out better OLB/DE pass rusher but he was a LB!

now they're just drafted another kid in Liafu?sp? , maybe he'll workout. they're investing in te meantime they brought in Harvey, brought back Wilson, FA in Kendricks that not nothing.Overshown more bad luck..

this is what teams go through at different positions,

you think every team in this league has it all down to a science where they have 2-3 Deep in stars at every position??

some of you have no perspective on how it is to build a 60 man roster when you are top heavy with the salary cap with your stars nobody is that deep at every position...

look at what Philadelphia went through on defense last year Howie Roseman supposed to be God around here, with all the green drilling out around your lips, they went on a losing streak last year and couldn't figure out how to replace their coaches or most of their defense.IE no depth and misses on talent acquisition, I mean are you paying attention?

I mean people can't find quarterbacks or they can't find a running back or they can't find a center and offensive lineman etc etc there are places on every team that holes in it ,

I mean you all think Jerry Jones building a top six team is something that's easy to do and I realize it's regular season but I don't think any team is prepared 100% and it gets proven, I mean even look at what happened with the with the 49ers at quarterback with all the injuries you can't plan for everything and you can't be deep in every position....

And it's not for lack of trying, they may not be going after free agents,

I get that but in the draft they drafted several defensive tackles and several linebackers over the last decade, and it just didn't work out... But they've been either lucky or good who cares but they got two back-to-back generational quarterbacks and I just mean more like franchise for the team, where other teams have been doing that for decades and can't find one and you're worried about linebacker?? there are teams with great linebackers that don't get anywhere because they don't have pieces where it really counts, is offensive line, quarterback, and ,corner and pass rusher... aren't those the four corners of a team that literally where you start having the biggest paychecks hand it out and we've done that and forever we've had problems with safety and we finally have come around and have a pretty good group there???

so yes,

there's some holes just like all other teams somewhere on their team they're lacking you have to try to get over that you have to try to be better in big moments and I don't think it has anything to do with the building of this team because other teams have tried it....

They go all in and they couldn't be a team in Kansas City who's really the last three or Four Seasons have been down grading going running back by committee wide receiver by committee using the draft and free agency much like we do but they ended up with a transcendent quarterback and coach that knew how to utilize his talents but they are not out there in free agency gambling and going all in and yet they're the ones beating Philadelphia and San Francisco doing less...​

​

Most of the teams if you go look in our own divsion, who has spent the most money and been the most aggressive we're actually Washington in New York and they have ending up in last place.... Throwing money in free agency isn't always going to equate into more success for deep playoff runs... I get what everyone is saying, I wish they would try a little harder, but it's not like we haven't sold a lot a positions where we have high end talent where other teams do not...​

Takes more than talent to win.

Kind of exactly what myself and people like me have been saying. Micah has god tier talent. No one in their right mind would argue that. As you so eloquently stated it takes more.

I don’t even know if I’d say depth….the lack of depth is at positions we don’t even have starters at. The trenches matter. Run game matters. Stopping the run matters.

Get outta here with the Diggs and Martin hype you are living in a world that has already passed by and / or never existing in the first place.

Well the problem is everyone else has talent too. Chiefs have 3 in the top 10. 49ers are stacked.

Right stack but still the 49ers if you wanna really split hairs haven't won a Super Bowl since 1994, some of it is luck some of the things that the chiefs have done have worked out and really the last three years they've not acquired much talent at all tell me all the big free agents they sign that wasn't their own all the big draft picks I mean they're using a seventh round running back they were using a wide receiver by committee with a bunch of what we call retreads around here players who were relatively washed up considered #2 wide receivers and they're still winning Super Bowls because they have got lucky with Patrick mahomes paired with the perfect coach for him and unlucky you look at the 49ers you know losing to the Eagles because of the attrition at quarterback that's just bad luck but at the same time the flip side of the coin is the Eagles only went to the Super bowl because of luck and they won a Super Bowl because they got lucky enough that their backup quarterback somehow was able to keep the train going where most would have just collapsed that is luck...

There's a lot of timing and luck and have a hit on certain players and just get on this little role and you don't have to be the best team in the NFL during the regular season we saw that with the giants twice this is about somehow it just catches fire at the right time and I'm still saying that this will eventually happen I mean the chiefs it took them 52 years to win another Super Bowl and everyone whines about the little 28 years here and we're waiting on number six... I mean how long has it been since the lions have done anything and they finally have one good year now everyone's projecting them to be some super team about the build a dynasty that's a bunch of nonsense they could end up having a bad year this year all it takes is a little luck going the wrong direction with injuries or play you're not working out that well having a sophomore slump...

 

[MyFairLady]

Every year the 49ers beat our ***** when it matters. Against Green bay the team didn't even show up. You can keep crossing your fingers if you want calling it back luck and hoping for the best. I for one plan to be a spot lights that shines on the deepest darkest issues that this team loves to try to hide.
