Could The Pacman Cometh to Dallas?

[DR.WARE]

heres a question why did we draft carpenter over antonio cromartie just imagine if we had him last year

 

[sonnyboy]

Curious......why would you put Owens in the same category as Pac Man and Tank?

Nice catch.
Owens doesn't belong.
Not sure he's gotten a speeding ticket during his NFL career.

Its just a particular mindset prevelant amongst a percentage of every teams fan base that frowns on acquisitions that involve any "risk".

Its this "risk averse" group's opinion that you cant lose big if you dont take risk.
They want everything safe and predictable.

Not sure if they actually believe you can field a team talented enough to win the SB with all boyscouts OR they dont care enough about winning to deal with players on thier team they dont like personally.

All I KNOW IS EVERYTIME AN OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE THE TEAM WITH A "RISKY" PLAYER COMES UP, THEY OPT OUT!

Or Moss instead of Ellis blah blah blah.

Or every other team besides NE passing on Tom Brady blah blah blah.

 

[fortdick]

i want him bad

That is wrong on so many levels!

I'm sure there are a few strip clubs in the Dallas metroplex in desperate need of the attention a shooting brings. That kind of promotion is like GOLD, Jerry. Gold!

Curious......where did you stand on the Owens and T Johnson acquistions?

Owens is not a thug just a :mule:

As for Tank I was against it

LMAO!!!! Excellent!

And as some others mentioned you can not even remotely place T.O. into the same catagory of a Tank and certainly not a Pacman. T.O. hasn't ever been in trouble for illegal activities.

Tank, also, deserves more credit cause he has shown, thus far, the ability to change his ways and not continue to get himself into trouble. Adam "I'm Too Stupid To Learn Anything" Jones has shown quite the opposite. Instead of doing whats good for his future, and avoiding situations that get him into trouble, he continues to screw around and get in more trouble.

Pass on Pacman every single day of the week and twice on Sundays.

:bang2:

I wouldn't touch Pacman.

Me neither...you don't win with guys like that, and we can find CB's.

 

[Cowboys2008]

Sounds intriguing. I wont' discriminate against him. Let's see what the guy still has.

With all your wants, I guess to you, the cap doesn't exist. This isn't Madden and we can't sign every top players and give up entire draft for one prospect.

Why not have him sit down with our personnel department - specifically C. Hill - and see if they can get a good read on the kid. If they feel they may be able to provide him some guidance then give him an incentive laden contract and go with it.

If he doesn't work out then we can move on. If he does, then we will have a top five CB for little to nothing - I can't imagine the Titans are going to ask for, or receive much for him. Has anyone heard?

I still hope that we draft a young corner with our 22nd pick in the 1st round. I hope that Rogers-Cromartie is still there - he may turn out to be special.

Regardless of what is said here - he is a tremendous talent.

I'm bumping this post out of mothballs because I feel that it is a compelling read in which the author makes some great points. And I feel it's worthy of further discussion.

I think it's certainly something the organization should look into.

And one point the author doesn't make is the dollars/sense aspect of taking a chance on the guy.

Look at the amount of money being spent in free agency - the numbers are staggering.

Those numbers are particulary large with regard to cornerbacks. Teams have little problem paying out in excess of $9 million for a good one.

A guy with Jones' baggage could be had at a drastically reduced rate.

Balancing out the PR backlash and the upside of getting a quality cornerback/punt returner at a significant discount, I think it's a risk worth taking.

I personally wish you had left it on the scrap heap.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Agreed. This topic has no more merit, or worth, today than it did a week ago.

 

[Stash]

Sorry to offend guys. I felt it was an interesting topic worthy of further discussion - especially since not much else is going on.

But if not, we'll leave it fall off again.

 

[superpunk]

Championship.

i'd fling all 4 of those damn ghosts on his arse.

we DO NOT NEED TWO players who at any given misstep (of which they've taken far too often to put them in this position now) who on next infraction are gone for 6+ games to a year.

could you imagine a sunday where roy horsecollars and pacman whacks out and suddenly 2 starters in our secondary are gone?

if we don't want to be in a bad position don't make it possible.

 

[TNCowboy]

Didn't Newman return a punt for a TD a few years ago?

 

[zeromaster]

LOL at the end-justifies-the-means argument (again)

I'm glad you brought this up i didn't get a chance to read this the first time and being able to read it this time around was cool because this is defintley interesting. I wouldn't be against bringing pacman in we can still get a strong CB in the draft and have 4 strong CB's in TNEwman PAcaman Henry and developing rookie. I think he needs to be reinstated.
