Of course you guys read what you want. I bash Jerry when it warrants it. Signing Thornton was a shrewd move by him. Wanting Manziel was a boneheaded thought by him. Drafting to load up the OL was smart by him. Passing on Murray and a big contract was a very wise move by him. Changing their outlook on TBs was a mistake by him IMO. If Garrett can't get this team back into the playoffs and a serious NFC contender this year, I think it would be a mistake to continue with Garrett.

I am sorry I don't look through everything with silver and blue glasses. 20+ years without even a NFC Title game appearance. Jerry deserves a lot of blame for that because he's been the GM throughout that stretch. So yeah, I think it's quite possible he panicked a bit thinking someone would swoop in at 5 and take Elliott and now when it appears that wouldn't have been the case, he spins it his way. He's certainly tried to spin things in the past.
Evening walks are great stress relievers.

That's the comparison the "experts" have made.

Tremendously fast and unbelievable in coverage.

I was referring to you arguing with me in the trade Leary thread asking why I would give up Leary and swap picks with Cleveland and throw in a fourth. Then you posted the same idea in this thread.

If Jack really is okay, I'd easily, easily swap picks with the Browns and give them Leary.

That you bash Jerry every chance you can get.

Actually, that would be me.

It can be a full time job. Jerry provides a very "target rich" environment.

No doubt the Cowboys lost considerable value with the selection. Love the player, hate the draft position. Might as well have had the 6th or 7th pick.

You start playing with fire if you trade down thinking your guy will be there. You trade down if you have a group of players you think will be there for you. But, just from reading the various reports, sounded like it was Elliot, or Ramsey, or bust.

No I didn't.

La'el Collins tears his ACL. Now what?

Then we still have a beast o-line with Tyron, Martin, Fred, Free and hopefully Green. Plug in whoever to play LG with those guys.

And enjoy watching a top 3-5 player in this draft dominate on the other side of the ball.

Or maybe Collins doesn't tear his ACL and Sean Lee does... now what?
