Dane top 50 prospect

Interesting response ........... you've been screaming for Jerry to address the DT position with some real talent for years, at least 5/6 that I can recall. After signing Osa, trading for Clark and Quinnen Williams, DT is now our strongest defensive position....easily. I agree he screwed up the whole Parsons contract negotiation and trade but the funny thing is the unintended consequences may turn out better for the team long-term by luck (lol).

That's my sole point. Assuming Pickens, who is a FA, will be back next year ignores the fact that Jerry has mucked up contract negotiations before so assuming anything with Pickens is folly at this point.

Oh I agree, just I was responding to the poster's criticism of Jerry and the trade, which is on point 80/90% of the time but this time, it's a bit odd. He's been critical of Jerry overlooking the DT position almost every offseason for as long as I can remember, but it is now our strongest position on the team, except WR, maybe coz of Micah trade. His response was a little odd but maybe I am misunderstanding what he meant.

As for myself, I will admit, I never wanted the trade ( build around his talent ) but IMO it's hard NOT to see the value. You can literally end up with 4-6 additional high-level players via trade, draft, draft trade-down, and free agency if you play your cards right.

That's not what I said at all. I never even brought up DT in this thread.

All I said was rambo assuming that Pickens would "not go anywhere" was silly. How can we assume that when we just saw Jerry muck up Parsons when everyone just assumed a year ago he'd eventually get signed and still be here?

In fact, I bet if we could search histories, we'd find rambo saying Parsons was going nowhere too.

Jerry botched the Parsons situation. He just did. After mucking up negotiations (and make no mistake, Jerry wanted him back), he was basically forced to trade him and get something for him.

It's is downright bizarre that you guys struggle to criticize Jerry.

Parsons botched the Parsons situation. Forced to end up with our best dtackles in decades.

Getting Pickens on the tag isn't a bad thing.

Getting Pickens on the tag isn't a bad thing.

Who said it was but you are making the assumption we'd even do that. Again the point here is assuming Jerry makes the prudent move is folly because he often mucks things up. You just assume Pickens will be back. You shouldn't be confident in that assumption because of Jerry. Shoot, I bet we can find posts from you last year saying the same thing about Parsons if anyone suggested he wouldn't be back.

Your faith in Jerry Jones is weird.

I'm confident that Pickens will be back.
