Dead weight and regrets

[XXLMike]

Sorry if I stirred some feelings about your Ex’s in Texas - but let’s take a look…

Regrets -

Letting Dalton Schultz leave - he was a great cowboy. He got into the end zone damn good football player better than anything we have.

Paying Jake Ferguson - absolute regret. he hasn’t scored a touchdown in two years.

Paying Trevon Diggs - it is better to let a player go a year early than being stuck with him when he’s washed up and make no mistake - this guy couldn’t cover your Aunt Sally.

Paying Daron Bland - the money this guy received is absolutely ridiculous. He got paid because we are so bereft of talent in the secondary not because he is an elite player. He is a very good player who is also injury prone.

Letting Chauncey Gholston - a very good cowboy, who played hard and provided great depths. It also sends a bad message to the league when you let players like this walk. One of the few we’ve actually developed..

Caving to Prescott’s ridiculous contract demands and yes, he’s been very good. Let’s not shade him completely.- but if he wants to win a Super Bowl, he should’ve realized he needed to come in with a contract that was team friendly. Instead, he held our hands to the fire.
In the end, it cost us Parsons indirectly.

Putting any sort of faith in Overshown - yes I love him. I respect him. I hope he gets well, but this guy is made of papier-mâché. He was often injured in college. It was ridiculous to believe he was not gonna be hurt in the pros. We continue to make this mistake decade after decade Jerry’s fascination with draft day. Droppers has come back to bite him numerous times / too many to name but you know who they are.

Will McClay - this guy is nothing more than an average talent evaluator in the NFL. Yet Jerry holds onto him as if he has found some sort of guru - he’s done a horrendous job finding us linebackers finding us defensive backs finding us defensive tackles, finding us any sort of game changer.

Passing on Cam Skattebo - this dude lit up Texas stadium right in front of Jerry Jones and Will McClay and the whole clan of Jerry back patters - and yet not even a sniff about the dude. He was the exact guy I needed on this football team, a hard runner, a fan favorite, and a winner.
Bad

Not trading for Jalen Ramsey when he was right there for us.

Not signing Derrick Henry when he was waiting for us.

Not pursuing Sean Payton, a guy who wanted to coach the Cowboys.

Wasting two pics in the draft on running backs who aren’t even on the football team on Sundays.

Drafting Schoonmaker, what exactly does he do?

Drafting and paying Hunter Luekpe - what exactly does he do?

Wasting a pic on Shemar James ( another Will McClay job)

Dead Weight

I have never seen a worse lineman in Dallas that continues to just play week after week year after year than Steele . He is a god-awful football player.

Donovan, Wilson

Joe Milton is not a professional football player.

Schoonmaker

Spann

Kenneth Murray

Jack CFL Sanborn

Jalen Tolbert - a Will McClay special by the way.

Miles Sanders

Kair 17 yard Cushion Elam

Matt Eberflus

Dante Fowler ( this guy is completely washed)

Jonathan Mingo

Ryan Flournoy ( give me a break with this guy)

Damon Clark ( another McClay special)

You could get rid of every one of those guys and absolutely nobody would miss them.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

I give credit for taking the time to type all of that out.

With that said.

Jerry and Stephen drafting on their own.
Vs Will McClay having a decent say.

When this team goes cheap on FAs.

Yeah, I know it is a popular thing to rail on Will like he is the problem.
He is not the problem

The one consistent through all the players, coaches and systems is...The Jones.

I can only imagine what they would be doing without McClay. We might be back to the special teams kind of drafts.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Speaking of Chauncey Golston, where was he yesterday?

I literally forgot he was a Giant until I saw this thread.

I understand what you’re saying completely and I agree with you. I’m still just un impressed with his résumé of pics because I look at that defensive line depth and I look at that line back in court. My God is that bad am I wrong? I mean they’re always tackling from behind after the back is through 6-7 yards.
I’m really not sure any of those guys who are our linebackers would start for another franchise.
And the secondary Ooof

But you are right if it was Jerry and his son picking lol who knows what it would look like.

 

[Mr_437]

Some funny stuff, some truth, some I disagree, but the effort and entertainment factor is high level. Salute.

Trance was a huge regret. Highest paid QB3 in the history of the NFL and a wasted pick that should have been our current starting RB.


I have zero regrets paying Ferguson. I have regrets making him help block DE's on 80% of our pass plays.

Bland is legit. Football is a contact sport.

Luepke is good, we just are not using him correctly.

They, and I do not know if Will is a part of it or not.

However they have said many times that they do not value the 1 tech run stuffing DT. They say if they can get a run stuffer in the first they want him to also be able to get to the QB.

I never seen any pass rush ability from Mazi...however I am also shocked at just how bad he is vs the run. Taking away his size and strength was the stupidest thing they could have done.

The last two times they took a DT with their first pick of the draft...Mazi and Trysten Hill...yes he was a second round but that was our first pick in that draft.

If they could get the same quality of DTs as they seem to be able to get at Olinemen this would be a different team.

Until this trade for Clark....this is the first time they have seen to value a DT who can make a difference in the run game.

I agree with 99% of what you said. Have to disagree on Scattebo. The guy ran for 44 yds. He had 24 on 1 carry. If that's lighting up the Stadium, our guy must have lit up Texas. Yeah Scattebo is pretty tough but slower than molasses. He's not going to last long in the league. Too reckless. I give him his rookie contract. He'll be out of the league.

Just tell them to go to a British pub and put a quarter down at the dart board...and playing billiards sort of good.

 

[CCBoy]

I'm down to they're trying to use a quarter and flipping it to see what they believe on thread.

 

[McKDaddy]

Coulda signed Baker.

 

[RS12]

Quite a bit I agree with there. A lot of I'll conceived decisions on who they handed out contracts to. Even though Cee Dee has had issues, his and Tyler Smith I agree with. Other than that I could take issue with just about any of em. Not only are the Jones poor talent evaluators, they are even worse at who to pay.

A few of those players you mentioned were special teams drafts. Schoonmaker, James...anyone remember Devin Harper?

You’re one negative individual.

 

[Rayman70]

All 32 teams make regretted decisions. It's just the odds. The human element. No sense in revisiting it because you can only move forward in the here in now, with what IS.

Trysten Hill ! Omg I had all forgotten about him.

You know, I still would not be surprised if they cut Clark and his big payday next year.
He’s doing a big chunk of change and I don’t see Jerry paying him.

 

[XXLMike]

That's where I stopped reading. LMAO

Do tell where you think we are better at tight end today I’ll wait.

Not really I’m still hoping we can make the playoffs. I might be delusional as well..

No, I was referring to his game in college, which is one of the greatest games I’ve seen played by a running back.
