No, Never
Eddie said:We'll see. We haven't played a single game yet. Don't call this off season overhaul a success yet. I like the young players, but am questionable about Rivera and Fergie. Neither have done squat for hte $20 mil we threw at them.
Henry seems to have really settled the 2ndary, but let's wait and see.
Price hasn't played a down for us yet.
Bledsoe doesn't look too smooth and hasn't really shown much difference between him and undrafted Tony Romo.
I haven't mocked them for overhauling. I have mocked them for trading away draft picks and over paying for the players they overhaul with.TruBlueCowboy said:For years, we as Cowboys fans mocked the Commanders for overhauling their roster every year. They would go crazy in free agency, handing out signing bonuses to young and old alike, they would go deal crazy in the draft, and they would trade whenever they could.
Don't lie, you know as a Cowboys fan, you made fun of the Skins at least once for treating their roster like a fantasy football team. So my questions is do we owe them an apology because aren't the Cowboys depending on the exact same thing?
Jerry went crazy in free agency even giving out large signing bonuses to questionable older players such as Rivera, or corners like Henry who some folks didn't even think was one of the top three talents at the position. We forked out money for a Peerless Price revival, a Drew Bledsoe revival, and two draft picks for a linebacker on one of the league's worst defenses. You have to admit, Jerry Jones looked an awful lot like Dan Snyder this year. I think someone could easily point to our team as making some of the same questionable moves.
So do we owe them an apology? Nahhhhhhh...... : I don't know what is (probably a bad case of being a Cowboys homer), but these offseason moves just feel different than your typical Dan Snyder offseason. Bill Parcells seems to be looking for specific types of players, not just anyone who put up big numbers. I think Dan Snyder would have gone for the more flashy Smari Rolle, but Parcells was looking for a physical corner and chased Henry. He wanted the leadership from Rivera, not the youth from Wahle. And so on. Not to mention, the only contract that really threatens to hurt us is Rivera.
I don't see any true comparison. We are no where near salary cap purgatory. The Foreskins will not be able to say that for sometime. If Brunell or Portis goes down with a career ender....they are way up sheot creek.TruBlueCowboy said:For years, we as Cowboys fans mocked the Commanders for overhauling their roster every year.

Scotman said:Actually, I'm very sorry.
Sorry we only play them twice a year that is.
