Funny how the homers once again want to tell anyone thinking differently who is a fan and who is not. That's the only thing you guys have left. Being presumptuous.
The Cowboys have been my favorite team ever since I layed my eyes on football the first time. Yet I think they stink in their current form. 12 win seasons my arse. They suck when it counts and that's even worse because those winning regular seasons keep them from instigating real change. I totally despise the 49ers ever since the 90s but I like what they're doing at the moment. Or I respect how a guy like Mahomes really does make a difference while our guy is a bus driver at best.
At the same time I totally respect all of these guys who have made it as a starter in the NFL for being true winners already because they have fought against the odds their whole lives and finally made it to live their dreams. And I respect every player for that including Dak of course. Like him as a human being too. Doesn't mean I can't wish for someone else under center after 8 years of going nowhere.
And I couldn't care less about what the blind homers here would call me because of all that. I will always bleed blue yet at the same time can acknowledge that Jerry was just good at buying Superbowls when that was still possible and is totally worthless in an NFL regulated by a salary cap.
Even as a critic of the current state of this organization and some of its personnel one can enjoy individual wins or give credit to Dak or Jerry or anyone else for individual plays / moves / actions. But the end they're all playing against those last 27 years and I won't let get them away with it, whether they even care about what I say or who I am or not. That's being a fan as far as I am concerned. As grown ups we don't have to lose our sleep over it anymore but talking about it here on the forums is some great fun. I thank God this place exists because I enjoy it so very much.
Loving the colours, loving the history, wanting them to win every single time and holding them accountable for all these playoff misfires at the same time. Hoping that will change every single year.
Go Cowboys!
