There are a lot of very good posters on the CZ. I was wondering, what kind of resumes we had around here. Me, I'm pretty savvy in HS ball in Texas, since I've been involved in it since 1975. When it comes to the NFL, I'm just a fan. Some of you guys seem pretty knowledgeable and some seem to be full of BS. Lol, at the end of the day it's all pretty amusing.​

Does posting on a Cowboys message board count? :)

I played baseball growing up, not football.

So, does posting on the Zone count? :muttley:

Resume? For what? Like playing high school football 30 plus years ago makes you a more knowledgeable fan now or something? Maybe I just don't get what you are getting at. We have current NFL head coaches that many of us consider fireable as we speak right now while there are some fans on this very forum that have never played ball but would do a better job. I played football from pop warner to high school but that's not why I know a single thing about NFL football. My "resume" is I've been a die hard Cowboys fan since they beat Miami in the SB and haven't missed a single game unless I was serving my country and had no other option.

I see you completely misunderstood my post. I was just wondering about other posters knowledge, I never said that I knew more than anyone else. I even said that as far as NFL goes, I'm just a fan. I will, however, give you a like for serving our country.

I think every coach in the NFL has forgotten more about football than most or all in this forum.

Imo, the very definition of not knowing much is to actually not realize how little we know vs an NFL coach....and even think we know more than them overall.

Question calls...and even be correct about it sometimes?
Sure. Absolutely.
But know more about coaching the game? Highly doubtful.
But as fans, we ARE allowed to think that:flagwave:

I disagree just a bit. Barry Switzer was sadly unqualified to ever be an NFL coach. Even Dave Campo was a poor selection to ever Head Coach the Dallas Cowboys. Give me @jday or @Sarge any day over knuckleheads like that to be HC. We have posters here that are amazingly knowledgeable of the NFL game.

But as you say... even if I'm wrong, as a fan I'm allowed to think like that... :thumbup:

My football resume pretty much ended when I was darned near knocked out by a kid that was our age{I think} but was much larger than everyone else, he had at least 50-70 lbs on most of the other guys. Was pretty good at basketball and decent at baseball and have always been a decent athlete otherwise. Years later I got into a an adult flag football league that included some former Sooners including Charles Thompson, Jamelle Holloway and Kelly Greg{who was extremely quick for a 300lber}. Also Wes Welker came out and played in a few games who was a really cool guy and quick as a cat, saw Welker return a punt 80 yards and not one person laid a finger on him:laugh:

My football resume consists on one year(more like two weeks) on the JV team, aside from the peewee stuff. Back in High School, I was ranked in the top 20 baseball players in the state of Texas.

My coach told me I had to play another sport for some reason and shoved me into football. Well, all those coaches told me to do was go run routes over the middle and catch footballs. It became very clear I was a tackling dummy for the secondary to practice on.

After a couple of weeks, my baseball coach saw this and pulled me out ASAP and I found myself on the track team the next day. It is pretty funny since I could not do any of that running stuff so I just loitered around the track for a year doing absolutely nothing to help the team :laugh:

In closing, I do not know much about playing organized football but have studied the X's and the O's over the years to know it very well :thumbup:

As for baseball on any level, I know it better than most :cool:
