Hostile;3276990 said:How do you know I am going to disagree with everything you say unless you already know you're always wrong?
Agreeing with me will only make my case. LOL It's clear you don't want that to happen that's why you keep tap dancing and taking sides with everyone else like you who has no stance. :toast:
Hostile;3276990 said:After 2 years in the NFL you don't have the skins on the wall to say someone is a bust. Until you can show me some NFL credentials all you have is your opinion. I hate to break this to you Skippy, but that and a buck 25 will buy you a Coke.
I haven't been in the NFL for 2 years. LOL I've never been in the NFL period but I golf with alot of active players and have been watching the game long enough to know when a player isn't living up to their draft status. Let's see your NFL skins Lombardi throw out your name and allow me to google you. LOL Unless you've been a GM you don't know anymore than me. All you'll be providing is your opinion just like the talking heads do on ESPN and NFL Network. Do you agree with everything they say? They're giving their opinions and they're wrong alot of the time.
Hostile;3276990 said:The Dallas Cowboys Offense was more productive when Bennett was playing than when he wasn't.
That is a bust in your eyes? Then I say you need to open them.
The Cowboys sure looked pretty productive against the Saints with Bennett out and Phillips in. In my opinion we would do just fine trading Bennett and going with Phillips. So far Bennett has been a bust. He CLEARLY regressed from his rookie year in 08. In 08 he caught 20 passes for 283 yards and 4 TD's. He averaged 14.2 a catch and his longest play was 37 yards. In 09 he caught 15 passes for 159 yards and NO TD's. He averaged 10.6 a catch and his longest play was 21 yards. He was down in every category from his rookie year and he was suppose to be a big part of our two TE offense. Even Jerry Jones called him out. :toast:
Hostile;3276990 said:I know that Skippy. That is why I made the comment that using one round of those Drafts is pigeonholing an empty argument. It completely ignores previous decades under the same management and is reliant upon very faulty premises. You forget to mention that many of the players we drafted are still in the NFL with other teams. A convenient oversight that I think is intentional bitterness due to head impaction in hindquarters.
Just more tap dancing and diverting. :beatit: This discussion is about this "last" decade so stop trying to squirm around it. As for the other players we drafted that are still in the NFL with other teams they're with other teams because they didn't pan out for us. Most of them are just average players who are filling a role. You're making this WAY too easy for me. LOL You said I wasn't in your league you must have been referring to a powderpuff league? :laugh2:
Hostile;3276990 said:Here's a little test for you. Ron Francis, Darryl Clack, Jesse Penn, Malcolm Moore, Victor Scott, Mike Walter, Jeff Rohrer, and Doug Donley.
Does that open your eyes? Or are you too baffled to have any idea what I am talking about? I will guess the latter. Those are the 2nd round picks of Hall of Famers Tex Schramm and Tom Landry in the 1980s.
Boy you're really tap dancing now MC. :mchammer: I have you so rattled you've gotten completely off the topic. LOL You're doing EXACTLY what I predicted TAP DANCING! The more you respond the more you keep proving me right. This is has become so easy you're starting to bore me and you think you got game?
Hostile;3276990 said:Now before you try and spin control that I am dissing Landry and Schramm, just stop. I can show you great draft choices throughout the decade of the 80's just like I can the previous decade.
Keep dancing! LOL :dance3:
Hostile;3276990 said:No, I totally reject your definition for the reason I stated above. I don't give two hoots in hell about one round of a Draft in a given decade. It doesn't prove one damned thing.
We're not talking about just ONE round in a given decade we're talking about 10 rounds this past decade. Stay on topic and stop dodging the questions.
Hostile;3276990 said:Did you know that the 2nd round is the round that most teams gamble? Of course you didn't. That is the round where teams will roll the dice on a guy who if he had stayed one more year in school might have been a 1st round talent. Not every gamble pays off. In the decade you are decrying as abject failure we have had several players who are pretty decent football players. It is ignorant to say that means failure.
Who's your source that says most teams gamble in the second round? I've been watching the draft ever since it hit ESPN and most teams start gambling after the first two rounds when the talent starts thinning out. The draft becomes more of a crapshoot after the second round. There's alot of solid talent in the second round so teams usually stick with their draft board and pick the best player available. Most teams feel they can come up with a "starter" with their first two picks. Players that come out early that teams feel have first round talent usually go in the late first round. LOL If a player is considered to have first round talent then how much of a gamble can it be to take them in the second round? And you claim to know football? LOL
Hostile;3276990 said:Agree.
You might want to change your calendar though. 2000 and 2001 were a long freaking time ago. Oh and so you know, the exclamation point at the end of all your sentences makes the whole point look juvenile.
You had no choice but to agree on that I cornered you. You're sitting here telling me how long ago 2000 and 2001 was but that didn't stop you from from bringing up our drafts from the Landry years. LOL So the exclamation points at the end of my sentences bother you? Too bad! : I have one guy pulling his hair out about all the emoticons I use and another one crying about all my exclamation points.
Hostile;3276990 said:I have a problem with you? When did that happen? I must have been asleep.
Then that explains why I'm having such an easy time in this debate. Better wake up sleepy head!
Hostile;3276990 said:I could be wrong but I think correcting you on who MB was is the first time I have ever conversed with you. Where I come from we call that an assist, not a problem with you.
Me thinks you need an assist on answering all the questions you've been tap dancing around. LOL
Hostile;3276990 said:Oh yeah, he schooled you badly. He provided input on every teams success or failure in the 2nd round in this decade using your criteria and he proved your analysis wrong. It is not my fault if you can't stand being contradicted. He took you out behind the woodshed. That's just the truth. He actually did research and you didn't. Therein lies the difference.
Yeah riiiight! LOL He took off because he didn't want to end up behind the woodshed like I have you right now. : Adam Ant didn't provide anything but claim 19 teams had worse second round drafts the past 10 years than the Cowboys. He listed a bunch of teams and claimed almost each teams entire 10 years of second round drafts were busts. You're going to take his word for that? He gave his OPINION and you can bet he never did a thorough evaluation of EACH player and how much their lack of development set their teams back. In his eyes just because Gurode panned out and had a couple of more pro bowls than another player that makes the other 8 players we drafted who didn't pan out look better. LOL Carter, Goodrich and Rogers alone buries that decade of second round picks. Even with one good score the Cowboys grade an F for their second round selections the past decade.
Hostile;3276990 said:Most here? Skippy, I don't see anyone agreeing with you or backing you up. I think you must be listening to voices in your head if you hear agreement.
Better read through the thread there were several who agreed that Bennett needs to mature. There's several here who don't like my negativity so they scream TROLL. Why should anyone back me and have several jumping on their back calling them a troll? LOL There's alot of lurkers out there who agree 100% with what I've said about Bennett he's IMMATURE but they don't want to get involved and have the homers jump on them. The two main arguments I've had in this thread have centered around questioning Martyb's lack of maturity and production on the field and how poorly the Cowboys have drafted this past decade in the second round. I'm still waiting for challengers to prove me wrong that Martyb isn't immature and that our second round draft picks this past decade haven't been bad. :tunes:
Hostile;3276990 said:Skippy, you're the one making an issue of it. The poster himself told he meant Bennett. Everyone got what he said except you. The rest of us have merely tried to explain it to you. You thought he meant Barber. You were wrong. Go ahead and say it. "I was wrong." It is crystal clear to everyone else.
You're the one who keeps bringing it up. LOL He said MB so that's his problem. It's not that hard to spell out Marty. I'm arguing with several people so I skim over the posts of those who aren't addressing me. MB is Marion Barber to me so better get over it Mr two step and slide! Oooops another exclamation point. LOL
Hostile;3276990 said:If you are honest and smart, you will realize that I not only exposed the theory presented as worthy of being in a horse pasture, but I also gave you two avenues to study that will also slam the door on your pathetic argument.
The only thing that's been exposed is your propensity to tap dance around questions when you've been cornered.
Hostile;3276990 said:I don't dance unless I enjoy the music Skippy.
Well you must be lovin the music because I have you doing the jitterbug Travolta.
Hostile;3276990 said:Please tell me you aren't capable of researching the effectiveness of the Offense when Bennett is on the field versus when he is not and you want to continue getting your butt handed to you by this old man. I warned you that I was out of your league. You should have listened. This ain't my first rodeo.
Had I known you were an old man I would have taken it easy on you gramps. LOL This explains why you're so slow. You must be saddle sore after this rodeo ride. Better dust your self off pardner this ain't my first rodeo either....YEEEEE HAWWW! LOL :whip:
