Get some freaking perspective

[jackrussell]

It's all rhetorical B.S.

Wouldn't rhetorical B.S. be considered redundant?

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Unfortunately, the fact of the matter is people know that tey will get a response with the negative drivel. That is how trolls like XDawg get all the mileage. These types seem to think if their moronic we suck thread goes to 7 pages that they did something and then call it a discussion.

Its the same reason why people saw the towers falling 80 times a day and the same reason why people want to see Steve Irwins death footage. Its also a primary reason why I hold the majority of humanity in contempt.

There is a big difference between being a constant complainer and being a realist. People who say Carpenter is a bust are complaining. Others who are concerned with the Olines inability to run block or with vandergajt's inability to make 24 yard field goals twice in a row are realists. The Cowboys Oline is very shaky right now. Juluis seems to be getting hit as soon as he gets the ball. Vanderjagt does not look good right now. Hopefully these problems are rectified quickly, but they could come back to haunt the Cowboys later in the year.

Right but as far as I'm concerned who cares whether they're being a realist or a complainer.

You make a good point though about the o-line. In fact maybe I'll go start a thread about that.. title it "Is the o-line o-k or not?".

Whats that? Oh theres already been 99 threads started on that issue? Alright. But none of em were started by *me* so whats wrong with making it an even 100??

You're getting worked up over nothing, don't you see this? This is a popular forum, so there will obviously be trolls and annoying individuals. A simple post from you won't do jack to stop this, in fact it may even provoke more stupid posts.

Like this one for example.

 

[LD Fan]

I'm sure you're lumping me into this ridiculous rant and am probably one of your main targets.

But let's be real, I NEVER stated that we were "doomed or vulnerable" because of anything.

The board is actually filled with complainers of YOUR mold who put words in the mouth (posts) of those whom they disagree with so you can ***** about it.

Why are you here if not for discussion and alternative opinions?

You mean like when you post things that say everyone else is thinking something that only you are thinking. Good point. Me thinks you protests too much.

 

[LD Fan]

This board would not be the best cowboys message board on the net if everybody thought the same. Or if everybody had the same knowledge level.

I love coming here and having discussions about ALL of OUR players. I like hearing new ideas and learning things I might not have known. Disagreeing with people and going back and forth is one of the main reasons I come back here everyday.

Without different perspectives, we'd all be zombies here. This board would dye slowly if we were all on the same page all the time. There is nothing wrong with worrying about any player on this roster, or wanting better. We are all HUGE DC Fans and that's why we are here. We all want OUR BOYS to do well. Some are more optimistic some more pessimistic. But we are all fans just the same. We are here to complain, cheer, and discuss Cowboys all the time.

Don't like it leave or don't read or respond to certain posts/posters.
Block users, whatever, just stop crying.

If I had to guess, this is exactly the type of post Cobra meant. You totally miss the point. Would larger type help? Written in crayon? I didn't read anything in the post that said disagreement is bad, in fact I think I read that disagreement is fun. Support your position with facts, be open to accepting a well supported argument and it's all good. Speaking only for myself, it's when you totally miss the point that it gets tedius. I don't gain anything from people who won't listen or consider a well argued point (mine or someone elses).

 

[Hostile]

I'm pissed.

I'm tired as hell of some of the posters on this board and their attitudes.

Every other thread is by someone who is "scared" or "worried" or someone who is "going to go ahead and say 'it'". It's all rhetorical B.S.

The season hasn't even started yet. And people are making posts about how they know we are doomed because they are worried about the vulnerability of our back-up equipment manager or some other nonsense. We have fans who grossly over-estimate their ability to evaluate football players and systems while, at the same time, drastically under-estimate the ability of the professionals who our team to see the same thing. We have fans who have determined for good a player's worth without even playing a down. We have fans who think players fall apart if they are over the age of 24. And the worst of all? The morons here who feel that our team is somehow deficient unless we are 3 deep of 21 year Pro Bowlers at every position.

Get some freaking perspective! Quit demanding absurd things from this team. Reserve your judgment instead of popping off about something that will only result in you having your foot in your mouth at a later date. Here is a free hint: if you think you have spotted something that is the Key To It All... something that is the easy solution or evaluation... and it isn't something that everyone else is saying, then you are probably wrong. And one more basic precept: not everyone shares your opinion so don't confuse "Me" with "everyone."

Now, don't confuse my point and think that I am saying I want nothing but homer posts by people saying how we are going to go 16-0. I don't want that garbage either.

It would be great, though, if as fans we could be mature enough and show enough football acumen to not be irrational morons about things.

Be reasonable. Be practical. Show some insight and quit being rhetorically asinine.

Thanks for letting me share.

Cobra, I just want to raise a lighter in the air.

Great post. Thank you.

Wow, it took almost till the first game before someone started whining about how to be a fan. This crap usually starts before the first preseason game. Thanks TO, at least you put this crap off for awhile.

 

[TRUTH87]

I agree with Cobra, its very frustrating when we have morons n stuff. he felt he needed to say this, and he did. So now all those who are bashing him for actually sayng wut he felt, should just back off and chill u know. Its a Forum afterall.

Peace.

Get some freaking perspective!

Yeah right, easy for you to say.

From where I'm sitting Parcells has "ruined" Julius, who has lost all his instinct and abiity to cut. Kosier is a journeyman scrub who couldn't fill a third of LA's shoes, MCQ is just another in a long line of Tuna wet dreams which will never reach climax, Rivera is a shell of what he was before he hit that treadmill last offseason, Gurode and Johnso combined barely make one decent center, Flo is both over-rated and malingering, and Colombo is not about to make any "miracle comeback"....not on THIS team, anyway. (But cut him and watch, he will... on his next team)

Crayton is alwys hurt and then takes months to get back up to 'speed", Glenn as usual is on borrowed time, anyone who thinks Rector or Hurd are going to look anything like what they did vs scrubs when they face Dawkins, Madison, or Springs is nuts, Barber is a passing down wonder, Thompson can't block worth squat, Owens is a ticking time bomb, Romo another "Mr August," and Bledsoe as mobile as a parking meter.

But never fear! Two te sets will make the difference!

Preseason game four was all I had to see to know this offense will suck once again. And don't even get me started on the over-rated defense, which has yet to prove anything. Suffice it to say that Ellis in coverage one time will blow his candy arse confidence to shreds again, Carpenter is slow, and steady, and five seconds late like clockwork, Ferguson "got paid" and that's all she wrote, and Brad Johnson made fools of both Henry and Newman, no blitz or not.

Then we've got offensive game calling by committee again, headed by that obstinate old coot whose playbook hasn't modernized since Red Grange.

There's only ONE 'rational' perspective.

And that is that we're doomed. :laugh1:

 

[superpunk]

Just a word....

I know we get tired of the morons, and the stupid people, and the knee jerkers, and the fake fans, and the skins trolls.....

But they have just as much a right to post as everyone else.

I really do just have enough of these idiots from time to time, overrunning the forum with their foolishness. But when that happens, I just don't sign in for a day (or an hour ) Let it pass, let other people worry about fueling their stupidity, and come back when you fancy another go.

Or just mock 'em.

It's fun either way.

This thread is the proof that perpetual motion/free energy does exist.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

I dont mean to argue with you.. I think you are a good poster and I like you.. and I actually agree with a lot of what you are saying.. but, honestly, this is just the nature of forums.. it's like when you go to a game at Texas Stadium.. there are gonna be some drunk idiots who start screaming and cussing every time Bledsoe throws an incompletion and every time the other team gains four yards.. is it irritating? yes.. do they look stupid? yes.. but those idiots have every bit as big a right to be at Texas Stadium as you do.. they paid for their ticket and they have a seat.. you have two choices: get mad and angry at them and let it ruin your experience, or you just accept it and actually embrace it as part of the atmosphere.. i choose the latter..

Post of the year.

 

[LaTunaNostra]

Just couldnt control yourself could you. Not even Glenn saw mercy.

I give her six weeks to either get hurt or 'disappear'.

I pity all those fools who are buying into the pundits' pick of the Boys as best in the East..based on what? Owens presence? He's hurt, never got in sync with Bledsoe, and about to erupt as soon as he's exposed as having lost a few steps.

Owens...and a defense that is young and relatively inexperienced in critical spots. Still no sign of a consistent pass rush..or even an occasional pass rush.

So what else is new?

 

[yohishimer]

hahahahahhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Made my day!

 

[InmanRoshi]

I just gotta say is Jerry must just sit back and laugh his butt off remembering the days when he was the controversial lightening rod figure around the Dallas Cowboys. He must be loving this 'good cop/bad cop' stuff. No wonder he gave Parcells a raise at the end of last year.

Now you have gone and given them new material, this post will be in the haterade manual now and used against us. Don't know how you forgot ol' peg leg, I mean Flo. Maybe you didn't mention him cause he is so done.

BTW, I think I just heard she broke a nail, out for 3-4 weeks............
