Goose Gosselin-objective or lost his mind?

I'd take Trotter over Bradie or Akin anyday of the week.

His intensity alone would be worth it. He would be team captain from Day 1.

Wow. Trotter over Bradie or Akin. And Quinn over Romo.

I think this is all a big joke. You used to be a serious poster.

You think Trotter isn't better? He might be 30 and already peaked but his emotion is what Bradie, Roy and T-New should aspire to be.

I wouldn't take Quinn over Brady either now. Romo is far more seasoned at this point. But I would take a 2010 Quinn over a 2007 Romo.

No, I don't think Trotter is better. Bradie is starting on a team stacked at linebacker. Trotter was just cut by a team that isn't.

I've got a soft spot for Rayfield Wright. In his Hall of Fall induction speech, Wright thanked Gosselin. That counts a lot for me (even if maybe it shouldn't).

Gosselin's pre-draft information is good and I enjoy reading it. Apparently Gosselin has a good network of sources. His post-draft grades defy logic, IMO, but nobody is perfect.

Why does Goose say alot of negative things about our team?
And on top of that, what were all these raving articles he wrote about Philly the last several months? Just like in the Philly media, Goose wrote how Jeremiah Trotter slimmed down, looked ALOT quicker/faster, and from the looks of TC, was a sure bet to make a BIG comeback this season.(of course, a couple of days ago was the FIRST time the contrary was let out)

Does he just not have anything to do but twiddle his thumbs?

It got your attention didn't it. It's all about printing things that will sell and with Goose it almost always does

I was thinking the same thing. Kinda reminds me of how Nors would start out having some different but at least supportable opinions, but after a while it seemed like he just wanted to get a reaction out of people.

Oh well.

I though Bradie did plenty of the fist-pumping and jumping around that people love, but I guess he needs the kewl axe-chop thing to really get people fired up.

Here's a little more insight from Goose and how the process develops when working with the selection committee. Hopefully, it will give you a better understanding about what he's up against:

Draegerman,
I'm one of only nine people on the seniors committee and there's a rotation.
Only five of us meet each year to pick the two seniors. It's a harder
process than you think. There are 26 established NFL franchises and every
one of them is convinced it has three players who have been unfairly passed
over in the process. So that's a pool of 80 players right there who feel
they belong in Canton. We can only pick two from that pool. The Cowboys have had two seniors nominations in the last four years, so it may be 5-6-7 years before another Cowboy is cycled through the room. There were 17 candidates we discussed & debated this week and I honestly felt about a dozen of them should be Hall of Famers. Hayes and Howley were both discussed and had support in the room. Cliff Harris is also in the pool of players, and Drew Pearson will be there shortly. But there are 25 other
franchises that feel they have candidates just as strong as a Hayes or a
Harris. Like I said, we can only pick two. Don't give up hope. I haven't.
There'll be another Cowboy or two cycled through the room during my tenure
on the committee. Thanks for your interest in the process.

Guess I am on a deserted island by myself....

I just hated watching the boys play against Trotter and Eagles. He was always around the ball and always getiing his team fired up.

Draegerman, Thanks for posting this.

Definitely by yourself playa

Draegerman, Thanks for posting this.

You're more than welcome but to be fair, I asked Rick (Goose) for his permission first before I posted it. Here was his response:

Please do. I don't think folks understand how difficult the process is.
Cowboys fans want the senior committee to be a clearing house for Cowboys
greats. But the Steelers fans want it to be a clearing house for Steeler
greats, the Packers fans want it to be a clearing house for Packer greats
and so on. We only get to pick two from that pool of 80-90 each year. Again,
thanks for taking the time to ask.
Rick Gosselin

Like I said before, email this guy if you have any questions or concerns regarding Cowboys as candidates for induction into the NFL HoF. He's truly one of the good guys that we have working for us at the DMN.

A little "word" on Goose. He gets all his draft info second hand, does NO research himself(by his own admission) , and he's built his VERY RECENT rep as a draft "guru" through others hard work and talent. In the animal world he'd be called a parasite, but i'd call him a pimp, myself. As far as his journalistic ability, i'd trust my paperboy...........

that is what all GM's and most coaches do. Nobody has the opportunity to go to that many college games other than full time scouts and even they can only see one to two a weekend.
