We would have a true football guy as the GM. Not sure who it would be, but he would be a true football guy. So all would be right in the world. Just accept that as fact and you avoid the headaches. It used to be we looked forward to Stephen Jones taking the helm. That went south today I guess. Anonymous True Football guy, we are looking for you. I hope you don't have a contract with some other team because that would be tampering.

I have no idea who the Head Coach would be. There doesn't seem to be a consensus. Suddenly once again Norv Turner seems to be the choice, even though I only remember dbair1967 liking that idea when we all thought it was Norv.

Ray Sherman would apparently be the OC. His first gig as OC was 1998 with the Steelers. They scored 263 points. That year the Vikings scored 556 points. In 1999 he took over as OC of the Vikings and that score dropped to 399 points. He's a great WRs coach, but I personally am not sold on him as an OC. But hey what do I know in comparison to the experts here?

I have no idea who the DC would be. The name most bandied about has been Dave Campo. Believe it or not. I can't speak for everyone, but this makes me sick to even think about it. Gte me my Nyquil, I feel the need to go numb just thinking about it.

Tony Romo turns the ball over too much so he would be gone. The most bandied about name is Brady Quinn, but that is really more by one person with a sickening man crush more than anything else. The next name that seemed to come up was Jeff Garcia. I guess he would be our QB and Ray Sherman would be expected to run a WCO for him. Interesting.

Terrell Owens and Matt Jones would be our starting WRs. Ogletree would be the 3rd guy and Danny Amendola the 4th guy. Or is that flip flopped? I've lost track. No team picked up Matt Jones all year long. Jerry is an idiot to leave that guy on the street and keep Miles Austin. Replace TO's production...pfft. Yeah right. Excuse me, was that out loud?

Jason Witten would have a reduced role because he can't get it done any more. Martellus Bennett would be traded to the Bengals. Not sure I disagree with that one since it was supposedly for a 1st round pick. I am a greedy ***** when it comes to draft picks. Can't deny what is true. I also can't deny the Offense suffered a little without Bennett in there against the Chargers. But you've got to look at the stats and only the stats to know his importance to the team. I gotta remember that.

Flozell Adams would be gone and Doug Free too, so I guess Pat McQuistan would be the LT. His twin brother Paul would have been picked up and Montrae Holland would be gone. Procter would be gone too, so I guess the other big red ugly would be our top backup at Guard. No one that I know of dislikes Columbo. It still sucks that he got hurt. I think there are a couple of fans who would have Gurode gone so I guess Duke Preston would be our Center.

Tashard Choice would be our top RB and Marion Barber would only get carries in the 4th quarter. Or maybe he would be our FB and Deon Anderson would be gone. I can't figure out what the fan consensus is on Felix Jones. He is either under used or over used. That much we do know. Apparently finding him the exact right number of carries is the football equivalent of the needle in the haystack.

Marcus Spears would be long gone by now so I guess Jason Hatcher would be starting. Maybe Stephen Bowen. Rest assured our DEs would do stuff that no other 3-4 DEs have ever done.

Bradie James never would have started and Keith Brooking never would have been signed. Instead Ray Lewis would be here at some kind of magical cap friendly deal that allowed us to keep Ware. Bobby Carpenter would definitely be gone so Jason Williams would be the primary backup at ILB and would be the cover LB in Nickel and Dime packages. Anthony Spencer would be gone and Victor Butler would be opposite Ware. Although lately I have read that Ware can't get it done.

Every CB we have would be neurotic from having heard that they are both "our best CB" and "can't play at all." Scandrick has gone from hero to zero. Jenkins never would have developed because he was gone last year after the Giants game. It is debatable whether or not Pacman would still be here.

Ken Hamlin would be long gone. I think. Recently it seems some can't wait for him to return.

Nick Folk would be gone and David Buehler would be the FG Kicker unless we took a look at Jason Elam, and all would be well in the world.

That is the formula for an undefeated season right there.

And you wonder why this emoticon is so good.

Pacman would still be here.

As for the rest, we wouldn't need a football guy running the team. We have plenty of football guys on this message board. Maybe steal a bit from Plato and put forth a philosopher-king type approach with the abundance of football guys we have on this forum.

One more: Jay Ratliff is supposedly too small to be a full-time NT. So he'd either be moved to DE or would only play DT on passing downs.

what did Stephen Jones do today?
Apparently someone discovered that he is Jerry's son. I couldn't grasp any other reason for the doubts expressed today, but I'm sick. So it may have gone right over my head.

Yeah, I shudder to think what would happen in the fanbase actually got to run the team. We'd probably resemble the Raiders, only more confusing and dysfunctional.

I still look forward to the day Stephen takes over. But than again I look forward to anything that can give us some hope right now.

David Buehler would be the starting kicker, middle linebacker and running back

Actually we should just sit the whole team down because we can suit Buehler up on offense AND defense as a one man army. He can simultaneously play QB, successfully block a 6 man blitz, and throw a touchdown pass to himself in quadruple coverage, outrunning the safety lined up 25 yards downfield. Kick the extra point. Boot through a touchback on the kickoff. Then on defense, blow through five linemen while simultaneously covering three receivers, the TE, and the RB to sack their QB, strip the ball, and run it back for a touchdown.

And the scary thing is, we're only three minutes into the game. ;)

Championship!

I believe 3 of our best players are Tony Romo, Miles Austin, and Jay Ratliff. I don't remember one single fan who was pimping for them. We would have had Byron Leftwich at QB and Merriman over Ware and a lot of other mistakes too.

Fan Drafts are fun, and I do them a lot. But our scouting department does a pretty fair job of finding gems like Choice and Scandrick and Barber. Just to name a few.

I don't think they are our Achilles heel or albatross. JMO.

I would of took Ware over Merriman.

Given the time the scouting dept has and considering it;s their job I would have to hope I could find the Austins, Ratliffs and Romos but I also know I would have Steven Jackson at Rb instead of trading him away for 2 players no longer on the roster in Julius Jones and Jacob Rogers. Also would have had Shaun Phillips who I was a big fan of over Stephen Peterman and Jake Scott over Bruce Thorton (although I also would of missed on Jared Allen)


I guess I have just never gotten the bitter taste of that 2004 draft out of my mouth! lol

This message board would be shut down via a trademark law suit or something, because there is just too much negativity posted that it hurts the Cowboy brand. :D

I would have instituted 3D games long before Jerry did. He sucks, if he had brought 3D games he could have charged even more money per ticket cause that is why fans come to games.
