The Tyron health scare is the most over-rated narrative on this forum.
All we heard in 2017 was his impeding doom and then he went and played better in 2018. Heard the same narrative this year and the only major set-back he had was a fluke impact collision, his 40 million dollar QB crashing into his ankles (that same injury would of happend to ANY tackle that was on the field that play). If it wasn't for a fluke injury this would of been his healthiest season since 2016......... (let's slow our roll on his impeding doom).
If you want to talk health issues are LG Connor Williams has had knee surgery in his last 3 seasons. He's not durable at all and most think he's under-sized for the position. 4 total knee surgeries so far and he's only 22.......
You want to talk real health issues Amari cooper. He has literally disappeared in the 2nd half of the season in 2 of the last 3 years. Not sure if that's someone you want to give 3 years of guranteed high dollar money to
No, it means I seriously have more critical thinking skills than a 10 year old.
Here is what you are saying -
Person A works full time in an NFL front office, in charge of scouts, coaches and front office people 24/7. He lives and breathes it and is judged on it for 30 years, good and bad.
Person B reads a few articles about it from sportswriters who spend a few hours a day around the people working for Person A.
It takes a 10 year old or a blind hater to say that Person A knows absolutely nothing and Person B knows more. That has nothing to do with "blinders", its common sense.[/QUOTE/]
You appear to have a disconnect as to how front offices work. There are many many front office people in different types of business who don't have a clue as to the details.
I don't know what type of critical thinking skills you are claiming to have, but you definitely left them at home on this topic.[/QUOTE/]
Bill Bates had like one year starting in his entire career.Brutally honest...........Need to get alot bigger on defense....bigger corners.....Jeff Heath is just a modern day Bill-bates.....awuzie and brown are pee-wee height....jones probably walks....I think mccarthy starts building through the draft with a whole new regime...
No, I don’t hate the hire but I’m not ecstatic about it until proven otherwise. Record be damned, I thought McCarthy called very conservative games although I am looking forward to his alleged “transformation” or whatever you want to call it during his year off. I am also strongly skeptical of what he can do without a HOF QB taking snaps, hopefully he proves me wrong.Im not suggesting you “buy in”. But do you hate the hire and if so, why?
Why hate everything and assume the worst about everything?

Minus the QB position this has to be one of the best rosters he’s ever had (as over rated as it is IMO). He better make the playoffs the first year, no excuses.
Oh...and I don’t hate everything, I just don’t get giddy and start waving pom poms over every move we make or over every W we get. After 20+ years of disappointment I’d rather not get my hopes up only to be let down again and again and again although I did try it 2 years ago and had the same results.
I’d say I’m more of a realist, not negative nancy like 90% of the people in the live game threads after we go down one TD in the first quarter but I also wasn’t on the hype train like a lot of people were after beating 3 of the worst teams in the league to start off 3-0.
You and I just disagree. No big deal. It’s what this forum is all about. I have always appreciated your strong opinions- even the ones we disagree on. There is no doubt you love the Cowboys...and so do I. We both love the Cowboys. I want them to win another championship. We just disagree on some details- that’s all.
Here’s the problem I have- not with anything you’ve said, but with some comments made by a few on this thread and other recent threads- When we disagree with someone, it’s very disrespectful to a fellow Cowboys fan to call their opinion “hate” or worse, to tell them to “go cheer for some other team”. That is ridiculous and should stop. Again, not saying you’ve done it K but it’s been happening too much on this and other threads.
If I didn’t love the Cowboys, I wouldn’t waste my time posting so many opinions. Some of my opinions are probably wrong too, LOL! But it’s fun to have opinions about my favorite team. Let’s direct our frustration toward someplace Like the ”City of Brotherly Shove“ instead of each other.
I agree with all except WR. Give Coop another year to prove himself with Big Mike although I don't know if that's possible with the salary implications. I have a hard time abandoning a QB/WR team that went for that many yards though with so much of the team falling apart. I have to believe they'll get better next year.
Most disappointing position on that list is LB. That was supposed to be our strongest just one year ago. Hindsight is 20/20, but if LVE is an injury bust when we knew he already had this issue, that's some wasted draft picks the last few years. We were going pretty strong right up until Dak/Zeke's draft year, and then it went off the tracks a little bit.
Some of this almost depends on which defensive formation we're predominantly going towards. We need a fat guy at DT no matter what though.
This is one of those posts that I'd give a thousand likes to if I could.Just keep in mind that when @Bobhaze disagrees with @Kaiser , that @Bobhaze is wrong.
It's like Gilligan vs the Professor. You're Gilligan in that scenario...
I don't know what you think you have ever done to deserve to even question somebody that has proven over and over to know more than you know.

I thought I was Thurston Howell III...
Exact knowledge:So fill us in, what is your exact knowledge of the Dallas Front Office and Jerry specifically? Be specific. Did you work there? Another part of another NFL team? Have you even met anyone there even once?
Exact knowledge:
Jerry is a terrible GM. Not only do the facts point toward that monumentally, Jerry himself has publicly admitted that he is a terrible GM. A person would have to seriously go out of their way to avoid the mountain of facts that point toward Jerry being a terrible GM.

Couple of points here:Show us the link of Jerry saying that. Then back up the statement you have ducked repeatedly - How does a casual fan know more than an NFL owner and what exactly do you know about the operation of a NFL front office.
"I have bad feels" isn't knowledge, its an excuse. Back up your posts with facts.
Couple of points here:
You don’t have to be an “expert” about NFL front offices to know Jerry isn’t a great GM. 3 playoff wins in 24 years...what else is needed?
- Jerry has said publicly that he would have fired himself as GM. That’s common knowledge. Doesn’t need to be proven. If so, you can look it up.
- The only thing I need to know about the operation of a front office or it’s GM is the results they get. The results Jerry has been getting as GM since 1995 are mediocre at best.
