Jason Garrett Was Key In Drafting Ezekiel Elliott And Dak Prescott

[Nirvana]

By all accounts, the scouts did not like Prescott. He was a coaches' pick, specifically Linehan and Wilson's.

No wonder we've had so many bums coming through here.

 

[JoeKing]

You know tnis, how? Maybe it was the other way around. Who was the last to interview Dakota? Jerry? LMAO!!!!!

You sound like a petulant child. Dakota didn't just walk into Jason's office and introduce himself, he was scouted. Someone below Jason Garret in the Cowboys chain of command took notice of young Prescott and thought he was a worthy draft pick.

 

[haleyrules]

You actually believe that?

lol. If ole Jerry boy had really wanted Manziel...he would have been a Cowboy.

Camping out a Miss St. And digging a hole from here to China is NOT luck.

Several other teams, including the great John Elway had their opportunity. Denver used their first round pick and chose Paxton.

Thats what l meant by Luck. All the other clubs had at least several opportunities to take Prescott.

The narrative will change dramatically if we don't have a satisfactory end to the season (whatever that may be)

Your not kidding. Anything short of the Conference game will be viewed, by most, as a failure. Expectations are a little too high everything considered. The Cowboys could go all the way but its not a certainty.

Exactly, not Garrett's.

When a company hires any person to do a job and they do it.
Do we say the CEO,Pres,CFO or coach didn't do it the guy that was hired to do that job
did it..The company did it and they did a good job. Why is this so hard for some of you guys to grasp?

I still think Garrett and Jones sabotaged Wilson to become head coach. That's why he didnt take the Baltimore job. When he was a coordinator he would not let Romo change plays, as a head coach Romo gets the green light. Oh well, doesn't matter now. I hope he gets coach of the year and wins us multiple Superbowls. Go Red!!!

Romo was audibleing to passes way to much in some games. I remember the 2010 Washington game like it was yesterday, because I was there, were Romo was tricked over and over into changing calls. Basically he killed our run game, threw 50 times and lost.

It's been fun watching it gradually dawn on people what's been going on in Dallas the last several years. Just swallow the pill and get on board the HC train. There's no stopping it now. Either get on board, or stay under the tracks.



Anybody here think he's not the hands-down favorite for Coach of the Year in the NFL in 2016? Anybody?

Yeah, in retrospect, it's clear what type of team Garrett has been trying to build. This is one instance where it's OK for you to say you were right all along.

I will say one thing though: the missing ingredient for a Garrett team is fun. With the right players, the team a) has fun playing and b) is fun watching. In the past, Garrett teams were very robotic. And that led to 'good' teams. But to be better than just good, to be great, you need a spark. And that's what guys like Zeke provide.

Always start with the insults when someone disagrees. So typical.
Maybe you're not built for a football forum?

Yah. Jason never watches college ranked football. His wife took away his TV. He's also not allowed talk to his college level head coaches whom most are friends. Including Saban whom, BTW, was beat by Prescott.

But your right. Prescott probably didn't walk into Garrett's office.....That would be silly, even as a notion. Right?

 

[Ranching]

LOL, all this debate about who vs. who you would think this season had tanked already. I'm sure everybody had a hand in the recent success. Let's just enjoy it!

 

[Diehardblues]

I believe regardless of the results in the playoffs Garrett will win.

No one expected him to have success with Jerry.

Needs to win Sunday and get to the NFC Championship game. Something no other Cowboys coach has accomplished since the mid-90s. Including Bill Parcells.

That should get everyone on board. Even the animals.

 

[Ranching]

About the red wig thing? I'm totally right.

A red wig and two beady eyes on top of my head. LOL

 

[Everson24]

Jason Garrett did not want the Randy Gregory pick. He wanted speedy WR Tyler Lockett. He also was not on board with the trade for Mo Claiborne. It was later made known that the Cowboys would have drafted Micheal Brockers and Bobby Wagner instead. Just think how good this team would look right now with those three players on this team.

 

[khiladi]

Khilda what does it mean "actual article" and when did Peter King become the go to man for inside Dallas Cowboys info.
ya obviously they wanted other QB's before they took Dakota.

It's funny that you would say this, considering the article you quoted is basing basically all his assumptions on THAT Peter King article. That guy is quoting the Peter King article.

Your utter immaturity is noted. Rather than adding to this ridiculous conversation, I'll be the adult in the room to walk away. SMH

Jerry wanted.......MANZIEL.

Just blew your post out of the water......That would include Marcellus Wiley, #81, Ismail, Roy Williams the receiver, Galloway, Campo, Switzer "Let's bring a gun to the airport", Gailey, Tony Banks, Ryan Leaf, Anzwah, and a slew of other 'Projects' that looked good in the shower and may or may not have got him some 'Glory.........hole'.

Give it a rest, dude. You're embarrassing Jerry........

The Jerry wanted Manziel narrative is tired. Jerry has made it clear (sometimes painfully) that what Jerry wants, Jerry gets. I don't doubt there was talk about Manziel and that Jerry had an affinity for the guy, he's said as much. But if Jerry really wanted Manziel that badly, he would have picked him. He hasn't relinquished that GM title last I checked.

Be careful. Level-headed/unbiased/non-JerryBashing comments like this will not be taken kindly around these parts...
