Jerry Jones on Dez Bryant

[Nav22]

Accurate injury updates?

Sometimes accurate, sometimes inaccurate. Like every other team in the NFL.

Check the other GM's out. Jerry is a different breed.

Well, you're either implying that Jerry is accurate (unlike other GMs) or that Jerry is inaccurate (unlike other GMs), and you're wrong either way.

I'm glad you guys are optimistic. Spread some of that over if you have any to spare.

It would be interesting to see your list of all of the other GM's injury prognostications especially a list of consistently wrong ones, like Jerry's.

LOL

What, you mean like Jerry saying Dez hasn't been ruled out and could end up playing, only to have Dez not end up playing?

Do you REALLY believe this counts as a "wrong prognostication"? It doesn't. Dez wasn't ruled out because it wasn't definitive that he wouldn't play. Hence the "doubtful" designation.

Dez was never going to play last week, Jerry was being hopeful. Kind of like he publicly hoped Tony could be back for the Tampa game. Give me some examples of other similar public GM missives, that's your challenge.

Hahaha. You really think other GMs NEVER give injury information that isn't 100% accurate? Is this a joke?

Bill Belichick, who's essentially the Pats GM, constantly fudges injury reports to throw off the opponent. The Eagles have claimed that Jason Peters, who was carted off the field Sunday night, could play after the bye at Dallas.

The funny part is that when Jerry DOES give fully accurate injury information, he's criticized by fans for tipping off the opponent.

Both coaches speaking there, not Owners or fake GMs - which is the point. I'm still waiting. You might be right that other GM's prognosticate about major player injuries, but I have just not seen a lot of it up here in the Northeast media.

His team, he can be anything he wants to be honest.

We just lost to a really bad Giants team. They are awful.

Seattle may have a couple of holes, but they are better than the Giants, who are Swiss cheese. Yet we couldn't exploit that. Seattle has lost the 3 undefeated teams and a division rival who always plays them tough.

We are nowhere near Cincinnati, Green Bay or Carolina. I'm not sure we are even as good as St. Louis.

Yeah I know, any given week and all that. But it's going to take a huge turnaround from what I've seen lately to beat Seattle.

Marked you down for giving up. Will re-visit at end of year.

No lingering effects is a good sign in my opinion. I'm not a doctor obviously but I think he plays this Sunday

Sounds good

What's the difference?

Since when are GMs not supposed to speak about injuries to the roster they're paid to manage?

I did one Google search and lookie here... Jerry Reese (Giants GM) speaking on Victor Cruz all the way back in early May.

"We feel really good about Victor, he's working hard every day," Reese said. "I was down there watching him work out a couple of days before the draft. He's excited, he's jumping up on boxes as tall as he is, almost, so he must be doing pretty good for me. We think he's probably 85, close to 90 percent right now, but they're taking him at a snail's pace just so he won't have any setbacks."

That was early May. It's late October and Cruz hasn't played a snap this season.

Richard Sherman just chuckled...

He's just chucked when thinking about a solid foot stomp or two to slow Dez down.

That took a bit. It was was a comment made in the off-season. There is a big difference between that and an owner / fake GM jawing in the media (sometimes without a clue: "Tony back for the Tampa game") during the regular season, potentially contradicting the team's head coach. It's not SOP for other teams like it is in Dallas.

Does anyone really think that JJ the GM talking about injuries really affects anything that happens on the field? I mean it's been this way for 20+ years and people are still complaining about it? It isn't going to change until JJ is dead. I think people are getting worked up for something that isn't really a big deal. just my .02
