Jerry Missed Out on His War Daddy

[eromeopolk]

How can you say you are a risk taker, want a "War Daddy", and miss out on getting Jedeveon Clowney DE for $10M? He was the no.1 DE out of high school, no.1 DE out of college, multiple Pro Bowler, and he has less risk than Aldon Smith, Randy Gregory, David Irving, Sean Lee, Jalyon Smith, Leighton Vander Esch, Bruce Carter, etc.

When Jerry Dumbo GM Jones does this and Arlington Jonesboys fans are not alarmed, I know there will be no NFC Championship game let alone a Super Bowl run.

Either the Cowboys can not recruit good young free agents, or Jerry is that much of a Dumbo GM.

He's an average player at best now. I'm mad about our lack of spending too but signing him for anything like 10M would be a bad move

 

[Jipper]

Just because you know his name and remember how good he was doesn't mean he's still that player, not worth 10 mil a year

[Cattle_Rancher]

He is very average and overpriced and seems injury prone I'd rather have Justin Houston

 

[Vinnie2u]

If he’s so good why was he available?

 

[Mr Cowboy]

He has 2 sacks in his last 20 games. He doesn't practice at all during the week. He's no war daddy!

Jerry missed but still not as big a miss as this post

Nah. Jadeveon kind of sucks and hasn't lived up to a single contract he's been under in his entire career.
He'd be laughed at by us as another Jones' blunder, in the End.

But whatevs, whine away.

You can't be serious. Clowney has nothing left.

 

[John813]

Sort of relieved it's not a Pitts thread but at the same I wish it was.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Not worth near 10 mil imo.

Clowney has been so great in the pros that no one wants to commit to him. I wonder who he will play half a season for next year?

I don't think he wanted to play in Dallas anyway. The Browns were more appealing.

 

[Nickyd2208]

His zero sacks is last year was impressive

 

[chagus]

Clowney has lived off of that one college highlight hit his entire career.

He's been pretty average thus far. I wouldn't take him at 10mill. Like some other posters have noted: he's way too overpriced for his lack of production.

 

[Hardline]

[TheMarathonContinues]

There is nothing "war" or "daddy" about Clowney. Don't feel bad Clowney duped a lot of people.

 

[Doomsay]

Jerry for 324 months and counting.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

A “war daddy” that has a grand total of 3 sacks in his last 21 games.

 

[CATCH17]

I think Phillips from Miami should be spoken about more as a potential option for this team.
