Am I the inly one who read the article and thought it sounded like he didn't even know who Beebe was and just made the general blanket comment?

Most teams also fill their major holes with free agents to supplement those draft picks. Dallas plays more draft picks than other teams because it only signs cheap free agents.
Not so sure about that. There are many draft and develop organizations out there. Be interesting to see the facts.

No, I’m sure there are others like yourself who thought the same.

Does Beebe get the start center next Sunday?
I’d be shocked if he doesn’t. All he needed to do was learn the position and get some experience at it. He looks like he is the guy many of us thought and hoped he would be after the draft. He’s likely going to have some growing pains but his future looks pretty bright right now IMO

So if you're keeping score, kids... he loves Jerry as GM and thinks Parcells was overrated.

You share a team with these people.
What do you think of Parcells? I enjoy his humor. He is a funny guy.

Most of that will probably come from Guyton's man, especially since he's playing Garrett. Beebe is more protected inside, so if Dak gets hit by who he is supposed to block, it will more likely because he failed to recognize and pick up a blitzer. Hopefully, he doesn't have any snap problems in his first real game at center.
Garrett plays the other side. He may line up against Guyton as well to test him (and I suspect he will) but he will mostly be on Steele‘s side.

Oh, I thought he was a right end. Shows what I know about other teams.

Teams that win the Super Bowl supplement their draft and develop with priority free agents. You can look back at the rosters of Super Bowl winners and see that. We play draft picks at some positions because we simply do not have better players because we are cheap in free agency.

That doesn't mean we're not a good drafting team, just that it's tough winning through the draft alone. No team hits on every pick.

Oh, okay, now it’s teams that win Super Bowls. Dude, if you’re going to move the goal posts, I’m not participating.

The Cowboys can win the Super Bowl.

I'll believe it when I see it. Right now, we're going on almost 30 years of not even being able to make it to an NFC Championship Game. I do not blame the players for that. I blame the management. We've been using our approach to free agency since 2012 and still have not made an NFC title game, which should tell us the approach is not working (just like ignoring the draft and trying to win through free agency did not work prior to that).

It's always about winning the Super Bowl. That's the purpose of roster-building, to compete for titles. You wanted something that was measurable. It's pretty easy. Look at the last five Super Bowl champs and look how they built their roster compared to us. (You can go back and look at others, but that's a good sample to show that they spent big to acquire a few key pieces that helped them get a title.)

One day you will see it. Then you can come up with another theory.

Overrated Bill Parcells. Very funny and entertaining guy though.
Overrated?

The guy took over teams that were real bad before he got there and turned them all around.

Took over the giants and won 2 SBs - one of them with the back-up QB...

Took over the Pats got them to a SB...

Took over the Jets who were 1-15 the year before and in his first year as HC got them to 9-7, the next year went 12-4 and went to the AFCCG - thats a humungous turnaround...

Took over the Cowboys turned around a team that was 5-11 3 years in a row - left a play-off team, solid core and a franchise QB..

Overrated?

Kansas City does a combination of it all. The Chiefs brought in expensive free agents, traded players, drafted and used inexpensive free agents. The difference for us is that we bring in no expensive free agents. Again, if you look back at the Super Bowl teams for the past five, 10 years, you will find that all of them had expensive free agents on their Super Bowl rosters. That is part of the blueprint.

For example, before the 2023 season, the Chiefs signed Jacksonville LT Jawan Taylor for four years, $80 million, San Francisco DL Charles Omenihu for two years, $16 million and made other moves that were more typical of the moves we would have made. But the more expensive moves were to shore up areas that could have been weak links.
