Will he ever play another snap for this team? He has been missing ever since OBJ burned him down the sidelines. Do hamstrings usually take this long to heal? It's a month and counting..

People complain about Dez and Romo being injury prone, but Scandrick is much worse.

Let's hope he doesn't have Miles Austin hammy's, or he will be out for most of the year.

LOL.

I didn't realize a 4-1 record means you can't discuss issues facing the team?
That strawman might stand if this thread existed in isolation. But it doesn't. It exists alongside threads devoted to hating Dez because he's hurt, critiquing his sideline attire, complaining about the draft, etc.

At 4-1, even this team isn't above reproach in some instances (DL, LB) but the threads popping up criticizing draft picks, CB, QB, WR (Dez's injury) are confounding, ACF.

People that want to be critical are awesome, it lends balance and separates us from homer sites like BtB, but the criticism we're seeing here lately is a lot of grasping at straws.

We're 4-1, when you pick an angle to criticize, it needs to be dead on. And if it is, awesome. Syd is an amazing poster here, I think his comment was more of a generality.

Some of these threads tho, I'm like, "am I missing something here, am I too dense" lol

It's not just the hamstrings, he's coming off an ACL. He may never return to form we'll just have to see.

No not really. What Cowboys message board closed recently? Way more idiots here than usual in the past few weeks

All the defenders matter. Offenses target weaknesses.

Speaking of weaknesses, Risen's argument depends on people believing we've had poor CB play in Scandrick's absence and have won anyway. Whereas the opposite has been true.

The reality is, in a league where quarterbacks like to get the ball out in three seconds or less, corners absolutely matter if you want to make the quarterback hold onto the ball long enough for pass rush to make a difference.

Let me see...when the secondary is playing very strong ball, make believe there is some base cause for a player injured...

Beam me up, Scottie - no intelligent life form on this planet.

Scandrick has only been the leader of the secondary for the past four seasons. Yea, take a seat at the 'ol burn barrel and take another swig of Ripple.

Orlando Scandrick's return will mean great depth and very strong packages. Plus he is a keeper.

People talk about Romo and Dez more because of the amount of money tied up into both.

Scandrick doesn't mean much to this team.

Some of the comments in here make me chuckle.

A few months ago, he was a key missing part to the disastrous 2015 season.

How many teams lose their QB, their WR, their best CB and can win? Huh? You can't win without that!

Amazing how a year makes a difference.
Feel you bro. In the zone, peeps can turn on you after a game much less a year. To be fair, it took me two games to get sour on twill.
