LOL. Lombardi just babbles about.

The back is the PG of the team? LOL.

He does make a good point about Washington. They should try and sign Lamar. With their defense he would put them in contention.

I trust Lombardi 1000 times more than any Dallas area radio guy or talk show , newspaper beat writer. He knows what he's talking about. He was the 1 guy that called it with Brandin Cooks before anyone. The guy is connected and has rings dating back to the Walsh era. When he speaks I listen. For those that think Bobby Belt is better, Man alive...thats funny stuff.

His commentary on the TB position was loopy. In one breath he calls them the PG of the offense, how they make everything go and then admits he wouldn’t use a high pick on one.

We just watched two SB teams that patch worked their running back position, didn’t have tons of dollars tied up into the TB position and were top offenses.

Lombardi is stuck in the 80s and 90s on some of this stuff.

Any person that essentially claims the TB is the PG of an offense that gets it going is loopy.

Lombardi is stuck in the 80s and 90s.
he isnt saying that with every team. I dont agree with everything he says. Like the Lamar thing. Thats just ridiculous as Lamar isnt worth essentially more money than Mahomes. Lamar isnt all that. But largely when guys like Bobby Belt talk about drafting a TE as a need at 26, I must laugh. This isnt happening. This is still tackle football and u must run the ball. Not everyone has a Mahomes or Hurts as their QB. We need a decent run game. We have to win that way. We are limited with Dak. Big Mike understands this.

I think he was referring to pollard as being the straw that stirs the drink ie he isn't just a rb. He wasn't as clear as he needed to be on this.

That's the way I took it. His comments made me think about Pollard and in terms of draft prospects Jahmyr Gibbs.

Man I would luv that. We would be loaded for bear at rb.
He could go higher than 26 but I just did a mock draft this morning with a trade back with the Chiefs and picked him at 31.

Gibbs RB/Slot receiver
Drew Sanders LB/Edge
Matthew Bergeron OL
Marvin Mims Jr. WR
Jaquelin Roy DT
Atonio Mafi OG
Davis Allen TE
Rejzohn Wright CB
Cameron Young DT

Lombardi is good but he has also been famously wrong before.
Anyone with a long history will have that issue.
He did work for San Fran and Philly so Dallas fans are unlikely to love the guy.

... and I assure you Bobby Belt has more local ties because he took on Jane's role.

but this stuff above is all good.
I can't disagree with him here at all.
OBJ IS vastly overpaid.

There’s good reason why he’s on the outside looking in rather than being involved with running a team.

He likes to talk like he’s accomplished things.

He was speaking generally not just about Dallas.

More clued in to the NFL then anyone else I know.
Great definition of a #1 receiver.
