Ndamukong Suh Revisited

ABQCOWBOY · Oct 23, 2014

If Michael Jordan had played in Milwaukee, he would still have been a great, great player but he never would have reached the stature we see him at today. It definitely helped him by playing in Chicago. He is a guy who made more in endorsements then he ever did with NBA contracts. I think it definitely matters what market you play in, if you are an athlete.

LOL I just love when people say certain guys "won't be a good fit in the locker room". How do you know which players will come in and make friends? Or have teammates rally around them emotionally or physically?

Same guys thought signing Rolando would be a "culture killer" are now begging for him to be here forever.

Kill the clichès. Go Cowboys.

I like Suh's game, but I would not like the enormous contract that would be required to get him.

I gotta imagine he will be looking at JJ Watt money.

We have a good thing going now with a team that is hungry and seems to be cohesive. And we're 6-1.
I'd prefer not tamper with that.

No Suh in Dallas. Re-sign Dez and Rolando first. I'd rather retain our players and get help through the draft.

I'm all for this too. Are there any studs coming out of the draft next year that we could possibly go after?

I'm more concerned with killing the salary cap. McClain didn't bring in a high price tag the way Suh will.

Not just no, but hell no.

Suh and Sam DT & DE

and some want to grab AP so we have he and DEZ on offense. We might not win but we will make headlines

erod · Oct 23, 2014

Suh would make a big impact here, but money is the key. Don't overpay anybody anymore, period.

I mainly agree with you, however, somehow the NFL feels different.

Would Payton Manning have had more national exposure had he played in NY than Indy? Would Brett Favre have had more national exposure had he played in Washington than in Green Bay?

Even today I suspect Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthew are probably #2 and #3 (at least in TV commercials) behind Manning today -- you can turn on an NFL game on without seeing one or both of them (often multiple times) in commercials. Would Rodgers or Matthews star shine more brightly from a national perspective if they played in Dallas?

Probably. On the other hands those guys may be more exceptions than the norm -- Peyton because of his lineage and his amazing stats/results and the guys from Green Bay because Green Bay is the NFL's darling franchise.

Food for thought.

Absolutely he would have. All you need to do is look at Eli, who is not even close to Payton, and see that he would have. I think the same could be said for Favre. Heck, if he had been drafted to Washington, he never would have been traded. Payton never would have been traded to Denver.

I absolutely do believe that.

I'd rent him the rest of this season if it meant a superbowl, and he can go wherever the hell he wants after that

The asking price is a second-round pick that could become a first.

I don't care about making friends, he tends not to listen to what coaches tell him he does not seem to care and that is something Dallas does not need. Ro a couple of years back given his problems I would not have wanted him. He took time off from the game got his life in order and came to Dallas on a cheap one year deal.

Suh I think is not worth the headache. Yes he is talented but darn he has a ton of issues.

Kaiser · Oct 23, 2014

Its fun to daydream about Suh in Dallas (after Tyron and Fred hose him off) but the cap room isn't there like everyone have said. And the team was right to take Fred and TWill instead of a very good 1 Tech, I'd rather have a cheap B+ player that emerges from the group we already have than a super-expensive A+ player.

I agree, I have no doubt of his talent. I want guys who will take orders and do what is asked of them

Doomsday101like in earlier post I take a DT to coach up in draft.

Okay

So you're willing to give up the next inexpensive Zack Martin or Tyron Smith or Dez Bryant for a half season of Suh, whom you may not re-sign.
