not necessarily,

sometimes the bottom of the roster can help you

example, shanle was picked up from the rams i think, and he sat on the roster for a year, then he was traded best i remember.

that pick turned into a 6th round pick or 7th that was used to draft a pretty good player that is playing for the cowboys now.

so the bottom of the roster does help

just like when the cowboys signed columbo and he sat on the roster for a year, healing up his bad knee injury.

so in those, both ways the bottom of the roster does help.

another example was way back in early 70's, the cowboys signed undrafted free agent drew pearson and the rest is history
Shanle could not make this team. So what good would it be to pick up another Shanle?

This is basically the same team as last year w/ more continuity.Keeping this team together is a great strategy.
There is always a window of oppurtunity. People believe the Mavs window has closed. The window is open for the boys if they take advantage now. The new stadium should help keep the window propped open for a while.

How does the ignore feature work?
So glad you asked.

Click on someone's username. A menu will drop down on the left. Choose the top option "View User Profile." At the top you will see a blue banner with the Ignore function in the middle. Click it and some of this tripe goes away.

I envy those who can use it.

this is a message board right?

which means this guy cant rant, gripe, predict, complain and every other thing he wants ....he is a Cowboys fan just like yall...yall are no better...just because you have thousands of post doesnt make you any more a fan .. but it has givin some of you a false since that you are some Cowboy guru or something.....it may come to a shock to yall that there are no scouts or player personal guys here....we all have opinions and this is his...if you dont like it ...move along to the next post.....because listening to some of you complain daily about someone elses posts not being up to your standards is really just as annoying as the posts you attack...

The difference is, he makes multiple threads like this. We all can live with a sketchy thread here or there, but not every damn day.

He can rant. We can respond to it. That's how it works on a message board.

Post count doesn't mean didley to anyone. I have more posts than anyone on this forum. So the hell what? That and a buck will buy me a bunch of junk at the dollar store.

draft pick hostile on another shanle

best i remember shanle was traded a draft pick in 6th or 7th round and that pick was turned into a pretty good player for the cowboys

thats what i mean by turning the bottom of the roster

now i do agree the cowboys did some things great,

heck when you have 13 probowlers you have something right

and i dont preach doom and gloom all the time

i have posted lots of stuff on some positive stuff, then i get blasted for being for someone on the team

then i get blasted for saying some leadership is needed on the team

so either way, you cant please everybody all the time, no matter what you do

i believe, if you have something to contribute, just like when i notified you hostile about T O pumping his arms on a route, and ex head coach of the 49ers said, T O on film, on nfl network, you know better than that, dont telegraph the route

i even think that the cowboys might have 14 to 16 probowlers this year, if everything falls like i think it will

and it gets old too Hostile when you complain and complain about someones typing, or thoughts, that gets old too,

i have never complained like some people do towards some zoners that bunch their words together, or dont use punctuation

i even saw one person that has gotten on a few zoners about punctuation, writing skills, this person missed punctuation and spelling some words

we all are adults here, this is a free country and you should be allowed to write and type what you want, what you think,

sure dont get out of line and blast someone, or call them names or be nick picking at them, that in itself it pretty low

i feel, if a person, and i know a few that have helped the cowboys win ball games, then that person has a right for free speech just like anyone else

and there is a big total difference between stomach acid refux and spasmodic dysphonia, A HUGE DIFFERENCE! when you have your voice choking and cant talk, when your muscles tighten up and feell like the bones are breaking, then come talk to me Hostile, know what your talking about before you say just stomach and acid reflux

i have a bunch of times started one liners on discussion, and i got blasted for that, oh, here is the great one liners, give me a break

that gets old too

so before you judge someone, you need to know what your talking about and what has been said

I never said you were preaching doom and gloom. Others might have. I was talking about someone else.

People get blasted on a forum. You have to expect it.

i believe, if you have something to contribute, just like when i notified you hostile about T O pumping his arms on a route, and ex head coach of the 49ers said, T O on film, on nfl network, you know better than that, dont telegraph the route

Again, I never said don't post threads. Not once. If I don't want to see a thread I can remove it.

and it gets old too Hostile when you complain and complain about someones typing, or thoughts, that gets old too,
The only time I have ever complained about anyone's typing is when they don't use paragraphs or write like a text message.

You are confusing me with others.

i have never complained like some people do towards some zoners that bunch their words together, or dont use punctuation

i even saw one person that has gotten on a few zoners about punctuation, writing skills, this person missed punctuation and spelling some words
Some people have pet peeves. It's life.

we all are adults here, this is a free country and you should be allowed to write and type what you want, what you think,

sure dont get out of line and blast someone, or call them names or be nick picking at them, that in itself it pretty low
I never said you did. Not once.

Yeah, and this has to do with what?

and there is a big total difference between stomach acid refux and spasmodic dysphonia, A HUGE DIFFERENCE! when you have your voice choking and cant talk, when your muscles tighten up and feell like the bones are breaking, then come talk to me Hostile, know what your talking about before you say just stomach and acid reflux
Please go back and look at the person I was responding to in that post and see if it was your post and your username.

Here's a hint Joe, every response in a thread is not necessarily aimed at you. Even if you are the author of the thread. If I have a problem with you or one of your ideas, I will respond to you so you will know for sure.

i have a bunch of times started one liners on discussion, and i got blasted for that, oh, here is the great one liners, give me a break

that gets old too

so before you judge someone, you need to know what your talking about and what has been said
Once again, I didn't judge you or anyone else for that matter.

You're able to say whatever you want right? So am I. Get used to the fact that I am a blabbermouth who speaks my mind.

Joe, I think Jerry (and to some degree Stephen, from taking Dad's lead) is just so over-optimistic that you have to take what he says with a grain of salt. Like that this is the best coaching staff ever, or that this is one of the most important seasons in Cowboys history, or that Alonzo Coleman looks great and could get play time, or whatever.

Because we are a good team and we do have a lot of talent, I'm sure we did get some calls on people... But that doesn't mean they work out in actual trades.


Damn good post!!! Every time i hear the Jones boys they are over the top. Jerry has about 20 players on his list that are the 5 best he's ever had. :D

I do take them with a grain as should all Cowboys fans.

Trust me, everyone is open to it. What gets tired is the constant whine about it instead of a discussion. What is the difference? Real simple. A discussion is usually confined to one thread. A whine is when you go from thread to thread to thread preaching doom and gloom and telling us about your stomach acid reflux problems.

Dude, it just gets freaking old.


yup.......

It's you. They aren't answering the phones because the sky is falling through the roof.

We're not doomed, we're damned.

Well, that's a relief, I was worried we wouldn't find an acceptable Designated Scapegoat...

As always, it's comforting to know that you're on the job, paying attention to the important details...

D*** YOU, Hole In the Roof... it's ALL YOUR FAULT!!!

Hey, I feel better already...

and i am not 6 years old LOL,

i am 55

my problem and i have gone into this alilttle bit before.

i have spasmodic dysphonia, which causes my thoughts to ramble, along with tightening my voice box and i have spasms in my hands, head and legs,

which causes me sometimes not to put my words together completely

but i am a die hard dallas cowboys fan

I wasn't picking on the way you write, Joe, just your knee-jerk panic... you remind me of the old bumper sticker that reads "Lord, grant me patience, and I want it RIGHT NOW"... :D
