Overshown: Why Is He Still Here

[nate dizzle]

Have you seen our depth chart? Why would we cut him? His cap hit is $1.7M and we only save $1.5M if we cut him. Like it or not he is 100% one of our top 5 LBers and probably top 3 at worst.in 90% of opinions. Cutting him would be a horrible move.

Being the best LBer on the team and consistently not playing pretty much eliminates your usefulness to the team.

Also, he is vastly overrated. 90% of NFL fans didn't even know who he was until this past weekend. I posted his career stats earlier in the thread....dude has made a handful of impact plays in 3 years but people are screaming to keep him.

It's insane.

Cowboys fans overrate this teams players possibly worse than the FO...just look at the clamor from preseason for proof. Our first 3 draft picks were all going to battle for DROY.

Insane.

What players have done that?

I can search it but I for sure remember Lamb on the sidelines in a track suit getting a penalty for touching a official. Thar was just as stupid.

 

[nate dizzle]

Wait until he makes a game winning play Sunday against SF.
Some of you will be really mad at him, because we won.

He'd have to make it to the 4th quarter to do that...

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Impossible question to answer because nobody had been dumb enough to do it yet!

Oh there have been plays as dumb you dont remember Lamb on the sideline and getting a penalty for hitting a official?

Different topic. Cutting him would be dumb. That doesn't mean he is good, it just means he is cheap and with our crappy depth chart this year, worth keeping. Bringing him back next year when he will need to get a raise becomes a different topic for sure

Yeah, Jimmy picked the groceries and jerry swiped the credit card. Lol

Exactly. And Jerry was jealous of Jimmy getting credit. Jerry’s ego is bigger than Texas and it’s his biggest downfall

Bro. Lamb is an All Pro with a massive contract that has rarely missed time. Overshown is an expendable JAG that has flashed a handful of times over 3 years and missed more games than he's made big plays.

This is a swing and a miss.

 

[jazzcat22]

He is here for rest of this year. Maybe they offer him a contract similar to what the did with Armstrong, to prove himself even more. To stay healthy. But will not break them if they need to release him.

Or they could let him test the FA market. And move on.

You just said nobody has done something as stupid.

But you're kind of proving my point. You want them to cut a jag who never plays for the sake of culture lol. What on earth would that do? Trading or holding a guy like Lamb accountable would do what you are claiming you want.

I'd never cut Lamb im just saying that would have more of a impact than cutting a jag....

That's all im saying.

What is a low-IQ-sub-Saharan? What did he mean by that?

It seems to me that the OP is trying to make the players race an issue here.

To understand his true meaning you need to ask him.

Cutting DO sends the message to the team that you're not going to tolerate stupidity.

Cutting Lamb sends the message to the team that you're stupid.

You have to pick your battles and moments with these things. If I fire a nurse who has been with a facility for years and is an exemplary employee over a med error, I'm an idiot and the staff would revolt. If the same thing happens to a nurse that calls out all the time and consistently shows up late, they thank me for cleaning out the dead weight.

Hope I cleared that all up.

The team just cut Reddy Steward. A jag. He played poorly and made stupid mistakes. Will this have a positive impact on culture? I highly doubt it.


For the record I understand your thinking I think you just overrate the impact it would have on the culture. The culture will never improve until Jerry is far away from this team.

I’d love to understand. Because it sounds……

Must have thought he was still on Twitter...

Guy must watch Jaylon Smith tape. How to run around and do nothing. Occasionally blow someone up.

Must have. Or, a COD lobby!

He got that penalty because his track suit was from the Velour line of "Juicy Couture"

Flagrant foul.

Wouldn’t that be a fragrant foul?

I will let myself out…….

Alas, velour clothing went the way of Landau roofs.

Although it was surprising when curb-feelers made a comeback
