PFT Turd Toss: Cowboys Implosion Coming?

[Maikeru-sama]

I have been thinking this all year. Parcells is like my 75 year old neighbor who has a Corvette in his garage....only drives it 45 MPH on the highway.

I needed a new sig line and now I have found it.

 

[Cajuncowboy]

Why do people write this crap. This sounds more like wishful thinking than anything else.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Well until we make it through a couple drafts without taking guys on the first day that shouldn't be taken until day two, then perceptions like this are going to continue.

 

[ChrisCanty99]

A source close to Mike Florio says Florio's a classic Cowboys hater and closet Commanders fan. Further evidence includes continual dissing of Emmitt and Michael in their broadcasting careers, while his poor grammar and constant typos are somehow unworthy of self-derision.

Reports out of Florio's basement indicate that should Dallas win decisively on Sunday and go on to the Super Bowl, Florio's dreams of a perfect Patsie post-season could get all blowed-up.

Additionally, Florio is said to be on ice so thin at the Sporting News, he could find himself fired within the next 18 months and might have to go back to practicing law, which pays so much worse than being an internet hack.

COWBOYS IMPLOSION COMING?

There's a sense in some league circles that, regardless of how the 2007 season turns out for the Dallas Cowboys, a decline is on the way.

As one source said, Dallas is "going to be a disaster within two years."

The problem? Per the source, owner/G.M. Jerry Jones is "believing it's about him again, just like he did when Jimmy Johnson brought them to the top."

The source predicts that former head coach Bill Parcells and former V.P. of college and pro scouting Jeff Ireland are "going to pick them clean," and that Jones is going to let it (continue to) happen, because Jones thinks he doesn't need them.

The result? "They'll go back to drafting Quincy Carter, Ebenezer Ekuban, Solomon Page, Dwayne Goodrich, Tony Dixon, and Antonio Bryant," opined the source.

The other concern is the approach of coach Wade Phillips. As the source observed, the "coach-lets-us-act-like-men" approach quickly results in the inmates running the prison.

It's hard to disagree. After all, would quarterback Tony Romo have taken a bye-week trip to Cabo San Lucas if the Tuna were still the head coach? Maybe, but Romo would be walking a little funny this week, given that he'd have Parcells shoe lodged into his descending colon.

*yawn* profootball(trash)

I don't know why people immediately dismiss this. Jerry essentially minimized Ireland's contribution as a "data collector".

What kind of scouting talent is going to come to Dallas knowing there isn't any real ladder to climb and knowing that your work is going to be dismissed when you leave?

Ciskowski has been with Dallas since '92. So although he gets credit for some good drafts, he was also around during the awful ones as well.

The team essentially lost its top three scouts this year. It's definitely something to be concerned about.

It wouldn't surprise me too much. But the ball is in Jerry's hands, now we get to see what he does with it.

QFT

Whats PFT? Anyone?

I mean how can a team function by losing personal; I mean the Pats lost coaches and Front office people and look they now suck.

Jerry could not have stopped Jeff from leaving period end of story so what was Jerry going to do shot him.

Oh he let gaines go somewhere he wanted to wow he let a guy receive a promotion . Who says Jerry does not have someone behind gaines to promote to his spot that deserve the opportunity.

The sports media is desperate to report anything even complete and utter garbage. I got a better idea why not talk about what game plans you think each team should be implementing in the playoffs.

That is right because 90% of sports media is now the national inquirer now

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Funny, I just googled profootballtalk to see some of their old nonsense, and they were sure Parcells was going to blow his top over Hamstringate last year. They even claimed that T.O. would likely be cut in training camp!

Then there was another one after Parcells had quit claiming that now Jerry was going to have to admit that Owens was a huge mistake. (And that's 100% Jerry's mistake, of course.)

In other words, it's just more of the same "Jerry's a stupid rube and he'll fail without Parcells" baloney.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Yep.

The source is probably his couch potato buddy.

You know thats exactly it. Unless it says 'source within the organization' I could care less.

 

[The30YardSlant]

Regardless of whether or not that article has any legit points (it doesnt), let's look at what we've got:

Romo (Not going anywhere)
Witten (Not going anywhere)
TO (Going to retire a Cowboy)
Crayton (Not going anywhere)
Barber (Will probably have a new contract before the SB)
Davis (Not going anywhere)
Gurode (Not going anywhere)
Ware (Not going anywhere)
Newman (Not going anywhere)
Henry (Not going anywhere)
Ellis (Going to retire a Cowboy)
Hamlin (Not going anywhere)
Williams (Despite many of your uneducated wishes, he shouldnt and wont go anywhere)
Ratliff (Not going anywhere)

We won't be devoid of talent for a very long time. I don't see how Parcells will "pick us dry" when there is little to pick. He wants Jacques Reeves? Let him have him. He wants Julius Jones? Adios, mofo.

 

[Coakleys Dad]

I have a feeling Hamlin will go for money, not loyalty. I hope hes here.

I only count two scouts............who is the third?

 

[silverbear]

PFT needs to read up about Tom Ciskowski and Mike Murphy. Clearly they think Ireland was the only real talent in Valley Ranch. He wasn't. Not by a long shot.

What do you expect from the Daily Turd??

Florio runs the National Enquirer of football websites, he never met a rumor-- no matter how completely ignorant the rumor might be-- that he didn't like...

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Adios, mofo.

Classic.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I'm guessing their "source" is not a Cowboy fan. I'm not sure how this team can fall into such decline within two years.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

Its going to be hard to suck with a good Quarterback.

PFT is one of the many that claimed Romo wouldn't have a good season this year because "coaches got tape on him" and other nonsense. We really shouldn't allow PFT stuff on here, the guy has almost zero contacts inside the league that are not player agents and he just guesses off of stuff he reads on the net, and even worse...claims he breaks news when somebody else broke it first.
