Re-air 2014 Draft now- Manziel/Zach

[big dog cowboy]

Yep

Your comments were that you were "smiling" that we passed on Manziel and that Martin would be a pro Bowl OG.

I was being conservative when I used the word 'smiling' as we passed on JF. Especially when the actual pick was Martin. Just about the time I stopped celebrating, Cleveland traded up to draft that idiot. Eruption time again in my household. What a great day that was.

Goofy that I kept all that. I've been wrong plenty.
It wasn't the right or wrong part as much as the venom from the pro Manziel side. I can't ever recall it being that bad around here for 2-3 months running.

I know I was one happy camper as I was in the no way in hell do I want Johnny football camp.

Really missing the search feature about now lol

I'm sure you'll find 5-6 of them (maybe way more) in the time frame Feb-April 2015 in the draft zone.

I got so tired of all the posts about ruing the day or guarantees about this or that, that I put togther a spread sheet with those for and those against...and with quotes in the many cases....just so later I wouldn't have to search.
The only other time I've done that on here over all these years is when we were doing record predictions and someone asked to keep track. I have one of those for 2014 as well. Lol

I have an older laptop that I never use, maybe Ill see if it has some links saved. But again, anyone can go back and find this stuff...but its a hassle.

Ahhh....I was looking in the wrong place(fan zone) but I did find a thread about passing on JM would be Moss 2.0

Every time a team ahead of us passed on Manziel, my stress level would rise. I don't remember who had the pick ahead of us, but when they didn't pick Manziel, I yelled out the f word. In the minutes leading up to our pick, I couldn't sit down. I was standing in front of the tv with my hands on top of my head saying "Don't do it Jerry, don't do it", over and over and over. When Goodell was announcing the pick, all I could say was "no, no, no, no, no, no". Then when he finally read Martin's name, RELIEF! I had no idea who Martin was, but I didn't care. He wasn't Johnny Manziel, and he wouldn't be bringing a circus to town! What an awesome pick, especially considering the disaster that could've happened if they had listened to Jerry.

You and me both. I was really hoping someone would take him off the board before we had a shot.

I was hoping they would say "Calvin Pryor", but was pleasantly surprised that Martin was the pick.

For me that's when I felt like I could take the Cowboys FO a little more seriously. They didn't make the mistake everyone just KNEW they would.

I'd think NT? It'll take a toll on his body like it did Ratliff, since he seems a tad undersized for it. From what I remember the Ends in a 3-4 didn't do much for us, and they were bigger than Donald I think.

Makes you wonder why they're making the move, did they hire a new DC this season? Square peg cliche comes to mind and still fresh in my memory as to the reasoning behind our switch a couple of seasons back; wasting our DL/LB talent on D, specifically (Ware). Hatcher seemed like the only player who benefited; even Lee was better in the 3-4 scheme.

Right there with you.

The loudest pro Johnny Football guys were often the harshest Romo critics

Gameover (Manziel in Dallas is a match made in football heaven", Section444 (johnny sets up Dallas for a decade), noshame(we can dream. Jerry should move upt top10), DOUBLEWING (would cry tears of joy), Zordon ("please God", would be happiest man on earth), ufc (of course..overthe top as always), Frozen (would give up 1s, 3rd, 5th for him),
and nearly 80 others.
lol

It was pretty amazing.

@Zordon. Come on, homie! I won't hold it against you, though.

 

[stilltheguru88]

I wanted Aaron Donald and still do.

Not over Zachary Martin you don't

 

[ConstantReboot]

Not over Zachary Martin you don't

I'm brutally honest. I did want him over Martin. That was then. Still, would love to have Donald on our team.

LOVE the man-up ownership

It's ok Z...own it brother!
I wouldn't lie about something so trival.

Here's just one of your many quotes if you need help remembering. (3/28/14)

"I'm praying/fasting to the football gods.
Please, after suffering thru a decade plus of NFL purgatory, the least they could do is throw us this bone to get a little excitement going for our team again. JFF + Jerry Jones = match made in heaven."

you are right that it was football gods and no actual God getting the prayers. .lol

Here's another of many...

Funny clip.
But as it turns out, it was not fake news, I even attached the actual thread with comments. So full backup.

I saw. That's equally .
@Zordon is a cool dude. I'd drink a beer with him.

On NFL network now. Pick coming up.

I had 6 friends and we were all jumping up and down screaming at the television. We were all hoping for Martin, but even more so hoping it wasn't Manziel. I think this draft was a big change in direction for the organization. If Jerry truly had his way he would have picked Johnny Football. The fact we picked Martin instead to me shows Stephen finally had actual influence on his old man.
