Recognizing and addressing needs

[Mannix]

Other than maybe Iowa Football and Basketball, I know of NO ORGANIZATION in all of sports that after seasons end so easily convinces themselves that all they need is a little tweaking, and that nothing major needs to be done. It is already plain to see that we are in for EXACTLY the same BS next year with this team....I cannot take it anymore.

If you tell a lie often enough you can even convince yourself it's the truth

It is easier to recognize the need than to fix it.

It would be nice if you established a position on the Cowboys.

Guess I'm a little different, I can't wait for the draft and the hope that it provides. Giving in so early takes so much away from me, and that hopeful anticipation is a price too high for me to pay. Next year will be different, and I'm already standing in line
Go Cowboys

This reads like a suicide note.

You okay?

Just remember what George Costanza said. It’s not a lie if you believe it

Thanks for your concern, I'm ok, but as a fan I live for the next time that we have the ball. That of course that will be the draft and I'm looking forward to that drive ending in a touchdown

Did it all season....you been reading? Tired of Jerrah not doing anything to rid us of The Clapping Carrot and his Bat Utility Belt. Tired of watching 60/40 mix crowds in that stupid stadium with zero home field advantage.

You should protest. Self-Immolation at a Cowboys game would be a good option for you.

More Zeke drama (suspended...not suspended...suspended...not suspended) that lasts all season?

Ok then. I guess it's bye bye Mannix. Chill, relax, come in off the ledge, enjoy life. Obviously you should get rid of things in your life that bring you down. If you're into mental BDSM I guess that's an entirely different thing

as an Iowa Alumni I feel your pain. I had hopes for Fran but they are diminishing; and that could just be the continuing nightmares left over from the lick years; and have wanted Ferrentz gone for years.

By the way Cowboy fans if you look up the definition of worst all time coach the name Todd Lickliter SHOULD be there.

I love the draft. It's my fave 3 days of the year but I don't hold out the eternal hope that we have a draft class to turn this team around.

Every year I read how our class will take us over the top.
Well it's basically failed. Our first rounders have generally been hits but the rest of our drafts have failed to become the core of this team....

 

[Deep_Freeze]

Well if we just blame last season on not having Zeke and saying everything is fine so we go bargain shopping in free agency again....well he might have a right to be upset.

I just spat my coffee...LMAO!

Of course they tweak, they don't have that money to spend. When they did and were spending, all of you were crying that they spend too much. They're philosophy is to spend on their own, they go after higher price guys, but get outbid because other teams with money, throw out crazy contracts.

So how many games do you attend?

Recognizing need and addressing it in ways that translate to a better team are not easy to achieve.

This organization is led by a GM that qualified for the job with his checkbook, so...there’s always that to contend with and overcome when trying to build a quality organization and roster.

IMO, the biggest need this team always seems to be facing is clearly identifying what it is trying to become, and how far they have come in achieving that. Clearly, they think we are close, but this FO always seems to have a sunny disposition about the team regardless of circumstances.

The best, most consistent teams have a philosophy of what kind of team they plan to build and that makes drafting and FA decisions easier. (See NE, Pitts, Sea, and GB) And it’s also important to know the health of your culture and chemistry and find players that fit into your culture and even strengthen it.

Jerrah needs to take both Barta and The Clapping Carrot hunting into some deep woods.
