Blah Blah Blah I'm sure we know better than Jerry and his scouting department. Blah Blah Blah I'm sure you know better than Jerry why doesn't he just hire you. Well we haven't won a playoff game in nearly a decade maybe some people on this board would have built a team thats actually won something by now if given the chance. Heck they couldn't do much worse.

What makes you think you couldn't do worse?

Hubris...it applies here.

Jerry and the braintrust can be questioned, since you can argue the results have not be exemplary in nearly a decade. It is allowed. Hubris be damned I will risk offending the gods.

Your assumption any jake legged poster here could do better.

Funny how there are a wealth of players who people have drooled over that are still on the board.

Yet these same people have ridiculed the brain trust because the name brands weren't selected.

Just because I know you make all left turns in NASCAR doesn't make me qualified to be a driver.

Jerry Jones and Bill Parcels drafted like they have already won the superbowl. Drafting project players in the 3rd a TE in the second and Carpenter in the 1st (that was ok).

But from a Fans point of view, I still remember getting whipped bye the SKINS TWICE. How the Cowboys could not cover anyone late in the season. How the OL couldn't stop anyone. They drafted who, think about that who did they draFT! Project players.

Now if they turn out to be the next Bill Bates, Reggie White or Jay Novacek then so be it, but can you aford to gamble with players when you can't even make in to the playoffs

I guess you haven't paid attention-- but believe it or not the Cowboys signed a bunch of free agents to help solidify many of the positions.

If you want I'll forward you the list. ;)

I could easily see our team being better off over the past ten years with Silverbear or AdamJ13 calling the shots. Its hard not to. We haven't won Jack. zip. nada. nothing in a decade. Thats pretty abysmal. I will never blindly trust Jerry until he can prove that he can win a playoff game without Jimmy's Players.

Would that be like taking Lawson and switching his position.

Wouldn't he be a gamble?

Your assumption these are projects is your opinion.

The tight end will play a great deal. As will the linebacker.

If they get quality time in a rotation with the DE., then we have made a bold and brilliant move.

Plus, what if this guy is here because we plan to deal Ellis now?

What's it going to be then, eh?

Majority of the FA's are suspect that we hope pan out, Last year who did we get to help the OL, did it help?

This year we got a couple more, used, questionable FA's for the OL, will it help?
Still the getting beat by the deep ball, Can't get a solid runnning game goin and TO has the potential to elevate the Cowboys or destroy them.




The Cowboys have only made the playoffs what 1 out the last 10 years?

You can get 6pack of Budweiser or 12 pack of plan lable
