Some of you will never be positive, or happy about anything

They certainly didn’t splurge in free agency with tier 1 players but it does look like they’ve gotten better quality this year. At least on paper.

I don't know. Fowler would be considered a quality signing coming off a 10-sack season. Of course, that's why he cost the most at $6 million, a price Dallas hasn't paid a FA in a long time.

OL Robert Jones ($3.75 million) was a starting lineman the Dolphins replaced in free agency before he signed with us. He started at left guard and allowed five sacks (1st the team), four quarterback hits (1st), 19 hurries (2nd), and 28 pressures (2nd). It looks like a better signing after drafting Booker because he's clearly now just depth.

DE Payton Turner ($3 million) failed as a first-round pick in New Orleans. His last year was his best and he only had two sacks, three QB hits and 21 tackles. I think he's here for the role that Golston had last year as a run-stopping end. At this point, I don't think anyone should be looking for him to become a major factor against the pass.

DT Solomon Thomas ($2.75 million this year, but a rare two-year FA deal) is kind of the opposite of Turner. He can add some pressure (3.5 sacks last year, which is decent for an interior lineman), but he's not necessarily a player you want out there trying to stop the run.

WR Parris Campbell ($1.3 million) barely got on the field for Philadelphia last season and wasn't much better for the Giants the previous season. He's battled all kinds of injuries and has had only one productive year.

RB Javonte Williams ($3 million) has averaged 3.6 and 3.7 YPC the last two seasons.

RB Miles Sanders ($1.3 million) has been even worse at 3.3 and 3.7.

LB Jack Sanborn ($1.5) wasn't even thought highly enough of by Chicago's front office to tender him as an RFA. Perhaps it was because he isn't that good in coverage.

OL Hakeem Adeniji ($1.1 million) and Saahdiq Charles ($1.5 million) also have some starting experience, but also appear to be questionable enough to not draw a lot of money.

I'm not sure that differs much from RB Royce Freeman (who'd averaged 4.1 YPC the year before we signed him), RB Ezekiel Elliott, LB Erik Kendricks, re-signing OL Chuma Edoga to be the primary backup, re-signing Jourdan Lewis to be the nickel corner, re-signing Rico Dowdle.

The players we signed and traded for are fill-ins for the players we lost: Edoga as the swing tackle, Elliott/Dowdle as the running backs, Lawson as a pass-rushing DE, DeMarcus Lawrence/Golston as a run-stopping DE, Golston/Watkins as pass-rushing backup DT, Lewis as nickel corner, Kendricks as MLB and Cooks as the No. 2 receiver.

We also traded for Elam, Murray and Pickens to cover those losses.

Are the players we got an improvement over what we lost? That's hard to say for the most part. Most were cheap for a reason.

There’s a good documentary out on Netflix Untold: Shooting Guards that show’s what happens when you get off on poking people for a reaction. It’s about the Gilbert Arenas, Jarvaris Crittenhen locker room gun fiasco.

I actually been waiting to watch that. Looked good.

We've seen it before:
One best off season ever.
Best shape of my life.
We love our guys.

But you demand we believe it THIS time.

No talking. Show us.

Fine don't believe it. Hilarious.

Finish this statement. For me I’m going to say some of you will never be positive, or happy about anything. There’s no winning for you! When the drought is over, you will find a way to poop on it somehow someway…

Look, I’ve callled out Jerry and Sons as much as anyone the last year and a half and even for the better part of three decades. But don’t be so ridiculously pompous, that when they do something decent or that makes sense, you have to drag it in the dirt a few times before you’re Alishasatisfied that enough of you’re type of company is on the same page. Misery loves company!!!

We’ve been begging for this type of off-season for a lot of years. It’s been nonexistent. Most of you here either didn’t take economics, or didn’t do well in any type of applied mathematics, so you don’t understand the math behind the scenes. You gripe about everything because you have a lack of understanding. Theres no hope for this group. With what the FO has to work with, and what they must accomplish this off-season, they have actually done a good job so far in 25’. If you can’t say that now, you will have no right to change your tune , if the moves they have made this offseason prove to be successful!

My point with all of this is even if you are a hopeless fan, there can be days where you have to admit some decisions they make are a win for the team. You don’t have to continue the negativity to the point where you look like the person you’re claiming you hate! There will be plenty of reasons to do that later. Be happy when they actually do a good thing!!!

This is why the Cowboys are the most valuable team in sports. I have to hand it to Jerry he does enough to con the fans into thinking the Cowboys are contenders. Don't hold your breath waiting for the drought to be over.

Things are moving in the right direction.

Ignore reality.

This time, it can't fall apart again, can it? After all, we drafted a guard in the 1st round, and a slightly above average one at that! As we all know...guards are the key to championships. Just believe....again

Some of you just seem to have short, medium and long term memory issues.

I thought call out threads were against board rules............


So one side is allowed to call out the other but it doesn't go both ways??

If I wanted to call you out, I’d call you out. This is far from a callout post!
