Today Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said at a brief presser that QB Dak Prescott is “having his best offseason program that we’ve had.” He later said that Dak’s “connection with receivers is better.” Went on to say “The real test will be when we get to training camp,” but “the passing game has met all spring thresholds.” Yada yada.

Note to Cowboys front office, coaches and players: Sometimes silence is golden. When your fan base has been hyped, sold, re-sold and hyper-hyped again and again and again….just give it a rest. Especially after the most embarrassing playoff loss in the 64 year history of this franchise.

What should McCarthy, the players and especially the Jones boys be saying? Maybe just once they could simply make generic, simple statements with ZERO hype and ZERO salesmanship and ZERO bravado. For example:
  • “These press conferences will be brief this season.”
  • “This season we are going to let the results do all the talking. We are not going to comment on any specific players right now.”
  • ”These guys are working hard.”
  • ”We’re focused on our work, getting better at each position.”
  • ”When you have a disappointment like last year, you show up to work hard, stay humble and get better.”
  • ”Most practices are open to the press. You can observe who looks good and report accordingly.“
It will never happen. But I would sure welcome a change from the usual over-hyped gobbledy-goop we get starting this time of year. We don’t need to be sold anything.

Show us…don’t tell us.

It would be awesome if they gave the "sale" a rest.

We are at the point where most Cowboys fans won't feel confident with a 17-0 one seed. Admit it, most of you would have that creeping feeling down inside, just waiting for the accident to happen.

We need to be shown, not told, not sold, but shown in the playoffs.

We are working to improve upon last season.
We are where we want to be in our off season programs.

The players are grasping the schemes and what we expect from them very well, and going as planned.

The food has been adequate. :laugh:

I agree. When I saw what he described as better, I was like what? Why would you even say anything at all? It just makes the entire thing look silly. It’s like he was giving a generic answer and was caught off guard when called upon to expand, and quickly thought of something. It sounded silly.

But it could just be us feeling burnt out by the PR machine.

It would actually be refreshing to see the entire organization just be quiet for a while. Honestly, if they told me the sun was shining I would have to see it for myself to believe it.

Really? I think it will snow in Dallas on July 4th before Bill Belechick is here as HC. He hates a circus atmosphere and we have a three ringer here. He’s an all time great but he’s a decade older than another all time great whose time had come to an end at 64 - Tom Landry. Sometimes the game passes up even great coaches like Landry and Belechick.

Every Coach gets past up without a QB.

Some people prefer a Bill Belichick type of atmosphere around here...

If only all the front office people were like Tom Landry and all the players were like Larry Allen.

However, when you can't show it on the field then all you have left is talk.

The more a team wins, the less necessary the hype.

We're an accident waiting to happen allergic to prosperity!!! Lol
