Stephen: We'll do some dramatic things

[MountaineerCowboy]

Whats funny is that people think I DONT WANT them to change. I am hoping for a good offseason.

I just dont trust this FO. And they have given me zero reason to.

They think wanting real change means you’re not really a fan.

A real fan blindly roots regardless of change. A real fan never criticizes or questions, even after 30 years of failure.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Yeah, we will see. Stephen considers a change in eye glass frames a "dramatic" change.

 

[ColeBeasley11]

So they are going to trade for Brandin Cooks again?

So funny like we didn’t just trade for all pro WR. Go cheer for another team then.

 

[Gambit]

Show me don’t tell me

Think maybe we can wait til FA starts,?

 

[Jipper]

Man I feel bad for you when this goes exactly how I think it will

like i said - what we have seen in the past couple of weeks is different, you have to agree / see that dont you?

I never said "this is going to be the year! This is going to be different!" - I am stating the facts that the approach this offseason IS different so far, that is a fact, plain and simple.

Should that continue then there is reason to beleive that we will see a change in the prior years approaches, how big of a change is yet to be determined.

However, I will say that I am happy with what has transpired so far in the past month and hopeful it continues based on the recent trends

In what way is this different?

They fired Eberflus? They did the same thing to Nolan when he had the title of worst defense in franchise history.

They have hired young coaches before. See Kellen Moore, Jason Garrett.

This isnt new. You have all just forgotten.

They have a poor track record so it’s warranted.

You are making generalized statements, and my point again is the speed at which they moved both on the firing and hires is a deviation from before, which is what I am stating.

Keep trying to find the negative- you started your dialogue with me by telling me you feel sorry for me when what you think is going to happen (or not happen) occurs - maybe try to compartmentalize this year from prior and look at the approach so far.

I think most of us would agree up to this point that the Cowboys have done a good job, the question is if it continues which I am choosing to speculate it will based on the approach so far.

You clearly are going to anchor on prior disappoint which is your prerogative- and for that i am sorry you are so jaded that you cant any optimism when there are things to feel good about - for that i feel bad for you

 

[Machete]

“Dramatic” by their standards carries no such luck.

 

[Gambit]

Do you not think they have been moving differently lately?

Im genuinely curious.

No. I am simply pointing out, they have done this before.

I have 30 years of evidence. You have 3 weeks.

Also I am not disagreeing they have done a good job, however, Dan Quinn wanted Wagner. Jerry said no. If Parker wants players and Stephen gets cheap (which based on his statements of "smart" signings) i believe will happen. Well, expect more of the same.

I dont care about their hiring processes. That means nothing to me. Show me by spending some actual money on players you didnt draft. Then I will be in the wow this is different camp.

 

[DallasEast]

Mr. Jones, change your title from Chief Operating Officer and Co-Owner to simply Co-Owner and 100% restrict yourself to it. That would literally be the single most dramatic thing you will have done in your nearly 62 years on Earth.

 

[fivetwos]

Plus it’s not like they haven’t lied to us before.

Even if they aren’t, and actually pull out the checkbook, they still have to get it right.

Didn’t they pay Murray like 7m last year?

They tend to double down on dumb, so I expect a similar approach, maybe just more of it.

 

[Bagman]

By 'dramatic' they mean that Jerry and Stephen will star in 'Of Mice and Men' in an off-Broadway play.

More like "Kinky Boots"

 

[Creeper]

Something really dumb can be dramatic too.

 

[Loso86]

SAME THING I'm feeling honestly I think they're going to be active and make some signings I really do

Yea maybe it's the recent coaching search coupled with trading for GP and QW while trading Parsons away

 

[Praxit]

Updates first post. Please change the title to "We'll do some dramatic things" so I dont get jumped by the Hawaiin Crips.

...too late, man. They raided the island of Maui. On they're way here.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Our fans will say some dramatic things.

 

[Scottishcowboy]

Ill be optimistic just to be contrarian because sarcastic cynical comments are a dime a dozen here

But that's all we have left !!!!!!!!

 

[Scottishcowboy]

I can’t wait for the record prediction poll to see the same ole names predicting 11 or 12 wins like they do every single year regardless of what the Cowboys do or don’t do this offseason.

Because your predictions have been so good the last 4 or so years?

Care to post them here for all to see ?
