Talent Evaluation

McClay is overrated.

He falls into the no-accountability leadership Dallas has going. Things that turn out are "proof" that they are good, players that bust are just bad luck. No one's fault.

Geez. One bad season, ravaged by injuries at that, and you guys are all jumping off cliffs.

Still believe Jerry can bring you to the Promised Land lol?

I know this is not really a new topic, but as I’m watching college football, I can’t help but realize that I was fooled. I see great players that I know we won’t draft.

I was one who thought Will McClay, being a shadow GM, was doing a great job. At least 2022 and before.

Now, it seems obvious that we’ve lost our way from an organizational perspective and our scouting is no longer viable.

Before they had to offset the crazy and McClays team had been somewhere able to resist the stupidity of Stephen and Jerry, but I’ve lost what faith I had.

We had two picks in 2022, one in 2021 and two in 2020.

Pretty crappy overall.

It just feels bad that what was the one thing we all tried to say “but we draft well …” is now an outdated opinion.

We haven't drafted well since 2016.

As I said to someone else, some of you are just consumed by Jerry hate. This thread was talking about McClay not Jerry. Plenty of other threads for that.

It all starts and end with Jerry. He poisons any endeavors the Cowboys attempt because his main goal is to make money over and above winning.

McClay and the personnel department have certainly missed on more than they’ve hit the last few drafts.

Let’s hope they don’t screw up this upcoming high draft pick.

McClay actually needs to move on. He sucks at identifying traits of low-motor players.

You sound miserable.

You sound miserable.

Not at all. As a fan, once you realize the franchise is micromanaged and controlled by a hubristic, narcissistic moron, you’re never miserable because you know it’s going to fail. Sure, you become apathetic, but so what? This fan base needs way more apathy given Jerry is the source of all that is wrong and he needs to leave or success measured in SB and Conference championships will never be attained. The best way to see his arse off into the sunset, absent dying, is for the fan base to bottom out and collapse.

He won’t spend money in FA because his main concern is maximizing profit and he’s a part-time GM that doesn’t know the job anywhere near well enough to be competent. It’s a great recipe for failure. Stop eating what Jerry is cooking. It’s freeing.

Looks like they get the number 1 rated player at their position no matter who they pick.

You mean like Trysten Hill and Kelvin Joseph?

 

[kskboys]

I don’t think the cowboys can miss this year at least in round 1 the needs are many and where they will pick there will be talent

Problem is nothing satisfies this fanbase so we’d find ways to complain even if we hit

There is merit to the discussion that the last 2 drafts are underwhelming

Sure would like to try that sometime!!!!

Lol, we were talking about the top of the draft not pick 45 to 50. Why make such a stupid remark?
