Covering the TE? lol you are joking?

I agree David B is a very athletic Kicker..but i don't think he could ever cover a TE
I dunno.. which DB was it that he was beating in a race a few years ago?

Yeah, except that isn't true. I can give you examples if you need an education. Or you can continue to believe a bunch of crap. Your call.

Yes. "Educate" me. And make it at least 12 paragraphs or I'll question your "victory".


Without knowing what was offered, and none of us do, if anything was (it could have been a ploy to try and drum up interest), tell me how we have missed maximum value. Wow me.

I don't know what's so tricky here. Even a conditional 7th is better than an outright release where you get nothing.

You'd have to pretend the Cowboys didn't get one offer for Choice to think a release was a good option. Otherwise, they lose value in a player they cut free when they could have gotten something for him.

See, something is better than nothing. Consider yourself wowed.


Oh, that's right. They needed to see Murray first before letting go of such a key contributor like Tashard Choice. Shame on me for thinking my GM should have eyes at practice.

I think had Felix not been injured Dallas may have been able to get something for Choice but I don't blame Garrett for seeing how 2 rookies would do in a game before I release the only vet in the backfield. I think it was just bad timing on the Felix injury and the coaches had to prepare for the worst and hope for the best
How dare you make sense? Maximize your fantasize.

He does have eyes at practice it is called a Head Coach.

Someone has to use some common sense around here instead of the emotional outburst

I'm smart enough to know you could have gotten something for Choice in trade. I don't need to read the fake GM's comments about getting calls. I already know he got those calls. Just like I know he's been offered something for Martellus Bennett as well.

Based on what? Adam Schefter? Calvin Watkins?

I'm not going to defend Jerry as a GM. He's made good moves, and he's made bad ones. And maybe he did get offered something for Choice, and Bennett, for that matter. If he did, then I can look at it now and say I wish he would have made the deals. But I have neither seen, heard, nor read anything that gives clear proof that offers were actually made. Only speculation and hearsay.

I work in the health care profession. I'm no genius, and I'll be the first to admit that at times my idiocy knows no bounds. But I perform and analyze research all the time, and one of the worst mistakes you can make is to assume facts that aren't in evidence - to draw conclusions based on what you think or believe, as opposed to what is actually proven.

If there is actual, hard proof that Jerry received any offers for those two players, fine. You win. Until then, I'll employ the privilege of the old "unless you know the exact terms of the trades they weren't really offered" defense, because it's the proper course of action. Does that mean I'm defending Jerry as a whole? Not at all. I'm just reserving judgement until I have actual facts.

As for a what a "proper GM" does, well, thank you for enlightening us all. Maybe you should send a memo to every team in the NFL, because every team cuts players without getting anything in return.

I just want to say thanks to all the great dallas cowboy fans. My time in Dallas has come to an end and the best is yet come. God bless.


Dude, you just got booted from America's team. You had plenty of opportunities to prove your "best". Good luck finding that "best" with some other RB deficient team.

But you are correct that a windy, snowy game may prove his worth. Time will tell.

We still have to play alot in the East , weather is definately a factor. If Buehler keeps teams starting position at the 20 yard line, this will be major for special teams. This is alot better for us in bad weather than Choice handling the ball. Ooops, laid another one on the carpet. :eek:

Also, has anyone considered the idea that maybe Beuhler is insurance if McBriar goes down...

...or possibly our future punter? :p:

Choice came in sounding like a man and someone with the humble vision of how special the opportunity to play in the NFL and for the Dallas Cowboys truly is.

He has now left this historical organization with the truly cold reality that any other immature, lost, unfocused and arrogant mind would eventually hit.

Whether it is football or in our own lives, lets learn from Tashard Choices mistakes.

Unique opportunity that is qualified as such should never be wasted but cherished.

Good luck Tashard and remember what got you were you were and do whatever it takes to re-kindle that mind set.

Great post.

Similarly, in the legal field, you can find yourself in quite the pickle by assuming facts in evidence.

Love your closing paragraph, too.

Yep. I think this is probably the case.

What if what was offered was a player swap for a player or players we didn't value higher than players already on our roster? Is that something better than nothing?

The fact is, without knowing what the trade scenarios actually were, it's premature to criticize the team for not making a trade. Not that that ever stops anybody here from overreacting. See: cutting Jesse Holley.

Uh, what? He plays on kickoff coverage units? So does every other kicker. The term 'kickoff specialist' will always make me lol. Bailey is our kicker.

Bailey wont run up in the pile like David B does.

Same guy complaining, will be the same guy ready to lynch Bailey on poor kickoffs that cost us games
