Ten things you might not know about Will McClay

[MonsterD]

This thread is why we can't have nice things and why this board is in articles-infamously.

 

[visionary]

This fan base is so desperate they will cling to any semblance of mediocrity for dear life

Even one that led them to 4-12 record

Unless of course (heaven forbid) the great savior and team builder (second in this regard only to the legendary Red Garrett) Will McClay was not involved in the decision to keep one Brandon Weeden as our back up QB

Agreed
Fans pointing out inconvenient facts are the reason for the teams failures not the FO or coaching staff

He mentioned nothing about the teams failures or the FO or coaching..... He mentioned This Message Board

Wow. Just wow.

Does not say much for what has been done since then, does it.

You have a gift for overstating the obvious. Tell me what has been done after the triplets? Nothing. But that's just getting on a tangent from my point. Will McClay is football genius. The Cowboys are very lucky to have him aboard.

Okay, you got me. Epic troll skills. Well done.

Your go to move (playing the troll card) doesn't defend anything you just said. It's just an attempt to deflect the fact that you have nothing of substance to add that contradicts what I said. If you disagree then state your case. If you can't then don't bother replying at all. Arrogance and bluster and BS is all you ever spout out and I am calling you out on it. Your "Troll Troll Troll" alarm is not a defense of the utter idiocy you fling all over this board with liberal regularity. Have something of substance to say when you reply or don't even bother. Will McClay should be the GM of this team and he would be if it were not for the Jones family.

I honestly didn't know he was a 49 yr old black man. I always assumed it was some 60 something year old white dude. For whatever reason

Also green bay is lucky to have the best qb in the NFL.

Also gb just had one of its most unproductive seasons where said qb complained about the team not doing enough to improve it around him.

Also if you Google Ted Thompson and dissatisfied... There are a number of articles blaming him for wasting Rodgers' golden years. And this is your shining example?

All true.

 

[reddyuta]

I am not really impressed.IF he was genius then why has our drafts sucked outside of the first 2 RDs?,I feel like they just pick a dart and hit the draft board and 1-2 RDs with predictable results.He needs to produce a good draft before we buy this hype.

 

[JoeBoBBY]

They go 4-12 next year, I hope all of them leave, including Will. All of them. the trainers, water boy, HC, scouts, , heck even Romo.

I don't think there should be too many "feel good, what a great talent" stories coming from the Dallas Cowboys organization these days.

 

[Hoofbite]

Will McClay once hosted the Grammy's and gave every award to Corey Hart.

He named the group Sha Na Na. They did not want to be called that.

Why would you say that?

 

[MonsterD]

Why would you say that?

Nice things was a joke. But it really is ridiculous how everyone took that a story on McClay to repeat like a parrot 4-12, 4-12.

 

[casmith07]

I'm a big fan of Will McClay.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

At the very least, Hayden has been solid and shown up for work each and every day.

Solid and shows up for work.

God help us. Are we this desperate for mediocrity?

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

That's actually 11 things. I didn't know he was a draft guru either.

Jimmy Johnson. Now there was a draft guru. That or he had good advisers.

(And, yes, dear lads and laddies, he did have a bus dropping off players almost every day. But Jimmy's genius was knowing which ones to keep and which to throw back into the pond.)

 

[TheDude]

Nice things was a joke. But it really is ridiculous how everyone took that a story on McClay to repeat like a parrot 4-12, 4-12.

That doesnt seem to resolve. Someone brought up 12-4 on page 2 and the first mention of 4-12 was in a reply on page 3 and 2 more after your post.

 

[CCBoy]

This is exactly my point, Nothing has Translated into Success. IF this team was able to develop or bringing in talent it would NOT BE so inconsistent. McClay has not done anything different...

History repeats itself....the numbers dont lie.
2009 11-5 One and done in the playoffs
2010 6-10 Wade gets Fired
2011 8-8
2012 8-8
2013 8-8
2014 12-4
2015 4-12

Cherry picker for effect!

2007 - *(under Wade Phillips) 13-3
2009 - *(under Wade Phillips) 11-5
2014 - *(under Jason Garret) 12-4

That is three very successful seasons in the last eight seasons.

Some Cowboy fans like him and some think he is a good thing for the cowboys and that idea of people liking him (whether it is liking him too much or not) drives some here crazy. I will tell you this, if the new guy Lionel Vital gets any good praise from the cowboy fans there will be some coming out to poo poo on that as fast as they can as well. Never mind that Jerry has final say on the draft and transactions. If someone appears to be doing a decent job and the fans like it, even if some of it is over the top...you can guarantee that a few will come in to poo poo all over it.

Just saying, there are services that take care of porta-potties.
