The Cowboys Must Franchise Tag Marty B

[Blue Eyed Devil]

The argument for franchise tagging Anthony Spencer has made me realize that it's actually Marty B that must be tagged! Here, allow us to apply the argument to both players

We must keep (Anthony Spencer / Marty B) because he is #2 at his position in the NFL [Marty B is the best #2 TE in the NFL behind Aaron Hernandez]. We can't replace (Anthony Spencer / Marty B) with (Victor Butler / Jon Phillips) at all! Sure (Victor Butler / Jon Phillips) is good in the passing game but his impact in the running game doesn't match (Anthony Spencer / Marty B) and that's just so extremely important. We can't replace (Anthony Spencer / Marty B) with a less expensive free agent like (Matt Roth / Jason Tamme) they just aren't very good and you're silly for suggesting it. Furthermore, if we let (Anthony Spencer / Marty B) go we're just creating another hole on this team. Finally, (Anthony Spencer / Marty B) graded out great by Pro Football Focus so they must be great players!

Therefore the only option is the use the franchise tag on (Anthony Spencer / Marty B).

So the only thing left to do is franchise tag Marty B. It must be done, there is no other option!

you know what..you're right.

the unknown world is a scary place. let's not take a chance.

let's bring back the whole gang, give them a full offseason, and act like last year never happened.

Anthony Spencer is a productive starter who was listed as an All-Pro by SI two years ago and is well-regarded throughout the league. Martellus Bennett is not.

It is really sad you are so emotionally invested in getting rid of Spencer because this just means you are going to be butthurt when we keep him. Don't get so emotionally invested in this crap.

Last I heard SI had very little to do with real All Pro teams.
So what if he got hot for 6 games?
Ain't seen that player for 2 years.
One step up from a JAG.

Marty B is the 2nd best #2 TE, just like Anthony Spencer is the 2nd best #2 OLB. Isn't that what we are told?

oh my...you are such a risk taker!!! no franchise tag? how will we survive? weren't you happy with the defense last year? well it doesn't come free, sir. we have to be willing to pay in order to bring back the gang and continue the process.

marty b is awful

The point being that Spencer is well-regarded in the league, despite the fact that an alarming number of ignorant fans we have can't seem to grasp that fact because they can't get past their unmet expectations of Ware 2.0 and realize that he is actually a solid player.

you're right. how dare the fans use their eyes to determine the worth of a player.

Marty B isn't a starter. Spencer is. Nice try, though.

You guys really are falling for this BS thread? The user is a fit thrower all over the board when it comes to anything Spencer related. They poster only made this thread for some more fit throwing.

It's sad, but we can't control the 10 year olds in the ranks. It's rampant here, unfortunately.

i would be sick to know we would pay that sorry a&& marty b that kind of money if we franchised him.

It's not your eyes, it's those little brains that interpret what your eyes are seeing.


Here's some reality for you to consider.........

The Cowboys were an average team, maybe a little better than average.
The Cowboys' defense was average, maybe a little worse than average.
Spencer was an average NFL player on that defense, maybe a little better than average.

The problem you and many here have with the Cowboys and especially Spencer, is your problem with average and what it means.

You hate average sooo much, you don't want to just throw out the baby with the bath water....no that's not enough, you have to burn down the house as well.

The Cowboys defense needs to improve. Some here and apparently within the Cowboys organization feel improving the weakest positions is what makes sense.

You do realize this is a fishing thread right?

Ohmy...!! FISH ON!!!
