The divide of the Dallas Cowboy's fandom

[Dodger12]

One thing I've noticed about the posts after a win vs a loss that directly relates to the positivity vs negativity rationis that some posters don't post as much after a win as they do a loss. I know one very "I'm not a FAN" poster that didn't post at all during our 2014 long win streak.

You know, maybe his phone and/or computer died? It happens, just ask Dez.

For God's sake. Danny White was run out of Dallas because he lost 3 straight Conference Championship games. What would todays young Cowboys fans say if they had a player like Danny playing now. Heck, he would be a God.

Well some think Romo is better than Aikman and Staubach.

Well. They would be wrong!!! White was a much better technical QB than Tony.

That's cray cray, but I've seen it mentioned here, too. Effen cray cray

On a team, if you can deliver when it matters, and the team wins, that covers up everything. If you care, work hard, deliver, and are highly strung or a sore loser, or a difficult teammate, it doesn't matter. guys will go to war with guys who help them win, period.

They may not like them, they may not respect them all that much, but they accept them. Winning is a deodorant. Unique ability is a deodorant. There are 53 guys on a roster; not everybody likes everybody, but make as many plays as Dez does, and works like he does, and there's a spot on every team for that guy.

I can't stress this enough.......Tony and Dez are warriors and everyone on the team respects that......yes they have battled injuries and adversity(Romo early in his career) but you want those guys in your foxhole.......I always laugh at those that want to get rid of heart and soul guys......Imagine Romo on the 49ers and Dez on the Eagles.....that would be a nightmare

Dez on @Joe Realist's team would be a damn nightmare with the way Wentz is shaping up. I'm fine with dude having to pass the rock to Agholor (lol) and jag Matthews...

 

[Nightman]

Fans give Dez a hard time about his contract but that is a joke..........first off he had to wait 5 years to hit FA under the old CBA and then DAL told him they were hitting him with the Franchise Tag......it is smart business but it set his FA back another year or 2.......so he held out over OTAs, no big deal.......he signed a very fair market deal on July 15th and was there for the first day of camp...his broken foot had nothing to do with being out of shape or getting a new contract.....that is when the criticisms become absurd......Tony and Dez have to be physically restrained from returning with broken bones....that is old school dedication

Heck. I wouldn´t put Tony in the same class as Meredith or Morton. Romo is good but not in the same league has the former Cowboy greats.

Good post DC. You'll find most of the older fans around here are the salty guys that don't accept what Jerry is selling.

Boom! Obviously the salary cap era leveled the playing field but a lot of us got spoiled between the mid 60s to the mid 80's when you could basically count on making the playoffs and making a run every year. Not to mention rarely getting out coached. The Steeler teams that beat them in two SBs were more talented teams IMO. That loss to the Colts never should have happened though.

It took me quite awhile to move Romo past Danny White on my list. It was the 2014 team that convinced me we could have won with him had the team been set up better. There is no doubt though that Danny and the other 2 have had more accomplished Cowboy careers. Tony's career has been wasted here. All those stats and nothing to show for it.

Those early losses to the Packers hurt too. The ice bowl was a heartbreaker...I was just a kid...but still remember it.

Do blame any of that on Jerry (not being able to build a roster worth a dookie), or is this a Tony isn't clutch issue with you, PA? Some of each?

Tell you what. I put the 2014 season on the OL and a RB who gained 1800+ yrds in a career year. Tony was good..very good in fact..but there were over factors that contributed to the 12-4 season.

Troy and Roger are the 2 best QB's the Cowboys ever had by far ! Not even close to any other QB !

I give the majority of the blame to Jerry. If the team was set up better with a running game and strong defense then I don't think Romo would have taken as many chances. But you can't absolve him entirely even though he was the main reason we were even contending in the first place. And if you look at my posts before 2014 I was plenty hard on him.

No doubt about that. That's why I didn't like how they decided to get rid of Murray. Totally ruined any momentum we had going into 2015.

I've been here for a little while (joined 2013, but lurked since early 2012), you've always been one of my favorite posters, and I certainly remember your hard stances on him, brother

That was the shocker of that off season. I could not understand it. Sign Dez extend Jason and let 1800+ yards walk away. Go figure it out. It just proved that the Cowboys are not run like any other Club in pro sports.

Without a shadow of a doubt, Chris. I watched the last 3 years of Aikman's illustrious career, but have seen all of his Super Bowls, every second of them. What a clutch champion with the heart of a lion. Troy and Roger cannot be placed in the same sentence with any QB we have ever had. And I am a Romo fanboy

Well the Angels (MLB) and Arte Moreno are taking a run at Jerry's ineptitude.
