So before things get started....you guys do know that this is a troll job and he's trying to rile up fans. This is what he does.

I think they still should have given Romo his job back in the playoffs that year. Just because no rookie has ever won a Superbowl. So our best chance of winning it all was with Romo. But Zeke was a great pick, way better than that loud mouth CB some wanted.

I do the same thing sometimes just to keep things interesting. But I do it for fun.

How it continues to happen is the most interesting part.

Pappy is not a troll. He just have some controversial opinions that goes doesn’t follow the typical views found on this board.

If you want to go back to draft picks that turned it around for us you would have to go back to the 89 and 90 drafts. We haven’t selected anyone since that’s “turned it around” for us. The Cowboys have been stuck in a 25 year up and down rut that hasn’t seen a divisional round playoff win.

So a fan that wants to win and doesn't base success on jersey sales is a troll?

I know. But Zeke is still our best pick since 2016.

lol. False.

Rico Gathers was the catalysis for this team. 2 of the 3 years this team made the playoffs when he was employed by the cowboys. 0 times since then since he's been cut.

Pappy posts the "Truth" now some folks here with there obvious agenda's start the slander and insult train when the truth conflicts with that agenda.
They have my sympathies.....

Elliott did not change the franchise.

That's a Elliott fanboy tweeting that ridiculousness.

 

[Hardline]

As great as Zeke has been so far, A Romo led offense would have maximized Zeke's talent.
Zeke was drafted to pair with Romo.

 

[ChuckA1]

Zeke is a great RB and has most definitely set the tone for our offense, period!

He basically did what DeMarco Murray did two years prior.

The Cowboys made the playoffs once in the four years before Elliott. They made the playoffs only twice after he got drafted. Hardly earth shattering difference there.

His pick did not change the direction of the franchise. If he did, we would have been more successful than we were.

I have said this before and not afraid to say it again. I wanted Wentz that year but knew once the Eagles traded up to the 2nd he was not going to get to our pick. However, I am happy on how things turned out. I rather have Dak and Zeke then just Wentz. Now if Dak and his agent can come back to reality and accept a fair and reasonable offer, I would be even more happy.

Ironically, Romo not really trusting the rook to block the blitzing LB caused him to move up and out of the pocket. Zeke made a great block on that play and bought Romo some time to step up and throw.
