The war room

[MyFairLady]

We are a joke that much is for sure.

 

[Diehardblues]

If you were unaware of the record of this team and just how embarrassingly bad the defense was last season, what would your impression have been from watching them after these picks?

The difference between them and 90% of the other war rooms we were watching is those others are filled with people who are accountable and have jobs on the line. They cannot just wait for players to fall to them, they have to target them and get them.

There are already rumors about the Raiders war room in trouble after their first pick and this is the team with the craziest draft reputation in the game. They're expected to be "out there".

That’s all part of not having real football leadership with our franchise.

They are doing the best they can without full time football expertise .

I love it when Jethro hands the phone to F-Mikey. Lol

Again, it is what it is. We are just stumbling thru best our Mom and Pop operation can

At least we are drafting defense and not more WR and TE’s.

We are a joke that much is for sure.

We have been for a couple decades . Not sure why the alarms are going off now? Lol

How do those shots of the war room after making some of these picks make you feel?

What exactly are they celebrating and high fiving? The fact that they're rich?

Still holding onto that theory they care about winning?

Next time they give you a shot of that, ask yourself this question? How does that differ from the other war rooms we've been seeing? That look like a NFL draft war room to you or an Executive Conference room?

Pick out the shot caller in any of those other war room shots, can't can you? Got no problem with the Cowboys one, do you?

I have reached another level of dislike for this entire family as they celebrate what they've done to my football team. If mediocrity was the goal, they're very successful.

What other GM has openly tried to justify his first pick like this? Matt Millen and Crazy Al never embarrassed themselves like he did telling a reporter if he'd give him $1000, he'd show him the draft board to prove it? Who does that?

I am disgusted watching those people in that setting. It speaks to everything wrong about this team. And why it's not going to get much better.

It's all about the show, just like the team.

I haven’t watched a single second of that this year.

It’s so stupid how they high five and fist bump after drafting some corner that nobody would’ve touched until round 7.

It's been that way ever since Jerry removed Parcells and replaced him with Camp Cupcake and Sir Claps-a-Lot. Revenue is king, absolutely everything else is secondary or tertiary.

Giants are being called a real organization this morning making great deals .

Watching a billionaire family with lifetime executive contracts, regardless of on-field results, pretend they know how to build an NFL roster that wins playoff games is the epitome’ of arrogance.

It’s like they’re all in a TV show called, “The Emperor and his Family’s new Clothes”. They are all naked as jay-birds but think otherwise. They certainly make being a fan of this team a challenge.

all the shots of all the war rooms all the same..got it..stop hating on the FO for things they very much have in common with the rest of the teams..

if you dont like anything about the drafting, players, coaches, FA, and ownership..

why again are you fan? move on with the incessive starting of hollow threads nothing but a cheese and whine fest..

 

[DFWJC]

I’m not happy so far with this draft. Jmo

But by ALL measurable accounts by non partisan outsiders, Dallas has been one of the top 8-12 drafting teams in the league the last 10 years.

Don't shoot the messenger (as people tend to do around here) ,its not my ranking, but that is how they are rated.
Btw, top 25-35% to me, is not good enough anyway. But its way better than many here seem to think.

This class so far seems like it might lower that some but maybe not.

It really goes back to Switzer.

Because you don’t have to like all of the moving pieces to support the sum.

Imagine how we’d do if all owners were required to be their teams GM . We might fare better than middle of the road.

It’s actually amazing we do as well as we do. Lol

 

[Diehardblues]

It’s like having a problem child in the family. You simply lower your expectations.

 

[Montanalo]

For many football fans, the draft is one of the two or three most important events of the year. And, understandably so. Like spring, the draft represents renewal and hope for better things to come.

With those lofty expectations, it is natural that many are disappointed with the outcomes. There is a huge gap for me, though, between disappointment and the utter shock of our round 3 picks.

I can somewhat rationalize the Joseph and Odighizuwa picks (although, in both cases, I believe there were better options available). No amount of Cowboy fan-boy optimism can rationalize the next two picks.

Too many other posters have listed other, much higher rated players we could have selected, so I want belabor that point.

This isn't a situation where I had a preferred 'pet cats' because I didn't. It is simply a matter of selecting players 1-3 rounds higher than the consensus.

For once, I wish JJ had interceded and simply said, "no" ... And that's a first for me

 

[Batman1980]

ColoCowboy, what makes you think those aren't Jerry picks? I don't think Will McClay's influence is as profound as people think. Outside the Dak, Zeke and wall of Dallas picks, which great picks have they made during his time here?

It is what it is. Not many more critical than I am of Jethro and our Football Idiots.

The draft , off season and training camp is a time for renewed optimism and hope while you rebuild and retool the team. Reality doesn’t begin until after Labor Day.

 

[AKATheRake]

For all we know those are pre recorded videos of them being in the room. Then when it is time to show the fist pump, they show the vid.

When they make the call to the pick they record it and then put it out for us to hear which gives us the real experience.

Giants are being called a real organization this morning making great deals .

For good reason, Gettleman knows he's exposed. That Daniel Jones pick put him out there, he's got to get this right.

Same with the Bears GM, that's a risky trade up but that's what he has to do in order to keep his job.

Job security is a wonderful thing, except in pro sports. Billy Martin was always at his best when threatened with his job. It's not desperation, it is dedication.

It is frustrating knowing what the problem is but even more so when you know there will be no solution, even in death.

The misery around here is insane.

IDK. I’ll be more hopeful in death. I wouldn’t assume Cheapskate Son and the Siblings will operate in same manner.

I don’t get all the doom and gloom today. Considering our handicaps I thought we pretty well. Lol
