Tony Romo, The Man with the Stats

It isn't, but somehow I seriously doubt that you REALLY believe the Boys are going 0-13 to start the season...

So, you weren't expressing an honest opinion, you were trying to provoke a reaction...

They call that trolling... and no, the members of this board don't care for trollish posts... IOW, you are entirely responsible for the reaction you're receiving in here...

Or do you seriously believe that happy horsecrap you were peddling?? Do you HONESTLY expect the Boys to go 0-13??

Sadly, I know you won't man up and address that question...

Being a fan for 25 years nothing would surprise me. I have no confidence in our OL at all to protect Romo. Like it or not the two guards brought in are career back ups as I've posted evidence of this on a different thread. And as you have pointed out Costa who could be starting centre can easily be replaced. So why even bother with Costa at all if he's not gonna be here next season. Start someone else who has long term future. And as for the cap space created by Newman's release most if not all will be used to sign Claiborne.

An opinion you've reached without even knowing who's going to be starting for them... that's an amazing ability you've got there, Kreskin, could you give me the lottery numbers for this weekend??

Like it or not the two guards brought in are career back ups as I've posted evidence of this on a different thread.

Didn't see it, so permit me to tell you that claim is also pure, unadulterated bullcrap... Nate Livings has started the last 40 games for the Cincinnati Bengals... 16 last year, 16 in 2010, the last 8 in 2009... meanwhile, Berandeau has started 20 out of his last 47 games... only a truly clueless fan would call Livings a "career backup", when he's started 47 out of the 52 games he's played in... since when is a player who has started 90 per cent of his games a "career backup"??

I don't even think you can call a player who has started 20 of 47 games a "career backup"; Bernadeau started 12 of 16 games in 2010, does that sound like a "career backup" to you??

And I have to ask, what exactly makes you think that your opinion of our two free agent linemen is superior to that of Bill Callahan?? Are you THAT arrogant??

The more I argue with you, the clearer it becomes that you like to shoot from the lip without bothering to do any research to back up your proclamations... be advised that if you come at me without the facts, I'll use the facts to make you look really, really foolish...

You know, like now, with your "Livings is a career backup" BS... :D

And as you have pointed out Costa who could be starting centre can easily be replaced. So why even bother with Costa at all if he's not gonna be here next season. Start someone else who has long term future.

While I said he COULD be replaced, I didn't say he WOULD be...

Reading comprehension is not your strong suit, is it??

And as for the cap space created by Newman's release most if not all will be used to sign Claiborne.

Chuckle.... you didn't have the first clue about Newman's cap hit coming off on June 1st when you said we had 2 million in cap room... and the truth is, the Cowboys' rookie salary cap number for the entire class is 5.7 million (truthfully, I didn't know it would be that high until I went and looked it up)...

So, the rookie pool will eat up most of Newman's bonus (but not Claiborne alone as you claimed, once again you got it wrong)... which means that with the 2 million we currently have, and the increasing likelihood that Kenyon Coleman will be let go, (there's another 1.15 million in cap room) the Boys could have 3 million plus under the salary cap to sign another free agent or two... a little less, actually, they'll have to set aside a little money to fund the practice squad too...

This is hardly the dire cap situation you told us we were in, most teams have used up the bulk of their cap room for free agents by now... clearly, if a veteran they really like comes free before the start of the season, they will have the ability to got him...

And you still haven't answered the question, it's time for you to man up... it's a simple question, really; you said flatly that the Boys would go 0-13 this season; do you really believe that, or not??

Your credibility is on the line here, answer the question, with a yes or no... once you've given us your yes or no, you are free to elaborate at length, but yes, or no?? "I wouldn't be surprised" isn't an answer, it's a copout., a pathetic attempt to avoid answering the question...
 
I'm sorry but no real Cowboys fans would even entertain any thought of this team starting 0-13, smh

That's just asinine.

Let's think about that for a second-- this team went 8-8 last year, and had to severely underachieve to post that record (blown later 4th quarter lead after blown late 4th quarter lead)... and in this offseason, they have added significant upgrades at a number of positions, especially that atrocious secondary that was mostly to blame for those late losses, and roddy says he expects them to go 0-13??

There are only two possible conclusions (because I do believe him when he says he's a Cowboys fan, he's just one of those relentlessly negative, gloom and doom fans). he's either trolling to try to piss off some total strangers or... or... well, I'd get an infraction if I expressed the second possibility in this forum... let's put it diplomatically, and say if he's serious about that 0-13 crapola, he knows nothing about the game of professional football...

I actually think that's possible, after all the errors he's made discussing our salary cap situation, and his dismissal of Nate Livings as a "career backup"... at the very least, he hasn't made any effort to inform himself...

FACT Livings was drafted in 2006. There has been (not including preseason) approx 96 games since then. And as you've pointed out he's played in 52 games so just under half. He didn't make his debut till 2009 replacing Abdul Hodge who got injured. He has NO pro bowls and was an UDFA.

Oh and as per another thread Bernadeau is out 10 - 12 weeks with a hip injury. Great signing there.

I'll leave it there as opinions are not welcome on this forum......

That's not a career backup.

What's so hard to understand about that?

You were caught with your pants down. Admit it and move on.

Its not like he is going to miss entire season. He can still be ready by first or second game of the season.

I'm not going to anymore. I'm just gonna read people slating others for not agreeing that the Cowboys are 100% perfect and flawless.

Never blamed the forum. I've only just returned after 3 years not being on here. Think I could easily go somewhere else.

Has anyone commanded you to leave?

No.

Are you perfectly free to do as you will?

Yes.

Let's stop with the melodrama.

Saddest stuff I have ever read in my whole life. You poor unfortunate soul. I don't know how you manged to share 4 more opinions after the first tantrum, but I give you kudos for bucking up little camper.

There are other cowboys forums. Think I'll join one of them where opinions are welcome. Shame as I liked this one.

Now you're just acting pathetic.
 
Primetime42;4563484 said:

Youz people made him act like that! That's why he wants to leave.

I kinda agree with him. I think the Cowboys will lose their first 13 games.

But, I don't really know that.

:cool:

Now he left...are you happy, now?

FACT-- he has started his last 40 games... and given that, the next FACT is that your claim that he is a "career backup" is misinformed ignorance... and the way you continue to argue that after being made aware of the facts indicates that you are completely incapable of admitting that you were wrong...

Permit me to also note that you completely distort Livings' career... in his first two seasons, he didn't even appear in any games... he apparently spent his first year on the practice squad, then his second season, until he was called up for the final game of 2007... so, he wasn't a starter OR a backup, he was a practice squad player... it would appear that he spent the first part of 2008 on the practice squad as well, until he was called up for the final 6 games, which he started...

So, after basically two full years on the practice squad to start his career, he has started 47 of the 52 games he's played in... so, even if at the start of his career you could have stretched a point and called him a career backup, over the last 4 seasons he has started 47 of the 52 games he was available for...

Anybody who calls that a "career backup" is out his freakin' mind...

Period...

Oh and as per another thread Bernadeau is out 10 - 12 weeks with a hip injury. Great signing there.

Yeah, that sucks... but even if it's 12 weeks, that still puts him back on the playing field around August 8th, or about 2 weeks into training camp... if it's closer to the 12 week time frame, you're looking at him being ready to go by the start of training camp (of course, his conditioning will not be where it should, he'll have to work hard on that once he gets back on the practice field)...

So all in all, it's not a disaster for him, or the Boys...

I'll leave it there as opinions are not welcome on this forum......

And you're STILL trying to weasel out of the question... do you think the Cowboys will start the season 0-13, as you claimed??

Either you'll man up, and answer the question, or you'll avoid it, thereby telling the readers that you knew you were spewing crap... it will also tell the readers that you're incapable of manning up...

Trust me, I'm not gonna give this one a rest, because the longer and harder I push it, and the longer you avoid answering, the more it will become clear that you are the troll I accused you of being...
