Yeah it broke mein veinious heart when Murray go and went away.
And the defense half offer vexations and ennui.

It would be a nice tribal thing if we can gift credit to what he hath done and stuff.

The schtick was a little thick, even for you. I give you a B. Go home and practice some more til you get the percentages back up.

Gotta give credit to more folks than just Jerry for putting this roster together, although he deserves his due as well. The dinner at his home got us La'el and that was sweet. The entire staff and the scouts have also done a magnificent job of collecting a great bundle of talent for 2015. Now, if we can just put it all together, we're good.

I give Jerry a B/B+

I give him great points for an excellent draft, however I think he should have drafted Ifo Ekpre Olomu, and if he plays well, I think that will be a lost opportunity. Also disappointed that we didn't get Tillman.

I won't take points away because they didn't get Adrian Peterson, but I think we could have gotten CJ Spiller at running back, and I think he would have been a great fit here. I think we were smart not to re-sign Murray for the rate the Eagles paid him.

I think we got 3 first round quality players in one draft cycle. I think we got the best pass rushing defensive end in free agency. I think we shored up our linebacker situation without breaking the bank.

The only thing is the issue at RB. I can't wait to see what Randle and the misfits can do. Even with my personal displeasure at RB hard not to give JJ and company a B+ and that only goes up if Randle can emerge.

It was a nice off season. Some of which was luck like colli s falling out of the draft. But then hard, smart work of getting him signed
Jerry and company did a fine job and it appears jerry has slowly learned to listen to those around him and make smarter moves rather than flashier moves
Lots of people on the staff contribute to a great off season but it really means a lot to the future of the team that jerry has learned from many of his past mistakes and hopefully Stephen has as well
It's not just about this off season but it really feels like they have truly learned to build a team of football players rather than a team of glitz and glamour
I know that's hard for Jerry because he loves the shiney toys and they get you praise on sports center, the the fat boys on the trenches on both sides of the ball wins you games

Yes with the potential to reach an A- or A when all is said and done.

"But like the two guys out on the prairie who heed the silence, one say to the other, he say: "It's quiet out there." And the other one say, he say: "Yep too quiet." Then off course that is when the Amish-Americans attack and plunder."

got to get back to this gold.

no other team improved this offseason as much as the cowboys. We were weak rushing the passer and sterling moor blew in the last game. We upgraded those positions, quite heavily on the defensive line. I couldnt beleieve how many turnovers we got last year without a consistent pass rush. Adding Lee *crosses fingers* and a pass rush will do wonders for us. That combined with Romo actually being able to work out and get in shape for the season will be great for our team. I do not see winning less than 11 games. IT IS WRITTEN

I'm guessing it seemed funny to someone when someone was in a heavily altered state of mind....not so funny when the hangover hit.

-resigning Dez
-resigning Ro Mac
-signing Greg Hardy, the most sought after free agent since TO for the team
-selling La'el Collins on being a cowboy
-drafting Gregory in the 2nd round and having a team atmosphere in place to help him succeed

Doubt we could have asked for a better off season. It wasn't all him mind you, but that's more than any off season I remember

If you get a B from picking up three first round grade talents in the draft/rookie free agency, signing one of the best pass rushers in the league, and locking up a franchise player to a reasonable contract (relative to his talent and impact), I'd love to see what it takes to get an A.

Choosing not to pay $8 million a year to a player who will never again match his one season wonder only increases the grade in my opinion.
