Twitter: Stephen Threw CeeDee Under the Bus

[BAT]

Stephen is a joke.

Said same about keeping Armstrong over Gregory I bet.

 

[plymkr]

Thought experiment: Jerry and Stephen have a falling out and Stephen resigns. What team is signing stephen to manage their cap or work in the front office? Common, he's got 26 years of front office experience....... <crickets>

McDonald's maybe, if someone vouches for him. No NFL team would have this guy anywhere near player assessment or acquisition. He's a spoiled man child who never had to work for anything.

 

[Hoofbite]

Whelp, he's now on Stephen's list. There isn't a chance in hell he gets a 2nd contract if he doesn't pick his game up in a big way. #1 WRs produce more than 5-6 TDs a year.

The part that probably pisses Stephen off the most is he sacrificed Coop because he was trying to be "smart" and plan for the impending contracts of Diggs, Micah, and Lamb. Without Lamb stepping up, he looks like a giant idiot.

 

[Blackrain]

Or more likely he’d have a QB that could ace the ball where he could make plays, and OC that could put him in better situations and a front office that would put better WRs around him like they did with Evans with Godwin and then Julio Jones.

Lamb didn’t fail the Cowboys Sunday night like Stephen claims. Stephen and Jerry failed CD.

I'm seeing the whole situation a little differently.

CD is an NFL receiver and they have to make tough catches sometimes.
Look at Mike Evans Brady's pass wasn't perfect he had to one-hand it but he did it for a touchdown.
CD flat out here's footsteps and does not have the best set of hands.

That said Jerry and Steven have failed the franchise by not addressing the offensive line properly in the offseason after getting rid of Collins and not having a legitimate backup quarterback on the roster.

Not to mention they failed the franchise a long time before CD got here and will probably be failing it when he's gone.

Jerry's gambling mentality with these pet projects like Garrett and Moore always trying to find the next Tom Landry and Stevens failure to prepare us by being cheap Will continually keep us a few steps away.

They could have made it work but Stephen is trying to be cap-savvy, and he's failing miserably at it. He gives too much to players that aren't producing and puts himself in a position to cut talent because of his dumb *** restructuring.

 

[DandyDon52]

This is rich considering the front office work this past off season.

yeah cd isnt so hot without amari to draw coverage, and cedric also...and no gallup.
They should take that 88 off of him, in fact tear it off lol in front of media cameras ! Demote him to #2 or whatever his college # was.
So tear that jersey off him jerry !

 

[Ranched]

Throwing him under the bus? Stephen is simply saying how it is about CeeDee & he has every right to do so.

 

[TheDude]

Stephen is about as qaulified for the job as an internet poster.

Thats offensive to internet pisters....many of whom acrually watch games qnd technique.

Stephens skill was being the first sperm to find the egg in mama Gene

 

[buybuydandavis]

Paying Gallup over Wilson was a head scratcher.

But thinking a 3rd round reach could replace Amari is incompetence pure and simple.

Stephen and Jerry never learn from their mistakes.

We signed Gallup and Schulz for more money than Cooper cost, and *guaranteed* money, Cooper had not a dime more of guaranteed money coming.

I'd probably prefer the cap money over all of them, but certainly preferred Cooper over the combination of Schulz and Gallup.

I'm going to be honest, this is such astonishingly bad grammar that I seriously didn't want to respond and give you cause to write more posts. Please at least try to do better.

Stephen should do his job better before he belittles the players for not doing their jobs. You should ask yourself why you are defending him when he is trashing a player that was bracketed for large portions of the game because the Bucs didn't respect the other receivers. If you are blaming Moore for the play calling, then guess who wanted him back this offseason? The Jones Boys. Still their fault. Want to blame McCarthy? Guess who signs his checks. But, Stephen didn't trash Moore, he trashed CeeDee Lamb for running the routes that he was instructed to run.

Stephen is throwing Lamb under the bus because he has been around long enough to know that fans and talking heads are going to start pointing the finger at him and Jerry yet again. It's a cowardly deflection in the hopes that the front office doesn't get the pressure thrown on them. Stephen knows he could have signed a free agent to a very reasonable contract back in August, but they chose to ride with what they had. Compare that to the team they just played. The Bucs knew that Godwin might miss a few weeks and they signed Julio Jones to a very reasonable contract in late August. Dallas could have signed Julio Jones to that same contract.

Comparing the Dallas Cowboys to the Green Bay Packers and the Chiefs is completely laughable. The Chiefs and Packers have made the playoffs eight out of the last ten years. The Chiefs and Packers have been to four conference championship games each in the last ten years. The Chiefs won a Super Bowl. Dallas has been to the playoffs four times in that span and they haven't sniffed a conference championship game in over twenty-five years. Comparing two of the most well run franchises in the NFL to this dog and pony show is about as homer as one can get. Both Green Bay and KC deserve some benefit of the doubt considering their team building has produced results this last decade that Dallas can only dream of.

If you want to ride or die with Stephen then feel free, but Dallas has been a pushover for the top teams since way before CeeDee Lamb and Kellen Moore were Cowboys.

Truth hurts.
And yet, even after your disproving every flawed opinion he will continue his blather as though he knows more, lol. It's reached comedy level with him and about 5 others here.
Sooner or later fight or flight syndrome will set in on these pompous know nothings. I just wish it was more flight and less of their weak versions of fight.

Great post.

 

[Captain-Crash]

Good, now back the bus over him. And can somebody get him a kleenex? sheesh

 

[CowboyRoy]

How many times did we see QB1 throw into double or triple coverage because all the attention was on the only guy that could make a play at receiver? Cooper alleviated this issue, took pressure off of the other guys. He was a true threat that had to be accounted for. Gallup has missed time and the duo of Coop/Lamb held it together. The offense was awful before Cooper showed up and it fell apart on Sunday. There's a correlation there, even if you refuse to acknowledge it.

Correlation between a bad Oline and a lack of passing weapons. 1 out of 3 wont cut it. Need two.

Lamb and Evans are two different kinds of WRs. Lamb is an in space guy. Evans is a lanky, in traffic kind of guy.

Evans is also a better WR as Evans is one of the better WRs in the NFL. And yet, the Bucs weren't stupid enough to think hey, we got Evans, that's all we need. They had Godwin but knew he might be slowed a bit coming off a knee injury so they went out and got a good vet in Julio Jones. They knew Evans alone couldn't do it all by himself.

Now contrast that the Cowboys who were in the same spot............... one leading WR, a guy coming off ACL surgery and what did they do? Nothing. Brought in a JAG in Washington and then rode with UDFAs, etc.

So when people want to whine that Lamb wasn't good enough or is overrated or whatever, the more accurate comment is that Lamb didn't fail anyone. The Jones' did.

No question the Jones have their issues but there's a lot we don't know about Stephens's comment other than what he said. I don't recall him calling players often, especially for their on-field play. In fact, I would argue it's been rare, which leads me to believe maybe he was just targeting Lamb's performance during the game and his work ethic. What about during meetings in the WR room? Is he showing leadership as the No.1 guy or is he more worried about distractions, like cell phones? I'm guessing this kind of info Stephen gets from his position coach. Just me, but I think his comments were more of a message about what they are not seeing from Lamb and this was Stephen's way of telling him to get your ______ in gear if you want the big contract.

 

[Captain-Crash]

Stephen was trained by one of the best.

 

[KJJ]

Stephen was clearly not happy with the receiving group especially CeeDee who’s playing his way out of a big contract extension. He had one catch against San Francisco in the playoffs and two catches on 11 targets on opening day. That’s not going to cut it!

 

[ConstantReboot]

I underestimated how important Cooper was. Stephen is in charge and should have better judgement than an internet poster.

Lots of people knew Cooper was important except Stephen. He shouldn't be doing what he's doing because he isn't a football guy. His lack of "football" knowledge is showing.

 

[KJJ]

Most of the Cowboys great number one receivers were complemented by a solid number two receiver. Drew Pearson had Tony Hill. Michael Irvin had Alvin Harper. When TO was here we had Terry Glenn and Miles Austin.

This is pretty basic Lamb may be an in space guy but to be that you got to be able to create some space and separation and when the ball is thrown to you catch it when it hits your hands.

I'm not saying you have to make spectacular catches like Evans one-handed but when it hits you in both hands you're an NFL receiver catch the darn ball or go sit on the storm sewer with all the rest of the kids that hear footsteps.

It has nothing to do with bringing in other receivers other receivers don't affect his ability to catch the ball when it hits them in the hands.
He is another one of these guys that Jerry has hyped up has a name got the 88 number and is failing to live up to the 88 reputation and his draft status

 

[doomsday808]

Sorry Stephen, This was set up to fail at the start by Daddy giving CEEDEE #88. If CD is not awarded his rookie extension or a new contract, that will pretty much end the "#88" privilege. Maybe not in Jerry mind, but the next time he hands out #88 to a WR draft pick, it will be a league wide joke.
