CFZ Types of Cowboys Fans

[acr731]

I'm the kind of fan who remembers what it is like to win Super Bowls.

Seems like a lifetime ago these days, and it literally was.

 

[Rockport]

And we are getting labeled as trolls and Iggle lovers because we voice our displeasure with the way the team runs now.

I’ve been watching since 1967

I've found that there are many types of Cowboys fans and I thought it would be fun to group them up and discuss. It is mid-July after all.

Old School Fans: No one is better than Laundry, Roger, and the crew from way back when. Doesn't matter what they do today. They are inferior and they are going to tell you all about it regardless of the thread.

New School Fans: Jumped on the bandwagon more recently and don't know much outside of this squad. Usually here to comment something harmless like "I think he will be a good player" and leave a like

The Internet GM/Expert: They are here breaking news and giving their feedback on a signing, draft pick, or injury and doing so from a team perspective. They will share tape and help explain the nuances of the game. They talk cap and usually bring many fans here back to reality. Very pro Cowboys but seem to be more knowledgeable about football than most

The dreamer: Here to talk about every free agent, a possible trade, or any other "pie in the sky" thing the talking heads at ESPN or online are pushing. They seem to be fixated on big names and big ideas.

The Dunce: Don't know the players' names. Don't seem to understand how things work. Can't understand the rules of the game or why we have to follow them. Constantly getting corrected by others.

The Trolls: Eagles fans in disguise. They just come here to hate on the team and get people going. Too many to mention, but most of us know who they are.

What do you think? What group did I miss? Do you fall into a group?

Enjoy the "Dak-Free" conversation.

HOMER
HATER
QB challenged
Know nothings
Casual/fair weather
Realistic

The Perpetual Pessimists.

Can safely predict bad things and be right if we don't win the Super Bowl.
Can also claim to just "call it as they see it" even when things like in-season injuries and horrible ref calls can't be predicted.

Me Cowboy Fan !!!! Blue and Silver !!!! Uggg !!!!!

Sadly, it does.

 

[Hardline]

I’m a Cowboys fan through and through and like to make life hard here for the trolls.

False bravado.

 

[Hardline]

You forgot the fans that suffer from Dunning-Krugar. They're too stupid to know they're stupid.

Die Hards: Whether we've been fans since the Landry/ Staubach (or even earlier) days, or since the Triplets Era, or The Romo Era, or The Dak Era, we understand that the team has its faults, but we love them anyway.

We know no QB is perfect, but we also know that while some have been more successful than others, it's oversimplification to lay the team records at their feet, for better or worse.

And we know we have the best cheerleaders on the planet.

I think this group should replace the "Old School" group because I don't think there is a single person that would be a member of the latter.

Yes, so far, Landry is the best HC and Staubach the best QB. If you understand the degree to which rule changes have changed the nature of the NFL game then you might agree on those two individuals.

However, on "the crew from way back when?".

When has anyone ever seen a post that claims Emmitt Smith is not the best RB in Cowboys history?

Which "Old School" fan has claimed that there was a 70's guard better than Larry Allen? A TE better than Jason Witten?

The answer is nobody. This "Old School" group is an empty set.

I suppose I'm in a bit of an odd boat. Firstly, I'm too young to remember the 90s seasons as I was born in late 92. But, I tend to be among the more positive Cowboys fans. I suppose I'm a bit of a dreamer as I'm always dreaming of the Cowboys doing better. I'll just go with the category of a horse Cowboys fan haha. Especially as I'm a horse.

 

[DeaconMoss]

It's really 2 groups. Dak lovers and everyone else trying to figure out why they are such huge fans of 4.

So stereotypical and generalized.
Toward the end you sound Small Town.

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

 

[Tabascocat]

The Casual-those that say they’re fans yet can’t name more than one or two players or the HC. They might not even know if Dallas won or not that week. I know a few of those and discussing the team with them is like talking to a five-year old about calculus

there are no eagle fans here except the ones that openly admit it.
There all no trolls here.
some here call other people here eagle lovers as if it is a insult lol. Same for troll.

what about a category for disgruntled cowboy fans that just dont like certain things about the cowboys and the 2 bozos running the circus ??
27 years of being inept,forced to endure a decade of jason garrett, a weak culture that shows up in the playoffs, things jerry does do and does not do etc etc.

 

[The Fonz]

It is an entertainment
it is a form of distraction
Owners getting paid
NFL getting paid
Players getting paid
talking heads getting paid
fans ( spend money ,spend time ,and emotion ) let them feel whatever they want

 

[Starforever]

Anyone that roots against the team, is the total opposite of a fan. Being for the team does not mean liking all things Cowboys. But is sure doesn't mean consistent whining and denigrating the team.

Bada Bing! You can throw me in with your group, I remember the Boys winning all 5 Superbowls.
