Tyron Smith thanks Dak Prescott for being his QB1 and a friend

While I do take your point, you seriously can't make any distinction here?

You said, "Ain't no spin like virtue signaling spin."
You directly and specifically called out the virtue signaling as if you were better than that. I simply pointed that out.

I can see how how a thin thread could possibly be stretched far enough to connect your comment to my comment. I accept that my comment could possibly be seen by some in somewhat the same light, if you squint just right.

To put them anywhere near each other on the scale is clearly coming from the emotional side of your noggin.

I do agree with you on one thing. Psychology is a thing!
And your "you're doing the same thing as he did" wasn't your own brand of "I'm coming from a fair and balanced vantage point versus how you thought you were seeing it" pedestal? But of course not, because you're not susceptible to such things and was just "pointing something out," lol. Well so was I to another about an idiotic comment you would double down on as "having a point." Sure, a point no one made in the first place before twisting things, lol.

Someone referenced a comment they thought had no place here as a spin of what was never mentioned and I agreed with that with equal disdain. But you didn't go after the original comment, you came after my reply like you've done with me previously when I had zero idea who you were. So speaking of emotion, methinks your reply had a lot to do with seeing "MarcusRock" on your screen. At least this time you didn't accuse me of believing you to be some dumb bumpkin when again I had zero idea who you even were that that little tidbit should even come up. It spoke volumes about you though. So when I say psychology plays out on these boards you're definitely among those I'm referring to because you've provided hard data.
 
He was wasted on the Cowboys. Should have been blocking for a Super Bowl team in his prime.
 
Still don't get it. Let me dumb it down for you. It was not just about on the field, but off the field, and in the locker room. Respect for Dak. All your mind heard was he really did not mean what he said because he just read a prepared speech. You know public speaking is not easy for everyone. Sometimes you write it down and read it. Alot of people do it.

lol Talk about hard data!

This is what tmc aspires to be when he grows up.

I appreciate you letting us live in your world, Rock. Would it be possible to get a heads up on what reality we should be living under at any given time so I can come prepared?

That’s exactly what it is. He’s done the same thing to me based on my avatar and name. A million people can say exactly what I said but it will be my comment that triggers him. I wasn’t even gonna say anything in this regard until
He mentioned me…..

You could spell it out for him and he’d still ask
How do you spell it.

I don't see denials.

As for reality, you're a smart guy. You'll figure it out.

So, until next time?

Right? You have to love the irony of claiming someone thinks they're better than others while attempting to talk down to someone else in the same thread after doubling down on a dumb comment. Never change, CowboysZone. Never change. Lol.

This by far is top five and worse narratives ever for any sport to say that all these guys wasted their time because they were on a specific team that didn't go far enough or win a championship games.

LMAO You do realize it's not possible this is what parity is all about, its why the HARD Cap was installed, you literally the league is created 32 teams and are trying to keep balance there is no way possible for the top five teams who have the best chance to go to the Super Bowl to have all the best players on one team.

By the way the Dallas Cowboys at least have had one of the top 5 to top 10 regular season win percentages one enough divisions got to the playoffs on a regular basis recently five out of the last nine years the only two years they had losing seasons was when Prescott was out for the almost the entire season he hasn't had a losing season they've had her shot!!!! ...​

There are worse places to be probably 20 other teams are worse they don't even win divisions cleveland hasn't won a division since 1989 and what did **** Mao saying he wanted to leave that it was about winning he wanted to be traded, Then what happened yep miles Garrett took the money and stayed with Cleveland a perpetually losing team that can't win anything and you're saying that the Cowboys are at fault for wasting this dudes career who signed the contracts who stayed?

It's unfortunate but when you talk to the players they're not going to have the same attitude and yeah it's an attitude if you don't like the Cowboys and you think it's a waste of time then why don't you ask them why they keep signing all these big contracts and staying... I can tell you why it's not just loyalty the odds are no matter where they go they're not winning more games or getting closer or winning championships the odds are just not there..

Here's the kicker lastly all these players recently coming back possibly going to the Hall of Fame all on the Dallas Cowboys team if not all pros and pro bowlers you know that they're at fault as much as the owner and GM of not winning they literally didn't show up in big games in big moments..

That includes Tyron Smith I can remember the offensive line I don't know 3 or four years ago had 11 penalties they haven't had a great game on the ground or blocking in all the losses go show me where this great offensive line and Assembly of great players who have wasted their time here have shown up against the best teams in the biggest games and I can tell you there's lots of them that absolutely need to look in the mirror because they're the very reason including the coaching staff that let Jerry down as much as he let them down that is a fact..

So before you bring in all the hate in your hyperbole rhetoric your emotional outburst about how this is all Jerryd fault you might want to check how Jerry put all this talent that seems to keep popping up the narrative that Jerryd wasting their careers because they were so good well they were so good all assembled on one team by who that's right the GM and owner have put plenty of talent on this team even if it's not aggressive enough even if he didn't spend the money on free agency, BUT he put some great players in one place that have been in the playoffs quite a bit, and when they do they choked, the players and coaches choked!!!

jerry didn't go out and drop passes, INTs dropped, blocks missed, ran to the wrong hole if you could find them, ran the wrong routes, threw INTS, missed tackles in key moments, have the refs screw you, missed field goals, missed Xps, called bad plays, bad in game adjustments, bad game plans, etc etc

This is well documented here somehow the players that were good enough some of them great some of them elite that didn't show up and get the sack that they needed jumped off side had ridiculous amounts of penalties this all happened right in front of our eyes pulling up on routes like Patrick Creighton having fumbles in your best year you had Demarco Murray fumbling to football on a whole the size of Montana, You have a game where your offensive line has 11 penalties and your defensive line has four that's just the name of a few but they've had nothing to show within themselves to get themselves to those bigger games that's a fact..

Sometimes it's the players needing to step up and the coaches yes could the gm do more but sure you want them to hand them and all in team that go out and just make their life easy like Jalen Hurts is supposed to be someone special now because he was given a super team? How about the teams that actually got there without having to have a super team?

I understand the criticism of Jerry Jones and I'm not supporting him but this is getting ridiculous every time a player retires and didn't get a ring it's Jerry's fault no it's the Assembly of great players who didn't show up when it was needed.. It's well documented it would probably take me an hour to list all the bad execution by the players that cost us these games..

No point in tearing apart your ridiculous "arguement". We both know you've never been wrong about anything in your life and you damn sure aren't going to start now.

I'll leave this with you on my way out. If you could get outside yourself even just a little bit and read my post again you might see that I did take your point. I pointed out what seems to me a legitmate distinction between the two examples. A fair and reasonable observation/question.

You then replied by completely ignoring that and reacting in an emotional and defensive manner. Even invoking something from the past that I'd bet never even happened. and completely unrelated if it were real. You even go as far as to accuse me of coming after you as if I'm doing something that you yourself hadn't already done in this thread.

Textbook stuff. The data tells the tale.

Thanks for the data.

It's going to be ok. I promise. Nobody is coming for you.

The problem with pointing out virtue signaling is it can be just another form of virtue signaling, and so it cuts off its own head, i.e., it self-defeats.

That’s because the criticism of virtue signaling is practically based on knowing or discerning with evidence the intent of the person calling out the moral indiscretion.

Bro, it was real and it was spectacular (in a telling on one's self kinda way I mean).

If I had a point, wouldn't the simple thing to do include calling out the dumb, unrelated comment itself? I mean, if I had a point and all. But even if you did agree with it (you said he had a point - he didn't because no one even went there) wouldn't the simplest thing to do include commenting on the first person to take umbrage with it? He accused him of spin and said it was the way of the world nowadays or something like that. Isn't that like the "I would never do such things" tone you accused me of in mentioning virtue signaling? Yet you skip over that initial opposing comment to something you at least partially supported to find my reply to his post. You don't see something a little weird with taking that route instead of the shortest distance, and considering your history I remember? Logical question.

I gave you a quick "I know you are but what am I" quip to your initial post, not intending anything other than that. You're the one that kept going from there. Yet you continue to say that I've been the emotional one here. Riiiiiiight. Like the above paragraph, I simply weave through logic and share what I see. If it doesn't add up, no amount of tap dancing is going to make it add up.

That was exactly my point with my first response to MR. I also owned that my pointing it out was also a form of virtue signaling. Those simple facts sent him into a tizzy, though.

Some form of virtue signaling happens day in an day out here and anywhere humans converse. Nobody is immune. Everybody does it one way or another.

That's the only reason I pointed it out to MR when he made the decision to call it out specifically in hypocritical fashion.
 
You guys do realize that the HOF is full of many great players who never won a SB, right?
Ironically the last offensive tackle to make the hall of fame (Joe Thomas) was not only a first ballot selection but he never once played in a single playoff game
