I love how so many people on this board are acting like Dockery is a freaking pro-bowler. The Skins let him go and that team never lets anyone worth keeping escape their wrath. Give me a break. Steinbach on the other hand is a very good player but many say he does not possess certain skills to play tackle and that he belongs are guard. Well if Davis can play both positions that is a BIG plus for Dallas and having o-linemen who can play more than one position is good news that we're staying in line with some Parcells logic.

I am really hoping Davis plays Guard. I have been wanting a BIG, PHYSICAL, Knock you back Guard fro a long time. Someone who can open holes, move people, and wear defenses down. To me Davis fits that bill, but there is all of this talk about him being lazy. I do not know if that is true or not.

But here is what I am hoping.

Davis is a Texan, grew up watching the Cowboys, is a fan. If that is not motivation enough I do not know what is. Davis now has his dream, TO BE A DALLAS COWBOY.

Plus he is now not in Arizona. Who has been good there, actually he has been pretty decent in Arizona, that says a lot in it self.

We will see, but it has to be a ton better than watching Rivera always sitting in either our RB or QB laps.

Do we have the contract numbers yet? Ummm, no.

Gurode's deal looked huge last week. We got the #s and saw it was really a 4 year 18 mill deal -- relatively small money.

So let's not freak until we see what is really up.

I saw on another board 7 years $75 million, not official though.

The key is in the contract breakdown vs the other OG's.......Dallas appears to have overpaid, but Davis can play two positions of need...


THANK YOU...some people on this board don't seem to realize that. How many of the other guards can play two positions. Just that fact alone means that you can take another position on game day.

like people said before,

people are crying that we dont do anything about our oline and then when we do try to do something about it, they cry some more.

give the guy a chance on a winning team before you throw him under the bridge.

1) We always pick the wrong guy when there are multiple choices or we pay a guy way more than his talent deserves. Vandy, Rivera, Kosier, B.James...add Davis to that list.

2) Chance on a winning team? A professional with a strong work ethic should give 100% every game...even if his team is in the cellar.

How do you know they are the same people?


Some don't want us to overspend, some just want us to sign someone. They aren't the same people.

I know right. The board is nothing but a gigantic whineathon today. It's really lame. This is the kind of repititious crap that should be merged.

Seriously doubt that.

If Jerry were willing to go that deep, Davis would have never left the building.

Not so sure Davis improves our team. Especially if he ends up at RT.


I don't really care about the money part... just want the money to go to a good player. Why didn't we just sign Steinbach or Dielman to the same amount of money?

He'll play guard and we'll resign Columbo. That'll be $5. Drop it in the cup on your way out. ;)

I would have been OVER JOYED TO GIVE THIS KIND OF MONEY TO STEINBACH. Davis has underperformed his entire professional career. And anyone think he can handle the speed rushers at tackle need to watch some games where he tried. Realisitically, no one that big can handle those really quick guys.

He would be fine if he'd get Columbo signed, but I doubt that since he gave Davis a large sum of money. As far as whineing, that's part of the reason this board is on here. I'm sure you've never whined before, right?:rolleyes:

This clown is going to wind up getting more than Steinbach and Dockery??? Is our front office in the Twilight Zone? 'Market Value' my butt...he is a not-very-good O-lineman. A deal BIGGER than 7 yrs/49 million for a below-average player??? We balk at paying Columbo but we open the vault for Leonard 'Underwhelmer' Davis? Oh, Lord, our team has lost it's mind.

Your wrong, great signing. Next..........
