As long as Jerry breathes air none of this matters.

"The ultimate goal is to win the Super Bowl."

Thank you, Tyler Smith!

I just don't hear those words enough, coming from our players.

Usually comes out of Jerry's mouth, every year.

Anytime a player says this, people crucify him saying “show me, don’t tell me.”

There is a difference between criticizing players for saying good things, and realizing that players are taught to say these things even all the way back to their high school football days. It doesn't take a lot of critical thinking to see that more observation is required to see whether people actually believe in the things they say when they are taught to parrot things by their coaches since childhood.

Despite 12 win seasons setting NFL records, all time ... I bet there were doubts on handling the very top teams. That confidence grows during playoffs. That Head Coach was changed.

It’s great isn’t it?

I actually get a kick out of these fans who show up every preseason.

Good post bazz man.

We see it every year .......at some point in over a century thay have to actually be right?

Agree......but we'll always have those three 12 win seasons when the NFC was historically weak and the schedules were the easiest.

The schedule this season? Not so much.

Wrong is being that....talk the team and not prejudice. They work to fix problems. Not to meet up with myths of fans.

Those directions are discussed by me as a fan. Don't like it, don't show your own prejudice.

I'm already seeing merit in this team...Jerry and 30 years. THAT is your problem, not me.

Do some talking now:

What if Landry didn’t have the patience to wait for Staubach?​

Starting with Captain America himself, the Roger Staubach story has several what-ifs along the way. The team took a flyer on him, drafting him in the 10th round of the 1964 draft, however, Staubach wouldn’t step onto the field until five years later due to his commitment to the Navy. He even used his military leave to show up at Cowboys rookie camp. And when he finally did arrive in Dallas, he found himself in a quarterback battle with Craig Morton. In fact, it was a timeshare unlike any other, as head coach Tom Landry would alternate between the two QBs within the games. It wasn’t until Staubach’s third season in the league at the age of 29 that he finally took over as the team’s undisputed starting quarterback, where he led the Cowboys to four Super Bowls, winning two of them.

What if Jimmy sided with Walsh over Aikman?​

From one Super Bowl-winning Hall of Fame quarterback to another, the team selected Troy Aikman number one overall in the 1989 NFL draft. Unlike Staubach, Aikman started right away, and it was rocky to say the least. Jimmy Johnson inherited a terrible team from the legendary Landry, and they finished 1-15 in their first season. Despite their draft investment in Aikman, Johnson loved his former Miami Hurricane quarterback Steve Walsh and selected him second overall in the supplemental draft that same year. Aikman missed five games in his rookie season, and Walsh stepped in and helped Dallas win their only game of the year. In the end, Walsh was traded to New Orleans a year later, but Jimmy’s love for his former college quarterback created some uncertainty as to what direction they might go.

What if Romo was traded to the Saints?​

The Cowboys were in quarterback purgatory after Aikman retired, and it wasn’t until Tony Romo showed up that new life emerged. Actually, it was four years after he arrived before Romo-mania took off. That’s because he was an undrafted free agent who was buried on the depth chart for his first few years in the league. After some impressive pre-season outings, some took notice, including his former quarterback coach Sean Payton, who had just become the head coach in New Orleans. Payton offered a third-round pick for Romo, but Jerry Jones wouldn’t give him up for anything less than a second-round pick. A deal was never done, and by Week 6 of the 2006 season, a new era in Dallas had begun as Romo took over the starting job, replacing Drew Bledsoe.

What if the Cowboys never drafted Dak?​

Fast forward ten years, and we find ourselves in another unexpected passing of the torch at quarterback. After the Cowboys missed out on two of their QB targets in the draft, Paxton Lynch and Connor Cook, they eventually “settled” on Dak Prescott at pick 135. Prescott entered his rookie season fourth on the depth chart behind Romo, Kellen Moore, and Jameill Showers. Injuries to Romo and Moore opened the door, and Prescott’s performance moved him to the top spot by the start of the regular season. And he never let go. Prescott had an impressive rookie season. It was so good that Jason Garrett made the tough decision to stay with Dak even after Romo was healthy again, leaving Cowboys fans with one of the biggest hypotheticals in franchise history...

Maybe this is the year Terence Steele really looks like his old self.

When thinking about the Dallas Cowboys’ offensive line in 2025 and beyond, the first thing that comes to mind is, well, Tyler cubed. Three first-round picks over the last four years produced Tyler Smith, Tyler Guyton and, now, Tyler Booker but, following the retirement of Zack Martin, the onus of leadership doesn’t simply fall on Smith’s capable shoulders.

The true elder statesman on the offensive line isn’t Smith, it’s Terence Steele, the latter entering what will be his sixth year in the NFL and with the Cowboys. That means that it’s as much on Steele to lead the young bulls through the rodeo as it is on Smith, who’s walking into Year 4.

In an exclusive chat with Brian Schottenheimer, the head coach and offensive play caller was clear in both his praise of
Steele and in what he expects to see from his starting right tackle in the post-Martin era.

Terence Steele is ‘set up to have a great year’ for Cowboys in 2025, per Brian Schottenheimer - Patrik Walker, DallasCowboys.com​

This fan can remain loyal to a Red Raider!

Well ,when an owner declares "all in" and brings in a broke down version of Zeke Elliott, there is real iron in his words

In a country club environment you have many people who can talk the talk. Since Jimmy, nobody really walks the walk. That's the problem with the current culture. I like many of these players, see their talent, but when you have a problem with leadership you often have a problem with motivation

 

[phildadon86]

I don’t need to come here to get news Einstein.

Well obviously you do because you didnt know that..

Can we change your name on here to gaslight instead of Rockport? You are a master at it.

Also easy on the name calling.

 

[phildadon86]

Yes they should have played Lance.
I do not understand that at all either.

Yes if it happens again, they should play Milton. But regardless how he plays. They need to go all out for Manning, if he comes out.

That trade, is only justified by 2 people on here as a good one.

Kinda relies on the ability for the Head Coach to enforce and maintain team discipline and hence coordinated team play.

Bill Parcells worked long hours on just that specific element. Disciplined play.

We really dont know if the trade for Milton is a good one yet.

However, 30 other GMs knew the trade for Lance wouldn't be good.

Of course the GM for the Niners was elated.

This time of the year is when we have the most success.

We always win the Super Bowl in late spring and summer. Then December rolls around and we fold like a cheap suit. Not being negative, just the facts, m'am.

Yup, they'd find something to crap about, even if we win a SB. They say ignorance is bliss, I say, stupidity is hilarious. Lol

Nobody said culture does not count. It does. What people are saying, "We are from Missouri", don't just talk the talk, that is the easy part. Let us see if they walk the walk, or do they continue their mediocrity, and blame is on any of a number of built in excuses.

In other words, they can't just enjoy the game and off season, they have to crap all over any hope their may be....thanks for proving my point.

Like a kid going to his dad and saying, dad! I'm going out for the football team! I'm excited....
And the dad says, I'm from, Missouri, I don't care, SHOW ME!
get the father of the year award ready
