Vegas didn't like the Cowboys draft and FA

[CowboyRoy]

You obviously don't know me at all. Lol...

Then I apologize. I just always see you stick up for just everything the Cowboys do. I dont think I have you confused with anyone else.

How about a simple question?

Do you like Garrett as our coach?

 

[jnday]

Well.............if part of your theory is that Jerry sucks at drafting and he cant screw it up drafting Zeke then I have no issues with that.

I don't trust Jerry at all, and Zeke was the safest pick IMO. He also upgrades the offense that didn't look so good before the injuries hit and it completes the power run game that I like.

Is liking Garrett the defining factor used to determine if you blindly support the team? If so, it is s good question lol.

Let me enlighten you sir.

1. I despised Garrett from day one and saw him as just a comfortable option for JJ. Back then, he was in over his head and it cost us some games. Over the years, he has began to improve but only after having his play calling duties neutered. So, today, I'm fine with Garrett as is but don't color me too impressed.

2. I despised the RBBC idea (still do) and saw the utilization of Randle and McFadden as a huge waste of time. Well.. We all know where Randle ended up. Knuckleheads tend to end up in those predicaments. McFadden? I just always saw him as a walking MASH unit. I view last year as an anomaly and nothing to get excited about... so, in short, I don't particularly care for McFadden. I hope Morris beats him out for #2.

3. Letting Demarco go without a hair of negotiation was, and will remain, one of the largest blunders in Cowboys history. We were so close to a Super Bowl with our ground & pound configuration that you could smell it... & then so far away...

So, sir, you were well off base but that's ok. There are plenty of others here that know all of that about me. I'm your classic glass half full guy not only in my support of our beloved Boys but also in life. I'll complain until the end of day but also give credit where its due/earned. I believe we hit a grand slam in this year's draft and will be considered a very dangerous team to deal with in the coming years. Logical strategic choices usually turn out to equal success. I'm incredibly excited to see what we have on our hands in the next few years.

I see half our picks contributing significantly this year. We shall see. Bring on training camp.

In this same time last year, Vegas had the Colts primed with the best odds to win the Super Bowl... Something about being so impressed with their FA signings including Frank Gore. We all know how that turned out... Sooooo.. Yeah.

Well, you can't predict injuries. Unless, maybe you have Sam Bradford...

 

[Satchel89]

The suspensions do hurt but our first 4 games are...

Giants

Commanders

Bears

9ers


I feel like we should come out of that 3-1.

I'm loving that part of the schedule too.

 

[BlindFaith]

Will turn out to be one of the greatest drafts in history if Elliott pans out.

Zeke is over/under 900 yards and 7 TDs. So they don't think much of him either, for this year anyway.

 

[noshame]

6-10.

lol @ you explaining what's already known and known well. For years.

The Cowboys odds where 16:1 in February to win the Super Bowl. After the free agency moves and the draft, we fell to 22:1.

It seems that Vegas didn't approve.

people didn't approve. vegas doesn't give a damn one way or the other. that line will change as bets change.

It is pretty interesting reading the posts about what is to be. About the draft, the free agency period, the coach, and the front office all with opinions and all believing either good or bad or indifferent. Does Vegas know what really will happen, that's a big No unless they can predict injuries or how any draft pick will really play. Did we have a good draft? Ask that question around game 6 and I will let you know. Is Garrett a good coach, ask we around the end of next season. Does anyone remember Landry's record the first 5 years or the mid to late 80s, heck even a couple of years in the 70s, sorry I'll stick with Garrett for awhile unless you want Chip Kelly who should be available in a couple of years.

Do we look at the Boys through rose colored glasses part/most of the time, we sure do but it is also a factor of past successes that we do. You know we could be Brown fans, how would that feel. We also all forget it is football and it is about business. We tend to forget about other teams that sign high priced free agents only to let them go the next year or overpay for a free agent only to find out they are only average players. We tend to believe what is written by an analyst or a sportswriter or past player when there job is to create more readers more advertisements and to get one's angst up, rarely is it all or any correctness to it, it is just like us, opinions not a lot of facts.

Does anyone on the board know if Dez or Romo will be healthy all year? Do we know if Elliott will truly be a great back? Do we know for certain that Lawrence will be suspend or for long if so? Do we know how the team will play against any opponent when that game comes up or if that opponent has a critical injury before our game with them? We don't and neither does Dallas, not by a zillion miles do they or we.

It will be interesting come December, January and hopefully February to see how we actually did and who we can blame or hold high, but one thing and only one thing is certain, we are fans of the Dallas Cowboys and we will always have differing opinions. Hey, here is hoping the opinions about a Super Bowl run are correct and all the other stuff is just being worrisome.

He didn't know me so...

Apparently I was one of those Garrett fans.. lol

 

[Oh_Canada]

There was not a defensive player available with the 4th pick that would have had any impact this year. Defensive rookies takes a year or two to start making contributions. Usually the first year, they have limited playing time.

So let's just ignore defense and draft only olineman and rb's in the first round from now on. You know the tried and true method to building a perennial winner.

Pretty much. In my opinion, if someone thinks Garrrett is a great coach that is a definite sign of blind homerism.

Fair enough. Love #1, but dont see how you can just say your fine with Garrett then. That being said, he obviously had something to with with stacking line, drafting Zeke and getting run game going again. And since that is my #1 love in football, I applaud that. Agree on #2 and definitely dont on #3. Murray needed to go simply because it was too much money for him. He wasnt worth it. The only pick I see making much of a difference is Zeke this year.

Translation?.........................Garrett is not special in the least, but he is the coach of the Cowboys, there is nothing I can do, and Ill cheer for him anyway.

Me? Get him the hell out of Dallas. We deserve better.

I would prefer drafting pass rushers in the first when available . Last draft, the top two picks was defense. Do you care to discuss blather impact they had last season? Anytime that Dsllas has drafted DBs in the first, they have never lived up to expectations, but posters want to keep trying that approach every draft. The defense needs help on the front seven before any DB is drafted high.

 

[SPCowboysfan9]

Odds move based on bets placed. Not on someone in Vegas' opinion of our draft.......
