In college, I actually wrote a several page paper on being a pessimist so there’s that. Ironically, my parents are both very positive people so I can’t blame it on DNA. How long have you been a Cowboys fan? Do you blame me for being pessimistic?
This franchise has sucked hind teet for over two decades and you can’t understand why I’m not so positive about the future after Jerry over paid for the most expendable position on the field, over paid for a LB to prove a point and our two best defensemen walk because of the players/positions I just mentioned. We did finally sign two guys past their prime for the interior though and Jerry has everyone on the hook once again. It’s actually very comical hw gullible and naive some fans are. Jerry is the modern day P.T Barnum.
Well I guess I was right on the mark there wasn't I? Looks like you're still putting the finishing touches to that "pessimist" college paper. LOL
In answer to your question, I've been watching Cowboys since before the Ice Bowl. I'm well aware of their 20 some year dry spell, and do I blame you for being somewhat pessimistic due to the past? No.
But what's past is past, that doesn't mean you can't give credit where credit is due. Don't let that pessimistic attitude prevent you from giving credit where it's due.
They've brought in a real HC for a change, but you can't fill every single position with top quality players in 1 season. You know that.
If we get a good draft this year, I expect to see the Cowboys look a lot better than they did last year. That's a start.
And just because we're not all lifelong pessimists like you doesn't make us all "gullible and naïve" as you so arrogantly put it. Some of us out here have been around the horn a few times as well.
