When did it really all start to go sour?

[CowboysFaninHouston]

I can't with some of you. Those of you who feel these guys should be wrapped up in football 24/7. Like wake up, watch film, work out, watch film, work on technique, watch film, sleep, repeat until game time. No one does that. They would be burned out by week 3. Every single player has hobbies outside of football, outside of watching film and studying tape. Many have wives, kids, familes, that I assure you take up much more time than running a podcast does. And by the way, it's a podcast, not a radio show. It honestly doesn't take that much effort. Literally anyone with a smartphone can start a podcast. If he gave up the podcast do you think he would magically start dominating his opponents? No. His performance is less against better competition...really? Why do you think that is? Because they are better. Also, I'm not sure if you've noticed but our defense is rather terrible at the moment so it's not like opposing offenses need to focus on others so they are free to double and triple team Parsons. You're just not seeing the whole picture here.

I didn't say he should be wrapped up 24x7....but then again, that's what the great ones did. football above all else. its only 4 months during the season. then the off season routine. and if its what you love to do, then that's what you do. I love what I do. I wake up at 3:00 AM and can't sleep and get up and go work on my stuff. that's what being passionate about something means.

and its not about giving up podcast, but take the time it takes during the week to study more film. work on more moves. whatever else to better your craft. if he doesn't do that and just lays on the couch playing Madden, then its no good.
btw, this is not about this year alone, but Parsons previous years. again, just look at his performance against better teams and in the playoffs vs. against lesser competition.

now, am I saying he is not a good person or he doesn't have the right to do what he does? no, not saying that, but that's the difference between being really good or being one of the all time greats, specially when you have the physical ability. its the mental part of the game that sets you apart.

with that said, good for parsons. he can do whatever he wants. as a GM, I would trade him now, because he would have highest value. get a couple of first round picks. and with the additional picks I get from comp picks, I can manuver the draft, trade into the future and get more picks and help the team rebuild. parsons is not the difference between a superbowl team and not a superbowl team as evident. we need a bold move like we did with Walker trade to rebuild. but it won't happen. why? because Parsons is 6th in jersey sales in the league and 1st for the cowboys and Jerry will not trade that for anything, as he won't get money in return.

My personal opinion
Even though I wanted to draft the individual
Micah Parsons .
. Like him, dislike him, on the edge about him.
This is when the team started to go backwards. We’ve started to play like individuals and not a team. And individuals don’t win.
, Trade him or keep him

when fans accepted mediocrity.

no matter the talk, JJ has the franchise where he needs it.

I stress this so fans undertsand. The stadium mkaes money year round, this means teh average ticket sales mean little, plus for knowledge, stadiums make more bang off the corporate sales. So stop with taht nonsense.
than the media still talks about his team. He has thansgiving every year.

Precisely where he wants to be. Money, media, equals perfection.

Accept it.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

No. We didn’t. Trolls become trolls way before anyone reacts to them.

The fact you said this started in 2016 and blamed Dak lol, when we had Quincy Carter and Romo tells me you’re here solely for trolling. You have nothing meaningful to bring to the board, you are simply here to get a rise out of people. And I finally am going to be blocking you for good. You bring nothing here except vitriol and negativity. We agree on a lot of stuff, but you blaming a guy that wasn’t even a teenager when this franchise started going bad for everything wrong with the franchise solidified to me your purpose for living. And I will no longer feed you.

Good day troll.

Dak over Dallas fans get 30 words or less from me.

Anything more than that I don't read.

Sorry, bro. That's my policy.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

LOL this thread is about a when yet all I see addressed is who.

Mad people are funny.

 

[plasticman]

The day Jerry Jones decided that he was the most qualified candidate for the position of Dallas Cowboys GM.

This applies to the season, the decade, the generation.

However, specifically in regard to this season, it was the decision to not upgrade the RB position through the draft and/or veteran free agency.

 

[Whyjerry]

I think it went bad when the drunken gremlin pushed Parcells out. He showed once and for all he wasn’t serious about winning. Bill didn’t fluff the old drunk up. He hands a SB caliber team to a career loser HC like Wade Phillips. Mediocrity since.

 

[Xeven]

When Cooper and then Pollard left, things certainly went down hill a bit. Quinn defense kept us winning a some then the tires blew out.

The off season!!!

 

[offlimits]

As far as this season goes they lost it during the offseason when they did nothing and kept status quo.

THIS ^

 

[Chasing6]

Blaming this on our best player? Lol

This thing needs a shakeup and a new voice. 5 years with one coach in the NFL is a long time when the organization doesn’t have a way of doing things. Like a Pitts or Balty does. We need a motivator of men.

A new coach won't fix that with Jerry. Jerry creates the culture. Not the coach.

The history of Fat Billy as a cowboy coach as told.by some people on this board is so wildly exagerated.

 

[phildadon86]

lmao...that's telling him! Now you won't be able to read his response. (but i bet you will)

Nope. Don’t care. Enough is enough. How can you blame a guy who had been on the team 9 years for 30 years of failure? Lol. It’s nonsensical

 

[JonesBoys]

Yup. Absolutely silly. Parsons' behavior is a result of this poor environment, not the cause of it.

Exactly, under real leadership this is a different story.

My criticism of Micah has been him going AWOL in December and January but we can ill afford to shed any talent here.

I don't believe he has the maturity to be a team leader so I hope we get other leaders on defense to make him prioritize, team first.

5th year option and 2 straight years of franchise tag sounds reasonable at this point.

What say you?

After that loss in SF when Parsons called out Dak. Since that the locker room was on edge and when Dak got paid there are a lot of pissed off players in that locker room. I've seen teams that become divided and it sure looks to me like that. Either get rid of Parsons which would be stupid because he is a player you build the whole defense around or get rid of Dak. If you keep Dak though your going to have to clean house because too much division. Lamb even has issues with Dak.

This is not how you treat players that sell this many jerseys. Highest paid defender in NFL. This is the way.

You mean the guy that took over a crap crap organization and by 2007 had built a team capable of winning a title. That story?

This has got to be one of your more delusional posts and Lord knows you've had some doozies.

Drafting Michigan players. Imagine Watt instead of Taco. Imagine anyone else besides Mazi Smith and Schoonmaker.
