Who Turned Heads At Thursday's Practice?

[RustyBourneHorse]

Im going to bet you loved the Taco pick too. LOL

Funny how you are trying to pull back on ONLY that one.

You can be a homer all you want buddy, doesnt bother me.

Put it this way, I'd rather be optimistic about draft picks than pessimistic. It makes it easier to be excited for an upcoming season.

What do you think a Cowboys forum is?

I understand now. Anyone who criticizes a pick this team makes right after the draft is full of themselves because their opinion isn't worth anything.

Unless, of course, that opinion is positive. Then by all means state your opinion. That's what this board is for.

No. I think you understand only what you want to understand.

Opinions either positive or negative about a draft pick shouldn't be taken too seriously because no one here really knows anything. The problem isn't having an opinion. It's acting like that opinion really matters.

I would think you'd understand this more than some other posters because of your stance on a certain Dallas quarterback and certain former Philly quarterback. You've been wrong and instead of admitting it, you've just kind of turned it into a running joke. Wouldn't it have been better to not have taken such a hard stance against Prescott when neither you nor I knew how it was going to turn out? There was nothing wrong with believing Wentz was going to be better (he should have been since he was drafted in the top two while Dak was drafted in the fourth round), but that's different than actively disliking Dak (which you have done ... and you're not the only one). You absolutely were full of yourself in that instance, and I think you are so full or yourself that you're still unable to admit that you've been wrong about it.

I would rather someone do some research and engage in a realistic football conversation with debate and evidence to back up their stance. Blind homers and blind haters are of no use to a legitimate football conversation.

You can be both excited about the season and realistic about their chances of winning.

A discussion "forum". Not a fan "club". Obviously you dont know the difference.

Well, of course it's for discussions. And I'd imagine the majority of us are Cowboys fans. Thus, it's a discussion fan club. Doesn't mean we all have to agree on everything though.

I think if you go back to the draft boards from the time he was drafted, you'll find videos and research I did for why I liked the pick.

Depends on the criticism. People who panned the Wright pick were full of themselves. They never heard of the player but somehow knew he would have been available 2-3 rounds later.

Let me clarify. I didn't make the videos. I found them and posted them. Point remains. I did research on the player after the pick was made and liked him based on that.

 

[BourbonBalz]

Should I have said "Nobody but blind homers like Furboy liked the pick"?

After all you just admitted you feel great about all our drafts.

And just an FYI..................Bourbanbrain finally admitted he actually didnt like the pick either.

Look jack wagon, I didn’t admit anything. I questioned the pick from the beginning because I knew nothing about him. But, I didn’t bash anyone over it. Reading comprehension certainly isn’t your strong suit. Being a big-mouthed ******* is though.

and thats how most here and even elsewhere base their evaluations.
Im just asking you this Furboy, and only because I respect your thoughts... did you truly respect the authors of those evaluations , their history with the game, their knowledge of the game?
Not putting you out on trial by no means so please do no misinterpret the meaning of my response.
In a pandemic season in which players not only elected to sit out the entire season, and programs shut down,, lets be clear here... how can we trust anyone other than our own internal drafting system,,,
that is McClay and his staff.
That is why fans here freak out that Joe Smo had Wright going 3 rounds later or undrafted,, thats the speculation and the bad observation and buying into what the so called nostradamus of the NFL internet want you to believe.
You did good brother,, in no way am I dismissing your research, you can learn a lot from observation, watch the tape, and dig a bit deeper with just what you are doing now, tape review, and there are some good resources available.
You probably already know..

You said why you liked the pick. Because the Cowboys drafted him.

Go look at what I posted when they announced the pick. You'll see the videos and information I posted.

Well thats exactly what I did. LOL

Yet here we are.

 

[CowboyRoy]

You and I both agree on Wright, yet you have argued with me, gone off on a tirade, and insulted me all day like some tough punk on a fan forum. LOL

If there is anything more dumb then that, I havent seen it.

The video I found was from a channel that shows a lot of high quality highlights. I use the channel often when I post mock drafts. As for the notes I found, it was from PFN who usually do a good job, and their write ups are, from what I've read, usually involving scouts as sources. Therefore, I felt comfortable using that combination to help influence my opinion, as well as my general optimism with picks.

You are on the right path,, and people listen to those that can back a claim with clarity.. Just ask Jaylon
