Twitter: Why did we get rid of Charvarius Ward?

[blueblood70]

Do these stats shock you? #1 Passer Rating, #1 Reception % in the NFL?

Ward was having the best camp of all our UDFAs in 2018. We traded him away to the Chiefs on Aug 30, 2018 for OL Parker Ehinger. We cut Ehinger April, 2019 without him ever appearing in a game.

it happens I dont even know who you are talking about so that how..they needed help for CB depth and we needed oline depth both were for depth.. so hes playing well, do fans love swimming in hindsight?

OMG how did this dude slip in the draft and end up with us in the first place..

lastly KC defense is NOT GOOD..they are wining because their QB can drop 40 on anyone..

this defense you speak of game up 24 points in a QTR!

so can we stop the bs posts..do you feel better bring up a no name trade that meant nothing at the time..the chiefs won on Mahomes and the offensive talent the have .. do you need a defense when your O can drop 51 points on a team in 3 qtrs.?

Yes they did, but with undrafted rookies in their first training camp, that's not unusual. Those guys aren't the focus of the team in training camp, and they are buried on the depth chart. They almost have to make your eyes pop for a team to take notice. Hell, all 32 misevaluated him coming out of college.

That is a good point in their defense, they didn't have a really long time to fully evaluate Ward. But it is a bitter pill to swallow, especially considering the mess that is now the current Dallas Cornerback crew.

I agree

He wasnt that good with this past coaching staff...so we traded him and now with better coaching became the player that he was always capable of. Another telling sign that our coaching staff sucked and couldnt get the best out of our players. 9 years of this crap...

 

[CWR]

We certainly can't get the position right. And we haven't since that iIl-advised trade up for Mo Claiborne and the big free agent signing of Carr. Claiborne never became what we'd hoped for, and Carr mpnever played up to the cost. But both left and have had decent runs elsewhere, Carr especially has been solid and well worth what the Ravens paid him. Funny how that worked out? Carr was good with the Chiefs before coming here, mediocre in Dallas, and then good again after leaving. Like another Joey Galloway, except on defense.

But follow it up with Jones, Awuzie, Lewis, and Brown, in addition to this trade and it seems like no matter what scheme/coach/players we try, the results continue to disappoint.

There more than those guys. Pacman was better when he left. We thought Newman was done also. There have been safeties too. Its happened repeatedly now.

Because our coaching staff was a clown show.

And our Owner/GM is Bozo.

Because marinelli and Richard are frauds who don't know what actual talent looks like

What about the other 31 teams that didn't draft him? Kansas City didn't draft him either. They were just trying to add depth at DB just as the Cowboys were trying to add depth at O-Line.

We actually had him on the team. Whats worse not smart enough to draft him or smart enough to draft him but be so inept to cut him.

As an undrafted free agent buried on the depth chart. In those cases a player almost has to make your eyes pop out of the coaches heads to get noticed. That's not just a Cowboy thing. It certainly made more sense to trade him at the time than Jones, Awuzie, Brown or Lewis.

 

[Carson]

Weve seen it over and over since Marinelli got here. Our DBS go elsewhere and have successful careers. Our coaches sucked.

Claiborne is a FA and Carr will be a cap casualty make it happen! Lol

Well some one on the chiefs saw it. It makes sense I mean lewis rotted on the bench under the same coaches. You can defend that bum staff if you want. They were terrible with personnel. And the performance on the field backed up my claims.

It likely wasn't even the Chiefs that initiated the conversation that led to the deal The Cowboys were in a bind with O-Linemen with Frederick and other depth players having health problems, so odds are the Cowboys went to the Chiefs trying to make a deal on Ehinger, and the Chiefs wanted depth at CB in return.

Doesn't matter who initiated the convo. Ward was actually having a great camp and preseason that year. He had the battle with Marquez white that year and it wasn't close. Didn't we cut ehringer like right away too lol. so bad

 

[big dog cowboy]

It's yet another shining example of screwups under the Garrett era. Yesterday's game was a reminder of several.

Travis Kielce, arguably the best TE in the game. But we drafted Gavin Escobar instead.

The aforementioned Ward, while we stare at a secondary that doesn't make plays facing yet another rebuild, while Ehinger never played a snap for this team.

And then seeing JJ Watt out there and being reminded of passing on his brother, a first team All-Pro, for Taco, a 2017 1st round pick that we got nothing out of.

I feel like I just got a swift kick you know where after revisiting that history.

That's what it is, and none of us have to like it.

He was on the team for literally 7 days before screwing his knee up in practice (Ehinger). Ward was balling.

We did wave Ehinger in like less than a year though. I'll never understand that trade, or why we felt the need to go grab scrubs like Tavon Austin and Jamize Olawale.

No, Ehinger got hurt after he came to the Cowboys. And sure it matters who initiated the conversation when you are suggesting the Chiefs saw something that suggested he could make a sizable contribution. If they saw that they would have initiated the conversation. Odds are they just got what they could for Ehinger, hoping Ward had some upside, and it worked out. Had the Cowboys not needed to make a trade for an O-Lineman it may have worked out in Dallas.

We let him go for nothing after having him on the team and performed well while on the team. For a bum that never played a snap. Bad coaches and bad front office

It's after the fact knowledge that it was for nothing. They couldn't have known in advance that Ehinger would get hurt.
