Wait, this is a “I told you so” thread about a guy that didn’t play today and had zero impact on the game? And just three games into this rookie season so no one’s magic ball has any idea about him just yet? Oh boy
Yes, basically. But more specifically:
Duece is not Sanders or Sproles.
Duece is not going to split carries with Pollard.
Duece is not going to be RB2
Duece is not going to out rush Zeke
Duece is not replacing Turpin
Duece is not playing special teams

The icing was tonight when Duece didn't play a snap.

Just wanted to give those who thought any of the above a nice, new thread to state their errors. But nothing.

Maybe later. Maybe start their own thread.

He can't contribute if they won't let him on the field

We need to ask where was the 2023 draft class period?

Where was Schoon? Where was Mazi? Dd anyone from this year's draft class do ANYTHING
I saw Schoonmaker bobble and drop a pass.

He had ZERO contribution this game. No special plays for him. No NOTHING.

I was trying to be patient. But he is a JOKE. A novelty. Contributes nothing. A complete waste of a roster spot.

Yes, he was GIVEN a roster spot. He was handed a spot because of his dad. The big joke is on you and Jerry.

I admitted when I was wrong about him making the 53. He shouldn't have, but he did. Where are all the hypsters calling him the next Sanders? The ones saying hed be splitting carries with Pollard? The ones saying hed even out rush Zeke?

Man up. Admit you were wrong and I was right. It's ok. Doesn't hurt.

My thoughts on the above:

Agreed he was given a roster spot, nobody drafts a 5'5" 175 lb rb. Nobody. There was nobody left on their draft board, so they did a coach a favor.

But more than Deuce, where was Mazi? Your NUMBER ONE DRAFT CHOICE. ONE tackle. ONE!
How about Schoonmaker? ZERO catches.
And it's not just the rookies. Cooks had SEVEN targets, and TWO catches. This a veteran receiver. Guess we know why he's on his what, fifth team?

Cowboys aren't getting better. The names change but the failures continue....

Lol. I gotcha. It’s probably a little too early to say he is a bust at this point as well.

I've posted some thoughts on Mazi in this thread. He is a disappointment so far.

We all should have been alarmed when he said he didn't like playing football, just liked hitting people. That is showing. No progress.

Schoon gets a pass since he missed almost all of camp. We franchised Shultz and he was pathetic as a rookie.

He didn't play because Rico had a great game.

Depends. If you thought he would be Sanders, then definite bust.

If you're happy he's still on the team, then yay you.

There is 159 other things you can gripe about. If you’re worried about Vaughn, you’re just looking to argue and troll.

I think you’re taking the narrow view. The Cowboys are he best team in the NFL.

Probably because he sucks and is inept just like everyone else on this team. Trash knows trash, treasure knows treasure.
Here's some trash/treasure info for you. The Cardinals are trash and won't make the playoffs. The treasure that is the Cowboys will be in the postseason. Thats the goal. Get to the playoffs and then all bets are off. Its anybodys game

Maybe. Probably a little trolling, but I think Ibe earned the right.

How 'bout a salient point about Duece? Just to keep things on the up and up?

What really is his role on this team? Offense could have used a spark. No Duece. OL issues. More short passes? Isn't that what Duece was supposed to be so great at?

Maybe unleash that special Duece package? We saving it for later?

But yet, nothing. So what's his value? Is it that he'll just get better and better during practice? And at some point actually be good enough to contribute? Just keeping him around as a backup to the backup? As if anyone seriously thinks he can ever be a backup.

So what's the deal? Why have him?

I am just not sure why chose to start a thread about Vaughn of all people when Dallas had one of their worst and most embarrassing regular season losses in several years. If you wanted to complain about the the defense, the QB, coaches, then I am with you.

I'll admit it. This is to settle a Duece grudge.

If you're not one of the legion of Duecers I've debated the last 3 or 4 months, then just stay clear.

Not so sure about the defense. It's built to play with a lead.

QB? Check
Coaches, I haven't posted anything but yes, it was a dud.
Can I add Jerry?
