I know you are a Cowboy fan, but I disagree.
On the Cowboy’s current roster I believe The Cowboy’s have one of, if not the most talented teams in the NFL.[/quote]
The Cowboys are one of those teams with a lot of flash and little substance. That’s why they will never win a championship as long a Jones is calling the shots. He gets hung up on the “Oooo… Shiny” aspect of picking out money players and that doesn’t work with a salary cap. The other players left to fill in the gaps are sub par and the stars he signs (most of them are also questionable) cant make up for that. He won championships when the salary cap was a non-issue and he could buy a team (he did win one the year after its introduction). [/quote]
Jerry used to get hung up on the “Oooo… Shiny” aspect a little, but Garret is helping change that in his own way. The Cowboy’s have been drafting ‘The Right’ type of guys the past couple of years.
They used our fisrt draft choice on a center for God’s sake. That isnt a very ‘shiny’ choice. And, if you know anything about the current team you know it was a good choice, might even be a great one.[/quote]
While I am not sure I with you on how much Jones listens to Garrett (he doesn’t), Am I understanding you correctly that you are saying Jones would still be hung up on the shiny players were it not for Garrett which would ultimately make Jones responsible for your teams decade plus of mediocrity? Not exactly great owner material then is he?[/quote]
What I believe is that Jerry goes for a winning team and yes he liked high profile players to wear the star. Still does.
It worked for him with Deon.
I think when Parcells was the coach and did not want to sign T.O. and Jones did anyway, it changed his mind a little about his ‘shiny’ approach.
I think Garrett does have some say. His approach is not for the ‘shiny’ players.
If Jerry was still looking for that ‘shiny’ guy he would have signed Ocho Cinco a couple of years ago. A couple of other players that came up in free agency that the cowboy’s ignored. oh yeah, Tebow. I know he isn’t a ‘shiny’ football player with skill in throwing the ball, but could you imagine him in Dallas? That would have been EPIC in media attention.[/quote]
Dez Bryant is more the shiny I am talking about. All the physical ability in the world, but doesn’t have his head screwed on straight and will never make a truly exceptional football player. But he looks the part so Jerry was all over him and way way overpaid him.
[/quote]
Dez Bryant was a gamble, and headache for a couple of years. But, I have no complaints about that pick or how he is maturing. Gonna be great. i could name 31 other teams that would take Dez Bryant on their rooster[/quote]
Name one on the Patriots?[/quote]
Huh? Yes, the Patriots would take Dez Bryant on their roster.[/quote]
Sorry, Misread, thought you said I could name 31 other teams with a Dez Bryant on their team. By that I took player with potential but hugely overpaid. [/quote]
No problem man. I don’t think Dez is averpaid. He is paid the same as other players at that position and that draft position. Miles Austin might be overpaid right now(suprised he wasn’t brought up) because he can’t stay on the field. But, Dez is far from overpaid. It’s a fact…It’s science[/quote]
Dez is worth the money.
Miles is trade bait, if JJ was smart, get me some fucking DLineman.
