Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Don't be surprised when these things happen...)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
seriously, no kidding. You would have to be a very delusional Cowboy fan to think otherwise. The next thing we will be hearing is Jerry Jones is the best owner/General Manager ever.

I look forward to the day when everyone can spell Javonne's last name properly. It's Shepherd..not Shepard...not Shephard...not Sheperd...it's Shepherd!
Barry Sanders gets a lot of love as the GOAT, but I don't think he is.
He may be the best "pure runner" and had the most electrifying single runs, but he wasn't a complete back.
Barry Sanders would rip off an incredible run for 49 yards, and then they give him the rock one play later and he loses three yards. Then the offense is in 2nd and 13. Passing down at a disadvantage. I believe he led the NFL in most runs for a loss and most runs for no gain most years he played.
He had 10 years in the league and won how many playoff games? You don't think he had any decent OL during that entire time?
Barry Sanders was an incredible runner and I do think he's top 5, but not THE best.
Agree and ranking Smith number one is the most "homer" statement i've seen Ketch make. Fricking laughable. Smith wasn't as good as OJ, Sanders, Dickerson, Payton or Earl, and it''s not even close. Cowboy fan fantasies never end.
These top defense and offense rankings might be more doable than you think.
Check out my threads where I compared Texas’ offense and defense to championship level offenses and defenses.

In summary, the 2017 Texas offense and defense ranked the following:
2017 Texas Team Offense Rank: 52nd
2017 Texas Points Per Game: 29.5
2017 Texas Team Defense Rank: 29th
2017 Texas Points Per Game Allowed: 21.2

I get it’s just one year but does anyone really think it’s a good idea to have 47% of a recruiting class oos? This is the state of TEXAS, for Heavens sake.
I hope this isn’t a trend.

None of them have a resume within a 10-foot pole of Smith.

Thought you knew more about football. Oh well. Homerism can be powerful.
Didn’t Barry Sanders rush for negative yards in a playoff loss to Green Bay? Maybe in 93 or 94?
@Ketchum giving the board permission to dream small with this offense.
Shepherd. Like the guy who's the boss of all the sheep. It makes sense when you think about it. Deal with it, Ag.

Ok @Ketchum .... great thoughts and I seriously appreciate your logic.... Texas kids are being recruited by everyone... so the door is open for Texas to go after out of state kids. I get that, and I didn’t see it as an issue under Charlie Strong and I don’t see t as an issue now.... just go after kids that can help your program.....
Real question is how does Herman crack into the DFW talent.... who is the coach to go in and break the OU stranglehold?
Love the go pro in the dogs mouth....
Thanks for putting up with all th off season BS!

So James Lofton pays because the Green Bay teams he was on weren't very good other than him? I disagree with that. If Lofton and Jerry Rice switched teams, and especially QB, Lofton would have had defining moments too. Lofton did more with less better than anybody else I've seen.
You still haven't tried to make a case for any player ahead of him.
Emmitt's resume is whipped out in front of everyone and it's BIG.
Texas has to do better in-state. Period. DFW is an area of weakness in the program.
If Walter Payton had Emmitt Smith’s offensive line, there would only be a conversation about who is #2. Sweetness almost did it all by himself
