No problem Ghost. Passions and frustrations run high with regards to the Cowboys and they way they're run. They frustrate me greatly. I agree with you about the DT. I wish there was an Aaron Donald there to take. That would be an easy pick.
Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (It's Charlie Time)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
Actually Ketch, Brees was taken number 32 (first pick of 2nd rd.) and Dallas took Carter at 53. Dallas forfeited their first round pick (number 7 I think) in the Joey Galloway signing (ugh). So, they didn't actually pass him up. Although let's be real, they probably would've passed him anyway had he been there. That's how bad the drafting was during that time.
Man you are not lying, the Cowboys and frustration go hand in hand. The decisions by the organization is what frustrates me the most, especially when Jerry attempts to evaluate talent for the draft.
No, but some people love them some hyperbole. Is MLS are par with EPL or Bundesliga? Well no, but it's not light years away either, despite the overly dramatic declarations of some. England, for example, has the Premier League on top, but then the next level is the Championship League, then there's League One, then League Two, and then Conference National League, etc. So now we're what, 5 or 6 levels down? Somewhere way down there's your girl's JV level. MLS is probably easily equal to Championship League level play at the moment, with some of the better teams maybe eyeing promotion.
I wasn't suggesting that they passed on him, I'm suggesting they could have made a move for Brees and instead had their sights set on Carter the entire time.
Dont forget special teams-8 out of 25. One third of the best team in our conference plays for one team. And we beat their ass.
In what was truly a miserable season, those two wins: Baylor and OU could very well be something these players use to build off, especially the young guys. Those freshman and sophomores will have tasted victory against OU in the Cotton Bowl and have now gone into McLane stadium and have defeated Baylor. That's important psychologically for the future because they wont be intimidated by team or surroundings vs. those two teams.
TCU is the team to conquer on that bucket list, and redeem Iowa State of course.
NOtre Dame is the most important game on the schedule IMO.
Tone wise, I agree. It's an important game to come out and show major improvement across the board. Can they win? Nobody will expect them to. They have to come out of that game feeling good about themselves. In that sense, I agree with your statement.
Thanks Ketch, I had made a conscience decision to never, ever think about the wasted draft pick that was Shante Carver, the Quincy Carter of the defensive side of the ball. No I'm curled up in a fetal position in the back corner of my closet cursing the abyss that has become my Cowboys. Please, no more mention of any of the first picks of the Cowboys from 1997 to 2011. For God's sake man, have a heart!
Had no idea...thought that was just another one of Jerry's brainchildren. Thanks for ruining my day jerk.
Troy worked him out and told Jerry he was going to be a star.Had no idea...thought that was just another one of Jerry's brainchildren. Thanks for ruining my day jerk.
*sigh*
I feel for you Cowboys fans. Maybe someday Jerrah will head to that big stadium in the sky.
Sincerely,
Broncos fan (feels good)
This would be the year for Charlie to start having a lot of success here doing that.
