State of Cowboys Union?

[Mr B]

It is possible that the defense takes a step forward this season. If preseason is any indication it looks like Jerry might have found a stud in Sam Williams. And Parsons should also advance a bit.

Not feeling great about the offense though SMH.

Thin and OL, and thin at WR.

We need some players to step up and surprise us. Maybe Zeke has an unexpected return to form because he knows it's a contract year and will be released after this. Maybe Jalen Tolbert surprises everyone. Something unexpected needs to happen though.

Don't expect any kind of return by our famous substance abusing molly junkie. His body and mind are cashed.

What’s your opinion on what the defense can do though?

[Mr B]

We've had 3 playoff wins since 2009 and 4 since the 96 SuperBowl win which was 26 years ago.

Romo had 2 playoff wins and Dak has 1 so far.

I believe you are currently the only Cowboy poster in here that takes these lengths to defend him.

I'm one of like 3 or 4 active posters in here

I do really wish there were more posters here.

I think the defense will be the strength of the team if they clean up penalties on that side of the ball. IMHO, the defense just might be a DT & another LB away from being a very dangerous defense no want wants to face.

Till then we can continue to hold down the fort till more show up and stay.

I had to go back and look it up. Your right, its 3. I was having brunch this morning watching First Take. Maddog and Steven A. were going at it in a debate about the Cowboys. Both of them said it was only 2 games in 27 years. You would think ESPN and their guest with all those resources would get it right before going on the air running their mouths.
So anyways, its 3 playoff games in 27 years and counting. The new generation Cowboy fan must be so proud of that accomplishment.

27 years ago was 1995. We won a Super Bowl in 1996.

Anyway AGAIN, no one is celebrating that and like I've said multiple times now I'm sure all fans are frustrated by it. You keep trying to paint me as a fan who is happy with those results, that's called a "straw man argument".

I'm arguing that we've been better than "3rd worst in the NFL" over that time. Dak is 25-7 vs NFCE teams would you really rather have those owners?

As requested:

Do me a favor and post this in the Cowboy forum. State of Cowboy's union. Cutting and pasting isn't my forte as you well know.

Happy to be of service!

Even the Jaguars have more playoff wins than us since our last Super Bowl.

Jerry's doing a hell of a good job as Owner and GM. Keep it going !!!! Like Steven A. always says, "What can go wrong, will go wrong" when it comes to the Cowboys. They screwed up the draft this year, so what's next, penalties, McCarthy getting fired, injuries, lack of depth, dishing out bad contracts, dak not being the guy and throwing INT's in the biggest of moments?

You can’t really say they screwed up the draft considering we don’t what these players will become yet. What if Tyler Smith becomes a pro bowl LT? Is this draft still a failure? What if Jalen Tolbert ends up just as good as Gallup? Or of the two TE’s they kept turn into starters, would this still be a terrible draft?

They didn't take the players Bjj wanted. So they clearly failed.

[Micah Prescott]

That image goes in line with what I just said. The Cowboys have been a very successful regular season team and a very unsuccessful post season team. Everyone is frustrated by it, AGAIN, and I would cast blame across all involved. Jerry, coaches, players, everyone. It's not just the fault of one person. Jerry is owner and GM but he isn't the one out there playing football. His influence can only go so far.

And as far as the current draft goes obviously the 1st round pick is a massive success given the situation with Tyron Smith. We need tackles and even more tackles. Before seeing anyone play and knowing how good or bad anyone is, thank god they took Tyler.

[Micah Prescott]

And again Dak is 25-7 vs the NFCE. So as of very recent times Dallas has been the better NFCE team.

And they are favored to win it again this year, we'll see though.

With Jerry's leadership, that's all we can do now. I'm not saying any of you guys are saying that. I'm SAYING THAT. COWBOYS SCREWED UP THE OFF SEASON AND DRAFT. Starting with letting Cedric Wilson go. Oh no wait, it was the contract they dished out to Elliot 4 years ago that is still haunting us today. Oh no wait, it was drafting Prescott. Just another Tony Romo with a better tan and hip action. Oh no wait, it was Jerry promoting himself to GM in 2002. Oh no wait, forget all that stuff. As long as McCarthy cleans up the penalty fiasco and his clock management lack of skills, the Cowboys will win the Super Bowl.

You know what would help you, letting go of expectations. The season hasn't even started yet & you're already complaining. It is just entertainment at the end of the day.

You might take some joy in life. Instead of being miserable all the damn time.

The Hawks are garbage at the moment. Which is fine. I have no expectations going in. I actually am rooting for them to lose games at this point. I'd rather they tank & have a higher draft pick.

Takes all the stress & negative feelings away. You should try it!

I’m not disagreeing that they f-ed up this off season. They have more than enough cap space currently to have been able to resign Cedrick Wilson and to have kept La’el Collins. They totally **** the bed there. And I said “they” not just Jerry. There’s enough blame to go around and those two whiffs I put squarely on Stephen Jones. He’s the money man with the team now not Jerry. Jerry is basically just the face of the team and gets to try to spin whatever narrative he wants (since he still owns the team). Will McClay is probably the only bright spot in that front office with his ability to find talent in the draft.

The problem is the Jones’ (both of them) allow non-scouts to have an influence on who’s drafted. They allowed Rod Marinelli to have the loudest voice in the war room when they took Taco over TJ Watt “because of fit”. Will McClay and the players he’s drafted are really the only reason this team has been competitive the last few years. It certainly hasn’t been because of Jason Garrett or Mike McCarthy. Both coaches have had teams that were top 5 in most penalized teams in the NFL.

So it’s not just Jerry, there’s plenty blame to go around for all of them.

That’s where I’m at with this team. We’ll kind of. I actually expect them to fail this year. I think they will finish around 7-10 and no playoffs. I’m going to watch every game and just enjoy the good plays when they happen.

[Mr B]

I agree 1000% with this take.

After watching all this crap the past 20 years I'm not sure If I will ever see the Cowboys in another Super Bowl. Something many of us in here remember, when we were at the ESPN Cowboy forum back in 2008 was a poster by the name of PDay that predicted the Cowboys would not win another Super Bowl in his lifetime as long as Jerry owned the team. He's just a few years older than me.

Dallas has had good & competitive teams nearly every year. Which is way better than the alternative.

Teams like Detroit, Jacksonville, Washington, Miami & the Jets are perennial losers. Always rebuilding. They might sniff the playoffs once every 5-7 years if things bounce their way.

You simply come off as entitled.

We've been rebuilding for 26 years. Every mistake is a constant revolving door year after year. One year its injuries. The nest year its a bad draft. Then its a bad trade here and there. Then its bad contract after bad contract with certain players that prevent them from getting the final few pieces need when we get close. Red Flag players has always come back to nip us in the butt every 3-4 years. Lousy head coaches. Bad culture and front office for over 20 years. I mean I could go on and on here. Complete lack of leadership from the top. And Yes, I'm spoiled and entitled after growing up in the 70's. Have always admitted it.
