  1. Fewer guys are than used to be.

    This is camp life in the Gettleman era, where being good in prior seasons doesn't guarantee you a spot this season.

    I think that's more up to the coaches than DG.

    And Bell/Chandler are a testament to whether being good or not matters regarding getting a spot.

    I hope the coaches have learned their lesson, it was very costly. Ask Cam.

  2. You know a losing culture is being proud of back to back titles when in reality you still had a losing season and have yet to win a playoff game worth a poo since 2005, not including a close one vs. a third string QB, and claiming something was accomplished.

    Sorry but we've got ways to go and will have to deal with this shitfest at least for another two years.

  3. I'm white and turn 30 this year...you guys have some hideous outfits...

    Long sleeved buttons down shirt with white undershirt, khakis or slacks, boots...is my everyday wear.

    I'm not sure if the white or middle aged has anything to do with it. I thinks it's that ball and chain that makes you not give a fug...

    You all know damn well you didn't score your wives wearing fuging rainbow flip flops and strap on glasses, Jesus Christ

  4. Chill out sweetheart.

    I was simply implying that the Cowboys are mediocre. Over the past 2 decades they have a .500 record and 3 playoff wins, never advancing past the divisional round.

    They are the definition of mediocrity.

    Some teams have been great (New England)

    Some teams have been awful (Cleveland)

    Some teams have been hot/cold (Carolina)

    Some teams have been mediocre (Dallas)

    Well, going by regular season wins/losses the Cowboys are #10. The Panthers are #20 since the existence of the Panthers.

    Since the existence of the Panthers the Cowboys have gone to the playoffs more than the Panthers.

    Since the existence of the Panthers, the Cowboys have won a super bowl.

    Other than excuses such as being a new franchise, there is really no argument as the superior team.

    All you have to do is add 3 previous years and you'll get more trophies to their record as well, but since the Panthers didn't exist...

    Does that make them great? No. But if we are comparing the teams...facts are facts. If mediocre means 3 (or 4?) trophies in 25 years, I'd rather be mediocre than 'hot/cold'.

  5.   

    Cowboys: 158-146 W/L regular season

    Panthers: 144-159 W/L regular season

    Cowboys: 5x Division Champion

    Panthers: 4x Division Champion

    Cowboys: 3-8 W/L playoffs

    Panthers: 7-6 W/L playoffs

    Cowboys: N/A

    Panthers: 1x NFC Champion (lost SB XXXVIII)

    Cowboys vs Panthers

    Regular season: 9-1, Cowboys

    Playoffs: 2-0, Panthers

     

    You're skewing the results. Why 1996?

     

    Basically the Panther's have gone deeper into the playoffs. (if you're going by 1996 and so forth)

     

    But, they've been to the playoffs less amount of times.

     

    Yes, the Panthers beat the Cowboys when they play them.

     

    But, OVERALL, the Cowboys have a better/higher winning percentage thant the Panthers. (which do you think is more important).

     

    Lastly, and perhaps the most important factor. You picked 1996 out of your ass for some reason (really why 1996?) as if the Panthers didn't exist in 1995. But they did, and went 7-9. While the Cowboys went all the way to the Super Bowl and won a trophy.

     

    So...I'm sorry but since the Panther's existence the Cowboys have been the better team. Whih may have not been your argument....but it seems to me an argument of the superior team since the youngests' existence is more accurate in finding that answer than just taking a year (1995) off the books for no good reason.

     

     

  6. Yep, he is right. Elite money should ONLY go to elite Qbs. That means Brady, Rodgers and Manning...even Manning is a bit too old to command it, and Brady too. Brady took less though. These are very special QBs, who come along once every 5-10 years.

     

    Those QBSs are basically the entire offense. And even the offensive cordinator. They don't need weapons, just solid players. That's three QBs out of 32. QBs who get their kind of money but dont play their type of game are going to kill their teams, and he is right, defense is much more important.

  7. Some interesting bands here. I'm surprised at Slipknot, Incubus and the Eagles. Were they just boring or what?

    Slipknot's main drummer was awesome, it became the reason I saw them (I'm a drummer), though I love their 87062134 album and Iowa was ok. Corey (lead singer) sounds great for one or two songs, after that he just dies out in not sure why. Some bands that yell a lot and have intensity record one song at a time, then go live and suck. Others however do quite well, yelling like that takes practice and can really fug up your vocals. Perhaps the reason Slipknot pussified their music after Iowa. The lead singer of Otep and Staind as well as 90s Manson are the best at upholding intense energy throughout a 2-3 hour show.

    Incubus was boring. They played acoustic versions of any song slightly heavier or faster than their normal stuff. It was really annoying. Sounded like crap too. The best thing about their concert was when they asked for the girls to throw their bras on stage...some lots of great boobies.

    I saw Eagles somewhat recently and they were old. The atmosphere sucked because it was a bunch of old people lol. The Eagles to me though influenced a lot of my favorite bands now days. Brian Warner (lead singer of Marilyn Manson's favorite band is the Eagles. So maybe it was just mean but everything about that concert was slow paced.

    Best all around concert I have ever been to date was Pantera in Dallas Texas, Staind and 1999 Marilyn Manson-great music and visuals. Nine inch nails has had some great ones too. Eric Clapton was just amazing. He really knows his music.

  8. Best:

    Mid-90s Marilyn Manson

    Eric Clapton

    Alice in Chains (original vocal)

    Early 2000 Staind

    Early 2000 Tool

    Sevendust (don't even like this band)

    Late 90s Metallica

    Soundgarden

    Cold

    Gwar (not for the band)

    Otep

    Pantera

    Worst:

    Orgy

    Shinedown

    Eagles

    Any country concert (Garth, Collin Ray, Vince Gill)

    Incubus

    Slipknot (like them, suck live)

    Union Underground (like them, suck live)

    The best concerts are ones with raw instruments and sound just like the album. That's true talent. Best bands for that was Old tool, old Staind, and soundgarden.

    Can't wait for Carolina Rebellion I can finally see Korn and Slayer for the first time. I want to see how Manson does this old and Breaking Benjiman.

  9. Of corse I can, the only team with a losing record in there. The only team in there that has massive cap issues. The team that didn't belong there last year...the Panthers. And we probably won't belong there this year either, nothing's changed.

    That said, I think this is the last year we will suck. 2016, our stars will settle in with new contacts and we will be out of cap hell. Not to mention Gettles' draft picks will begin to bloom. Light at the end of the tunnel JR and Hurney put us in, in 2010...finally.

  10. And why do you think that a draft pick even in the first round will magically fix our O line at left tackle.  For that matter 2 rookies.  I would think that by now folks have figured that linemen rarely come in and perform adequately in their rookie season.  Look at Matthews in Atlanta who was selected 6th in the draft which is long way from 25.  He was supposed to come in and fix their line.  Instead he struggled mightily.  Frankly you better hope Remmers and Oher and Martin can come in and start right away because they are going to be better than any rookie we are bringing in,

     

    You should read a lot of my posts on the subject and you'll find I never said a draft pick will fix an oline. I have constantley said a pick is a long term investment, just look at my posts. Tackles will take time. I said we need talent, we need players that can be coached and and taught to play the position and have time to learn and grow. We need investments other than players other teams didn't want. And as I said a million times on this forum having a rookie suck vs. a 3 year vet like Bell is a HUGE difference, one is learning the position and sucking will be a learning curve vs. just sucking and having no absolutley no future because the talent isn't there and because the're not rookies. Either way there's going to be some bad play going on, I'd rather it be a rookie progressing than a player like Bell struggling because he flat out sucks. Drafting is important to make sure you're covering all your bases trying to find an upgrade to two of the worst tackles in the NFL.
