What Cowboys Fans Are Saying

Recommended Posts

    I imagine that Jerry Jones and the rest of the Cowboys front office is getting a little desperate.  No Superbowls in a long time, and its highly doubtful they even make the playoffs this year.  Even if they beat us, they have games at Green Bay and at Buffalo, both in December.  Odds are they lose at least one of those and probably both. 

 

      Romo is a top half of the league qb, the best the Cowboys have had since Aikman left.  But he is 35 years old, and probably has a year or two left before his skills begin to drop off.  And replacing him with a QB of equal or greater ability will not be easy.   So their window is closing rapidly.   And I hope we make it close a little more on Thursday.

Bortles No

Mallet No

McCown No

Winston No

Wilson No but some people would argue it.

Bradford No

Luck Ok

Arod Ok

Mariota No

Cousins No

There's no way Romo doesn't crack the top 5 QBs the Panthers have faced. 

Ok, fine, so Romo is the third least terrible QB the Panthers will face, arguably the fourth. Yay.

A rod, wilson, luck, Mariota and Winston are 5 guys I'd take over Romotional without thinking twice. Idk where all this tony ohno is elite is coming from all of a sudden. Weren't they just considering johnny football in the draft after all of rono's  eliteness ?

Long term maybe. Thursday Tony will still be much better than all of those guys outside of Rodgers. He has the numbers and the Ws. 

 

People think he's elite because he's 3rd all time in QB rating. Has the most 4th quarter comebacks since becoming the starter. Is coming off the season in which he led the league in YPA, completion percentage and QB rating. Hasn't lost a game this year. Has won games at an 80% clip over the last two years. You know facts and such. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

If you are replying to me, I never used the phrase "qb's the panthers have faced".  He is in the upper half of all NFL qb's.

    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
