The Butt Hurt is Strong With This One

I didn't click on the link....but it says up front on the title it's a fantasy football perspective. 

and yeah, I would think Brooks wouldn't have a great fantasy outlook at all this year.  Hurt.  Eased in to a crowded backfield......on a bad team.

Wow, I half expected tubby on the right to break down in tears at some point. Obviously they’re just Cowboys fans without any knowledge about any other teams. “OL is atrocious” there’s no evidence to qualify that statement. This OL is 3/5 different from last year with different coaching and schemes, we have no idea how they’ll be, but at the very least it was highly invested in. Pinning fantasy hopes for Brooks on Bryce is a fool’s errand.

Must be a Cowboys’ fan. Eat your heart out, Jerry Jones!!!

They both have lots of Dallas memorabilia on the walls behind them.

And Fug fantasy football!!! The only fantasy I'm concerned with involves Scarlett Johansen and Salma Hayak showing up at my door with with a jar of coconut oil bottle of good bourbon .

before the draft i had heard that the cowboys were really wanting him as their new bell cow RB. they'd been following his recovery progress and hadn't seen anything to dissuade them from drafting him.

Quote

"In my 30 years, I thought it was the best interview that I've ever interviewed with a player," Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said late Thursday at the team's post-Round 1 press conference. "He's [Brooks] outstanding. He's just outstanding. He's a great football player. We've got him high, high, high. And he's a good player." 

His son Stephen, the Cowboys COO and executive vice president, then elbowed him, saying "you're showing the [draft] board!"

Dallas never had the chance to select Brooks at pick No. 56 since the Carolina traded up six spots from 52nd overall to 46th overall to select the Texas Longhorn. Brooks being the first running back off the board at 46th overall makes the 2024 draft the second-latest the first running back had ever come off the board, ahead of only the 2014 draft (Bishop Sankey 56th overall). 

 

The 2023 Second Team All-Big 12 running back averaged 129.5 scrimmage yards per game in 2023, the second-most in the Big 12, thanks to the six-foot, 216-pound back's combination of speed, agility and acceleration. Brooks' ability to make a single cut and then float to the outside before accelerating into the open field appears to be magical. Last November at TCU, he was on fire with 104 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns on 21 carries, but his final collegiate season was cut short by a torn ACL injury he suffered in the fourth quarter that night. 

No team possessed more information about Brooks' rehabilitation process than the Cowboys because Dallas' team doctor Dan Cooper performed the running back's ACL surgery.

    • FLA showed everyone it’s not about superstars. they bullied the best line in the NHL into obscurity. they played hard, were in the right positions, and ran over everything that got in their way.
    • That’s really not what you said and when I even expressed doubt as to your intentions with the post you doubled down and remained unclear on whether you were trying to drag Dean Smith for whatever reason. You just got the facts wrong, which if you don’t follow the local college programs like you say then maybe you just were mistaken and thought Smith didn’t win championships or have legit superstars, and that is ok, but you just doubled down when my first post was more corrective than anything. I’m not sure what you expect posting objectively false things like “RBA has a lot of wins with nothing to show for it like Dean Smith” (paraphrasing) on a message board with plenty of UNC fans. I’m not taking it as a personal affront, we can agree to disagree, Dean Smith’s legacy fortunately will not be affected by this conversation. Screw the (Florida) Panthers?
    • Bring in the free agents and trades.  Florida is the best team and unless Tulsky makes it happen, it’s more of the same…which isn’t bad…but it’s time to win a goddamn cup.
