What it means to be a Cowboy fan

When Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning was a free agent a few years ago, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones never pursued him.

 

That’s because, Jerry Jones said, he already had a franchise quarterback in place in Tony Romo.

 

“I was so committed to Romo, so committed to his future,” Jerry Jones said Friday on KRLD-FM. “Of course, Peyton has been a friend for a long time and someone we respect a lot. There were a lot of moving parts during that particular time. The real reason it didn’t work out is because we are as committed as we are to Tony.”

So he didn't go after Peyton Manning...because he had Tony Romo :blink:

 

I'd say that pretty well sums up what it is to be a Cowboy fan these days.

Johnson did't do so good when he had to coach under the salary cap.

 

Minus the ability to outspend everybody (and the benefits of a trade made by an idiot GM) the Cowboys have been decidedly average to below average.

 

And the fact that they paid Tony Romo a contract like Rodgers, Brady or Manning would deserve still boggles my mind :wacko:

      Hoping you guys keep it up

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️

      Cam on ‘The Bank’

      It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
