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:

      Panthers decision to pass on Walker

      The preference for smallish NTs was bizarre to me. I mean, you're already looking for a bit of a unicorn with a NT anyway trying to find a guy who can consistently hold his ground against double teams. Now you want to find a smaller, quicker guy who can do it? Yeah, good luck with that...

      Yep. I had 2 shoulder surgeries (same shoulder) in college. What you say is true because the joint is a ball-in-socket joint and not like a knee, which is a hinge joint.  Another reason (this from my orthopedic surgeon) it is more difficult to overcome is because people want and need to walk, so they are constantly rehabbing the knee.  You can protect the shoulder and avoid using it.  And you can play with a banged up shoulder because it does not reduce your game speed much.  As long as I kept my arm in tight (close to my rib cage) I was fine--but when I extended my arm, I felt vulnerable and it was weaker, it seemed. A shoulder issue was common with LBs.  I don't recall seeing a LB in the dressing room without a surgical scar on is shoulder.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      F- pick. Taking a hurt RB is the dumbest thing a team starved for tallent could have done in the 2nd. As for planning for 2025, they could have just waited since he brought nothing to 2024. That entire argument that they were playing the long game is like such a copout, just admit it was busted from every angle. They bet poorly and lost. It was a dumb pick and a complete waste of a chance to pick up a meaningful player this team still desperately needs. Picks like that is why this team is picking top 10 ever y year.
