With all the fun bye-week arguing, I had to go back to our off-season thread... there are some real gems in there (I bumped the thread just for fun the draft stuff picks up around page 42 or so). Here are some quotes (of course some of these are making me look good!)... all in good fun Gents!
Me: Pre Draft (nailed the instant impact part):
Quote:
Ok guys, call your shot!
My opinion has not changed. This team needs a RB more than some think. #4 isn't too early for a guy that will touch the ball 25 times a game. Not gonna bash other prospects, but none of them will have the instant impact that this player will have on this team. Our offense was out of sync even with Romo last year... We need a threat out of the backfield to really make it click and none of the RBs last year threatened the other team.
My mind is made up... Team Zeke!
DSAg44 Post Dak pick (grand slam nailed it):
Quote:
Best pick of the draft!!!
Should have taken him in the second
Me Post Dak pick (not bad either):
Quote:
Really like this pick considering its our comp pick. Let's put it this way... I love my Aggie brother, but he makes so much more sense than Stephen McGee ever did.
Dak either blows up to be Romo's replacement, or he turns into a career backup. Either way nice pick here.
Southlake Post Draft (juuusssst a little bit outside):
Quote:
Disappointing draft for the Cowboys: Had a great chance to really stack the D. Immediate needs on D were not filled. Coulda had a prime defensive player with the first pick. Already had good running backs in place. Let's see if Zeke even starts. No help this year with the second pick - maybe ever if he doesn't fully recover. Whiffed on Lynch. 3rd end 4th picks are just that: 3rd and 4th picks.
Not sure the Cowboys got remarkably better.
PooDoo Post Draft (Dallas is #1 in 3rd down conversions this year)
Quote:
If you are happy with yards that's great. I'd like a running game that can convert a 3rd & 3... Punch it in on the goal line... Take control during the last 4 minutes and close out the game.
That's what I expect out of Elliott and that's what the Cowboys didn't have.
ce1994 Post Draft (wishing I had the cry/laugh emot right about now... wow!)
Quote:
Yes, I do. I think McFadden is better than Elliot. I think you can get three more years out of McFadden.
Gentlemen, EVERYTHING depends on Romo. Everything. He goes down it is another clunker. The Cowboys needed Ramsey. Badly.
After Romo retires the Cowboys are garbage.
Dude, this is way, way, waaaaaaaay too early to gloat. Give it three seasons of consistent production, improvement, and, you know, on field play. If this team starts to fall apart, I will hunt you down and (metaphorically) lose my S. Do NOT be THAT guy. I beg you.
This is equivalent to Cubs fans gloating and planning World Series victory parties. Please, don't tempt the sports gods. As a Rangers and Mavs fan I can tell you, this kind of grandstanding almost always backfires.
