"Was the Cowboys' Season a Failure?"· Page 2

One thing I heard from the local sports radio guys all day today was... you just never know if you'll ever get the #1 seed ever again. Troy Aikman had it only twice in his career per the guys on 105.3...all of them were still lamenting losing to Rodgers, oops, the Packers. Dan Marino was mentioned. Things shift quickly in the NFL. There is absolutely no guarantee Dallas is back in the playoffs much less a 1 seed. This might be the best chance Dak and Zeke ever have at winning it all.

The best moment of the radio show whining was when they broke from football to do the Top 6 MLK quotes...one of the Top 6 was:

"I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear." ---MLK Jr. The radio guy who didn't read the quote commented: I HATE YOU AARON RODGERS!

It is a huge failure to squander ANY post season opportunity. We think it's a given and it kind of is because we have one of the most special players ever to lacem up. Those days are soon to fade. Carpe diem. Let's not taste the failure Cowboys fans aren't enjoying today.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Considering the goal of playing is to be the team hoisting the Lombardi after all the games are played, 31 teams seasons end up as failures every year.

Dallas is now probably the most scary team going forward as of right now. Once they dump Romo and eat his dead money next year, still gaining over 5 million in cap space. They are looking at a couple years of having the money to keep a WR for Dak to throw to, to keep the Oline together to block for Elliot, improve the defense possibly and/or WR groups before Dak and Elliot are going to be due their payday. Thankfully they have Romo's terrible contract to somewhat limit they next year but after that look out if they manage it right.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

The Cowboys season is absolutely not a failure in terms of long term views. I'm telling you now, they are replacing the Seahawks in the NFC. They have a great OL, young QB, young RB that are both studs from what we saw. They could also have a helluva LB in Jaylon Smith if that nerve gets working.

As for this season, yeah, you get the #1 seed and get bounced by a team that hasn't won in your State since the '60s you failed.

Overall, the future (dammit) is bright for Cowboys and they get to enjoy watching the Packers win the Super Bowl.

We beat the Cowboys a few years back in Dallas but that wasn't a playoff game.

It was extra sweet beating Jason freaking Garrett who may not even have that job if he hadn't beaten us.

Call it now - in 3 years when their o-line depletes from FA, the cowboys will not be the same team. Elliott will be like AP, eventually. Once the Cowboys lose all their weapons, we will see the real Dak Prescott - aka the new Colin Kaepernick.

But the next two years are THEIR window. But they will never win the SB. Why? They have Dak. Who is getting better, yes, but once he loses his weapons will never be the same QB again.

Should have started Romo.

EDIT: On the flip side and on a totally random subject, in about 2-3 years we will see the emergence of Paxton Lynch.

Dak was impressive, but so was Kapernick with his OL and Gore. Young Murray was impressive too.

The 2 biggest problems for Dallas are (1) Scot McCloughan [I am so glad he is not in our division], who is the best college talent evaluator in the NFL [And yaw'll know how I feel about Ted]; and (2) Jerry Jones.

Jones is a degenerate football gambler, who goes for the brass ring when it is reach and those guys NEVER are successful. When he tries to compete with McCloughan by co-opting players with huge upsides and injuries to their bodies or brains, he will eventually rain Armageddon down on his franchise.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.
