A 25 year sample size of mediocrity and futility says we will still be all sizzle and no steak. Thats the way the NFL is built. Teams should only be superbowl caliber once every ~30ish years.

I"m not angry about it. Just tired of dedicating time to such a franchise. This year is a once in a lifetime aberration with covid and all of the injuries. I'll put it to you this way. In baseball I'm a Dodgers fan. Always have been. Finally saw them win after a 32 year drought. Prior to this year, despite their success my attitude was always so what when fans would say hey we've won x number of division titles in a row or went to the World Series 2 years in a row. So what? What did you win? That is going to be my attitude moving forward with the Cowboys. We drafted so and so. We signed this free agent. We retained one of our own. We are the off season champions. This is the year. So what? Excuse my cynicism if I have heard it before. Go out on the field and show me something. I'll believe it when I see it.

Those fines, I believe, are no longer forgivable by the franchise. I am pretty sure there are no fines unless he signs his tender. HE could wait until week 10, sign, and then show up without any fines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, but he looks different than last year. Don’t get me wrong, he’s an NFL talent without a doubt, but his stats aren’t eye popping. That's unfortunate. It would be really nice to have a dominant DL prospect available in the draft, but there doesn't seem to be a Chase Young/Joey Bosa type this year.

He isn’t just a strict off-ball LB. Guy was a DE and Penn St utilized multiple times as an edge guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizardHawk Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Payne is in Bruglar's top 12.... Quote 12. Kwity Paye, edge, Michigan (6-3, 271)Paye was my top-ranked senior prospect in August and that hasn’t changed (and I don’t expect it to before draft weekend). Equally effective versus the run and the pass, the senior launches out of his stance and creates movement with his energy and pop at contact. Paye is an innately motivated competitor who will start in the NFL for a long time. Payne has 4 TFL and 2 sacks thru 3 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paye isn’t nearly on Bosa’s or Young’s level. Not by a longshot, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against some very poor competition, and they still lost two of those games. The more important test will be how well he performs against Wisconsin and Ohio State. If he plays well against them, then my opinion my change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizardHawk Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) I'm curious to see how the opt-out effects the draft stock of all these opt out players. I could see a few consensus top 10 guys falling. Edited November 13, 2020 by WizardHawk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day, even if he's a good situational pass rusher, that's not a legitimate fix to the defensive line issues. And while I agree he is a stud LB prospect, the value just is not there. Sewell and Surtain would be easy picks for me over Parsons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Cowboy Fan Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 What’s everyone’s thoughts on the safety from USC? Think is name is Hufanga. Anytime I caught a USC game last year that kid was all over the place. Obviously not our 1st round pick, but when is he projected to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have simply been too many signals indicating otherwise. Not saying they shouldn’t be doing a lot of homework on TL and Fields, or that they shouldn’t be considered, I just don’t think they pull that trigger. If I had to bet a paycheck and they do manage to get #1 overall (or 2 or 3) I’d bet on them taking the king’s ransom and rebuilding the defense and OL. If they get the number one pick I would be shocked if they don’t draft Lawrence. If he’s as good as Elway as a prospect which most scouts say yes then you don’t pass that up.

I ignored it because I got your point and I also wanted to be nice to Jeff Heath. But... Jeff Heath is Alan Ball to me. I’d rather watch this team go 0-16 than to miss him. Jeff Heath another interception for the Raiders today.... Edited November 16, 2020 by DaBoys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also plays behind a highly talented safety which was selected with a premium pick... It's amazing what happens when you have a real GM and coaching staff who invests in the safety position.
