This aged well...quite well. Nice call

Sammy Watkins might the greatest waste of talent I have seen over the last decade. He had all the talent and tools to be elite but lacks the heart and mental toughness to do so. I used to defend this guy, but his lack of production on elite offenses is just mind blowing. He seems like a guy who lost his passion and drive to be great once he got paid.

Well when you fill Neanderthals up with liquor and fried mayonnaise balls it’s inevitable

Well that I agree with

I just did a bunch of trade downs and got a ton of draft picks next year and some needs still lol, if it were only that easy

Yes, during a rebuild. We aren't rebuilding anymore, we are making a SUPER BOWL push. How is this complicated, I really don't understand how you don't see the difference.

Out of necessity. All of those were in early years of a rebuild, not the heart of a Super Bowl run in the playoffs against a tough opponent. Bass is only exception, and again, out of necessity as he beat out a veteran and been excellent this year. And a rookie kicker is far different than a rookie at any other position.

Wow, never thought I would see a thread like this. Just a very weird hot take, even for TSW. Roberts is a two time pro bowler for us, one of our best, if not best ST player o this roster. And he’s gonna sit for McKenzie? Whose been dinged up already because he had one kick return in the game his career against a Dolphin team had given up? Like others said...don’t count it or hold your breath on this one.

I know those things, that’s why I said there would be some I could see him interested in, however in each of those teams he’s not currently the leading candidate linked to those teams. So my point was that unless he gets one of those, I think he passes on taking an undesirable one and come back one more year with Josh. So you basically just agreed with me Again, I said there are some I can see him being interested in. But several of these openings have been disasters already for young coaches with poorly run organizations and a long way from turning around. My point is the bond between him and Josh is so strong that I think it will need to be a job he covets and believes in the ownership and front office potential as opposed to take just any HC job offered.

Yet ALL other Giants RBs averaged at least 1.1 yards MORE per carry who had same or more carries than him.

Well every other RB in NY was substantially more effective than Freeman was this year. By a yard or more per carry on same amount of carries or more.

I voted none for one main reason. I don’t think there are many jobs he would want to take over staying with the Bills and Josh another year, and in those specific places I think he would have interest, the talk is other options are the front runners. Just my 2 cents that I don’t think he will just take any job offered to him. I think he is so close to Josh and this team that it would need to be a job he covets. And I have a hard time looking at many of the openings as coveted landing spots.

New flash unexplosive 75 year old Alfred Morris was better on that same Giants team than Freeman...as was EVERY RB on the Giants this year. Freeman YPC over 6 games: 3.2 YPC Gallman: 4.6 Morris: 4.3 Lewis: 4.0 Freeman only RB with at least 20 carries to average under 4 yards per carry for the same Giants team, and he barely averaged over 3 YPC. So yet another terrible take here in this thread.

Yup, still a decent signing given he’s a veteran for the PS in the event there is any injuries. But he wasn’t signed to play this week and likely won’t play without more injuries any time this post season. End of the day, this is most likely Devin’s run game now, he will get the lion share of the snaps at RB and be featured and someone like Yeldon and Taiwan Jones will come in on some 3rd downs or to spell him. People forget they still love Devin who is now by far the best RB we have available. It’s possible they activate Williams too, but with Taiwan almost certainly active for ST reasons, I doubt they activate both Yeldon and Williams for this game.

Why are you ignoring his most recent body of work this year where he wasn’t any good and got hurt yet again?

This is not a good take. One, that SB was a while ago and before a slew of injuries derailed Freeman’s production during the 2018 season. Second, bring him up to speed? Come on, this isn’t Madden. You don’t create chemistry, conditioning, snd playbook understanding by plugging and playing a guy the week he gets here. We run one of the most complicated offenses in the entire NFL and we are a passing team. A RB not up to speed can be a big liability on both pass protecting and in the run game. Nor sure why some people don’t understand the importance of this stuff. Not to mention, Freeman is a shell of his former self and was clearly shot while playing this year before again going on IR. Now he’s been active for a while and not going to be even in game shape. Mind blowing people want to have this guy play against the Ravens this week. Especially since Yeldon has been useful in limited appearances, especially as a receiving outlet.

Why would you put Freeman ahead of Yeldon? He doesn’t know the offense, and we run one of the most complicated, if not the most complicated, offensive system in the NFL. He also averaged 3.2 YPC this year in 5 games and coming off long inactivity on IR due to his injury. I mean, I just don’t get how people always want to plug and play people likes it’s Madden while ignoring things like chemistry, conditioning, and understanding the playbook. Yeldon is who it’s most likely going to be. Williams has a shot, but ONLY if they feel strongly about his ability to pass protect. We are a passing team, not a chance they are going to activate a RB who is a liability on pass pro. And I’m not sure they really know given he spent the season on the PS. They would really have to at least believe he can handle it.

Start? Why would either start over Devin?

Dalton isnt the future or the alternative, never was and wasn't the point. He is just a backup or potential bridge QB to someone they could draft first round this year and there are some intriguing guys that should be there at 10, or even maybe move up if there is one they covet. I would have less issue with paying Dak if not for the bad contracts elsewhere on the team. If they pay Dak, they need to find a way to shed Cooper and Zeke IMO. They have talent behind them at a fraction of the cost. If not, they will be a perennial 6 to 8 win team IMO for a while. I just wont pay a guy top 3 money who isnt good enough to mask the deficiencies of the team and win in the worst division in football. I think its pretty obvious Rodgers, Brees, Mahomes, Brady, Watson, Allen, etc would run away with that division with that roster last 2 years. Dak has a losing record which doesn't make me confident in making him the 2nd highest paid player in NFL history.

Again Gunner, I am not saying he is better than Dak and NEVER said that. In the thread his comment referenced I said many times Dak is clearly better than Dalton, no one would dispute that. What he brought up that I did say is that I had a hard time committing that much money to Dak as the highest paid player not named Mahomes based on the teams struggles and that I didn't think the teams record would be drastically different as some suggested with Dalton over Dak. Case in point: Dak 1-3 and should have been 0-4 if not for the epic collapse only the Falcons can manage deciding to not even fall on an onside kick. 4-4 with Dalton. Is Dak better right now as individual direct comparison, of course. But individuals DONT win games, teams do. And the thread was about what would be better for Cowboys in terms of paying Dak or going another direction. Dak just doesn't get it done when it matters too often, hence my reluctance to pay him what he wants. It was never Dalton is better individual player, it was about whether or not Cowboys should cave and make Dak the second highest player behind Mahomes or roll with Dalton and look to draft a QB of the future instead of being saddled with that monster contract. End of the day, if you are going to pay a QB Elite cap killing money, they better be good enough to carry your team to wins because moving forward, you have to hit often on your draft picks to afford to put a quality roster around said QB and its not as easy to build a winning team with the cap restrictions. This fact is magnified by the large contracts they paid to an over rated WR and also the jumbo contract to a RB. And the only data we have to show this, shows I was correct in saying this given Dalton had a better record in starting and finishing games than did Dak with the same team. Does NOT make him better than Dak as an individual player, but it sure as hell makes it come into question if they should hand out a 3rd cap killing contract on this offense with all the issues it has on the rest of the roster.

Yeah loved this too. Every QB has dropped INT opportunities, including guys like Mahomes and Rodgers. Allen sees his critics harp on it like it doesn’t happen to all QBs regularly. The sack fumble was the fault of the OL, but Josh made it worse by not wanting to give up on the play. And to Josh’s credit, we have seen him way more often do that and make an incredible play, hence why Josh has that mentality. But Josh needs to learn that there are situations in a game where the risk is to great and it’s ok to just take the sack. And he said so himself, so I am not worried. Also, I think Josh felt he had to make this win happen too the way Colts were moving the ball on us in a close game. Just gotta learn he can’t always do it all.

Never said they were. He said Cowboys couldn’t win games with Dalton in that other thread. Yet they did, and at a better rate than with Dak with the same roster. And my original point in that thread he was trying to bring up was when I said I don’t think the Cowboys record is that much different with Dalton. Turns out it was actually quite a bit better with Dalton

2020 Cowboys Record in games they started and finished: With Dak Prescott 1-3 With Andy Dalton 4-4 So there’s that too sport 😎

Hmmmmm... Defense this year without Milano: Hot Garbage. Defense this year with Milano: Much improved. Seems like another classic TSW really bad hot take.
