I just looked out of curiosity… and yes, Jerry jones attorney and also a Texas state senator of 30+ years. A recent lengthy extension to move the trial outside the legislative session of January through June.

doesnt he have Jerry jones attorney or some such? Its been so long that im getting blurry on details

I’ll say as a public statement 18 months out, that actually gives me a bit of pause on whether it’ll be ready.

yea- he wasn’t locked on revis island but to say he made revis look like trash is definitely mythology surpassing reality

meh- I’ve gone back and forth and sometimes your best shot doesn’t come on 4th down so you have to take the coin flip for a 30 yard gain on second down if the opportunity arises because you are unlikely to get a better chunk play later and winning one coin flip is easier than winning 3 coin flips. there were plenty of days I hated in the moment but ultimately like more than seeing a 7 play turnover on downs or failed Hail Mary I think a good example of defining terms being important. below average starter and below average nfl player at his position are very different I think universally the board would call him a below average starter (ie around 20th) not below average on a roster (say 40th)

honestly I would be curious if the numbers support my theory that he was fitz tragic because he could play within his limitations most of the day to keep it close but didn’t have the arm talent when it was crunch time and everyone was giving 110% and you couldn’t live for another down because you are down 5 with 38 seconds left…. Seemed he was smart enough to know he had to throw it still and see what happened at that point. Even if his arm made it less likely to connect than Josh - still better than running out of bounds short of the sticks,

it’s ultimately a case of “this guy has flags for being self centered and clueless” this isn’t proof he will fail but it’s surely another data point in the wrong column if you are invested in his success. to do it twice this month is likewise a data point in the does not learn from mistakes column

Call me crazy but I still think that Coleman was drafted to let Shakir walk and now our pass catching resource allocations are all kinds of messed up with a million slot guys, the leagues richest backup tight end and prayers Elijah Moore can get behind a corner occasionally if you gave beane truth serum I think the hope was Keon, Samuel and a higher end WR addition - see something like Devante, DK but Keon hasn’t shown to be a real starter, and Samuel struggled and now that high end salary has to split between Palmer and Shakir to fill multiple roles.

seems like an odd range of picks/years without context

ironically, I think you have it backwards. Coleman is younger but has a more measurable physical ceiling which is going to make what we need from him very hard to accomplish. Dalton on the other hand is at a position that often takes longer to master AND for which he has high end physical traits. it’s going to be tough to push chips in on either til we see it but dalton seems incredibly more likely to become that guy

the bengals would have it on billboards and be on every news outlet around if he was refusing to sign the “stock contract” we don’t know the exact verbiage but it’s clearly materially different

meh. Both are frustrating. I’m not loving a debate between whether it was better to watch Phillip Rivers or Donovan Mcnabb? Just spitballing two good QBs without rings from 20 years ago I think I’d be ok tanking a few seasons in exchange for an appearance. 12-5 and Super Bowl run followed by 5-12 or two 11-6 seasons losing in the divisional? I think probably give me the first

Something 5 figures? Like low/mid 5? More than a modest used car but less than 50 for sure

I think the nfl would be hard pressed to cost him millions under the reasoning “must have been illegal if he doesn’t want to talk to reporters about it” even if we all have the very reasonable assumption of what it is

and by aggravation he may mean participating fully in camp
