Kirby Jackson

Top 10 scoring twice We certainly regressed last year but not to the point that a reasonable person could have thought Nathan Peterman was a viable option.

That’s all fine and good if he didn’t lead back-to-back top 10 scoring and DVOA offenses. Points matter, not passing yards

It has nothing to do with race. It has to do with a long shot scrub replacing a functioning QB in the midst of a playoff chase. Peterman was terrible and continued to get opportunities that other long shots (regardless of race) didn’t get. Levi Brown and Jeff Tuel were also scrubs that washed out. Tuel was WAY better than NP in his 1 opportunity. Peterman had a job that he didn’t deserve and was paid a lot of money to do that job. No one owes him anything. He sucked and is now out of the NFL (where he belongs).

I so desperately wanted Ric Flair to appear. She counts too

Lindsey showed this to me today and I was dying!! I loved when they went shopping.

He just ran by!!

Still no mouse for me but the traps haven’t moved. I’m thinking that he may have taken the poison.

My dog is one of my 8.

I almost had 9 but one moved away. I was trying hard for double digits but I couldn’t quite push it past 8. My new year’s resolution is to add 2 friends without subtracting 1.

Damn! I have kind of been hoping for him all season. He could have completed that defense.

I actually have 8 friends Aug!! ?

In all seriousness David Amerson would be my first target. He has a CHANCE to be the CB opposite Tre. That would be a great addition at this point. I’d add Tanner Gentry as well. You did well with the first 2 young receivers last week. Give Allen a comfortable target that may help him develop.

I have 3 pretty close friends that have combined for a dozen or so releases from NFL teams. Often times the writing is on the wall. They know where they stand on the depth chart. It gets tougher too as they gain a little seniority. Do you want to pay a 6th year backup LB $1.1M or a rookie 5th rounder league minimum? The middle class in the league has sort of disappeared. The most difficult part for them is knowing when enough is enough. When do you walk away all together? I would say that 2 of them (and maybe all 3) should have gotten the message a year or 2 earlier.

Derek Carr is the same way. He’s in that tier IMO. He isn’t some franchise savior. He’s an acceptable QB.

Peterman (twice)

Apparently he would. It doesn’t really make much sense to me but apparently it’s an option.

He thinks that Eli will be released.

My guess is that they wouldn’t extend Dak and would try to use Eli for a couple of years while finding “a franchise QB.” It doesn’t make a ton of sense to me but apparently that’s the case.

A guy that I work with is exetremely close to the Manning Family (Cooper is his godfather). He was telling me today that the Cowboys have been having casual conversations with Eli’s management if he becomes available. I’m fairly certain that’s tampering but these types of conversations must be pretty common. They think, with that OL, he would have a couple of years left. This is also interesting as to where they must stand regarding Dak.

My issue was the amount of opportunities that he got. Guys with his pedigree (and performance) don’t get the chances that he got. I don’t hate the guy but I hate the player. There are literally hundreds of QBs like him that get one chance (or none) and wash out. This guy just kept getting chances and kept failing. It wasn’t good for him or for us. This move is in everyone’s best interest.

They could have given up on him after a half and would have been right.

?

That’s what my buddy Tim suggested. He was like “let’s see if that game works.”

Honestly, this was my preference. Update: He escaped the glue trap overnight. He must have ended on the plastic outside and flipped it (thanks Tomcat). I know where he is though so traps are set everywhere. It looks like “Home Alone” in here .
