I just can't seem to rip the Cowboys these days when we are 4-9 and staring 4-12 right in the face. It just serves no point. I respect how they have built their team. Despite the bad game Sun. night they have done a real nice job building a team of very good young players. Many of them were drafted. That is what pisses me off most. That Dallas drafted good young players and we get over priced, over paid free agents. |

What part of T-O, Sherry Glenn, and Deadslow sound like good young drafted players to you? Okay, so they drafted Julius Jones. Fine, we drafted Ladell Betts, and guess what, they're having nearly statistically identical years despite Ladell having 7 fewer starts. Oh, and Ladell's averaging half a yard more per carry. Next. Oh right, Jason Witten. Good call. 600 yards and a TD this year. If only we had a guy who could do that!! Chris Cooley only has 528 yards on the season. Oh wait, but 5 TD's. Next. Romo? Fine, sure, but if Bledsoe hadn't been so awful he would never have seen the light of day, and realistically we have no idea whether he's going to be decent or suck. Started off hot, sucks lately. *Shrug*. By the way, Tony Romo's passer rating in December: 58.4. Jason Campbell's passer rating in December: 54.6. We've got more drafted young talent (Dock, Jansen, and Samuels) on the O-Line than they do (Gurode and Flozell Adams were both drafted, but Adams is like 140 years old), and assuming some of our recent projects like McIntosh and Golston step up and start next year, we could have 5 drafted Redskins on the starting D (Marshall, Golston, McIntosh, Taylor, and Rogers). The Cowboys have 6 (Davis, Williams, James, Ware, Spears, and Canty) So, yeah. We really suck at drafting and the Cowboys are awesome. |

Yeah, I did forget Newman, fair enough. However, I do think you're mischaracterizing the situation simply because we're having an abnormally bad defensive year. Considering our defense was ranked 9th last season and we actually drafted young guys in addition to signing guys who should have been impact players now, there's no precedent that we were just going to suck this season. If you want to say that recently, Dallas has gotten better value out of their draft picks than we have, fine. But it's pretty lame to suggest that they are the model of youth and building through the draft, and we're the opposite. That's just not true. Man, what a difference a year makes. People are drinking the Kool-Aid one year and trying to sue people for making them drink it the next. |

Re: How bout them Cowboys!!!
Let me add one more thing, you'll probably do a 360 on your logic once the Skins start to win again. The draft and how we built this team has had little to do with the devastating injuries (e.g. Portis, Springs earlier in the season, Prioleau), tough schedule (Colts after they had a bye week, Eagles after they had a bye, for example), and the new offensive system that will take probably take at least a season in a half to get used to. I'm actually seeing some positive things with this team now, and I think what is being built now will benefit us greatly next season. I can tell you some really good players we've built through the draft, let's see, Chris Samuels, Chris Cooley, Jon Jansen, and Derrick Dockery do those names ring a bell to you.

Re: How bout them Cowboys!!!
No hard feeling SkinsFan 69, just having a little back and forth with you is all. I'm sure you bleed the burgandy and gold just as much as I do. Next season will look back on this one and laugh. Mark my words on that. What makes sports so fun is that you can argue over something that has nothing to do with everyday life, sports is just such a great escape. Now I have to get back to business. Everyone have a good night!!
