It's really over there. I read it. And more than one idiotZoner suggested it too.

The cumulative IQ of the place seems to go down over there on a daily basis as the place becomes more cult like, probably due to the continued daily efforts to curtail negativity and discouraging free thought. BTW how come every time I look there are hundreds of people browsing this sight and like seven people who post here?

What happened to Midswat? Haven't seen him on these boards for some time now.

I kind of do. Not really excited about this season. The one good thing that it would reveal is that after 7 years of coaching, Garrett would still not have had consecutive winning seasons.

Wasn't it because Dooms pinned the Jaylon Smith thread? Dooms made a decision that was in the best interests of DCU and we're moving on.

He basically went nuts over the "Jerry Jones Deathwatch" thread being stuck to the top of the forum, and chose to express his anger by vandalizing the thread with 50 or so flood posts. When those were deleted he claimed "Nazi" and split. He is not banned or in any way restricted from returning.

Most of it isn't people, it's search engine bots. In the full version, viewed from a PC, it's detailed.

Unfortunately he would still be here in 2018. One of the beat writers said it would have to 3-5 win season for Garrett to get sacked because Jerry is comfortable with him. 3-5 win season would take a slew of injuries there by justifying his return in the circular reasoning of the FO. Apparently Jerry slept through the season where Cassel won 11 games in NE, you know where coaching actually has a stake in the outcome of games.

I don't even care. The board is open to the public.

I can't be bothered to read any tweets about who is 'killing it' in training camp or how so-and-so made a great play in practice. Sorry, I'm not eating the cheese. Last year I remember reading about how Deji Alotoye hadn't allowed a TD reception all camp. Then he got continually burned by Houston's 3rd string receivers in the last preseason game and he was gone.

Thank you. I learned years ago that camp reports are about 95% bunk.

If everyone raves about a player the entire few weeks, then yes, he probably has something. But learning anything off a couple of tweeted videos of single plays? Proclamations off what sportswriters see when they barely know what they're looking at? Naw.

And I have to add, the reports if anything seem to have gotten more homeristic the last few years. The DMN is barely distinguishable from DC.com anymore.

As I've said the Boys will win enough games to make the playoffs. Anything more than that I'm happy with.

We had a 4-12 season neither he nor Linehan was canned. I feel like if Garrett is canned, it will be random and none of us will expect it.

Hopefully it's a totally unfounded worry and Dak's native respect for the ball permeates everything he does and cannot be coached out of him. Despite the best efforts of the Red Scare.

That appears to be the case

When he needs to get the ball to a defensive player he refuses to throw it to them. He considers that an INT. He will roll the ball on the ground to anyone not on his offense. Including the defensive coaches. Ball security is bred deep into him

Sooooo.....
