    How I Became a Fan

    Yeah, his family's original name before they decided to change it was McGeestein. Don't you ever read Wikipedia?

    How I Became a Fan

    Apparently yours did. Your opinion means nothing because you don't qualify it with any information, facts, data, etc. But then , any post beyond a few poorly constructed phrases would be way too ambitious. What is it that you actually think you contribute here? Why should anyone care what you...

    How I Became a Fan

    Between Aikman and Romo....please! Consider the GM and the Coach at the time. Jerry Jones and Dave Campo couldn't evaluate a popcorn vendor. Apparently, you can trash the Head Coach, question the productivity of the leading RB last season, and every single other quarterback not named Tony...

    How I Became a Fan

    LOL, what a joke! And you guys think I'm a troll? You guys act like Tony Romo is the second coming of Joe Montana. The guy was cultivated for three years. he was coddled, protected, and bottle fed by Bill Parcells. He's a smart, hard working innovative guy but he is not, nor has he ever been...

    How I Became a Fan

    Because I think the Cowboys have a good coach, possibly a great one, you don't want to share my optimism as a fellow Cowboy fan? You don't even want to wish it were true but let me down gently? Because I like my Dallas Cowboys Head Coach to the point where I think he might be great, I'm like...

    How I Became a Fan

    By the way, how in the hell did this thread go from how I became a fan into a love/hate Jason trash McGee thread? I think there are plenty of topics out there where you can condemn my opinions and views, I'm trying to bare my soul here and you ravenous wolves just can't wait to attack.....if I...

    How I Became a Fan

    Longhorn fans......geez, did he really traumatize you so much that you can't bare to give him some credit? He won his first start! That's what quarterbacks are supposed to do, help their team win! He was supposed to be a project but there he was, playing in his 2nd year. Tony Romo sat the...

    How I Became a Fan

    I get that McGee wasnt good enough to make it in the NFL but, as a project, he was far from a bum. In 2010 Kitna goes down late in game #15. The Cowboys are losing. McGee comes in for the first time and throws a come from behind TD with less than two minutes left in the game but Beuhler misses...

    How I Became a Fan

    I absolutely agree that Jason's greatest flaw was a failure to properly develop a running attack and balance throughout the game while he was a coordinator. However, you must have noticed that as an interim Head Coach, the Cowboys were completely balanced, 250 pass attempts, 259 runs. In fact...

    How I Became a Fan

    Not necessary to apologize, just guys talking football.... Here is a stat.....41-31....a winning percentage of 56.9%.....same as Bill Parcells....better then Chuck Knoll, Jimmy Johnson, Marv Levy, Jon Gruden, Dan Reeves, Dick Vermiel, to name a few. I realize I'm going against some of the more...

    Shut up and win

    Jimmy Johnson was preaching a positive attitude in exactly the same way that Jason does, back in 1989 when they went 1-15. He wasn't pissed or threatening or worried about the team's direction, he was trying to incorporate the attitude that no matter the score, won loss record, or division...

    How I Became a Fan

    I can understand the younger fans acting like they don't care about Cowboy history. If you weren't a fan before 1996 then what you've witnessed so far adds very little to their great history. However, when the Cowboys get to another Super Bowl soon young fans won't hesitate to declare Romo...

    How I Became a Fan

    My real point is that the Cowboys are like an old friend to me, always will be. They were always there no matter what my present circumstances were. Funny thing, they always seemed to be up when I was down. The early 90's were tough years for me. This is a true story. It was over 40 years...

    How I Became a Fan

    I came to America when I was 13 years old. A hospital in San Antonio was considered the best when it came to treating the type of cancer my mother had. I was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. We didn't play football (American style), basketball or baseball. Needless to say, I had trouble fitting in...

    *** 2015 Cowboys Training Camp Thread ***

    Remember my prediction..........a month ago I said this team's starter at RB is not yet on the team. McFadden is just being McFadden. What did you expect?

    What IS that something?

    Okay, I know how that game is played. I name highly regarded HC's that flopped in their rookie head coaching years even though they had Pro Bowl franchise QB's......and then you attach the disclaimer that, " They weren't as exalted as the great Tony Romo, so they don't count!" What the...

    What IS that something?

    I'm sensing some disagreement. What l'm saying seems off the all to you guys. What seems off the wall to me is the premise that Jerry Jones suddenly got it right when it came to player acquisition. He woke up after the day he fired Wade Philips and suddenly became a personnel guru. Yes, the...

    Anyone else see a possible 2-3 or even a 1-4 start to the 2015 season?

    I agree. Let's remember that Murray also had 57 receptions for over 400 yards, his total yards from scrimmage was 2261 yards on 449 touches. I don't care how great your line is, an average back can't do that. Murray was special, at least on this team.

    What IS that something?

    Granted, my opinion requires an explanation. Jason Garrett told us exactly how he intended to restore the Cowboys back to their winning ways. He laid it all out for everyone to see. This included practices, personnel attributes, and attitude. It included a philosophy of acquiring talent that...

    Anyone else see a possible 2-3 or even a 1-4 start to the 2015 season?

    As you pointed out, it Murray and Emmitt had about the same average yards per carry in their big seasons, Murray just a tad higher. Therefore it did not take more than the same number if carries for Murray to reach him and technically pass him. I know Emmitt is not discussing the offensive...
