I just wrote something similar in another thread, but here goes: The scary truth could be that Jerry truly believed Manziel was a Staubach-caliber Hall of Fame QB. Manziel did have an outstanding college career. Both he and Staubach won the Heisman, both were elusive, both improvised, both...

If you believe you have a chance to draft the next Roger Staubach, you draft him no matter what. There is a decent chance that's what Jerry thought of Manziel. It is frightening to think that the GM of the Dallas Cowboys could be that wrong, but ....

In the absence of an Aikman-like, Luck-like QB prospect, it really could be that the Cowboys "mind trust" isn't willing to spend an early 1st round pick on a QB. I used to believe that Jerry routinely used pre-draft smokescreens to disguise his true intentions. In the past several years...

During his conversation with Jerry, Gill was distracted by all of the strippers. Who can blame him?

Although there are lots of great reasons to target Elliott (3 down back, playmaker, etc.), I don't have to have Elliott. However I do think the Cowboys owe it to themselves to draft a top RB. With the OL that the Cowboys already have assembled, a top RB should be a no-brainer: A top RB...

What you are describing is a perfect scenario. Unfortunately, sometimes perfect scenarios don't emerge. Sometimes teams aren't interested in trading the pick that you wish to obtain. You say that: "The good teams figure out how to get Elliott at pick 9 or 14 and get something for moving...

What I'm writing here isn't directed at anyone in particular ... but at this time of year, a rigid preoccupation with "value at pick" often emerges. And it gets on my nerves. The other day I was listening to some sport media types discussing the Cowboys #4 pick, and one of them actually said...

The Eagles' desperation is what happens when you get caught without a real franchise QB. Given Romo's age and tenuous health, of course the Cowboys should pick a QB in the first round if the Cowboys believe that the available QB has a realistic chance of developing into a franchise QB.

What Trump should have said about the KKK this weekend.

Pass on Murray, but replace him with a high quality, younger, cheaper alternative. Oh, I just had a brilliant idea -- the Cowboys could draft a suitable replacement. Someone should mention this idea to Stephen.

Sturm writes: Lazy writing. If Sturm doesn't know what he's writing about, why doesn't he call a specialist and ask a few questions about 1) the healing of collarbones and 2) the Mumford procedure?

Garrett's press interactions at the combine are frustrating to watch. Very dull. Reading between the lines, I also thought Garrett responses suggested that he isn't interested in re-signing Hardy. As a fan, it sucks that Garrett isn't any better with the press. I miss the Parcells days.

After investing so heavily in the OL, it'd be foolish not to get a very talented RB to leverage the initial investment. It doesn't have to be the top RB in the draft (although that'd be pretty great) and it doesn't have to be with the 4th pick in the draft, but getting a top RB should be a...

I'd rather have Elliott than a CB or any DE who is in this draft. Elliott would have a major impact and he's basically idiot proof ... it'd be difficult for even the Cowboys coaches to screw him up. And he'd be fun as hell to watch. But yeah, if there is a QB available who has a solid chance...

I'd guess the front office will sign a marginal free agent DE (or two) prior to the draft. That way the front office won't feel like it must draft a DE early in the draft. ... that's the way this front office usually tries to operate. Fill needs with marginal replacements and then roll the...

Yeah, but that was after he took it.

Claiborne may believe that he was the first overall pick in the 2012 draft, but actually he was the 6th player taken. Math is hard ....

Ware missed 5 games due to injury this past year alone. If Ware were open to signing an incentive laden, performance based contract, I guess I could see signing him. At this stage, though, it isn't smart to count on Ware being physically able to contribute consistently. The Cowboys need...

Gotta wonder how many of those free agents will end up signing with their current teams again.

As I think more about it, I think you are correct that it'll help Trump - during most Republican primaries. Part of Trump's appeal seems to be that fed-up/pissed off, irreverent, anti-establishment stance he's taking. The Pope certainly represents one of the most traditional of authority...
