That's tantamount to an admission of defeat. It's like saying to the fans, "You know what? We don't have the competence or know-how to unearth quality replacements in the draft, so we have no choice but to overpay Carr, overpay Spencer for one year, and throw away a second rounder for...

I was referring to Tony's groupies, who think he's merely a victim of his surroundings.

It was news to me. The second we drafted Claiborne, I said to myself "Where is he gonna play?" We all knew Newman was on the way out; not so Jenkins. The notion that he would be prohibitively expensive to keep never crossed my mind. What year are you referring to? We weren't facing a big hole...

Well I for one would like to thank Sheik's mother for treating me with tenderness and respect.

If Broaddus said the same thing, people would be screaming that he's a failed scout. Well, Lombardi is an ex-NFL guy too.

For some fans, you can never love Tony enough, but God help you if you love him too little.

A little birdy told me he loves our 3rd round pick too (TBD).

Newman, Scandrick and our atrocious safeties cost us games in 2011, not Jenkins, who had a fine bounceback year. Right area of concern; wrong target.

Get back to me in five years.

Richardson no doubt had a higher grade than Murray or Felix. What the hell, let's draft him too. We can throw 8.8 million at Spencer but not find a creative way to keep Jenkins? Nor is it a fait accompli that he'd be paid more than Carr. And Jenkins was a cheap alternative compared to...

Fine. Claiborne's a Cowboy now and I hope he does well. If not, I won't come back here screaming "I told you so!" Well, maybe just a little. I just think our resources could have been better allocated.

Ten bucks says he pushed instead of pulled that door handle.

I'd have to see how he performs this year, but the Cowboys seem to have already have made up their minds. Paying two corners top $ isn't any more insane than paying two o-linemen handsomely. You think LT was the only Giants linebacker making good money in their heyday?

But he doesn't have to be "gone." By trading him or letting him go after 2012, they create an unnecessary need. We had bigger fish to fry than cornerback. So now we have the same old safeties, an erratic slot defender like Scandrick, and a draft pick who may or may not be better than Jenkins.

Starters Webster and Thomas were second rounders. Prince and Phillips were first rounders. If they sacrificed a second round pick for any of these guys, that's news to me.

Then find a Corey Webster type that won't cost you an arm and a leg and instead address bigger needs.

Forget the squandered second rounder. It wouldn't have made sense even if we had the sixth pick all along. The G-men didn't need a "lockdown" corner to win another SB and neither do we. There were higher priorities.

Nor sure how much of that was on Jenkins' tab. In terms of culprits, he'd be last on the list. Newman Scandrick Elam Sensabaugh Jenkins

I don't see it. He's a prospect, not a proven commodity. For most teams with their act together, Carr + Jenkins would be more than sufficient to win a title. Now we have Carr + Claiborne but the same old problems in other areas of the team. In that sense, drafting Claiborne is like putting brand...

Close. We lost a high pick and possibly Jenkins to boot, so unless Claiborne is twice the player Jenkins is (doubtful), you're merely running in quicksand.
