How much time do you think drafting Wentz

[McCarthy12]

And money! Gotta be able to pay them once they are legit. Definitely a ways away, but heading in the right direction, IMO.

I was thinking about this this morning. The only guy who can take the personnel job from Howie is FF when he decides to stop coaching. And the. Howie will still be the money guy.

Dallas had Wentz as the 7th best player

Most reports say that Wentz would have been there even if they hadn't traded up. The Dallas bored had CW listed as the 10th player on their draft list.

Wentz wasn't going to be there at number 8.

Teflon Howie

I remember we used to think the same thing about #ratface (@joebanner13).

To think that anyone working for Jeff Lurie is teflon is to ignore the last five years. Stability hasn't exactly been a hallmark of the post-Christina/mid-life crisis era.

Howie has two years. Less if he displays insufficient emotional intelligence at any given time.

Who the fuck is we? Ignoring what? The fact that Howie is more responsible for the cluster fuck this organization is in right now than any single person still there? You can't get any more teflon. The fucking owner wouldn't even admit that Howie got his power back to the public.

I read where they had him at 10

Even still, they still had the guy they took as the number one overall so they likely still would have taken him where they did.


Also note that the article mentions that they're not even sure that was the final Cowboy board as it was hand written.

We is the entire board, going back it its inception. Banner was the owner's untouchable boyhood friend. Until he wasn't anymore.

Same goes for Roseman. Don't think Lurie isn't noticing the dwindling crab fry sales at TC this year.

I don't see it as the Jones family schooling Howie

I believe the Cowboys were giving Wentz serious consideration and certainly SF (drafting at 6 or 7) had their sights on a QB. I wanted Wentz foremost even before the Eagles trade with Miami and so I applaud Howie's effort to get him. I believe the Bradford / Wentz situation was fluid from the start. Bradford without Wentz was a real possibility. If you have Wentz, then trading Bradford was a possibility... And if the value wasn't there in a trade, then keep both.

For a decade Lurie knew that no matter how the season ended in inevitable disappointment the fans were crazy for the team. Business was good. I think last season and into this season there are the first signs of "meh" out there (as some on here have pointed out). That makes Lurie more nervous than anything on the field. But I also think he is legit pissed that he doesn't have a Lombadi. It makes him look like a second class member of the owners club.

[Maniac]

I think he gets at least a game.

Ben Simmons!!

[McCarthy12]

You see the story about Simmons buying a kid a pair of shoes at the mall? My wife saw me scrolling through pictures of Simmons to put up this avatar and now derides me with a "what are you doing, looking at more pictures of dude basketball players?" every time I'm on my tablet. THAT'S RIGHT, I AM. BECAUSE HE'S F*CKING AWESOME.

And Joel's new video on twitter of him working out. Talk about a god damn stud. Thats a player who will take advantage of his skill when its needed. Take advantage of his size when its needed. Then take advantage of his quickness when its needed. He has it ALL. Pray he stays healthy
