No I see the talent, just not the amount you do apparently. Allow me to explain.
Oh really? Good as in how? What has he ever done to be worthy of the title "good." He had one good season, REGULAR SEASON, last year earning the #1 seed and how did that end up? It ended up with his "top 10" o-line allowing the Giants d-line to assrape him without lube and him throwing a pick in the endzone. Good indeed.
Barber is good, yes I agree. But you can't assume that both Choice and Jones are "good" because Choice had a couple good games and Jones did almost nothing this season. Oh and did I mention they are both rookies? Yeah...
No, he isn't.
And where did you come up with this? Roy Williams is completely unproven just like the rest of the Cowboys. Anyone
can be something, but is he? No, no he isn't.
He's definitely top 3 for sure.
Top 10 in what exactly? And whenever you decide to come up with what they are top 10 in, proof?
The pro bowl title is completely irrelevant. Jay Cutler and Brett Favre made the pro bowl this year. However, I'm not going to claim Ratliff isn't good because I don't know much about him.
James and Ware yes, Ellis and Thomas are old and washed up.
Refer to above. Besides, these "pro bowl" players seemed to be MIA these last few weeks.
Time will tell.
Oh god.
1. You have said yourself that Romo is a good QB... I don't think anyone is debating this. He's not a great QB, yet, but there's no doubt he is a good QB.
2.Just going off their performance this year, Choice and Jones both performed at high levels. Mind you, Choice is the 3rd HB, so just being average would be success. Jones averaged 9.8 ypc before he was hurt. So I think we can say that they are good players, and that threesome (if they continue their previous production) is as good as any in the league, other than maybe New York's... and it's not far behind.
3. Owens' status is debatable, but imo he still has the ability to be a top player. Christ, just one year ago he was the best receiver not named Randy Moss. There are still the occasional times when he is dominant. Do you think, just maybe considering that 4 players have now criticized the scheme, that there WAS actually something wrong with it? Like how teams were able to shut Owens down because HE WAS PUT IN THE EXACT SAME POSITION ON EVERY PLAY? If Ray Lewis can call our plays out by what formation we're in, it probably isn't too hard to shut 1 player down in that scheme.
4. Williams has had a couple of really good statistical seasons. He needs a year of training camp to get in sync with the QB. I can understand your argument here, I just think he's going to be/is a very good and potentially great receiver.
5.The line is hindered in ways I can't describe by Cory Procter playing LG instead of Kosier, or even Holland. Before he was in there, the O-Line was great. I don't know what proof you want... there aren't too many O-Line stats. They're good when healthy, that's all I can say.
6. Watch a Cowboy game. Jay Ratliff is everywhere. And considering Cutler was all the Broncos had this year... and I mean ALL they had, he deserved to go. His team may suck, but they'd have about 5 wins less if it wasn't for Cutler's play. Brett Favre's invite was an absolute joke, though.
7. Ellis had 8 sacks in split time with Spencer, and Thomas recorded 166 tackles without playing on passing downs. They're still pretty good, despite not being what they once were.
8.Terrence Newman is a shut down corner on par with the top in the league. Besides, like I said earlier, the secondary played pretty well this year... and Hamlin was not only playing hurt all year, but let's not forget he has a shit ton of ground to cover because he's playing opposite of Keith Davis... and even worse, before that it was Roy Williams.
The Cowboys talent is not even a question in my mind.. now team chemistry and especially coaching are. Talent alone will win a game every now and then, but the team needs to be put in position to win. When the team looks completely unprepared and confused on half of the plays every game, your team is routinely out of sync with each other, you lead the league in penalties, and there is a constant stream of mental errors, whether your QB bails you out of them or not, you can't win games against any quality NFL team. And we all know...
YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!!
YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!!
Sorry, I have to get my fill just in case Herm's fired. His press conferences are must see TV. I almost wish the Cowboys would get him so I'd never miss one. And hell... he can't be worse than Wade.
Wait... Never mind... I forgot I was talking about Herm Edwards.
