    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    He was only a rookie with Dez, and he was fine on those throws with Gallup. Like most things I think it's a combination of Dak being fine, but not great, and that he needs a WR counterpart who is at least good or better at that particular aspect to be able to make it work. For whatever reason...

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    Dak has thrown a bunch of INT's the last two years trying to throw jump balls to Lamb (Steelers game in particular), and for whatever reason their timing on that was usually off. That's actually one of the biggest areas I think Pickens will help in.

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    He's right from the viewpoint that many of these "advanced metrics" that are thrown out to measure players are very misleading, and often times are used by casual fans to draw incorrect conclusions. They'll just throw out numbers as if this is baseball where every little thing can be tracked and...

    2025 NFL Draft - 3rd Round Pick - Shavon Revel Jr, CB, East Carolina

    Outside of Daniels the Skins have little to no top tier young talent. They got ridiculously lucky last year, and maybe Daniels turns into the type of QB who can consistently elevate average talent, but I wouldn't be betting on that.

    Derek Carr retires

    Maybe but they just drafted a guy in the 2nd they supposedly love.

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    Deuce was always just a lottery ticket on a guy who dominated in college, but that 4.56 number was a red flag given his size. Riley being on the staff probably gives him a chance but we're 2+ years in now and the lottery ticket probably isn't going to cash, no harm in just moving on, that's how...

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    Yea Blue would've been a 3/4 in an average draft.

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    For sure, although I'd argue that we're a good 1T away from being a top tier defense. Should we have taken Harmon or Grant in that case and rolled the dice on Bass/Hoffman/Jones at RG? Maybe, they chose to gamble on Mazi and now Toia at 1T instead, so we'll see. But either way I think our pass...

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    They played well against some of the better offenses in the league in the Bengals and even the Eagles in the first game, not to mention the Skins, although I don't truly believe they were an elite offense. But no defense is going to hold on when you have a completely incompetent offense (first...

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    Given his history if he's healthy the 2023 version is definitely closer to what he really is. Maybe he's physically declined irreversibly since then, but if not it's pretty clear that last year was just a dysfunctional mess all the way around from the weird McCarthy shit, no attempts to improve...

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    Yea but that Eagles situation kind of makes the point I was trying to make. They made the SB, then took a pretty sizable step back in 2023, retooled a bit going into 2024 and obviously made a huge jump. I think Fangio was a massive part of that, plus Barkley having what will be the best season...

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    A lot of us speculated that they were consciously taking a step back to reset things a bit, which is still insane, but at least they're back to trying to win in their own weird way.

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    Yea I mean we were the 2 seed just two seasons ago, it's hard to remember because of how it ended but the way people talk about this team you'd think they were barely better than the Giants. They literally didn't even try last offseason, so the way last year went was no surprise given the...

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    If he goes off I think there's a decent chance they resign him, especially if Steele is shitty again and they feel like they can move off that big deal.

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    I'm going with cautious optimism, on paper we could be one of the most explosive offenses in the league if Blue can hold onto the ball. Of course it could also blow up if Pickens loses his shit and X-factors like Blue don't do shit, but I'm definitely intrigued to see how it works out.

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    He was well worth it in 2023 then got hurt last year, while looking like he's lost a step. He's not "old" necessarily but all guys age differently and he obviously has declined a bit physically. I wouldn't call him a disappointment though, he was traded to be a bandaid vet who could be a...

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    We had Keyshawn for a year or two also, not in 2003 but I want to say maybe 2004-05.

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    This is all true although Pittsburgh managed to sneak into the playoffs the last two years with a horrific offense overall, so I think we've already seen the worst he can act.

    Cowboys Trade For George Pickens

    I was looking at the other rosters in the division to kind of compare where we stand after the trade and what really struck me, that I didn't fully realize before, is that the Skins are fucking old and don't have much top tier young talent. I don't think many people realize it because Daniels...
