Timestamped by you and Clay.Name the second round picks under Parcells that turned out so well?

I love Parcells but everyone misses on draft picks. The only reliable way to be better then everyone else is to have more picks.Timestamped by you and Clay.
We have drafted as well or better than Parcells over the last 3 years and everyone forgets he was saved by the Jets when he wanted to draft that DT.I love Parcells but everyone misses on draft picks. The only reliable way to be better then everyone else is to have more picks.
And yet he was still vastly superior to the current braintrust. Both front office and coaching.Parcells struck out on every 2nd rounder he picked and he went for injured guys as well like that OT out of USC.
And let's not even go into how he reached in the 4th round, does Skyler Green bring up great memories.
As much as that was a really good draft there's part of me that gets quesy when I realize we passed on Rodgers (twice) because Drew Bledsoe had signed a 3 year contract with us. Either we knew what we had with Romo or we are idiots.We have drafted as well or better than Parcells over the last 3 years and everyone forgets he was saved by the Jets when he wanted to draft that DT.
And Let's not forget he wanted Spears over Ware, thank god Jerry put his foot down.
I think we would already have a Superbowl if he had started Romo early and coached him out some of his bad habits but he had to the wins.As much as that was a really good draft there's part of me that gets quesy when I realize we passed on Rodgers (twice) because Drew Bledsoe had signed a 3 year contract with us.

Wait, what? Parcells set us back? He set the table for Phillips. Our "core" over the last decade is because he was around. He whiffed like everyone else. But I bet we look back on the Phillips and Garrett regimes in a lower light.Actually no.
Him missing on so many 2nd and 4th round draft choices set this team back a couple of years, you know the same thing people bitch about now.
I would say he set us up for some playoff runs, and was a million times better than the Gailey, Campo or Phillips era GMing. But there were deep flaws that hurt us in the long term. We hit big in 03 and 05, and had some pretty amazing udfa signings with Miles Austin and Romo. But we drafted every undersized injury prone olinemen available, and handed Marco Rivera to a big contract for good measure. Our best two lineman of the Phillips era (Gurode, Adams) were pre-Parcells era guys. I gotta think that if we had even a little bit of success in the Parcells era with oline we wouldn't have had a bunch of schlubs like Costa, Livings, and Bernadeau protecting Romo for the first few years of the Garrett era. Considering that every late season melt down 2011-2013 was precipitated by a Romo injury, that's pretty impactful.Wait, what? Parcells set us back? He set the table for Phillips.

Yeah. Parcells wasn't perfect but who is. He built something that had some success until it got Jerried & Waded, though Wade got some good mileage out of it. I don't kiss the man's feet but he knew what he was doing. Everyone misses on players but he had success in multiple places. Jerry didn't like walking on eggshells though so we get Garrett. Hooray.Wait, what? Parcells set us back? He set the table for Phillips. Our "core" over the last decade is because he was around. He whiffed like everyone else.

That core was Romo Witten and Ware, that's not a deep enough core.Wait, what? Parcells set us back? He set the table for Phillips. Our "core" over the last decade is because he was around. He whiffed like everyone else. But I bet we look back on the Phillips and Garrett regimes in a lower light.
The only thing that sunk Parcells' tenure was his complete failure to draft or even sign O-Line. Johnson, Rodgers, Peterman, Rivera, leaving Gurode on the bench for 2 years because he didn't know he could play Center, rolling into a season with Pettiti penciled in at RT, kept that offense from ever getting up off its ass while he was here.Actually no.

Doesn't he suck anyway?Nolan Carroll signed back with the Eagles.
Let me guess, you like him now?Chris Long goes to dinner with Cowboys tonight, and promptly agreed to a one year deal with New England.
Not especially. Just embarrassed by this joke of a team that is idiotic enough to actually become a worse team coming off a 4-12 season. In most NFL cities, there is at least the attempt to improve, whether it works or not.Let me guess, you like him now?
This team is infected with Jerryism....will be that way till that fucker is 6' under (preferable), is deaf and dumb (still risky), or put away in an old folks home (still would be able to make the same decisions he's making now).Not especially.

Aside from landing Thornton, this roster has not improved.
A guy who turned a perpetual 5-11 team into a playoff team set the team back?Actually no.
