In that case, they owe me a beer mug and a window.Glad you find it funny, asshole. The way I have it figured, Jones, Parcells and Carthon owe me about $500 bucks I had to pay for a new cover over the stove.

So you're saying you could just call 800-StoveRange to fix it?Glad you find it funny, asshole. The way I have it figured, Jones, Parcells and Carthon owe me about $500 bucks I had to pay for a new cover over the stove.
The only thing worse was when Det snatched up Mike Williams at 10 in 2005. I mean we got Ware, but just think of what could have been with Williams. Right guys? You feel me?
Everyone has to be good at something, and you are really damn good at killing a buzz.I still approve of trading down in that scenario, giving up a 20-something first in exchange for a 2nd and a future first, especially when the target is a RB, as that position is generally one of the most dime-a-dozen spots.
That is how you accumulate primo assets. I would even approve of that approach this year. I'd give up 16 for something like 34 and a future first.
You just have to draft correctly.
So it could've been a good move if the picks weren't wasted on Jones and Spears? Agreed.You just have to draft correctly.
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!!! Stay down, Smitsnatch!So it could've been a good move if the picks weren't wasted on Jones and Spears? Agreed.
In hindsight, yes, but the RB position was still considered pretty valuable back then.I still approve of trading down in that scenario, giving up a 20-something first in exchange for a 2nd and a future first, especially when the target is a RB, as that position is generally one of the most dime-a-dozen spots.

Yeah we are all about draft day nightmares and comes in here with this.Everyone has to be good at something, and you are really damn good at killing a buzz.
So the cowboys were idiots for trading up for Emmitt Smith.I still approve of trading down in that scenario, giving up a 20-something first in exchange for a 2nd and a future first, especially when the target is a RB, as that position is generally one of the most dime-a-dozen spots.

I remember how pissed I was when that happened. Easily the best RB in the draft fell right into our laps and we trade back like some dumbasses. The RB position was our biggest need that year as well.
I was posting at ESPN at the time and me and the rest of the posters were livid.
IIRC, leading up to the draft Jackson was projected as a top 5-10 pick and he fell to the 20s.
Same here.I stopped watching the draft that year when we passed on Jackson.
Oh, hell yeah. We were all high fiving each other. Because heading into the draft we figured we'd have to settle on the 2nd or 3rd best RB. Jackson was thought to be out of the question unless we traded up.
So we were celebrating like crazy when he was still on the board in the 20s. Then I started getting worried because we were taking too much time for what should have been a slam dunk pick. And sure as shit these jackasses outsmarted themselves with that dumbass trade.
Good times.
Yup.I knew there was a problem when they had a camera fixed on Jackson and he just sat there dumbfounded, wondering why he wasn't getting a phone call.
This was the moment I started to become a jerry-hater. I even stood by jerry when he bypassed Randy Moss. But bypassing Steven Jackson made me see the light.Same here.
It is easily the most angry I've ever been over anything Cowboys related that didn't involve a game.
Like Carp, I didn't watch another second of that draft after that.
I hate Jerry as much as the next man, but that move was definitely way more Parcells than Jerry.This was the moment I started to become a jerry-hater. I even stood by jerry when he bypassed Randy Moss. But bypassing Steven Jackson made me see the light.
He wanted Bobby Carpenter.
