Mick Shots

Thanks for painting some of the fans as strawmen, Mick. You're a real class act.

While I didn't want the Cowboys to go after DeAngelo Bust, I'm sure the fans who advocated such a move would have wanted him at a cheaper price. AND YOU KNOW THAT!

Anybody that knows how much cap space we have knows that there is no way we  could afford hall. Im sure if we were to read micks' e-mails they would be flooded by fans who think we should hire moss, samuel, hall, and draft mcfadden all in the same off season. I dont care how much you shave off of their overall pay there is no way you could afford that much "talent". Plus I am sure Hall is going to get that huge deal "that he is not worth." So lay off mick, he was not speaking directly to you emp. And im not trying to sound rude to you.

you tell em emp  !!!!!!

(sigh)

Down here in Ga, all of the falcon fans I know have become Cowboys fans :P

Way to see the light boys.

I'm glad Hall is going to be gone.

I can't wait for Dallas to come back to the ATL ><

Most reasonable people knew obtaining Hall was near impossible and maybe not even the best fit for our team, no matter what the price of the contract. I also hope the talk of Pac Man Jones is just talk as well...........we dont need that idiot.......no matter how good of a football player he MIGHT be. However one thing has been burning in my gut as a hunch........I really feel Jerry's "WoW" factor is going to be signing McFadden........personally I dont think we need........but I just have a feeling Jerry is fix-ated on him due to his talent and Arkansas ties........lets see what happens. Mick.......dont worry about the many negative comments you get. I take all of your comments for what they are worth and dont need the other sensitive fans on here to try to make there message or feeling evident. Personally Mick........I enjoy reading all of your columns and enjoy your perspective..........Say what you want.........this fan is not so sensitive.............Keep up the good work!!! ;)

Even if DeAngelo Hall was willing to pay the COWBOYS, not the other way around, I STILL wouldn't want that piece of cancer on the team. Let alone paying him millions??

I completely agree with Mick. Are some of you guys insane??

Now, in light of Chad Johnsons recent words on nflnetwork and further stating his wishes to leave Cincy, I have been on the fence as far as offering Cincy one of our firsts just to see what their response would be. They know darn well (especially now) Chad wants out. I have to imagine they would rather take a draft pick or two than risking having a half-hearted receiver start all year.

But the biggest question for me is how him and T.O would get along. Especially in terms of money, who's the #1 receiver, and a whole bunch of other ego-related issues.

But if it could work.... Man.. Dallas immediately has the best WR combo in the league. And, if TG returns to himself, he's always played BEST as the slot guy. He cannot be covered by a nickel corner all game. Then we also have Crayton, and looking at the last few years, chances are one of either TG, CJ, TO or a combination of them wouldn't play the entire season, which would give Crayton his playing time as well as some potential developmental time for Stanback.

If you ask me, Receiver is becoming a lot like cornerback. You cannot have too many of them (especially in this offense.) Look at last year. Both T.O and T.G were hurt. What makes anyone think that will change? And how are people assuming T.G will return to his old form?? Too many "ifs" We need one more big time receiver, and a corner or three.

i agree that Hall was definatly a no go but Pacman I still believe is a possiblility he says he wants to play here so restructure that contract and give him one chance if he screws up which I dont believe he will knowing this is his last chance then so what. But if he doesn't mess up then we have a good corner and someone who can help our terrible return game. But hey if Chad Johnson is a possibility I say go for that first.

Mick, that statement should have read, "That’s what (some of ) you guys wanted the Cowboys to fork over for a guy who has been such trouble to the Falcons organization?"  Because, not all of us wanted that locker room cancer on this team.

To quote one of the DMN writers, "Hall is a good corner who thinks he's great." Obviously he convinced the Raiders, too, that he was great.

I'm perfectly happy to keep the players we have and address our needs in the draft. If we could get a cap-friendly deal with a bunch of behavior related language written in there for Pacman then I would say take a chance because he is a pretty good player...not only at the corner but also returning punts.

I also enjoy reading your opinions, I just wish you weren't so quick to paint us all with the same brush.

PACMAN = Felon

HALL = NOT VERY GOOD and locker room cancer

Fans who want either of these guys = not to bright!!!

how are any of these things good for the COWBOYS!!??

Good job Mick!!!

D hall= NO WAY

Pacman Jones= MAYBE

Chad Johnson= Probably not he will want too much money.

We need to stick with what we have and stay out of Free Agency. We do not have alot of cap room to go after these guys. We have a god shot filling our holes with the draft. We can find good talent in the draft. WE DO NOT NEED TO GO after McFadden. We do not need to blow 2 first rounders just to get to him. We do not really nees starters we need fillers who can be molded to be starters.

That's why the raider organization and team stink. They take everyone else's rejects, over pays them and still lose

The point about Hall being on his way to a vastly overpaid contract is well made (as usual guys - Thanks).

 I've enjoyed reading all the content on this site for many years and I'm appreciative of the insightful opinions, regularly offered. However, I wish to echo comments made by other fans that when the staff writers are faced with derogatory comments or naivity on the cost/feasibility of acquiring a player, please take the high road and resist sending barbed replies which frankly I'm not interested in reading.

"We need to stick with what we have and stay out of Free Agency. We do not have alot of cap room to go after these guys. We have a god shot filling our holes with the draft.

CowboyMarine you hit the nail on the head, man everyone forgets we did go 13-3 last year and won the division.  I'm not exactly sure but how many starters are we losing?  I mean we did lose some key special team guys but I think thats it.  Through the draft, and having guys like Watkins and Carpenter step up we'll be just fine.

All I advocate is sticking with our place in the Draft, I and a lot other fans believe that we have a the pieces in place and we just need corners and depth, both of which we can get in the Draft. I am sure I am no genious and can't be the only person who see's things that way, but sensible suggestions never make it into the emails cause they can't be thrown under the bus, I know cause I write Every week.
