    Well we are grumpy because we are ready for some football.

    Well, that and because that unwanted guest is visiting my wife again this month, which means Broken Heart for a few days.

    Your mother-in-law?
    lmao now that was funny.

    Hmm, now that you mention it, they both can be killjoys.  Good call.

    Oh...I get it now.  Her monthly bill which if your married, is your bill too.

    There are several things that factor in to all the Felix Jones hype, I agree with GrizzlyBear, about who he is replacing, and add to that just being bored this is the worst time of the year for a football fan because while the team is beginning to get prepared for the season training camp hasn't started, and we don't even get to watch preseason yet so when left to our own what else can we do but talk about our new players and prospects for the season and some of us me included tend to delude ourselves sometimes when it comes to any Cowboy player I think its called Homerizm and ther is no known cure for it until September.

    Yes
    Everyone is bored and nothing else to do but talk about our team and our new rookies. Felix is no Jerry Rice or will he try to be --he is a tailback.

    There is room to discuss Felix Jones in the role that he probably will play. When he lines up at tailback there is several options for him and he was used quite a bit in screen passes. There is a number of different ways to run the screen pass. The Razorbacks used him in the middle on screens or run him inside on a slant.

    Get a mismatch one on one with Felix, like a screen pass, than we are talking about big plays or TD,s. He is a good receiver as a tailback out of the backfield, many tailbacks can not catch, but Felix can catch pretty good and on the move.

    The only thing Felix Jones will be is an upgrade over Julius I think he'll get anywhere from 500 to 800 yards this season at the  most

    Why was this thread started? To tell us to lower our hopes about Felix, or to tell us we're dumb for having such high hopes for him?

    Just someone that's frustrated because many of us are excited about Felix's potential.  Don't know why someone who wants to deal in only cold hard facts would even get on this forum.  Hoopla and excitement over nothing is the norm.  I think it's a blast. 
    OK, Ellis is a bit above average.

    Nothing wrong with having high hopes in a rookie. I have high hopes for all our players. What irks me though is that whenever a rookie of ours gets a compliment from anyone, everyone takes it as if its written in gold. It happened last year with Stanback when after a couple of good comments about his speed and size, everyone became obsessed with him and automatically assumed he could become a very good WR in the league.

    Felix Jones is better than Rice.  Rice was never a Cowboy.

    Because it sure sounds that way, the way some people on these boards are talking about his receiving skills. Why do so many posters go crazy over every compliment any player receives. First it was Stanback is athletic and big, which automatically made him a proven #1 WR. Then it was Amendola was quick, which made him Wes Welker. 

    Now its Felix Jones has good hands and is quick, which means he's the next Westbrook. Did anyone notice how many passes he caught in college? 39 passes, which is very average for a RB. Did he impress people in practice, sure, but then again everyone does, or else they wouldn't even be on the team.

    Can we at least wait till the season starts before people talking about sending him wide on some plays, and using him as a 4th WR in others?

    I read your post only.  I fully agree with you.  BUT  I have been condemned and ostracized because of it.  IMO The koolaid drinkers (fanaticals without unbiased opinion) choose to live in a false reality.  It's sad.  Crack does the same thing to people.

    Exactly. I've seen countless number of posters talk about Stanback like he is our future #1, and it's all because of freakin Spagnola's ranting about him.
