Only way RG3 was finishing that game is if they allowed you to play in a wheelchair.
heard it on the radio, laughed so hard. good luck cowboys never winning a ring and paying loser so much
Does that mean Russell will be in a Rascal next season? You know, since Pete the Cheat copying Shanahan's playbook is the only reason for Wilson's improvement.
Texted one of my buddies who is a die hard Cowboys fan for his reaction:
You can officially welcome America's Team into the circle!

Just wow.
Well I can't argue since Matt Ryan got this kind of money as well.

You think Romo is worth more guaranteed money then Flacco or Brady or any other QB ever? This is a horrible deal and now the Cowboys will be in cap hell not only this year but for several years going forward. They badly overpaid a guy that has 1 playoff win in his life.
Russell actually knows how to avoid getting hit. Evidence: Russell has 2 functioning knees.

Cowboys continue to be a joke. Good job Jerry.

Rodgers' contract going to be entirely guaranteed? I have no idea how Green Bay is going to do his contract at this point.
He's better than Flacco and on par with Brady.
He got far more guaranteed money than Flacco, Eli, and Brees, by comparison.
I mean I see this contract last three years, maybe four tops.
I think it's insane Flacco got 20m/yr. Unless you subscribe to theory that Cameron was holding back an elite talent, he's a totally average QB that has always been protected by a good defense and run game. Brady took less money b/c Kraft played him and told him he would spend it on free agents when he really just wanted to buy New Myra a Manhattan townhome
Romo is the reason that Dallas is even in position to blow close games. A league average QB and they win 4 games last year

But Oakland and Kansas City acquired quarterbacks so that they wouldn't be forced to take one early. Buffalo hasn't done that. Geno will almost certainly go there at this point, unless the Bills pick up Carson Palmer.

Looks at all of that talent...(in a year where he traded away his first rounder for Roy fucking Williams)
I think Buffalo takes Nasib over any of the other guys. Meaning they wait till the 2nd round.
And Arizona doesn't seem interested at all in him unless its to throw everyone off. I say he goes to the JETS!
Also I think it is time I admit I don't know how twitter works
I made a profile but I really don't get it. I think I'll stick to FB like most old ladies do.
To be fair, the 2009 draft was generally a shit draft. The Patriots also made 12 selections and only have one, Sebastian Vollmer, left.

The 2009 draft class will go down as the year of the WR, Draft had so many good WR, and dumb ass Jerrah traded with Roy hahahahaha please live forever Jerrah...

The only thing that statement tells me is that Pats sucked as much ass drafting as the Cowboys that year:
Giants: Hakeem Nicks, Will Beatty, Andre Brown.
Two starters and a rotation RB who came on big last year after being initially released and resigned.
Steelers: Ziggy Hood, Mike Wallace, Keenan Lewis
Hood will likely be a starter. Wallace and Lewis are no longer there but not because they suck but because of poor cap management.
Ravens: Michael Oher, Paul Kruger, Lardarius Webb
All starters. Kruger just got a big money contract.
Packers: BJ Raji, Clay Matthews, TJ Lang
All starters.
You can argue the "quality" the players there but I go back to the 4 teams that are always mentioned as quality drafting teams and who have won Super Bowls in the past few years.
Jerry's best draft is probably the 2011 class. Tyron Smith, Bruce Carter and Demarco Murray were all solid solid hits in the first three rounds.
Sean Lee was excellent from the 2010 class. Dez is a miracle of athletic talent but who knows if he gets his head out of his ass or not off the field.
I was just thinking this same exact point.
The QB class must really be weak this year if teams are willing to settle for stopgap QBs like Flynn and Smith.
I feel like only 1 QB may go first round this year if any do.

We don't even know yet. Rumor is a pick this year and a conditional one next year, no rounds specified. No need to get all crazy about it yet

Some much needed cap space.
'13 pick and conditional '14 pick. Haven't found round numbers yet.
I think we may see teams jump back in the first round round to take a QB. Or just wait until round 2. Once you get past pick 10, no team will take a QB. It's going to screw up the draft if no QBs go early. Teams wanting OL and WR will be drafting 2nd round talents at pick 15 or so
Don't know where he goes but I did look his highlights, combine, and interviews up.
He comes across as a very impressive young man who seems to have his head on straight.
Warming up to Eagles taking him in the 2nd. But really if someone like Boyd is the target next year, would rather roll the dice with Vick/Foles and fill some other major holes.
for the 6th selection. will be funny after drafting a qb last year. will brandon weeden die of a heart attack when/if they do

I don't really remember EJ Manuel being anything special in college except when Florida State would fall on their face every year. Is he actually a decent prospect?
True, gotta head to bed after murder she wrote and 5 o clock news
He's got the tools. Seems like he isn't a headcase.

Matt Flynn is set to make about same $ as Matt Hasselbeck. Raiders want Flynn to take pay cut. Shows how they see him.
Those are all valid points, I still think the 2009 draft simply didn't have as many impact players in it as the 2010 draft. Nicks and Beatty were good selections, but in 2010 the Giants selected JPP, Linval Joseph, and picked up UDFAs Victor Cruz and Jake Ballard. The Patriots meanwhile drafted 6 starters, including Gronk, Hernandez, McCourty, and Spikes. The Steelers drafted Antonio Brown, Emmanuel Sanders, Pouncey, and Dwyer. Personally, I think the 2010 drafts were better for all three of those teams compared to the 2009 drafts. Still, you're right, 2009 was an awful draft class for the Cowboys.
You mean signing all your stars to big contracts then convert base to bonus for later isnt very smart? Well i'll be.
The Rams took Jason Smith that year. They desperately tried to trade down. They literally would swapped 2 for 15 straight up, but no one wanted it. They took Brown b/c he was supposed to be "safe". It's the draft that really showed the owners how punitive the CBA was to bad teams. Talent poor teams got further crushed with awful rookie contracts
