Question from an Eagles fan

he’s been shitty both halves. Obviously the picks would be great to have back. All in all, we are better off (on the field) with TO gone and Roy here. That is mainly because we have been blessed with the emergence of Miles Austin. Without Austin, this season would look pretty bad in the passing numbers. With TO here, there’s no doubt he would have put up numbers probably comparable to Austin’s but we wouldn’t have known what we had in Austin and we would have constant drama week in and week out. It has been truly nice with TO and the drama gone.

How big a loss is Jamal Jackson?

Where does he rank among your offensive linemen?

What do you think of Max Jean-Gilles?

We should’ve kept the pick. Could’ve gotten Percy Harvin or Michael Oher.

Cut TO and keep the picks instead of trading for a mediocre WR.

Could’ve had Harvin, Oher, and a few other nice players.

What we gave up for him, but compare him to most 2nd string WR’s, his numbers aren’t bad. He might not always be reliable, but he scores touchdowns. Jason witten might be the most reliable player on the team, but he doesn’t score touchdowns.

he is the main reason we didn’t make the playoffs last year and we wouldn’t have made this year if we kept him.

He’s an overrated prima dona selfish jerk.

you couldn’t get rid of TO without knowing how to replace his production. Turns out the production was already on the roster(Miles), but we thought it was elsewhere(RW). We were fortunate, the transformation into a top flite WR, who had trouble staying on the field up to that point, started more from circumstance than design.

Would I have liked the draft picks – sure, but that’s getting pretty greedy. There’s no way we get rid of TO if JJ didn’t believe RW would be productive

I mean, if his relationship with McNabb and Co. didn’t go as sour as it did. Just curious.

Don’t trade for Williams.

Having Williams is ok; he’s not a liability and he’s all right in the red zone. But he’s certainly not worth what the Cowboys gave up to get him.

of the 4 … I voted to trade.

But then I thought …. if they kept #20, and got Harvin …. and put him with Austin ….. that would be nice.

Also, this is assuming Austin would still be progressing like he has all year.

It probably would have been a no-brainer to keep TO.

just on the merits of you being an Eagles fan worrying about our team, would that be wrong? :)

and TO gets cut again.

He was steadily declining and more trouble than he was worth….How many times did we discuss he couldn’t get seperation anymore. He is no longer a eilte WR in this league…..We are soooo much better without him…

TO, when in Dallas, was a great player production-wise. Having the benefit of hindsight though, it is pretty clear to me that our team is better off without him though. We have managed to replace him production-wise with Austin (albeit a little later than ideal), and it is clear to me now that with him gone, Romo has blossomed in many ways and gotten even better. I also appreciate not having to deal with the media circus that TO always brings.

As for Roy, I was torn. On the one hand, I have been one of his more staunch defenders on the basis of that I think he has more natural talent than any other receiver on this roster not named Miles Austin (i.e. he is the only WR that could have caught that TD pass against Washington). On the other hand though, he has become extremely frustrating to watch at times as I think he is in his own head and therefore making easy plays look difficult. I eventually decided to go with the last option, partially because I would love to believe that everything is perfect, and also because I do actually believe that Roy can be an extremely solid number two if he could just get over what seems to be a mental block.

The Cowboys are a TEAM again. And, that’s the whole point. To someone like him, that’s a foreign concept. His kind will never understand it if the entire organization doesn’t revolve around him.

The last year he was here, how many passes did he drop? How many passes did he bobble in his hands before dropping the ball? I can remember him bobbling a pass in the end zone in which he more or less flipped the ball to the db covering him, resulting in a turnover.

TO is an overrated loud mouth. Go ask the fans in Buffalo what they think of their new “elite” receiver.

but this team is defn better off without him even before miles austin brokeout. Their attitude their swagger their mentality. Gives a chance for guys like TC to become a vocal leader… etc etc point is the cowboys are defn better off now. Hindsight is 2020
