Whoo, the Disrespect Begins!


Recommended Posts

THis is great. We love the disrespect card. We have a bunch of guys that now have something to prove and are being dissed. So I will be the first to say that it looks like another playoff run this year. We don't handle prosperity very well but we are best when it is us against the world.

:party:

we're under-ranked because we sucked so bad in the playoffs... and i gauruntee you every single man on that roster knows it, hates it, harbors a bitter grudge against it, and will come out playing with everything to prove.

bring the mediocre rankings all day long.

Only team immune to being destroyed in the first round is the Cowboys who always rank top 15 no matter how many times they fail.

Exactly....the Cowboys did not even make the playoffs....got absolutely destroyed in their finale (which would have gotten them in the playoffs).....lose the only decent WR they have....and still rank in the Top 10.

This within itself is proof that all of the "expert" talking heads are sheep...nothing but sheep.

You have to remember that most of these experts are ex-players....and the average NFL player scores at about middle school level on the Wonderlic Test......they are not exactly an intelligent bunch.

i also gauruntee you they are forced, to some extent, to give certain teams more hype whether or not they deserve it. Rank the cowboys outside the top ten - even if they deserve it (which they do) - and you've got a very large fanbase that's upset because some idiots put so much stock in such things as rankings.

the people that make these rankings are less idiot, more ratings instrument.

Rankings might as well be done by the fans cause all the darlings seem to make it to the top no matter how bad they are. Its crazy the Cards rank so low and they were in the SB last year and have lost no players.

    • A new coach coming in after what I think was one of the biggest clusters of a team last year and giving your first overall QB a chance isn't to crazy.  You really don't know until you get on the field and Canales saw what we all saw.  Bryce Young was not good enough to start.  But Canales, the staff and numerous other coaches who called about trading for BY thought he might be salvageable.   I agree with you that I don't think it smart or probable that BW would put up 300 yards and 3td.  That is why Canales isn't asking or expecting him to do that.  Yet. And even that "Yet" is just a possibility but it's too freaking hard to find a QB in the NFL and there were to many other factors last year to say BW is a total bust and move on.  Especially when moving on right now means a big trade, some QB off a practice squad or running with some UDFA. The worst thing would be stuck in 6-8 wins a season but that would be a hell of a lot better than the last few year but I get and agree with your point.  My point is simply that the possibility that BW turns it around and becomes a good QB is much more likely than Dalton or any other QB we could get giving us a better chance to win games and improve long term. The only thing I've continued to preach is he's the best option currently and going forward but that doesn't mean we don't bring in other players to improve and get better.  History has shown that this place is ready to cut bait way to early on players with little regard to the alternative, or other factors that play a role in a players success. I'd love to enjoy a win without being told repeatedly over and over by the same people why we are still a failure.  The whole yeah we won but... I'm not arguing and I don't think anyone else actually thinks that your QB throwing for 126 yards is a recipe for winning but I think most people would like to feel good about a win instead of focusing on the host of things we need to continue to improve upon to be a yearly contender.  Trust me, no one is going to forget we still have a long way to go.
    • Drops. Penalties on TD throws. Fumbles.  we did a lot to make Bryce’s day look pretty ordinary. He still looked light years better than the first 2 weeks.  all we could hope for is progress and we’re getting it. 
    • I like allar and the qb from LSU as second round options. I'm coming more on board with taking the best defensive player available in the first. Hopefully that's a DE.
