NFL draft thread

[stevesmi]

any other NFL nerds on here who will watch it?

who is your team and who do you want them to pick?

I hope the Dolphins get that LB from OSU.. shazier or whatever. we need a middle linebacker who can step in and play right away. our run defense last year was shit

Packer backer here - don't follow the draft too closely, but what they really need is someone on the front 7 who can generate a pass rush. We added peppers but now we need a good linebacker. Hopefully that mlb from Alabama - he seems to be on most of the mocks. Packers usually trade out of round 1 though

say what you want about Jerry Jones but he has owned the team since 88 and has 3 super bowl rings to his credit thanks to his decision to hire Jimmy Johnson.

how many other teams have more rings since 88? the answer is ZERO.

does he have any business running the team? no but he still has 3 rings so cowboys fans need to stop bitching. you had your time in the sun.

What the hell does having 3 rings since 1988 have to do with the price of metal? Your statements are reckless...

Lions all day, I'll be watching. I would like to see them trade the 10 spot and get additional picks.

Lol. I hear you, bor. I think Jones should humble himself, and go offer Gruden or Cowher a big contract. He should let one of them run the show, and just stay out-of-the-way. I bet they would get another ring or two.

 

[BigTurk]

Bills---would love to see them get Watkins in a trade up if the price is right or stay put at 9 and draft Ebron, Beckham or Evans, though I doubt Evans would be there...

If they can trade down a few picks and pick up an additional second that would be good too...

Praying they don't draft an OT at 9...or even worse, trade up to draft Robinnson at 2 or 3...

Any defensive players or QBs taken picks 1-8 are a big help to our chances tho...

when the cowboys won 4 games during that bad stretch he went and let Parcells run things.. parcells built a pretty good D and found Romo. Jones would do it again but Romo is a 8 win QB on his own even with inferior talent around him so that is gonna keep him from doing it.. wait till his son takes over the team it will be worse. nepotism at its finest

if Manziel drops and the cowboys are in position to get him the shit will hit the fan in Dallas. Romo is already the most under appreciated QB in the nfl. without him last year with that horrendous defense they win 3 games tops.. romo has 1 bad game and they will call for his head

tonight will be interesting. with the 4 QB's projected to go in the 1st round and with so many teams needing QB's we have no idea where they will go.. Manziel could go top 3 or drop to the late 1st. there are also 3 stud WR's that are going to be future pro bowlers too

Romo most definitely is appreciated....usually by the other team when he throws a mind numbing interception to end the game with 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter to seal the game for them...lol

he is a good QB bro. people don't realize it but his numbers blow away Troy Aikman's across the board. look it up.

Aikman had superior talent around him plus a defense that gave him short fields all the time. if Romo had Aikman's talent around him who knows what would happen

Those are impossible to compare as it was a different era back then. Average QBs these days are putting up numbers better than any QB of that era on a regular basis because its a much more pass driven league. Back then the exception was if you threw more than you ran, now its if you run more than you throw. Romo isn't bad, but he isn't winning a SB, he just doesn't have that type of makeup in him

right but before Romo the cowboys were a 4-5 win team.. didn't they go 3 straight years with 5 wins? he shows up and suddenly they are 13-3. he isn't Brady or Manning but he is better than most QB's

cowboy's fans are spoiled that's the main problem.

Like it or not they are married to him with that crazy contract they gave him...at age 34 heading on the downslope of his career and coming off back surgery, I sure as hell wouldn't be too optimistic of his chances of getting them there...

To me Romo is the guy who plays his best when it matters least and is at his worst when it matters most...first week of the year, he is throwing 5 TDs looking unstoppable, but week 17 the last two years they played a win the division or go home game and got smoked both times...

 

[stevesmi]

^^^ nah bro he isn't taking them to the super bowl lol ....

but he deserves better treatment then cowboys fans have give him. 96 passer rating over the course of his career.. last year he had 31 TD's and just 10 picks.. that is pretty damn good to have a 3 to 1 ratio .. and every season of his career he has had a 90 rating or higher. I just don't understand why he is so under appreciated

give me a QB of that caliber combined with a good defense and you are in the playoffs every year

I would think its because of his pension for playing small in big games and for making critical, mind numbing mistakes at the worst times...his talent level says that shouldn't keep happening but it does

Steelers all day strong baby...we need a whole new secondary...got some hall of famers to replace. Plus a good back up QB would be NICE!!!

[Tha_waco_kid]

I agree with Steve - I think romo is a good qb. Unfortunately he is defined by a few horrible mistakes at some of the worst possible times. His numbers are covered up to most because all they can remember are those few plays. But I'm sure he doesn't mind too much considering his net worth

Yes Madison is a great town, been there 10+ times for meetings always in the summer. Go down tot he student union at night and listen to music by the water. Watched a boat burn to the hull, no joke and as soon as everyone was safe and fire dept put what was left out, the band broke into "smoke on the water".

The botched snap against the seahawks in a 3 yard field goal...in 07'. I still remember we were sitting at my friends bar in his basement and i called it jokingly then it happened. Plus the owner wears make-up. He has fired 3 hall of fame coaches... He does a lot for the city of Dallas but JJ is way too involved in the daily operations. Him forcing TO on Parcells is why Parcells left. But I agree that Romo is a darn good QB.

 

[mdwiemann]

Romo is a good QB, but he is a little neurotic. Um, people forget that a lot football has to do with timing and execution. The players Romo had through the years were/are very talented but not exactly intelligent. It took Dez Bryant 3 years to learn the play book, and he sucks at timing patterns to this day. His defense constantly chokes....if you follow them, and if you are well observant, you would have noticed the Cowboys lost 90% of their games in th 4th, after blowing substantial leads.

I'm originally from Pittsburgh, born and raised there and I hate Steelers.Their fans are douchebags, and they are not realistic. I remember when I lived there, how on Sunday's people would sport their Steeler jerseys on Sunday's, like they were sporting the Medal Of Honor. I loved it when the Cowboys kicked them in the mouth in the 1996-1997 Super Bowl. Revenge is sweet!!!

That's what your supposed to do...places like Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Chicago and Green Bay are the soul of the NFL...those teams and their fans are everything that's right with football in the conditions it was meant to be played in, not some fancy dome or in 85 degree temps in December...

Buffalo still sells out after missing the playoffs for 14 straight years...forget selling out, most places wouldn't even have a team after that long cause they would draw 20,000 people if they were lucky...hell Jacksonville, Miami and Tampa already do that as it is without them giving half the tickets away so they can claim sellouts.

There is no off-season in these places for the fans, its football 365 days a year, and in Buffalo its similar with hockey as well...would be shocked if Buffalo isn't in the top 5 TV ratings when they get released for the NHL Playoffs, we might not be in them, but we aren't just Sabre fans, we are hockey fans.

IMO... Jerry Jones has very little incentive to get his shit together and go for a ring.. Why should he? Dallas fans are fucking nuts, and will pay whatever they need to, to support that team. Jones doesn't care about the fans, or another ring, its all about the $$$$$$$

Yes bro that was the happiest moment in recent lions history. I am not going to lie, he got them back on the right track in the beginning but he always had an excuse for his failures....not man enough to own up to any of it.

We better start getting some secondary for sure, been a thorn in our sides for the past few seasons.

George halas changed the bears to the bears from the rileys because he thought football players should be bigger than baseball players (cubs). Hence; da bears.
