Shut up Ron Jaworski






           It’s becoming harder and harder to judge quarterbacks in the NFL! Many people like to use the Super Bowl measuring stick. You know when your greatness is defined by how many super bowls wins the players has. The problem with using super bowls is that they’re a team accomplishments. Don’t get me wrong you must have at least one super bowl win in order to be considered great but it isn’t the end all be all.
Then you have the people that want to judge by the numbers. Those guys are like ESPN and take the states from a small period of a players career and match them up with the others. Stats to me are manipulated in the favor of whoever wants to win the argument. When discussing great players you have to use the entire body of work and not these segmented periods, to determine which one is better. Also stats are an direct reflection of the era of which the player played. Quarterbacks didn’t have to throw the ball 30 times a game in the 50s, 60s, or 70s. They didn’t throw as much in the 80s and 90s as they do now. In my opinion, stats aren’t a good barometer for determining greatness.
That leaves us with the eye test as the measuring stick. Its hard to be non-bias when using the eye test because most of the times a player caught your eye for one reason or another. For me it’s Cam Newton! I’m a huge Cam Newton fan, 99% of the things I say about Cam are going to be favorable. That means I’m looking at his game through rose colored glasses. Whichever method you want to use stand by it and own it. That leads me to Ron Jaworski.
Ron Jaworski shut the hell up! He has been quoted saying “Dak Prescott is already a top ten quarterback.” First off, this is the say guy that said “Colin Kaepernick is going to be the greatest QB to ever play the game.” Three years later, Kap is looking for team to play for. Jaws has no creditability. He wasn’t a great quarterback when he played, he isn’t able to judge a quarter any better than the next FAN!
The second thing is that Dak has only played one season in the league. We all know that I’m as big a Cowboys fan as anyone in the world. I understand that it takes time to be considered an elite quarterback. It also takes accomplishments, and winning rookie of the year isn’t enough to place him ahead of guys like Eli Manning or Phillip Rivers. I think Dak can have a huge year and can outperform those two (especially Eli because he is a bum) but he still hasn’t earned the node ahead of them.

Jaws you have a quarterback in Philly by the name of Carson Wentz that is pretty good. Spend more time talking about him and less time talking about my boy Dak! Dak will be fine this season and going forward. We also don’t need blessing of the great Ron Jaworiski to expedite he progression.

Marinelli..... Keep being special!

                It was a time not so long ago when Jason Hatcher had a pro bowl season with 11 sacks. Hatcher was probably the last dominate pass rusher for the Dallas Cowboys. Since joining the team in 2013 Rob Marinelli has been the leader of the “JAG” (Just A Guy) committee, when it comes to pass rushers. He’s had some solid linemen, but none has been special. That probably will not change much this upcoming season.                 Drafting Taco Charlton was taking a position of need. Was he the best player available at his position? Only time will tell. Can he step in week one and be the pass rusher the Cowboys hope he can be? We will just have to wait in see. There are many questions surrounding Charlton, and he play was have to answer them. The consensus is that Charlton is a very talented but inconsistent player. He has shown flashes of being special at the coll...

Five Keys to beating the Packers

             It’s been an up and down start to the 2017 season for the Dallas Cowboys. I haven’t reached the sky is falling phase yet for this team. In the grand scheme of things, this team is still right where they want to be. They’re one game out of first place for the Division and the Conference. They still have to play Philly and the Redskins twice. This team already has one division win in its hat. Everything that the Cowboys hope to accomplish this year, is still very much attainable. Most reasonable fans looked at this schedule, at the beginning of the season and knew that it would be tougher rode for the Cowboys. This team wasn’t going 16-0 and it’s better to struggle now, early in the season, as oppose to late in the year when the games matter most.             With that out the way, the Cowboys have a lot of work to do in order to get back to the 2016 team that we s...

Calling on General Garrett

I have written a number of blog post about what we, as fans, expect from the players on this Cowboys team. Now let’s put some responsibility at the feet of Jason Garrett. In order for the Dallas Cowboys to make the jump to being a championship team they will need an A+ effort from their General. Jason Garrett is coming off an amazing season with the Dallas Cowboys  which lead to him receiving the coach of the year award. He was able to guide his team to a 13-3 record, a division title, and the best record in the NFC. They eventually lost to the Packers in the divisional round, but the Cowboys still had a good season. I still don’t think we have seen the best of Garrett’s coaching abilities. Since the three straight seasons going 8-8 from 2011-2013, Garrett has been an above average coach. It should be mentioned that in those three season the Cowboys playoff chances can down to the last game of the season. Some people blame Romo for those loses and some b...
