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.

Defense shines bright Today!!!!!

            Game day is here! The Cowboys will be taking on the Packers, today, at 4:15 pm EST. This is a big game for the Cowboys. It’s a chance to get back on the winning path. Much has been made about the Packers, mostly because they have the best quarterback in the game, Aaron Rodgers. Outside of Rodgers this Packers team is mediocre. I think this will be a statement win, and a win that will bode well for the Cowboys in the standings later in the season. Demarcus “DLAW” Lawrence             DLaw is the NFL sack leader (7.5) through the first four weeks of the season. He has had in impact in every game. I would love for him to play the run better, but I will settle for him getting to the quarterback.             This is a game tailor made for Lawrence. The Packers may be without their starting tackles. The offensive line for the ...

The Time is now Defense!

            The time is now for the Dallas Cowboys! I’m not going to diminish how important Zeke Elliot is to the success of this Cowboys team. The reality is that he is probably going to serve this six game suspension at some point. Even if he pushes it back a week or two, the NFL is going to win. Personally, I would like to see him serve the suspension now because the team appears to be gelling together. They are more equipped now after a two game win streak, to make a run at Philly for the division lead. What has to happen for the Cowboys to keep the season trending upward?             The Dallas Cowboys are in a perfect position after 8 weeks. Their record sits at 4-3 and they didn’t look good the first five games of the season. Since the week six bye week the Cowboys have been playing amazing. Say what you want about the quality of opponent, there aren’t many great teams in the league anyways...

The Cowboys will be figure out..... Stop it!

                             When you’re America’s team (say what you want about it) there will always be hate surrounding you. The hates comes from the love that so many people have for the Dallas Cowboys. Either that or they have beaten your favorite team in route to five super bowl championships. So either you love the Cowboys or you love to hate the Cowboys, which ever one it is, you have some love for the Cowboys.             I would like to take time to address the Stephen A Smith’s of the world. The haters that love to spout out that “the Cowboys will find a way to mess it up”, or “they’re a disaster waiting to happen.” Tony Romo breaking a bone in his back isn’t considered a disaster waiting to happen. He got hurt! Injuries are a part of the game. Had it not been for that Romo injury the Cowboys would have made the postseason three s...
