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.

Cowboys lost to Rams.... Defense!!!

       If you're reading this expecting me to bash the Cowboys defense stop reading now! The Cowboys have a struggling defense but that shouldn't be a surprise to anybody. The only way to build a championship team in today's NFL is to hit on some draft picks.  The Cowboys have invested a ton of money on the offensive side of the ball. They still have to pay Zach Martin this season. Also consider that they will have to pay Zeke and Dak at some point very soon. The only way to improve this defensive unit is via the draft. Look on the bright side, the Cowboys could be paying $200 million to defensive players and be sitting at 0-4 like the Giants.         Staying with the money aspect for just a second. Demarcus Lawrence (DLaw) and David Irving are up for contracts after this season. Lawrence was leading the league in sacks coming into week 4. Chances are they will only keep one of them. Byron Jones, a...

How to make a Return Sean Lee?

   I was born in the 80s. That means that I lived through the greatest era of wrestling, the 90s-2000s. We don't have enough time in one blog to go over all the things that era of wrestling got right. One thing they did exceptionally well was wrestler returns. The Cowboys could steal a page out the WWF (now WWE) playbook as it pertains to Sean Lee's return. Daily build up, pyrotechnics, and a heel! Every great return needs a heel. Stings heel was Hollywood Hogan for goodness sake!         Who better a Heel than the Philadelphia Eagles? The defending super bowl champions (🤮🤮🤮). The team whose fans cheered when Michael Irvin laid motionless on his back (something I will never forget). They got the title but it feels like they cheated, like they got outside interference. It just feels like we need a good guy in this situation. Somebody to come from the back and give the fans hope that all good will prevail. The someone is Sean ...

Five Keys to beating the 49ers!!!!

                        Cowboy Nation, it’s time to dust ourselves off and get ready for the reminder of the 2017 season. Yes, it was a rough 5-week start to the season, but it isn’t over and the Cowboys are still in great position to get the job done. The bye week has come and gone. At this point, I’m ready to put everything that went on the first 5 weeks, in the back of my mind and approach the reminder of the season with renewed faith.             The Dallas Cowboys take on the San Francisco 49ers. Many Cowboys fans have taken the confident approach and have turned their noses up at the 49ers. They think that this is a non-contest and the Cowboys should win this game going away, be careful. This 49ers team has lost 5 straight games by 3 points or less. If there is any team due (due theory) for a win it’s the 49ers. Salmon Thomas and Deforest Buckner are s...
