    Taco, Claiborne, and Carpenter are the first round failures of recent memory.  Dallas hasn't had many flat out busts from the first round.  That's probably because they haven't had to reach for QBs.  If Jerry had actually pulled the trigger on the trade up for Paxton Lynch, that would have certainly topped the disaster list.

    All-time Cowboys 1st round picks with lower CarAV rating than Taco's current 6:

    • 1972 (26th) -- RB Bill Thomas (Boston College) ... in 27 career games, carried 13 times for 36 yards (CarAV=0)
    • 1979 (27th) -- C Robert Shaw (Tennessee) ... 33 career games (CarAv=5)
    • 1984 (25th) -- LB Billy Cannon (Texas A&M) ... 8 career games (CarAv=1)
    • Others of note -- Dennis Homan (7), DT Larry Bethea (9), Robert Shaw (5), Rod Hill (7), David LaFleur (7) and Bobby Carpenter (10)

    Game is now "Pick 'em"

  2. Changing the title is a start. What I’ve always been told is that as long as “child” is still dependent on parent — living at home, receiving substantial assistance while away at college — the parents would be legally liable. Splitting up the insurance doesn’t really make much sense until they’re off on their own unless there are extenuating circumstances.

    Anyone going to the Smoke fest thing at Main Street Garden Saturday?  Posted about it in the main TX BBQ thread.

    Probably not this year. I've gone before but my wife doesn't care about the food so it's kind of a waste for her to get down there that early. It's also not cheap.

  4. He led the NFL in Approximate Value last season at 22 (so he earned 1 for the one game his rookie year).

    Any rankings system that doesn't value Patrick Mahomes as the most valuable and productive player from the 2017 draft doesn't pass the smell test. 

    Not that I'm defending Taco in any way. He sucks big time

    Mahomes only appeared in one game as a rookie so his 23 was effectively all from last year. The other four have all played two full seasons. I'm certain Mahomes will be #1 at the conclusion of this season provided he doesn't get hurt.

    Hey, you shut your whore mouth. The defensive line god Marinelli said TJ Watt just could not fit on this defensive line. 

    Of the 32 players taken in the 1st round in 2017, Taco's Weighted Career Approximate Value is only better than three players -- WR John Ross (2, drafted 9th by CIN), OLB Charles Harris (5, drafted 22nd by MIA) and CB Gareon Conley (5, drafted 24th by OAK). Tak McKinley's CarAV is somehow only 6 even though he has 13 lifetime sacks. TJ Watt's is 18, tied for sixth-best among 1st rounders that year (McCaffrey 25, Ramczyk 25, Mahomes 23, Watson 23 and Trubisky 20).

  7. Aggy247 has their Damon replacement - something tells me this won't be a culture fit. Andrew Hattersley:: 

     

    I am thrilled to be joining GigEm247 and working to provide you the coverage you want and deserve on a daily basis.

    First off, a little bit of information about myself on the personal and professional side:

    I was born in South Africa before moving to Milwaukee in 2002 with the rest of my family. I went to both middle school and high school there before attending SMU.

    I love to play and watch golf, although with the way I chip I sometimes wonder why. As far as fandom goes, I follow the Brewers and Packers closely having grown up in Wisconsin.

    Since 2014, I have worked on the SMU site, Pony Stampede, covering football and basketball both on the team and recruiting side. After graduating, I moved to Chicago where I worked at Genesco Sports Enterprises before heading back to school to get my masters in Sports Journalism at DePaul.

    One of the unique things I’ve always enjoyed about the 247Sports experience is being able to talk directly with you and be part of a community. I sincerely look forward to being able to do that with all of you and would love to hear of anything you guys would like to see from the site that I can help with.

    I will be based out of Dallas but will be working in tandem with Brian and Jeff on anything they need as well. I would love to meet some of you in person if you’re up in Dallas, grab a beer and shoot the breeze. 

     

     

    You wouldn’t want to grab a beer with this guy?

    Anyone been to Winner's on 14th in Plano?  Owner (Deandre Jackson) played db at Iowa State, was preseason all Big 12 in '06.  I don't remember him but he was obviously a baller.

    Haven't heard of it. But ribs look to have odd light-colored specks in the rub, sausage looks DAF. Brisket has potential.

    the rumor is that he mouthed off to his coach after/during that game and was suspended, then cussed the coach out again in practice and had a game added to his suspension causing him to quit the team. I thought someone said he was on the sidelines last week though, so maybe he didn't quit, or maybe he came back and apologized and rejoined the team. 

    Weird that there's not even a blurb in the Houston Chronicle or whatever local rag Galena Park may have stating that the #1 running back in the nation hasn't played since Opening Night. Or maybe I'm a poor Googler.
