  1. I'm talking about guys like Scandrick, Byron Jones, Anthony Brown,  Bruce Carter, Tyrone Crawford, Kyle Wilbur, Damien Wilson, Hanna, WIlcox, Swaim, Hitchens, Mark Nzeocha, Mo. Claiborne...all of these guys were considered steals and looked like they were going to be building block players. They were raved about. The peaked in their first or second year and then regressed. It's really fn' weird. It's not like they were just shitty from the beginning. They showed some real talent, then somehow forgot it.

    Going back to the 2011 draft, remember how Bill Nagy and David Arkin looked like great picks with a bright future? They shit the bed and were gone in two seasons.

    Maliek Collins took a step back last year. How about Dak Prescott?

    Sure, Irving has been a find. But he's missed about half the games since he's been around for one thing or another. For everyDavid Irving there's a handful of guys like Cedric Thornton and Stephen Pea, Butler, etc...

    When entering my country of residence on a website having to scroll all the way down to U to get to United States. Put the USA at the top and then go by alphabetical order if you want. 

     

    Same thing with state of residence as a Texan. And sometimes you can type a letter in the box and it takes you to Tennessee, but still won't scroll down to Texas, so you still have to click the bar and scroll it down another notch.

  3. There's something about the Cowboys, maybe it's coaching, but the lack of development seems far too frequent. We see a number of players in and out that show some real promise in their rookie season, but never take another step, even regress. It has become far too common.

  4. Fartsmellus did nothing but miss blocks and drop balls in Dallas. He apparently just didn't take to their coaching or chemistry or something, which may be bad on Dallas as well. But they sure as hell gave him ample opportunities. He just massively screwed the pooch with them.

  5. They wanted him to step up and replace Williams, but he couldn't cut it. They see him in practice every day. They tried to coach him up. They found out why he toiled with the Raiders for three years, who also needed receivers but couldn't develop him.  But he can't do the things Williams can do all over the field, away from the ball, despite his limitations. He's a one trick pony and it wasn't going to get any better. They absolutely tried to get him there, but it wasn't happening.

    "Butler is another big receiver for the Cardinals to try and mold into a breakout player."
     
    Good luck. There really aren't that many 28 year old breakout players in the NFL.

    Butler seemed to do good when Dez was not playing. He didn't get a fair shot here. I'll take him any day over TWill.

    He got a fair shot. They really tried to get him more snaps and catches, but he doesn't have good hands and brings nothing else to the table but some deep speed. He made a couple of nice plays, but he never could develop as a complete receiver.

    Yeah that was a rare funny moment.  The Dinesh/Gifloyle stuff will always be funny

    I don't share that opinion. It seems like it's getting more and more unfunny, more dumbed down, less interesting. They need to stretch out into new areas of potential quirky comedic territory.

    Yes. That is exactly why ESPN used to be great. They would broadcast random ass sports and people would watch 

    Like the old ABC Wide World Of Sports. They should bring it back. It never should have ended.
