Less than 15 mins into his first rookie practice! I feel so bad for him

What a great draft by Cowboys
Three potential first round picks and two possible top 10 picks if they'd behaved
How good can the Cowboys be if they land a decent RB
Potential nfc champions if the D gets its act togetjer

Champions and then december hits, don't let last years bump in the road of annual mediocrity fool you

ScummyMan · 08-05-2015 10:56pm

That's absolutely desperate luck.

I wonder had he signed his rookie contract yet? First rounders don't usually sign for a few weeks don't they?

Answer my own question. From ESPN:

"Fowler has not yet signed his rookie contract. His deal is expected to be worth about $23 million, fully guaranteed, over four years and contain a fifth-year team option.

Unsigned draft choices participating in minicamp sign an injury protection waiver. If there is an injury, the team will continue to negotiate in good faith as if the player were not injured.

A source confirmed to ESPN that Fowler had signed a waiver."

So at least he'll still get paid.

Paully D · 08-05-2015 11:27pm

Ah ****, that's terrible news regarding Fowler for him and the Jags.

They'd had (on paper) a great draft overall and Fowler looked to be the ideal rusher for Bradley's system, the main piece he was missing. It's a huge year for Bradley of course too. Ugh, just terrible luck.

woooooah easy boy

the cowboys defense is a question mark again its cornerstones are

an end who wont see action untill week 11 and will have had a huge layout at that stage
an athletic but raw cornerback who i think could have issues if leaned on at corner in year 1
an end with psycological issues that got caught in a combine drug test.......when he knew he would be tested.....and if he got caught he would lose millions

not to mention the fact that the defense and offense where heavily supplemented by an offensive run game. but you've lost your rushing leader and replaced him by darren mcfadden. that move alone puts way more pressure on both a broken tony romo and the aforementioned questionable defense.

if these offseason moves work for ye the benefits will be in a few years time a lot of this is the cowboys hype machine starting rolling again after a year off something that should worry you if anything

Realt Dearg Sec · 09-05-2015 1:42am

Jesus the jags just can't catch a break, can they? They finally stop inflicting problems on themselves, and then the gods step in...

Jeez Nerd looks like I touched a nerve
Cowboys must be doing something right
One of the best o-lines in the nfl
An improving defence
Lost to packers on a dodgy call in conference
Beat Seattle in Seattle and no one does that...
We're not perfect but if and as I and you both agree it's a very big IF the defence gets sorted we've as good a chance as any team in the NFC
Though right now I'd take the divisional title and a 10-6 season if it was offered

nope the cowboys just tend to get ahead of themselves there have been a lot of "Super Bowl caliber" cowboys teams that have gone 8-8

yup very good o-line and fair dues you said one of the best in the nfl i have however seen talk of it being by far the best in the nfl and it being an all time great o-line and thats nonsense
An improving defence
is it improving though? your run game helped your defense a lot last year and thats gone now additionally a lot of the players coming in are question marks at best if not already suspended
Lost to packers on a dodgy call in conference
agree
Beat Seattle in Seattle and no one does that...
agree but a massive massive part of that was the run game we dont know if thats there this year

i dont think the cowboys are a bad team by any stretch i just think they as a team and that o-line is being over hyped. also i fear what the giants could potentially do this year (although i think the eagles could be destroyed by injuries so that could end up a wash) so all in all i think nfc championship talk (and i know you said potential and if) is getting carried away to my mind there is as much chance that the cowboys go 8-8 again or worse because they've lost a lot and a lot of players they brought in are "could potentially" players

Getting Collins as an UDFA is the biggest gain from the draft weekend for the Cowboys - getting a first round talent for UDFA money rather than first round money is huge.

That's a real shame. My favourite TE in this class.

Devastated that we've lost Fowler for the season. Being a Jags fan really is horrible

It is utterly awful to see rookie players getting hurt before they even get to play a snap.

Heuerman was expected to be a big part of the Broncos offence this season. Hopefully he and Fowler will make a full recovery and go on to have good NFL careers.

Even worse when you think he has gone from having his first season with Manning throwing to him, to sitting out a season and returning to who knows what next year

This is great, imo. From Reddit.

I''l be reading this on and off during the afternoon, but I did like this:

"The order of my team reviews is determined by the following:
The likelihood of each team’s starting QB to have his teammates attend his birthday party, from most likely to least likely. I’ll start with Tampa and Tenn. because Winston and Mariota’s teammates all want to get to know their new franchise QBs (Mett would be the only no-show)."

He has a few amusing quips throughout, in fairness to him. Its enjoyable.

Yeah I skipped to the Bears and started laughing at this:

Intriguing 7th-round TCU mammoth OL Tayo Fabuluje was a fabulujous pick late.

Says he lost his love for football. You think he would have at least gone through mini camp with Redskins first before declaring his love gone. Sounds like a kid who wouldn't have lasted if that is how easy he was willing to give up on it.

helimachoptor · 16-05-2015 7:24pm

Same as jake locker.. wonder whats in the watercooler :eek:

JaMarcusHustle · 16-05-2015 8:09pm

Apparently he didn't even tell them he wasn't showing up for rookie mini camp, he just didn't show up. No notice, no text, nothing. There's long been rumours that Halliday has a serious attitude problem and that, to put it mildly, he thinks very highly of himself so this wouldn't be too hard to believe.

SeminolesSkins · 06-06-2015 4:12pm

I thought it would be funny to take a look at next years draft. Here are some of my thoughts on the QBs and Receivers. I've also ranked them!

QBs
Overall look: This is one of the baddest QB classes the draft have had in the last years.

1. Connor Cook, Senior, Michigan State
This year: 58 %, 3216 yards, 24 TDs, 8 INTs
Amazing comeback victory in the Cotton Bowl, shows leadership. Pocket passer. They're running a Pro-style offense in Michigan which is good for him.

2. Cody Kessler, Senior, USC
This year: 70 %, 3826 yards, 39 TDs, 5 INTs
Running the same type of offense as Michigan State and Cook. USC lost 4 games this year which is unusal for them. Lack of leadership? Amazing eyes, reads the feild properly. Decent arm and a great decisionmaker. The most underrated QB in next years draft.

3. Cardale Jones, Ohio State
This year: Started 3 games, 60 %, 860 yards, 7 TDs, 2 INTs
Not even sure if this guy is the starter for Ohio State next year, but still - I believe in him. He has a great playmaking-ability and a big heart. But will it work on the next level? Ohio State is also running a spread offense which is very different from a pro style offense.

4. Jared Goff, Junior, California
This year: 62 %, 3973 yards, 35 TDs, 7 INTs
This year was pretty much Goff's breaktrough. He started as a freshaman and did pretty well. In this season he could not even lead his team to a bowl game, which should be a must for the Cal Golden Bears. I have not watched a single game by him, so I cant really say what he's strengths is. But i have read a lot of nice words abut him as a pocket passer, which fits the NFL great. All these scrambling QBs usually have a difficult time adapt to the NFL.

WRs
Overall look: Both the QBs and WRs are not as good as the earlier draft classes in these later years. But still, there is some talent here. ( I don't know so much about the receivers, so there will be shorter comments on these guys)

1. Tyler Boyd, Junior, Pittsburgh
This year: 78 recs, 1,126 yards, 8 TDs
This is a tough receiver to cover. He's fast, he's big and he's talented. He runs great routes and it seems like he always get seperation in man coverage. Tracks the ball well in the air.

2. "Duke" Williams, Senior, Auburn
This year: 45 recs, 730 yards, 5 TDs
Big 3rd down target. He can run, he's fast and he's one of the best at tracking the ball and catching it. He played at a community college in Mississippi before transferring to Auburn in 2014.

3. Laquan Treadwell, Junior, Ole Miss
This year: 48 recs, 632 yards, 5 TDs
Got a knee injury this season, still managed to show of his skills. He's extremly fast and he is amazingly good when it comes down to get seperation from the DB.

So, what do you think? Agree? Disagree?

Sorry for my bad english, it's not my mother tounge..

I wish, but we've lost at least 4 games in 5 of the last 6 years

SeminolesSkins · 06-06-2015 4:32pm

Yes, you're right. But I was referring to your history, as maybe the greates college football program ever.

SeminolesSkins · 06-06-2015 4:33pm

Yes, you're right. But I was referring to your history, as maybe the greatest college football program ever. I think it is either Notre Dame or USC.

Eidt: Sorry, I only meant to edit the first post, not post the same thing twice...

Paully D · 13-06-2015 11:05pm

Since we don't have a 2016 draft thread yet - Tyler Boyd arrested and charged for a DUI last night. Many peoples #1 WR for 2016.
