Is it 20/20 when you call shite out before it happens? You should look up the definition when you have time.

I’m not so much a big Pickens fan, just a tired of retarded trades by Loomis fan…

You’re too desperate to be right about something it’s pathetic when you blame a wide receiver who catches everything thrown into and then shitting on the quarterback that hasn’t even played yet, but let’s make all the declarations as possible

Or I just think it was retarded giving up premium picks for guys pushing 30 when it usually takes a year or two for the game to slow down on a team devoid of talent.

If you going to give up premium picks, at least do it for a talented player like Pickens. Not a receiver 5th on the depth chart.

Or more like third/4th on the depth chart. Not fifth.

It's funny to see people wanting to entertain a head case, "psycho" wide receiver. We had that in Michael Thomas and then we didn't like him very much.

This isn't a sign of that.

He truly believed we were going to be competitive this year and made a "win now" move.

It's more incompetency and arrogance than complacency.

Me too. I tire of special posters who think Loomis picks the players and forces them on the HC. It’s beyond idiotic and tiresome. CKM picked the WR. Loomis finds the price. HC says yes or no.

So Moore is the gm and head of personnel now? He shoujd be worrying more about X’s and O’s rather than wasting his time scanning every teams depth charts looking for players.

I'm saying though he has no one holding him accountable

And when that happens I believe you can become complacent.

But I would agree with you. I think it really is more of a case of arrogance, but that's how a lot of general managers are. A lot of them really believe they are so close.

There’s no point in carrying on this conversation if you don’t think there’s relevance between giving up almost the same draft pick for a teams 5th receiver or a teams number one receiver which Pickens was on the Steelers.

You can quit comparing the Pickens trade, you already got schooled on the differences

I can’t help you.

PS
Of course the Loomis has more power. He just doesn’t use it to force feed a fricking player on a first year HC still evaluating his team. It’s just not done in our current circumstance.

Looking at the stats of both players this year, you should be the one going back to school….

Pickens 36 607 6tds
Vele 4 29 1td

cool.

We have vele for 2 more years.

After that, we'll add the financial cost of each player and the total of the 3 years and do a cost per reception.

Remember, we are a team in financial dire trying to reset the cap and get back to more normal. Getting cheap production is sort of what you want to pay draft capital for. You are being so drama over so many trivial things.

That went out the window with some of the contracts Loomis gave out THIS year. Like we would be competing for something. If he wanted to reset the cap, this year was the year do it.

Sign only vet min guys, let Young, JJ, walk. Don’t sign Cooks. That’s almost 35 million a year in savings right there.

Pickens won't even be on the Cowboys next season. He's going to get paid like Lamb and his agent is the same as Parson's
