Are the Cowboys simply trolling the Non-True-Fan Chiefs Fans?
The Dallas Cowboys have spent the past five years putting together a dominant offensive line (Tyron Smith, Travis Frederick, and Zack Martin are all Pro-Bowl first rounders, and they took a chance on La'el Collins). This year, they took a running back in the first round to round out their running game. Looking for a long-term replacement for their undrafted FA starting QB, they took a QB in round 4, who has now led their team to an 11-1 record.
In other words, they've executed the True Fan playbook (draft fatties early and QBs late) to perfection and are now succeeding due to it. |

The more likely explanation, and especially due a franchise like Dallas( being run by a complete ****tard as it has been for decades now ), is that they have once again managed to step in to a magical shit-pile.

Kansas City does not have a QB with which to build an offense around, so building up the defense for a long-term benefit while simultaneously helping to cover the deficiencies of "he who just wins"( )is the smart man's move by Dorsey. |

DJ, Hali, Dorsey, Jackson, Berry, Poe, Ford, Peters and Jones were all first picks of the Chiefs since 2005. Hell, we could go back further and the philosophy remains the same. Your comment is pure shit and completely false. |

Well apparently they are because it pisses me off that the did it and we haven't
**** you Cowboys. But we did draft Eric Fisher and our line is improving so we shouldn't have any excuse not to draft and play a quarterback otf. He doesn't have to sit out a year just needs reps in practice and play when he gets the playbook down. |

TruFan here.
I like drafting big fatties in every draft. If it were up to me I'd take one in the first three rounds of every draft. Obviously I would prefer spending late seconds and late thirds but on occasion you need to use a first rounder. In many ways Dorsey has done this with Fisher, Morse, and our new LG. The fact of the matter is that oline accounts for a high precentage of a teams roster and spending FA money on linemen is generally a poor investment. I like that we added Schwartz at RT we really needed it, but face it a team is never finished investing in their oline. Think about it, would Gould you rather give Frenchy a big contract when he is up or invest another thirds rounder in the position. Now if LDT can be signed to a team friendly deal then great, but otherwise let someone else pay him and I'll take the comp pick. |

the game is won in the trenches. Ray Lewis himself just said the trenches account for 80% of the game.
And he's right. Morons who disagree with this don't look at history

Since 1994 (22 years) the Chiefs have only drafted a QB higher than Round 5 once.
What you fail to realize is that KC is doing what they should be at OL by responsibly filling in gaps with mid-round picks. But they're still leaving out that one very important part of the Cowboys blueprint that makes it sing instead of flounder. |

And most people are down with how it's going. The reason why this fatty thing has a stigma is because people were pounding the table for David DeCastro and Cameron Irving in drafts when we NEEDED to start taking shots at real QB prospects. ****ing INTERIOR linemen. With middle 1st round picks. THAT shit is disgusting, and if you still think that garbage is a good idea, then yes, I will ceaselessly mock you as a true fan. I will do so to every true fan out there. The Cowboys blowing a 1st round pick on an interior lineman isn't the reason why their line is good. Other than that, they're doing nothing differently than we are. First round LT Second round C (twice for us, even!) FA RT |

Those dudes they picked high were almost no risk honestly. Smith, Frederick and Martin were all pretty much slam dunks. When you have years of bad picks sometimes you decide hey lets take someone who can actually contribute. Even Elliot was pretty much a slam dunk there was nothing hard about what they did, they just got lucky their rookie QB is good when in reality he was about their 5th choice for the position.
And on top of that they have a couple of good players like Collins and Bryant because they were willing to take a risk on the dudes. |
