Chiefs Are the Cowboys simply trolling the Non-True-Fan Chiefs Fans? - Page 4

Pitt Gorilla · 12-09-2016, 11:52 PM

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.

I have a feeling that certain fans are frothing for a KC/DAL super bowl, and that KC's defense will be all that is required to keep Dallas in check and win the game.

And then I laugh.

I always have lots of things to do so sometimes I just read stuff and don't post much.

I was agreeing with you. As if there was anyone that was going to do it, it would have been Ben. His team was what 15-1 that year and looked like surefire SuperBowl team... but mr. Brady had something to say about it. He did go in his #2 year. But if there is\was ever a Rookie qb would have done it. That was the team to do it, and he couldn't. I don't think Dak will get the Cowboys this year, either. Their pass defense is just too flawed. Much like KC's, they give up a ton of yards but don't allow a lot of points. In the end, I don't think they'll be able to sustain in the playoffs against the other elites of the NFC. As much as Dak is a great story, he won't make the SB this season.

Yep, and the way to catch that lightning in a bottle is to keep trying.

Then why did you throw out that weird, "The Chiefs need to go True Fan way early" bullshit earlier in this thread?

Fulton isn't a starter and LDT has been merely "okay". Imagine a Mitch Morse type guy at RG?

Domination

LDT has been more than just okay. I'd actually call him a good RG at this point.

And you were just talking to Dane about how you think Ehinger also looks like a pretty good longterm starter at LG. Fulton ain't gonna start there next year if the Chiefs can help it.

So where's this magic upgrade you want? Is it LDT?

We couldn't run on a shitty Falcons defense and we couldn't run on a depleted Raiders DL even with Jah Reid in the game.

Sure getting Ehinger back will help a lot, but what if he gets hurt again? I want competition for LDT too.

I'm not saying to use a 1st rd pick there, and it would have to be a really good Morse type of player if it's round 2.
I'm thinking a 3rd rd G sounds reasonable.

But if it's a 1st or 2nd rd OL I really won't complain as long as he's good. Raiders and Cowboys have clobbered good DL's most of the year and made their QB's look so much better than they are.

**Easy 6** · 12-10-2016, 01:39 PM

As it currently stands, this O line is definitely too finesse... Wares longest run thursday was 8 yards

Thats obviously not good enough, and the majority of blame surely rests with the line

So you'd agree that staying the course and only ever using mid-round picks on our OL is the right way to go, right? That's the strategy I've been all about since the year of the McGlynn.

That's a far cry from blowing our wads on interior line like you suggested.

Rookie QBs don't go to the Super Bowl. It doesn't happen. It never has.

Shit, right. Second year.

It's just a re-execution of the Patriots plan. Dak is making them look like geniouses just like Brady has.

Seems about right. It works once every fifteen years or so.

Prescott is pure luck seeing as they tried to draft a couple of other guys instead of him and didn't get them.

How does a team try to draft a guy and fail?
