Dak has wanted a new contract but now the Cowboys have to wait I would think because if there is going to be a coaching change you'll be forcing a qb on that coach if they sign him now. Who knows. Maybe Urban Meyer will shock everyone and head to the league. Where's Herschel Walker when you need him? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Well....they actually might have him in the form of Zeke. I don't know the Cowboys roster that well but to me they appear to need about 5-6 players. Funny how history can repeat itself but maybe a new coach would pull a Jimmy Johnson and trade the franchise RB for major picks and overhaul the whole operation. If one thing is true in today's NFL you don't need an elite RB to win.....plus I believe their backup (Tony Pollard) would do very well in the interim. Of course that's just me being armchair GM.

Bigger issue there was he wanted to tell Marino to hit the bricks but ownership wouldn't let him. Jimmy in my eyes is on Mount Rushmore of post 1980 coaches.

I loved Coach Ditka as much as anyone during that time but looking back at it. He cost us at least 2 more titles with some of his moves on the field.....let alone endorsing every product known to man while telling his players not to do that that caused problems off the field.

That, the tight purse strings of the McCaskeys (and yes, Michael McCaskey carried a purse...think Wilbur Marshall), and McMahon's inability to stay healthy all led to the death of the dynasty before it really started.

My Bear buddy still maintains to this day that Chicago screwed up selecting McMahon. Everybody was aware of the QB talent that was going to be available in '83. They could have waited a year.

DC2345 Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 Colts might as well lose out and get a decent pick to go after a QB that is a difference maker. This team let the season get away because special teams miscues and average QB play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 I hope Andrew Luck is enjoying his retirement because he has ruined this football season for Colts fans. Also the special teams coach needs to be fired because the special teams has been horrible this season. I have no idea what they were trying to do blocking on that block field goal because they just let the guy run free off the right side. The biggest play was the holding call on Nelson when we had a 11 yard run for a first down but was called back on that holding play. Instead of having 1st and 10 inside the 25 we had 1st and 20 and had to settle for the field goal that got blocked. If we could have kept that drive going and get a TD then we might have won the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could read a defense. But somewhere between his machismo and rebel spirit, his body just couldn't take it (along with a dash of that dirty SOB Packer, Charles Martin). He was the right guy I think. Just didn't pan out after 85. Besides, if the Bears had waited til 83 to draft a QB, they undoubtedly would have selected Blackledge or Eason.
