Cowboys Weekend Mailbag - Donald, Pryor, Ware, and #JTONTFJTGM
I want to make sure we get back in the habit now with football season over of the end of the week Cowboys mailbag that can cover all things Cowboys, all things draft, or, of course, all things Cowboys' draft.
Many of these questions were a result of the pieces that we put out this week or last regarding the draft weekly notebooks. This week I profiled 6 defensive tackles and now I am currently putting together next week's project that will contain a half-dozen or so safeties who the Cowboys could target for their defense.
Let's get started.

As you can see, based on the point system you can see that the river no longer flows. Below is a brief reminder of the point system:
Here is how it works. Each Franchise gets 1 point for each season it makes the playoffs. Then, if it reaches the Conference Championship Game it gets a total of 3 points. If it makes the Super Bowl it gets 5, and if it wins the Super Bowl it wins the maximum total of points in a given year of 11. It used to be 10 for the Super Bowl, but I have adjusted it because I didnât like the idea that 2 Super Bowl losses equaled a Super Bowl win. So, Now 11 points for a win and 5 for a loss in the Super Bowl.
This is the part of Jerry's legacy he doesn't care to talk about as much. The since 1995 era, which has seen the football world catch up on all that Dallas had accomplished over 30 years. The Cowboys, according to this year's rankings are still tied with Pittsburgh at 108 points (although the Steelers have the tie-breaker of Lombardi Trophies, 6-5), but below look at how the margin has shrunk since the first year I started doing these rankings which was after the 2001 season.
What once was a huge gap is now no gap at all.
Above find the origin of the #JTONTFJTGM hashtag, which of course, will echo the sentiment of the hopeless battle cry, "Jerry the owner needs to fire Jerry the General Manager".
Fat chance.
Have a good weekend and we will start anew next week.
