Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones Had "50 Concussions" In College

who picked those players. it's the same with reid. people wanna blame the palyers but don't acknowledge the mistake of picking those players to begin with.

also ... my bullcrap meter is going off here. 50 concussions ?

 

yes, i thought of that too but maybe it's possible since he played all the way through college ball. i didn't play football in college or even high school and i know i had several concussions in youth sports/skateboarding/falling out of trees/etc.

i think people get concussed in the technical form more than we think. my 12-year old son has been concussed so many times with sports and just being an active kid that our doctor is skeptical whether he should even play sports anymore. at this point, we're just keeping a very close eye on the situation and may pull the plug on the contact sports at any moment (probably with the next concussion).

 

laugh all you want but you can't show/prove he isn't.

 

I agree but the players have lots and lots of talent. Most of those players were good before they came to Dallas. The downfall is thinking areas are "good enough" (secondary, O.line) and possibly sticking with players too long (Kosier, Newman)

 

Look at the las t three drafts he's done nothing .....JJ is an awesome owner promoting and advertising the team nut he's no football GM when it comes to evaluating talent.

 

Thank you. That's exactly what I am saying. He is a great promoter but needs to stay away from the GM position and trying to call plays.

Droid x. 49ers

 

That's hardly a list to be proud of only six starting players out of three drafts.

 

Ignorance is a bad look Dude.
