By Randy Galloway

When it's the Dallas Cowboys, turmoil and disagreement will be a combo I warmly embrace. Not only is it good for my kind of business, but (sound the philosophical alert) life is best when it's about the debate.

Football is life. Football is about the debate.

Continuing along with some of my other deep thoughts, the Cowboys screwed up on Patrick Crayton. Jerry Jones is flat wrong.

And anyone who agreed with Jerry's dumping of Patrick Crayton is bleeping stupid.

I love a civilized philosophical football debate.

Roster cutting time at Valley Ranch came this weekend, and the Cowboys trimmed to a still-fluid 53-man squad, with the most important element being the 45 who will suit up on Sundays.

The ongoing issue with Crayton was finally resolved Friday. He got ousted, but in a very beneficial kind of way, since he goes to San Diego, a good team, with a good quarterback and a good head coach who has an offensive flair.

Removing Crayton, however, from Valley Ranch was a move that makes absolutely no sense, at least based on the goal of still playing football in February, and in Arlington.

Admittedly, however, the situation at wide receiver, and the dismissal of Crayton, is not the No. 1 concern with this team. For now, and probably for the course of the season, the unsettled state of the offensive line puts the entire offense in a state of flux.

But if the O-line will allow plays to be made on a consistent basis, then that brings us back to who makes those plays.

Based on private opinions from Valley Ranch, there seems to be a mixed bag on the reasons for the departure of Crayton, but I don't hear anyone giving the key answer of "it makes us better." Not even Jerry can say this move makes his team better.

And if it doesn't make you better, then why do it? Was it the money? That's actually scary to think Mr. Jones put that much importance on a $2 million salary.

Crayton's agent indicated Friday there was a personality dispute with Wade Phillips, but Wade will like any player Jerry tells him to like. And since when did Wade have any offensive-side-of-the-ball influence?

During a radio show rant about the Crayton trade, I got a message from Mr. Babe of local TV fame. The message said I was missing the point on Crayton. Several attempts to reach Babe failed on Friday and Saturday. So I don't know the point he thinks I missed.

On Friday night, I heard Mr. Dale of local TV fame comment on the local uproar of the Crayton dumping, then he added, "but the Cowboys going to the Super Bowl will not depend on whether Crayton is here or not."

Hold it, Mr. Dale. Success does depend on who is dependable. And who Tony Romo sits to pee thinks is dependable.

Crayton is gone for one reason. Roy Williams.

It's not because Dez Bryant was drafted. Dez has nothing to do with it.

Roy Williams is the mistake who keeps on costing. The cost is $13 million for this season. Jerry won't admit the blunder.

And then there were also those who shrugged off the loss of Crayton with "he's only the No. 4 receiver."

I believe Mr. Galloway is speaking directly to a number of puke fans who visit the ATN.

Guess Mr. Galloway didn't get Ken's memo that it was the genius Jerry Jones that orchestrated those moves and picks that won them 3 super bowls. Yeah, he's also responsible for bringing aboard Austin, Romo sits to pee, Ware, Spencer, and many others. That trade for Roy Williams wasn't Jerry Jones doing, that was totally the janitors fault for that. See, the deal was originally for Larry Fitzgerald, but the janitor came in the night of trade and accidentally penciled Roy's name instead. Let's not even talk about Chan Gailey and Dave Campo. Also not Jerry's fault, that solely belongs to some guy who was doing a tour the same day of the interviews and got lost and ended up interviewing and hiring Gailey and Campo. How crazy is it that it happened twice??

Quincy Carter. This was only partially Jerry's fault. You see, he lost a bet with a rodeo clown( who also is a skins fan), so the loser had to pick up Quincy Carter on his team and start him at QB. The problem here is that Jerry didn't realize the bet covered fantasy football, not real NFL teams. A legit excuse.

All in all, Jerry is a misunderstood guy. He's a genius. I mean, who else in the world could step out of one industry and make deals of a lifetime without any experience. Who else could pick talent to win super bowls without ever being a coach/talent evaluator? Jerry can, that's who. Well, according to idiotic cowboy fans that is. ;)

So I'm getting that ol' Randy is just a tad upset with this move. :silly:

It's understandable, actually. A lot of Cowboys fans feel this is the "Al Davis" side of Jerruh rearing its ugly head. I tend to agree with that notion. But, then again, we are talking about a journeyman #3 receiver with no real further upside.

I can't remember an offseason where so much fuss has been made about Cowboys backup players!!

That would mean Landry would actually have to tackle him and wrap him up. Which is not something Landry is great with ;)

Ask Desean Jackson and his ribs how he felt after getting introduced to LaRon. ;)

He went went to a team with a good Head Coach????? Simply amazing after all these years of underachieving Turner still has the media on his side.

I agree, for some reason, he still has the media on his side. That being said, he still is a very good offensive coach, but not a very good HC.

Wow. This post was completely necessary and over the top for a 4th wr, no?

Who would have thought Patrick Crayton could illicit such venom from opposing fans....lol.

MR. Galloway has been right about so much over the years. Maybe I should be listening to him more.....

Yeah, lets keep a guy who think he should start and play him as the 4th wr. Not to mention lets pay him 2 million dollars and let him sulk all year. Let's pass on actually getting something for him and lets see how much he can disrupt our locker room ala Fat Albert....yeah, that's the ticket!

No thats just Randy being Randy and criticizing the Cowboys no matter what.

It was Randy Gallowaste that wanted to cut Patrick Crayton BEFORE LAST season. The article was even posted on this board by tr1.

Plus, there are a collection of Eldorado parrots in that locker room — I mean you, Patrick Crayton, among others — and they also should be eliminated.

Anyone who takes Randy Galloway or Dale Hanson seriously is a moron. These goons have made a career out of being Texas shock-jocks. I'll never forget when Hanson sat around for years railing on and on about Jerry Jones not hiring a real coach, but put up a huge mock piece upon Parcells' retirement. What a joke!

For some reason? Three years in San Diego: three trips to the post season, three division titles, and a 32-16 record probably has something to do with it.

Like it or not the NFL is a "win cures everything" league. There is only one superbowl champion per year but there isn't only one good team. The Chargers have won a lot more than they lost and have looked good doing it. That alone is going to make their head coach well received in the media.

1) Landry will play closer to the LOS at SS his more natural position, so he won't be asked to cover WR's as much as in the past.

2) Crayton leaving is actually good for us. Roy Williams has never had a good game against the Skins, Miles didn't have spectacular games against us last year and we don't know what the rookie has seeing he'll be 4 weeks behind everyone else. I always felt Crayton was the more dangerous of WR's in the past against the Redskins.

I agree. Why isn't this same logic applied to Wade and the Cowboys???;)

Tr1 and Gallowaste = Perfect together!

First, I am not defending TR, because he can speak for himself.

But, as has been said in the past, and applies in this case, the OP is just posting the article. The OP didn't write the article.

That you reference a puke media person as "Gallowaste" clearly stats your disdain for the writer. Feel free to present your beliefs and counter whatever the author is presenting. But, to associate the OP with the article is not accurate. Or, in words that you can understand, stop blaming the messenger.

Reference the article, I always thought Crayton was a good compliment WR. A good number 3 WR that can beat number 3 CB's and some number 2 CB's.
