Exactly fucking correct and you might just be seeing it unfold.
Romo talked in his prepared statement about this being a "magic" season because even he knows this is just stumblebum dumbass, wildcatter luck.

Not really, a lot of those teams needed QB's. What was the number drafted before him? 7 or 8?
Hell the Browns drafted eight different players before we took Prescott.
Most of the Cowboy forum world (this one included) didn't like Prescott as a prospect (me included). Most absolutely couldn't understand all the reports of Cowboy people being very interested in him through the whole draft process. Don't act like the Cowboys had no idea who he was and he just fell into their laps. they did a lot of work on the guy. Yes, we got lucky to get him at the end of the 4th, but other teams had the chance to nab him too.

That's exactly what it is, I'm sure. Why do they want to talk to a guy who didn't play a snap? The only reason is to stir up shit. Anything he says could be made into a controversy. That's probably why some media guys got the red ass, because they didn't get quotes from him they could spin into a conflict. So Dickhead Mac decided to do it anyway.
But in fairness, if I were married to that nasty troll he has to call a wife, I'd probably be bitter too.

Thats my take, Romo may be sad, but I don't believe he's pouting unless someone can provide better evidence

Goddammit dbair. If they'd used a second on him and announced they saw something special in Dak no one else did, you'd have a point. But they wanted Lynch, Brissett and even that loser Connor Cook more than him.
Hell, there were reports a week or two into camp some of the coaches thought Showers was doing better than Dak.
It was pure ass luck, plain and simple.

NFC East has been good this yr.
All 4 teams have + point differentials. Its also the only division without a team with a losing record.

Brissett? Where'd you hear that? I hadn't heard that anywhere. Everyone knew they loved Wentz and Lynch and that they tried like crazy to move up for Lynch, and then tried early 4th to get Cook. But I never heard anything about them preferring Brissett.
When we drafted Prescott at the end of the 4th, there were still people crying about what a wasted pick he was.
Unless you have the first pick of the draft, a lot of it IS luck because who you end up with is totally dependent on what other teams do. There's a ton of teams kicking themselves over Prescott right now, so yes we got lucky. But like I said to Dooms, you cant act like they didn't know who he was or just picked him because they threw a dart at a board and his picture was there. They put a lot of time into him, and this was reported all over the place the entire draft process.
As for the Showers stuff, how'd that end up?

DING DING DING!
Fucking dbair, can't address the actual point. It does not fucking matter how many people passed on Dak or how many internet posters didn't like him, WE WERE JUST FUCKING DUMBASS LUCKY HE TURNED OUT TO BE GOOD YOU FUCKING IDJIT.
Bottom line. Just dumbass fucking luck is ALL.

It's kind of weird hearing the TV guys gush about beating Green Bay. Someone tell them that's not really a big deal this year.

In an odd sort of way, wasting the pick on Gregory helped us though. By almost all accounts they were going to pick RB Tevin Coleman if Gregory hadn't been available, and while Coleman has been ok he's been more of a 3rd down back for Atlanta and hasn't been able to win the starting job from a guy they thought he'd easily be ahead of when they drafted Coleman.
If we had drafted Coleman last yr, maybe he would be ok but he isn't Zeke and its almost a sure thing we would have passed on Zeke this yr.

Oh your fucking kidding? Geez I had no fucking idea that a guy (a fucking QB at that) picked at the end of the 4th rd being THIS damn good this soon is nothing short of a miracle. I mean I've only posted that about 500 times so far since preseason started.
You guys are fucking shit for brains sometimes.

Imbecile. You were pettifogging now you act like duuuuuuhh when all you had to do really was just ignore what was posted instead of your stupid assed backhand defending of dumb luck Jerry.
This is all just dumb fucking luck. Stop trying to act like it's the culmination of some grand strategic plan.
