Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Agreed. From what I've heard Winston has a good football IQ as well. Mariota managed to grasp a gimmick offense and look good in it.

Like most things in this parity-fueled league, it's pretty much just as likely for the Cowboys to go back to being mediocre as they are to continue their success. An improved defense will help toward the latter though, that's for sure.

I've been listening to podcasts with scouts and they all seem to think that Winston is the real deal. The only people Bucky Brooks ranks above him in recent years were Andrew Luck and Cam Newton. Bucky said that he'd talked to somebody that runs an elite high school football camp where they take high school kids and throw them into a pro offense and they said Winston had mastered it in 2 days which no one had ever done before.

WR Nate Washington signed a one-year deal for $1 million, including $30,000 guaranteed with the Texans.
I approve this move.

They need it for Hardy/McClain and draft contracts. Some people are speculating it's to make room for AP but I doubt it unless he restructures his contract.

They both suck. Winston had a lot of issues early on in games and managed to make come backs via adjustments and tired defenses. That won't happen in the NFL. I expect both of them to be quick busts in the NFL.

It isn't really a restructure. The Cowboys just exercised a clause in his contract to convert base salary to signing bonus.
The reason moontayle didn't want it exercised is it is just pushing the ball down the road and making it larger in the process. They will eventually have to deal with the massive cap hits from Romo's contract. Of course, he will probably be retired when that happens and the Cowboys will not have a qb so it won't matter. I don't have a problem with it. They really only have a 2 or 3 year window. As long as they use the money wisely (i.e., not on splurging on a RB), I'm good with the team being dismantled when Romo retires.

His hit would have been high this year, something like $27m, but after this year it would have been much more reasonable, closer to his actual pay. Now it basically tacks on $3m to each of the next 4 years.
It also adds dead money on the back end if (when) they decide to parts ways before the contract is up. If they had let the $27m hit stay this year, his last two years would have had no dead money basically.

Yea, sounds like they're setting up to shit the bed for a year when romo's gone. It's a reasonable decision.
