I feel you, I am a Cowboy fan and I have spent the last week trying to figure out WTF Jerry Jones was thinking.

Let's break it down: The obvious consensus on Dallas was they had to get some offensive and defensive lineman.

Round 1- Travis Frederick C Well at least they did get a lineman with their first pick, too bad Frederick was at best a 3rd round pick.

Round 2-Gavin Escobar TE Great a TE! Oh wait we already have a future Hall of Fame TE on the team. Heck Witten is only 30 years old Nice job Jerry, waste a no. 2 pick on a kid who will sit the bench for the next 5 years.

Round 3- Terrance Williams WR . Great another wide receiver! There is a good chance this kid won't even be good enough to be the #3 guy.

Round 3- J.J Wilcox S This is the first pick that makes any sense to me at all.

Round 4- BW Webb CB So lets see here you trade up last year to draft Mo Claiborne and spend a bunch of cash on Brandon Carr both good grabs. One thing Jerry Jones doesn't seem to understand. It doesn't matter  how good your cover guys are if the opposing QB has 15 seconds to throw the damn ball. DRAFT A DEFENSIVE LINEMAN asshat!

Round 5- Joseph Randle RB - Best pick of the bunch they actually needed another running back.

Round 6-DeVonte Holloman LB Mind you most of the best talent was gone by now but really? Ever heard of Sean Lee? Why do you need to draft another linebacker? What part of needing linemen does Jerry not understand?

Anywho, I needed to rant a little about this. Feels good to get it off my chest. FWIW I am looking for a new team to root for I don't think I can be a Cowboy fan anymore until Jerry Jones is dead in the ground.

As a former lineman who played on both sides of the line, I was very impressed with the quality of the linemen in this draft and that many of them were taken in the top 10. I felt that Star Lotulelei and Chance Warmack will make the teams who picked them look smart in the long run. However, the health and longevity of Lotulelei will be a concern everytime he steps on the field.

Not that I'm making a comparison but he did take the Broncos just as far as Manning did last year...

You really think that was Tebow and not Denvers defense two years ago.  The only reason he was able to win them games was because they kept him in it for 3 qtrs until he decided to show up and actually play football.

I'm not a Tebow hater, in fact I think what he did with Denver was amazing. If I were an executive for an NFL bottom feeder I would give him a chance even if it was just to sell tickets. Back to my point . . . there is no comparison between Tebow and Manning or what they accomplished in the Mile High City. If the Denver defensive backs understood rule #1 of their job on the field the Broncos would had NE the next week for the AFC Championship and likely would have won.

The Broncos were a different team with Manning.  However, they would have lost in New England.

    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
