Re: Reeves and Dallas contract negotiations having issues?
 

Back to Reeves, so apparently Jones put in an "hours clause" into his deal specifying how many hours per week Reeves would work?! I can see why a true professional like Reeves would be insulted by something like that. I mean the guy was already working before he even had a deal in place, going over the offense with Garrett and what not.

Re: Reeves and Dallas contract negotiations having issues?
 

Yeah JJ supposedly wanted Reeves to do all this work but wouldn't really put him in charge of anything. Reeves whole thing was "If I'm going to do all this, I better have some say"

Ultimately it's just another shot at Wade really, because I think he's the one that wanted Reeves in the first place

What is happening in Dallas and what is on this thread is making realize how similar the Redskins and the Cowboys are because of their owners.

[quote=Mattyk72;525404]I definitely don't agree, I would instead argue that he helped guide the franchise through it's darkest hour. That playoff run was vintage Gibbs, and his leadership and guidance through the Taylor tragedy was unmistakable.[/quote]

I agree wholeheartedly. Gibbs was a guiding light during our darkest hour. What this team accomplished during this time was nothing short of remarkable. As far as Reeves goes, isn't this just typical JJ behavior? The man is a control freak and an egomaniac. I'm so happy he bought the Cowgirls instead of some other team. GMScud often uses the word circus to describe this team. That is the best description I have heard and JJ is the ringleader.

[quote=BigHairedAristocrat;525138]Gibbs back again? I think not. Gibbs "win-now with overpriced veteran players" philosophy put this franchise back years. He abandoned this team in its darkest hour. Hes ridiculously old. No thanks.[/quote]

Gibbs just made the inevitable come a year earlier, that's it. He guided the team under its darkest hour, which was when Taylor died.l

I think Dallas is in a worst situation, especially since the sports pundits are always expecting so many great things out of them.

Oh yeah absolutely, no question. Because you know, Snyder is the team president and GM of the Redskins, his son ( a chemical engineer) is the EVP and Director of Player Personnel, his other son is in charge of the business operations, his daughter is another executive with the Redskins. Snyder forced Zorn to fire coordinators on his staff and bring in guys he wanted (Scott Watchamacallit, the new TE coach, that was alllll Snyder)...

2001 called, they want their overused, inaccurate generalizations about Snyder and Jones back

Watch out Smooty, this guy is a loyal fan and will get upset if you question his loyalty. LOL. :smashfrea

I'm thinking of using your last line as a sig. :silly:

Beautiful! Time to move on.

If anything, I think you & Matty are even underestimating Gibbs' success here in his 2nd stint. He took over a team that barely had a pulse on the field. He got the team back to the playoffs more than anyone had since he left in 93, and he arguably laid the foundation for the future, especially if JC is signed for a long term deal. IMO, even if JC isn't signed & moves on (which would suck), Gibbs drafted a guy that will be a starting nfl qb for years. As Peter King said, Joe Gibbs taught Snyder how to be more patient.

I was thinking the same thing.
