Not the Time for Patience

Jerry Jones is an impatient guy. He wants his Dallas Cowboys to win and win big. He’s shown that he’s not afraid to go get a player if he thinks it will help the team. That’s why I find it puzzling that Jerry is not going after disgruntled Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin. Especially considering that his current receiver corps is a M.A.S.H. unit going into Cleveland this week, down to just two healthy bodies: Terrell Owens and Patrick Crayton. Boldin has made it clear to Cardinals management that he does not want to be there. They want a first round pick for him. Jerry is thinking Super Bowl. It’s a perfect match, yet Jerry won’t pull the trigger because he doesn’t want to do anything foolish. I say go get Boldin, he is a top 15 receiver. This Dallas team is on the precipice of possibly doing something special. Boldin will help them make that pick be very low first round so I say it is worth the risk. The team needs third and fourth receivers Sam Hurd and Miles Austin to make the offense go but they are unavailable for the first few weeks. Boldin is a good fit. Forget that he doesn’t know the offense. He’s a receiver. All he has to do is run and catch, it’s not that big a deal. Tony Romo will find a way to get it to him. I’m shocked at Jerry’s patience with his team favored to reach the Super Bowl from the NFC. Usually it would be a good thing but with the team so beat up at receiver he needs to make it happen. The Cowboys are one injury away from a total disaster at wide receiver. Not the way to start a season Jerry. Just do it!
