Yes he is a bad player. I agree with you. He's what you call a survivor.. not a playmaker (3 career interceptions in almost 6 years???). I can get plenty of slot corners that can accomplish what he has. He is NOT playing up to his contract. He plays like a minimum wage player most of the time.

I have LONG felt that Dallas EXPECTS guys to perform at a certain level based on how much they are paying them. I guess there is NOTHING wrong with that...but it becomes a problem when you are slow to try something else when a high paid performer is not performing. When we got Roy Williams, he was out of shape, had a hurt foot...and did not know the offense. As OBVIOUS as it was to everyone that he was not HELPING the team...we did not see the team try anything else until Roy got hurt. And we all know Miles came in and the rest is history. You see, once Jerry makes up his mind...and the money/draft picks were spent...he was going MAKE the investment worth it...even when it was obvious a HUGE mistake had been made. I mean Jerry honestly looked at Roy as Owens eventual replacement. That is how BAD we missed on him.

Heck, earlier this year....when it was CLEAR Felix was not helping us...and was indeed in fact HURTING us....we kept trotting him out there? Why...because gosh darnit he was a 1st round pick...and we are not getting 1st round production out of him...but come he** or high water...we are going to get our value out of him...or die trying.

What core is Jerry referring too? The one he has already locked up for the next 6 years? Ware, Whitten, Ratliff and whoever else he has paid to stick around that some may not be worth their contract.

Free, Connor, Livings and Beradeu in the top 14 highest players on the team is a joke. The fact that he is paying Orton a ton when it could have been spent more wisely is bad management. Super bowl contender, sure good backup necessary. .500 team needs to develop more players.

The above are 5 players that are near the top in salary and don't produce like it.

Or because the players behind him were worst than Felix.

Just a thought.

I think Stephen is starting to think "if we are going to suck, we can suck with rookies instead of high priced vets".


If this team fails to make the playoffs (almost a certainty at this point), look for alot of vets to get their walking papers.

If serious changes are not made this offseason fans should hold this organization responsible with their dollars. I for one will be. This is are only true power and the best way to get JJ to pay attention.

Taking a knee in the endzone would be BETTER than Felix. So how could anyone behind Felix be worse?

Do they make clown suites big enough to fit Jerry and Stephan Jones gargantuan egos?
