Cowboys blew their best window to win with Sensational Rookies

[TheMarathonContinues]

Besides Brady and the Pats, who’s winning championships after paying their QB?

Cowboys will.....Russell will too. At some point thus myth is about to be put to rest everyone will be paid in a few years.

If they pay mediocre Dakota 37 Mil, it wont make a difference who they draft.

Yes, it will. You're just being hard-headed stubborn.

I’m not bashing Dak, I’m bashing the NFL Salary Cap which has hard evidence the chances lessen winning a championship once you pay your QB.

Why isnt this mega contract signed, sealed and delivered? Is the FO hard headed and stubborn?

Cowboys will.....Russell will too. At some point thus myth is about to be put to rest everyone will be paid in a few years.

But there’s no hard evidence to support such belief.

And why it appears to be more of an emotional attachment or faith based than what’s ultimately best for Cowboys Football.

That argument doesn’t hold up .

Other teams had great coaching and QB’s and their chances decreased after paying their QB including our new HC and his HOF QB.

Well at least we have a coach who can teach the proper holding technique without getting called . There is that

I think that all our players should just be from Texas so we can support our in-state colleges. Selecting players from other states doesn't support our local colleges

Yep

The same HC who couldn’t win a championship after paying his QB.

What are you and others going to go with once he’s signed?

nevermind don’t answer that

It’s a tough argument to combat perhaps we’ll break the trend because Dak is going to get paid

Continue to support the team because the last time I checked, we are allowed to have an actual opinion on some of the players while supporting the star. The two things aren't diametrically opposed. Its their business as to how much they pay for Dakota, but being part of a fan base allows us to critique that decision.

Personally I believe the Zeke suspension and holdout created distractions that a mentally weak team could not overcome.

Most will lay that failure at the feet of Garrett.

Those were circumstances were beyond but it IS his job to keep his team focused.

McCarthy is taking the job with a major distraction ensuing.

We'll see if he handles things different and/or better than the boy genius.

I agree he’s going to get paid.

That’s not the argument I’m presenting which is it lessens our chances of winning a championship. Which we blew our best window.

That’s not on Dak. It’s just a fact based on NFL history in Cap era after paying your QB.

 

[Diehardblues]

If McCarthy couldn’t win a championship after paying Rodgers why do we expect him to win one here after paying Prescott?

Perhaps this would be a better question for another thread .

 

[Diehardblues]

Tony Pollard proved how it was a mistake not accepting the 5th year rookie option on Zeke. Then paying Zeke $15 million per year was crazy. That was mistake #1.

Paying D-Law as the highest paid 4-3 DE in the league was mistake #2.

You always pay your franchise QB. Happened that way with Troy and Romo. No different here with Dak. You have to pay him since he's your franchise QB who has proven himself.

Yes, teams pay their franchise QB and then don’t win anymore championships with rare exceptions.

So, is paying them simply about rewarding them since it doesn’t present the best opportunity to win a championship once we pay them.

Perhaps with a couple decades of evidence in Cap era after paying franchise QB’s we need to re-evaluate the effects and take a step back assessing what provides teams the best opportunity to win a championship.

 

[Cattle_Rancher]

Several reasons why they weren’t able to take advantage of stars on rookie deals.

Jerry it all starts with him and all the other reasons I’ll list the fingers point at him too.

JG should of never been the HC and was held onto way to long

Old contracts still on books. While they had EE and Dak cheap they were still paying Romo and Dez for at least part of the time. Dez was poor talent evaluation should of traded or let him walk. Romo they should of taken the hit all in one year cleaned the books so they could of gone after more free agents to surround the rookies with better talent.

Perhaps this would be a better question for another thread .

Technically that's not correct. They gave him an extension in 2008 for 6 years 63mil and then they won the SB in 2011. Very close to the Romo deal from 2007.

 

[Diehardblues]

Ive argued that these Elite QB’s provide teams the greatest opportunity to win but the rebuttal is theres hard evidence that once you pay your franchise QB it’s more difficult to win a championship .

And if winning a championship is ultimate goal then I believe it’s a reasonable and logical conclusion that once you pay your QB the opportunity to win a championship drastically reduces.

 

[HungryLion]

There’s some flawed logic in this post.

The Salary Cap has nothing to do with this. Teams that have handed out these ridiculous contracts to one position are the ones responsible for this mess.
