We got roster problems... We really do.


Paying Dak and keeping these guys around him is just not it.

I know the Jones’s have conviction and are late to react but if we pay Dak and don’t make any moves outside of the draft it’s going to be difficult to come close to winning a championship.

I hate that we’re a month into the season and we basically have already lost all hope going forward.
Isnt it disgusting?

That's why I'm losing my mind. This cant be cleaned up for a while.

Finally to where the pure bonehead decisions made by the two unqualified idiots have got us hamstrung.

Wait until they refuse to admit it....or when the old man starts going Al Davis type senile.

I'm afraid of another 25 years of this at least

Making this a pass first team, and giving the opposing team more possessions in the process is suicide.

The offense must become more balanced.
It’ll allow you more ammo to go get Lawrence. And load up on Def with the huge salary cap relief from Dak and zeke.

That’s why you don’t make 21 the highest paid back in the league, give your top receiver 100 million and then draft a WR number 1. All the while the Defense is a disgrace. This franchise is a joke.
Don’t look into that 100 million much. It’s really a 2 year 40 million dollar deal. Our Allocation to the WR position as a whole is league average. It’s fine everyone except cooper is making rookie deal money.

We just need good coaching and good defensive hustle. if that isn't enough, it's over for us.

Who is going to pay for the most expensive running back in the league?
not only that what would you get in return? Zeke is a good RB, but if we had drafted ramsey instead of Zeke....where would we be. and if jones played hardball, let zeke sit and then come in for the last 10 games...and then let him walk, we would have gotten a 3rd round pick in comp picks in all probability....

RBs are easy to find....yeah zeke maybe special...but RBs are easy to find....you don't need super special RB to be successful

Who says MM is here to stay? We were supposedly in "win now" mode, with Kellen "genius" Moore breathing down his fat neck. He's got the season, but I doubt he's going to survive this mess.

So trade Zeke, and put the trusted Pollard in the backfield full time? He has no idea how to run back a kickoff, so why not give him keys to the offense as well, right? Does anybody remember the days that we are for the most part undefeated when Zeke rushes for 100+ yards? Truth is he is making it very difficult to be trusted this year, but thinking trading him will all of a sudden changes things is crazy

I would trade Dak and Zeke, and Lawrence and get some picks and develop what we have as well. That's just me though. I have no clue about wha do like the Jones Family. They know best.

Not trying to be funny here. Are we even sure dak can put up numbers without Zeke. Defenses still have to respect Zeke. I think it’s a little risky to be honest. I think Zeke is under appreciated.

Only a very stupid team with make that trade. A low end befumbling RB on that contract? Big yikes.

JJ and Stephen have dug themselves in a 20 yr hole. Here’s why:
-They overpaid these dumb players that run after they get paid. They think their job is done. So now we have to wait for their contracts to expire unless we want dead cap money.
- by the time that happens, something else is going to break down. Dak, the WR’s, the (hopefully by then) fixed D-line and secondary. It’s going to take years to strike gold again.

I can’t see this team winning the Superbowl until 2040, when Jerry and maybe Stephen are gone, and the stars align where we finally have good players at all positions.

No one will take on Elliot's contract.
Cooper may be more tradable.
Trade Dak.
Trade Dak???

Uhhh, hello??? Earth calling @Shane612 ... Dak will be a free agent by season's end. There is no way anyone will trade for Dak when all they need to do is wait until he becomes a free agent at the end of this season.

I don’t even think defenses respect Zeke anymore, except bracing for impact when tackling him. They don’t even stack the box trying to stop the running game. Zeke has only faced a stacked box 10% of the time (7 rush attempts) and most of that has been on short yardage situations.
