We have spent so much money on runningbacks and WR's and now our foundation is falling apart and the Dak bill is due.
I just don't see how we are going to overcome Dak's contract and somehow quickly improve this team. It's going to take years.
Jaylon Smith? Terrible contract
Lawrence? Terrible contract
LVE? Not reliable
Once Dak is signed the only way to improve this team is with rookies and we've been basically doing that since he has got here and we have nothing to show for it.
I wish Dallas wasn't so in love with their QB. I wish they would look to the draft and save themselves from locking us down into mediocrity.
We've lost almost all hope for doing anything this season and the Cowboys only redeeming quality is that our division is so bad.
McCarthy looks like the fraud I said he was. I still have hope but I hated this hire.
It's just bad and we desperately need to add a transcendent player or coach to this staff to even give us a chance to overcome all of this.
Dak, like Romo, just can't overcome all of our problems and paying them all that money just makes them insanely rich and the Cowboys insanely average.
Someone please give me a shred of optimism for this teams future....
you just said it. right there. ....its not about Dak's contract. that's just an excuse by Dak detractors....he is being paid what 31M this season? more than if he would have signed a contract, but we have large contracts handed out, so it hasn't stopped the team for signing and handing out big contract.s
the problem is every and I mean every investment on the defensive side has turned out to be bad or at best slightly below average. those investments include draft picks as well.
we paid Lawrence 20M average contract...so there was money. ROI? 0.5 sack in 12 games. zero QB hits in the first four games of 2020
Jaylon, got a 64M contract. so there was money, there is money...yet he is ranked 55th in the NFL....
LVE...AWOL
Chido....AWOL and been average other wise.
Hill....yeah, nice rotation guy, if he is our best DT, then that should tell you enough
Gregory....probably smoking somewhere
Taco?...oh, he has 2 sacks in KC somehow
so we have wasted, wasted wasted all our investments on the defensive side. imagine if we had players that lived up to their lofty draft status and contracts....
and thus we all want to look for an out, look for an excuse, somewhere to point fingers...someone to point fingers and blame and QB is the easiest place to start...
there are 6 guys who are supposed to be foundations of the defense and they all suck....lets start there
