If we trade anything higher than a 4th for some player, it will take longer. If we trade away and get extra picks, could be done faster.

That's your opinion based on your belief that Dak is not a good QB. But you need to focus on the real problem, the overpaid, underperforming players of defense. The reason for our current problems is that Jerry and company refuse to admit their mistakes in paying Lawrence, Jaylon and Crawford and keeping Gregory and Lee around. He also doesn't want to admit that Chido and Lewis are busts and that Woods is far from being an NFL caliber player. None of this has nothing to do with Dak.

The Cowboys have been lucky to have found their star QB's in other than a top 5 pick in the draft. They have never picked a QB in the top of the draft, (other than Aikman), ever. What makes you think they will this time? If it came to that, I guarantee you they would pick the wrong one.


OMG!

PLEASE READ MY REPLY TO YOU!


Here I will help you.

Listen.. You guys and your straw man arguments..

Dak is a good player.

He's not overcoming all of this while getting paid like he is Patrick Mahomes.. Got it?

He's good but he's not good enough for the money he wants. Paying him is a 1 way ticket to mediocreville and you guys will applaud it while it happens and then cry about everything around him not being enough.

Sources are right it should take like 5 years, if everything fell into place perfectly 3 years. My source is observing and thinking by myself.

You need to give it up on this. You've looked dumb for quite long enough.

Or does someone need to bring up the name Andy Dalton again?

Problem is a lot of these guys were just recently locked down.

I hate this team. I hate it. I said before they paid these guys I hated it. Now they have paid them all besides Dak and are just locking us into mediocrity.

We pay guys just because some other team paid their guy.

We never win squat and we pay our guys like they are Superbowl champions and we wonder why they tune out and fail! We reward failure!

We want to pay Dak like he has had post season success! He has 1 playoff win and is demanding a 4 year deal on his terms!

I hate calling people entitled but my gosh this team is so entitled it's beyond imagination.

Win squat.. No jewelry. No rings.. Get big contracts and treated like rock stars.

You'll get a ton of fans who applaud it too. They want these guys to get that money. They want Zeke to get paid 2 years before his deal is up. They want Dak Prescott to get paid like he has won a Superbowl.

Byron Jones? Screw him.. He's only been our best defensive player since switching to corner.. Nahh.. We need to pay Amari Cooper 20 million a year because that's what good teams do right? They invest a ton into WR's? Screw your top 5 corner.
Many, this guy is on a roll. Nobody stop him.

I like Jesse but that statement makes no sense. No team in this NFL era plans for a 4 year rebuild. No credible source within the organization who is making real decisions would make such a statement.
Agreed and no "source" would state that as they know a 4 year rebuild means they are removed from the org.
So the source isn't a current player, current coach or current front office guy which means they aren't a source but a fan.

While there does need to be a significant overhaul, this isn’t the nba where it takes 4-5 years to rebuild. The nfl allows much more flexibility in terms of getting a good program back from the dead much quicker. Much of this going forward really relies on dak.
If dak is 85-90% at least of what he was before then that’s half the battle.

if he comes back and looks like a shell of his former self - then it could be 4- 5 years but honestly way too early to just say we are 4 years away.

Jerry fights to keep the thing mediocre. They need to just let it burn to the ground like it is right now.
This is like the 4th or 5th burn in the history of Jerry. And Jerry has become very proficient at doing it. Anymore proficient we could call him Nero.

Isn't that it?

Andy Dalton is not the problem with this team and anyone who wants to call me dumb for saying that should have a look in the mirror if they want to see dumb.

Dak was not winning and he was passing all over teams everyone has. Duh.

Browns, Seahawks, and Falcons are trash and Dak had a lot of volume against them. He's been out 2 games and still has more throws than Russel Wilson.

Now you want to pay him and then cry about all the thing around him not being good enough and call me dumb for that opinion that you already have cried about before he even got paid.

Oh and its gonna get worse.

I promise you that.

That Gilbert guy will be in there before the bye....and before the year is over, Bell will be taking some snaps at QB.

We can only hope that happens on national TV when they alternate shots up to the Jerry booth between snaps.
Very good chance that will happen, since seven of nine games left are scheduled for national broadcasts. The Bengals game mid-December in Cincinnati and the season finale against the Giants in the Meadowlands are the only two with early Sunday afternoon kickoffs.

The only reason any one knows that clowns name is because he earned a roster spot on the Cowboys by competing in a game show. He is as much a symbol of everything that is wrong with this franchise as anything.

I haven't watched the entire episode but did anyone else notice Nate starting right off going after Dontari Poe? I don't disagree with him whatsoever, Poe has been terrible.

However, I want to make sure that everyone notices that he says nothing about Tyrone Crawford, a guy who's being paid nearly 3 times as much money as Poe, and has done less than nothing this year or last year. His numbers are actually worse than Poe's!

Why is it that nobody covering the Cowboys will even mention the guy's name at this point?

People want to talk about disappointments and rebuilding, how about starting with arguably the biggest waste of time and money on the entire roster?

Yeah, it doesnt appear they will go three deep at QB.

Theres a very good chance someone will take snaps at QB this season who isnt on the team right now.

Meaning....sign on a Monday and start Sunday.

This line will get several QBs hurt

Nobody did dumb like you did. You should be in hiding, not digging that hole any deeper. Hang your head.

Dak was not winning and he was passing all over teams everyone has. Duh.

Leading the league in passing, even a week after he was hurt. Look dumber. I dare ya.

Browns, Seahawks, and Falcons are trash and Dak had a lot of volume against them. He's been out 2 games and still has more throws than Russel Wilson.

Because he had to. He was the only thing keeping this trash team in any games. Which has obviously been proven true. To anyone with a functioning set of eyes and brain.

Now you want to pay him and then cry about all the thing around him not being good enough and call me dumb for that opinion that you already have cried about before he even got paid.

The only person "crying" is you. I'll pay Dak and get rid of everyone else. He is and was the only guy earning that pay.

But you continue to wallow in willful ignorance and look like a laughing stock if that's your thing.
