Video: Jerry Jones made a 50 million dollar mistake

[gjkoeppen]

What a surprise. The 2 zillionth rip on Prescott thread was started. Who could have seen this coming.

 

[baltcowboy]

I’ve noticed the light bulb is finally starting to flicker on here at the Zone in terms of seeing what I’ve been saying about this for a couple of years now.

If we don’t sign the Dak deal I’m sure it will just become common knowledge of something that just had to done.

I like Dak but the reality is he is more of a rags to riches story. Once he gets paid the pressure will mount for him to win. Good guy but I don’t think we can win a Super Bowl with him. If one of those top 5 quarterbacks falls to 10, the Joneses should draft the player. The Cowboys will be in the spotlight the rest of the offseason. The Joneses will make more money because they would have a shiny new toy. Debate shows will be debating this for the next 3 seasons.

No mistake was made as Jerry didn't believe in him 2 years ago and the same holds firm today.
Yes, they are trying to find a trade partner but I fear to no avail.
Expect Prescott to be released and have Winston's fate in FA.
Cowboys will move up in the Draft and select a QB with their 1st rounder.
Dalton will start the 2021 season.
That's all for now folks.....

If you see Dalton walk away/sign elsewhere then you can bet Jerry will sign #4. If Dalton stays and there are no "Shefter" sources indicating interest in Dalton then he is staying and #4 is walking...bank it!

If Justin Fields is there I think you can basically replace Dak with Dak.

Lance I’m not sure about.. Mac Jones I like but I’m a little worried about where the league is trending with athletic QBs and getting a guy like him but he does remind me of 2014 Romo..

He can move around and makes smart decisions with the ball.

Yes, I concur with the above.

lol...yet, you had to chime in? Why?

I am agreement with Broaddus. Let these quarterbacks play on 5 year contracts. Unless the are top level star players let them go. Mac Jones would win win rookie of the year with our receivers. Lance would be the talk of the league with his athleticism. I don’t think the big 3 fall to us.

lol Broaddus stealing my idea.

The market of stupidity is the QB market and it is team crushing.

 

[john van brocklin]

It's what we do...

 

[john van brocklin]

Signing Dak wouldn't be the cause of mediocrity any more than Garrett was the cause. They are symptoms.

Dak or no Dak the mediocrity is still going to be around, screwing things up as they have for 25 years.

The GM is the common denominator the last 25 years.

 

[aikemirv]

Sign him, we lose. Let him go,we lose. Who cares at this point.

Sign him, you lose for sure! We just are not a good enough team for it to matter right now anyway. May be more entertaining with Dak but the end results won't change. You will make it farther with Dak than with someone like Dalton for sure but no cigar!

Non-exclusive FA tag and you have a very good chance of winning

 

[aikemirv]

Just draft a guy or see what it would take to acquire Darnold because I think he is a great risk / reward if the price is right.

Darnold has all the physical tools but you have to wonder if the guy will ever recover mentally. When he came out he reminded me a lot of Aikmans first couple of years where you saw a ton of promise and just figured it was a matter of time. Now, you just don't know.

 

[aikemirv]

OK I'm calling BS on that. With a healthy OL and Dak many were picking this team to be in the super bowl. That was just 6 months ago.

Well that was until the defense showed up and brought everyone back down to reality!

 

[john van brocklin]

Thing is, the Jones boys (not to mention a few fans) convinced themselves that the Cowboys had a "loaded roster" and were ready to win in 2020.

They signed a few names on the back end of careers, recycled McCarthy, and thought they were going places. That's how clueless the Cowboys have become.

Good luck starting over with the same two jokers calling the shots. I've seen this story more than once and know how it ends.

Sad but true

I just think he is so young and has had a horrible team around him.

I think he’s got good football in front of him and it’s going to happen quick if he can just find himself in a decent situation.

The game has never looked like it is too much for him.

 

[phildadon86]

My gosh Jeff Saturday is an idiot.


“They aren’t a 6-10 football team with Dak Prescott on the field.”

We were a watermelon kick away from 0-4 you donut.

What are we with him? 7-9? 8-8?

Get out of here with this nonsense.. This overrating of Dak is part of the problem.

You're right. We would have won 13 games with Tom Brady. (your idea) even with our defence allowing 40 points a game. lol. Oh yeah. And we were missing our entire OL. So Brady wouldnt have made it past week 4. But hey.

Maybe if we had Beathard we would have been 13-3. Since he is better than Mahomes. The overrating of Dak isn't the problem. The people pretending they could be a GM in this league are the problem, and the fans that don't appreciate what they have when they have it are the problem. I hope we go in your direction and we are absolutely garbage for years. Just so you can sit there and say. Well the cap looks great but our team is trash. Which is the risk we would be taking in drafting a QB. This organization hasn't proven it is capable of drafting a QB. We lucked into Romo and Dak. And you expect them to evaluate and pick the right guy? lol. You need help

 

[sunalsorises]

I don’t know. ESPN broke up Mike and Mike to give Greenberg his own show. They doubled down on that mistake by giving Greenberg an afternoon radio show at the expense of their best program. LeBatard walked leaving ESPN with Greenberg. What’s Greenberg’s point here? Should he just leave so ESPN can rebuild?

 

[phildadon86]

What I don’t get is why we need to pay Dak all this money but we also need to build a Super team around him.

The team he needs to win with is a team that if Andy Dalton had could get you to the same place Dak does.

Either focus on team building or sign Dak and accept our mediocrity.

You aren’t building a champion and paying this guy though.

Because you cant draft a defence. Theres 100s of mocks on this very site showing you can correct a lot of the issues on the defence by drafting the right player.

Your argument is you cant know how that player will perform on defence. But then suggest drafting an unknown QB. It makes no sense lol.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

I feel like I call em like I see them. Now, everything I call does not actually turn out to be right but, I think anybody who is listening to Wake Up and taking their opinions is stupid. These guys have consistently been wrong about things an it's not even that they are wrong, it's that they ride the trend and go with it and report it and discuss it as if it is fact. It's not. Did the Cowboys make some mistakes, yes. They never should have extended some of the guys they did and there were some other things that you can probably look to but, they haven't screwed the Dak thing up in my opinion. That was screwed up the minute Dak signed France as his agent. The idea behind Dak in the 4th was to bring in and develop a QB who could work within the cap. It was never, IMO, to have a guy who was making record money. That's not what Jerry vision has ever been. I think Jerry learned how QB salaries work and he didn't want any part of that with Dak. He layed it out for Troy and it paid off early and crippled the team late. He changed his plans after Troy, he went after Carter who was much cheaper, continued to sign cheaper options and then got Romo. Romo was also a cheap option until he hired France. Once that happened, Jerry was back on the treadmill. When Dak came along, I think Jerry had an idea of how QB fit into the salary cap. Then, once again, along came France. I don't beleive Jerry made a mistake, per say. I think Jerry has always understood what he wanted to pay. I wouldn't call that a mistake. People who don't know or understand, and that's every soul on Wake Up, do not get that so they spew BS like what we have here.

That's my my opinion anyhow.
