Jerry 's formula is focused on signing the STARS , especially on the offense . The commercial strategy is to sell tickets and jerseys by having a team built around offensive star players that keep the cowboys in the mainstream media and generate revenue as a result. That part has been very successful revenue wise.
The old saying in many sports is: offense wins fans , defense wins championships .

The dak signing is another continuation of Jerry's strategy. Keeps the star players on board , despite the massive cost and the defensive deficiencies . To be honest , i don't think dak would be too different from Dalton or Gilbert or another FA QB. The offensive system will make many QBs very productive. For those who argue differently , just look at the last 5 years , dak is not a real difference maker and the team cannot win with a bad defense. One or 2 games here and there will not reach the super bowl. If the goal is to reach the playoffs every other year, then yes Dak can do that.

In addition, the coaching hires historically have been on the offense , Chan Gailey , jason Garrett and MM.

Troy and others have said it many times. The focus has to be on fixing the defense and not commercialism. This is why top tier GMs would not authorize such crazy signings of Dak and zeke and others. Did you ever see the Patriots/Steelers/ Green bay make headline market making signings ?? Nope.

The next moves in FA will be crucial to salvage any chance to fix the defense and re-sign important components to field a competitive team.

They aren't trying to build a champion. They made that clear yesterday.

They're trying to put on a good show.

Jerry has been changing. He fired Garrett and brought a REAL HC in here. Hired Nolan, then after one season fired him which he would never have done before and brought in a legitimate quality DC.

Next step is he needs to stop drafting offense and actually nail a few defensive high picks. He started that trend last year with Diggs and our 3rd round DT.

Can he dump useless, overpaid anchors like Zeke and Jaylon? That is another thing he needs to change.

Yeah, I think I can stop right there.

If you can't tell the difference between Dak Prescott and Garrett Gilbert...even comparing Gilbert to Dalton is laughable. :muttley:

We spent a *lot* of top picks on defense 2016-2019, and just failed on them. We didn't have guys worth signing to free agent extensions. Even DLaw was questionable, IMO, and the extension on Jaylon was a clear bust. Bust on McCoy. Bust on Poe.

It's not for lack of spending on defense. It's for lack of spending *well*.

not really . I know you love dak a lot , and he is younger , but the numbers don't lie . Plus we have seen him start 1-4 with a better OL last season. i doubt the win/loss last season or the season before would be of great difference. Would i sign dak ? yes/ But for 40 mil over a 3-10 mil Dalton or similar ? no .

Indeed , they had so many misses on the draft with defensive players. This is why proven winners in free agency are very expensive . Which doubles the challenge for the cowboys with this Dak deal and the baggage deals.

Jerry has no formula. 25 years and they can’t win a divisional round game.

Formula? That would suggest a plan and he has never had a plan for the SB, never.

Everything revolves around one central theme, keeping the Dallas Cowboys at the top of mind awareness and being relevant and important.

Can we fault him? NE and PIT have won more SB's, hell, a QB has won 2 more than the Cowboys, but neither NE or PIT are the Dallas Cowboys.

The only reason he would even want another SB is so he could grant more interviews and show off, that's what he cares about. I don't even think it's showing that he's "football man" anymore, he is Mr. Dallas Celebrity and that is the drug.

Gotta go all-in in these next few years. Blow it up in 2024 if it doesn't work out.

In NFL history how many teams have let go of a player the caliber as Dak at that age at that position?
There's no need to worry about reaching a Superbowl after yesterday. At least it takes the pressure off for people to laugh at the clown show

Y'all went from "Cowboys have no faith in Dak" to "We will never win a Super Bowl with Dak" real quick. Y'all sound like emotional children lol.

Jerry having a formula to win a championship? I honestly don’t think he has a clue. He does have a formula to make tons of cash. He knows how to do that.

Jerry’s money making skills are proven. Conversely, his lack of football championship roster building skills have given us 25 years of evidence. If we are going to win a SB while Jerral Wayne Jones still draws breath, it will most likely happen largely because of Lady Luck- not anyone named Jones.
