I think the way that LA has been built is insane. It should net them a SB, which Dallas hasn't had in a quarter Century, but their team is unsustainable.
How did Jimmy come in and turn the Dallas Cowboys around? Jimmy was a master motivator, he could teach, he demanded discipline, and he monitored the needs of his players. He held coaches and players accountable. He could evaluate players, if Jerry gave him enough of them. He never allowed the team to get fat and comfortable.
How did Big Bill keep the Patriots winning --- young and hungry-- not fat and happy.
What caused Jimmy to leave, and never to have success again like that? Salary cap kept him from having a Jerry who would bring in massive numbers of guys for him to pick through. Salary cap brought about changes that allowed players to be fat (wallet) and content.
Jerry wants a family atmosphere -- kind of, without the discipline. He wants his players to be happy. He wants control, and recognition -- after all it is his team.
If he wants to win -- everyone needs to be on edge and playing to get the $$$. Contracts need to be low based and have massive incentives in them. Jerry needs to be able to move on from mediocre talent with great lawyers. Discipline needs to happen top down.
Jerry needs to hold the GM responsible for how the team plays. GM needs to hold the coaches responsible. Coaches need to hold the players responsible.
Right now, I see a lack of discipline and no one responsible for their play --- just a whole lot of -- fat (wallet) happy content guys who put in the work, but have no desire and no accountability, mainly due to the salary cap.
IMO, the way to win today is to churn till you get the elite QB, then don't get attached but pay the lines first, second your CB's, and never get attached.
