It seems every thread that talks about players ends up about their salaries. Unless a player is on his rookie contract, every player is overpaid - for the most part - in the fans opinions.
And then the tears begin to fall.
Since the cap started, can you point to any player that was talked into taking less, then the team used that money wisely to go get another player? Has this team EVER shown you they will manage the money in a way that gives you confidence they will load the team up and be a real contender?
The answer is no!! Yet someone will attempt to refute this and mention one player or so that supposedly supports their position, which will indicate in their minds that Schultz or whomever is a sterling example of the Arkansas Hillbillies making bad decisions. And if they had followed the advice of the poster, there would be money to burn in free agency and this team would seriously be contending for a Lombardi .
So to obliterate that argument.....
26 years and nothing to show for it.
My point is this. Jerry and Little Enos will not manage the cap in a way to load up like the Rams, and actually win a championship. They are football men and know better....../sarcasm
And the results, which proves this is where the problem lies seems obscured in the rants about overpaying. Because this water runs much deeper than that.
Huge egos deluding themselves they can operate a franchise, and be included in the player personnel decisions, which will produce a championship, or at least making a berth in an NFC Championship game. is the issue.
These asshats couldn't manage a crack team of scientists to open a package of Ritz crackers without breaking every one of them.
You wanted three Super Bowls in four years. Then the ransom is being paid now for that privilege in decade after decade of imbecilic decisions while geriatric Jethro thinks he is bullet proof and plants his schwantz in some woman other than his wife, to plunge the final dagger into the heralded history of this Dallas Cowboys franchise. Because mismanaging the team out of ego wasn't enough.
Become the laughing stock of the NFL, "Hold my Johnnie Walker Blue, boys, and watch this."
So when you feel compelled to write a heartfelt thread or post about how the team overpaid a player, or was too penny wise and missed on a stud player because they overpaid the back-up long snapper, just think of this picture. And refrain from your exercise in futility, as Uma Thurman once said.
