I hate to admit the obvious

[DZSierra]

Got stuck watching the Eagles game, only thing on.

I had to look at the stats, but as of today, Henry is the #1 rusher in the the NFL for the season and Barkley is the #2 rusher.

Do I think either teams will make it to the SB this year? Probably not.

That said, getting forced to watch this game showed me exactly what Barkley does for the Eagles. The Eagles at least showed that they took a risk to get their team better. Likewise, the Ravens did the same thing with Henry. The obvious of course is I don't really see JJ trying to make his team better.

I don't consider myself a Dak lover or hater, but when you don't really have a running game that the defense has to respect, the reality is it just makes it that much harder on your QB.

Why oh why couldn't the billionaire owner of the Cowboys at least try to get Henry on the team? The reality is who didn't think Zeke was washed up except for JJ?

Sorry for the rant. Didn't get to see much of Henry play during this season, but man, other than Browns TD reception, it seemed like Barkley won the game for the Eagles today.

There should be a QB salary cap .

It is hurting teams' ability to hire multiple stars .

Been true for a long time.

Neither would do much here.

I was reading up about Watson today after his injury.

I never realized how screwed the Browns really are with him.

Pay for performance - it's the best thing the NFL could implement. Jerry wouldn't be stuck paying someone like Dak 60 mil a season if that was how QB's were paid.

Unfortunately, this has zero chance of ever happening

It's frustrating but those players are worth two or three wins maybe? All that does is hurt us in the draft.

This line doesn't open up many holes and we have Hall of Fame players come through the doors all the time. They can't win here either. Aikman couldn't win after most of Jimmy's players left. Ware couldn't either.

We will never know because the idiot in charge of building the team never got off his yacht until right before training camp started.

I've been saying this for the last two seasons, but nobody wanted to hear it, and here we are. Have we all figured it out yet?

Good rant, but you got the whole run/ pass thing reversed on this team. We have to pass the ball and back some people off. Right now, Barry Sanders wouldn't gain a 100 yd.

Owners collectively standing their ground and demanding incentive based pay on these high end contracts would do the trick. Problem is they're all focused on getting their guy at all costs that they don't care about the consequences it brings to the league, and the product on the field. DeShawn Watson's contract is fully guaranteed, even after all of the crap that happened in Houston. That's absolutely insane.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

QB contracts are hurting other players , it needs to be negotiated .

You know what the word narcissist means? Look it up. It'll explain perfectly why he didn't.

Watson is another good example of why that type of system is necessary.

 

[Risen Star]

Barkley left a lot of yards out there today that Rico Dowdle wouldn't have.

You do realize that the Cowboys haven’t spent their CAP in years, right? Rolled money forward last season, and we are sitting on 21 million in CAP space right now after giving Lamb and Dak contracts they would have jumped for last summer. Jerry could have signed those guys + Henry + DL help and another MLB or WR. He didn’t want to, and he drug his feet on those contracts needlessly because he didn’t want fans to blame him for doing nothing.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

QB contracts are hurting other players , it needs to be negotiated .

It’s not the QB contracts; Rams Lions Chiefs Packers Jets Eagles Bills Ravens Are all doing fine with the qb Contracts

It’s a GM idiot test. The only reason to change it is because some teams can’t figure it out

 

[DZSierra]

After reading about what the Browns owe, Watson would be given a gift if he never had to play another game in his life.

I have a good friend at church that moved down from Cleveland last year who is a big Browns fan. As he said, at least Jerry isn't as stupid as the Browns were.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

I just feel that a QB salary Cap would be beneficial for OTHER players in the team .

.......The obvious of course is I don't really see JJ trying to make his team better.

Agree, but if he IS trying to make the team better, then his old age has done even more damage than I thought.
If this year's team represents a legitimate attempt to improve the team, well, our RB stable is proof of JJ's old age failure.
