To sum it up, being good at crafting is not the same thing as being good at building a team. The Cowboys have hit on some players but not having a plan those players never really fit into an identity. They are guys Dallas loves to hype as future stars but their careers come and go and none of them reach a SB unless they leave Dallas.
Watch the Eagles OL and you can see there is a dropoff at C. Kelce is a future HoF player. Jurgens is good but he is no Kelce. What makes the interior of the Eagles OL so strong is the guy playing LG. Dickerson is a beast. He is their version of Zack Martin in his prime. If you watch the Eagles run the tush push now notice how Hurts takes the snap and gets behind Dickerson. He used to go right behind Kelce.
Look at his drafts over the last 7-8 years. More hits than misses. Look at how many starters that are at least good they have on the field. Look at his much depth was drafted and on the team. You don’t miss more than hit and get to three SB’s in seven years.
Dude, stop. He put together a super bowl team, and w/ a limited QB. Don't get so caught up in the details that you miss the big pic. Know why he was able to miss some in the draft? Because he was smart enough to get multiple 1sts for Wentz.
Which is fine for an owner, but incredibly stupid for a GM. That is quite simply not his job. There absolutely must be someone high up in the org who can remove all emotions and sentiment and do their dammm job.
Very well said.
Yeap!
He gets way to emotional and way to attached to players and even coaches. That's why Garrett can finish out his contract twice. Garrett should have been gone after 2017 (and 2013 to be quite honest). That's why McCarthy can finish out his contract when he should have been gone the second we lost to the Packers. He is soft when it comes to making those type of decisions. He had no choice with Wade due to how that season went but if they at least competed against the Packers in that game, he probably coaches out the rest of that season as well.
The big difference between the cowboys and those teams you've mentioned? The cowboys stay on a winning side of the season most of the years and make the playoffs from time to time. Unlike the Jets, Jaguars and Browns, the cowboys are the most profitable NFL team in the world.
That’s all that Jerry cares about anyway!
The Eagles have five people up for awards; all five are new to the team this year. Barkley, Mitchell, DeJean, Baun, Fangio, but he's not a genius..ok

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”——-Wayne Gretzky. The Cowboys problem is not how good a GM Roseman is. It’s how bad a GM Jerry Jones is.
Really don't see how you could be.
One might be luck but five is genius.
I think if you're a billionaire who owns a NFL team, the question becomes how bad you want to win the super bowl when you play the money game with players and the salary cap, as well as do your homework on having a game plan.
