Dozens of accidentally merged threads ** LOCKED **

you could almost recreate that by staying off social media, including the Zone and just watch the games.

Restrict your sports internet consumption to matchup articles and game previews and then game wrapups from around the league.

But most of us can’t do that

Maybe we’re the ones who have gotten soft.

That's what casuals do but that's the best point you've probably made on this site LOL... This is a little bit of an addiction a lot of us use this as a distraction and keeping up with the deeper side of football in the NFL and whatnot...


Don't do this with the Mavericks the Stars or the Rangers although I do follow them but I follow them a little bit more casually but I'm a hardcore Cowboys fan and I can't get enough...

Definitely are putting ourselves through unnecessary extra headaches by having these debates sometimes but it is what it is....

Came back in the day can you imagine N Dallas 40 the stuff that Tom Landry allowed with Hollywood Henderson some of the others the White House in the 90s I mean if TMZ was following these people around along with like 75 social media outlets and some mainstream sports outlets most of them wouldn't have a job back then.lol

This is as tough on the players as it is the fans because we're dealing with this in real time push notifications so many sources just hammering us with all this information it's information overload.....

We ALWAYS do. We just drag it out, create months of drama and end up paying much more

Fix it for you when's the last Homegrown superstar that we drafted it turned it into an elite player Did Jerry not sign he's never let not one of them go from the rookie contract to their 1st big deal they've all been signed and yes some of them have been dragged out but not all of them Trayvon Diggs didn't do this tyron Smith didn't have to do this There's been so many i'm not gonna even list them here I mean you know how many contracts Jerry sign since 1989 how many players and it's very rare that this happens yes and recently it feels like it's happening more often than not but these contracts have become insane..

The new narrative they don't wanna be top 5 anymore Just within their group you know against their other peers that do the same thing in the NFL they wanna be the highest paid non quarterback in the league they want more guaranteed money they're pushing for 100 percent guarantees..

This is a new age and yes Jerry makes it worse but still there's a good reason for it.. I mean not to make excuses for him but this has become insane on the money these players want...

It's happening on more teams than just the Cowboys the Cowboys are at least five times more covered and talked about than other teams so it just seems worse..

The lament is that Jerry's culture was not for winning. But you define winning wrong.
Jerry's culture IS all about winning. Winning in that Return on Investment (ROI) stay within the targeted range on each balance sheet. He needs game-wins enough to keep the product viable but ROI-wins is where the real money is.
The culture Jerry builds is for the merchandising not for the scoreboard. That is his "win".

No I could care less acout Jersey sales and art gallery tours . Winning is Scoreboard and currently the Steelers have most SB wins

 

[RonWashington]

Who ever argued that the owner wasn’t weak?

Remember when Zeke went to Cabo and he caved? I do.

Romo

 

[Diehardblues]

oh, because I thought only real dids kept their players. Froj the comment I was responding to, it stated we do not keep our top players. BY the way, Ed Werder made it clear, Dak wanted to play on the franchise tag and then be 100% in control to be able to force Jerry's hand. If Josh Allen or Mahomes, or Jow Burrow wanted to do that, they could do it as well.

Yea. The Cowboys are the best ran organization . Everyone wished they had an owner and GM like Jethro. Go Cowboys

And they have Aaron Rodgers, now. Yes, Aaron. I wish them good luck with that most deceitful old husk prima donna. The steel is getting rusty.
I'm thinking our Mr. Milton could outperform that broken old horse looking for a glue factory.

 

[Diehardblues]

We generally do. We just drag it out, create months of drama and end up paying much more

Jethro , the gambler of Americas Team, is no doubt greatest GM in the business. He’s making the Cowboys great again

24 mil this year all against cap in one year. Over 26 mil next year all in 1 year, then 120% for the second tag, all in one year. That’s a huge chunk of cap space. With Dak, lamb and his you’d be stretched mighty thin

The total $ amount is significantly cheaper. Jerry would not spend the saved cap space anyway.

There is no reason to be paying people millions of dollars 2 years after they are gone.

This is what gets lost in all the tag him 2 times talk...........you are essentially wasting the contracts of your other high-level players

Are we wasting $31M right now?

The Steelers saw the Jets film from last year and burned it .

Romo

I’m talking about Zeke going to Cabo and holding out. Romo and Witten going to Cabo also happened lol.

Nothing like signing a new contract that will cure that fake back injury.

The funny part is that usually players suffer actual season-ending injuries after signing huge new contracts.

How is it going to ruin their prime? He plays out his last year and we tag him and trade him during the draft. Looks like a win to me for both sides.

That depends on the trade value. If Jerry does a poor trade, everyone will instantly know, Jimmy made the Herschel Walker trade.

On the other had, if Jerry gets a good trade, people may think otherwise.

We seem to be a team that finds good DE’s we just can’t draft a run stuffing DT to save our life.

That is because it is not a priority.

Keep in mind Micah fell in our lap.

 

[NotForLong]

I'm not talking about games. Is he even practicing? If they don't play preseason, the only way to get to game speed is to practice at game speed. Is he involved?

Trying to get up to game speed by Practicing at full speed is a Myth and this team has suffered the last 2 seasons based upon this premise

 

[stinkface]

Schotty should have said, I'm only focused on what's happening with the players playing.
