One man's trash is another man's treasure....many players flourish on new teams, new schemes and knowing it could be their last chance. I'll wait til the pads come on, before I start comparing.
I am 100% confident we will be better. I think we are finally seeing a serious effort to change the culture. I think that started with trading Parsons, but the 2025 season was the collateral damage, especially the timing. Simply put, Eberflus and Schotty misjudged his impact on covering up a ton of warts his talent covered. Things got out of control in weeks 1-2, and Eberflus never recovered. By mid-season, he lost his lockroom.
Disagree. I think trading Parsons was 100% on Jerry.
Not drastically different although I do believe they were legitimately in for a LB but their lack of conviction and experience in free agency nixed that opportunity. The major difference though is that they did sign one free agent to a real multi-year contract of over 10 million per year which they haven’t done for more than a decade? Furthermore, the trade for Gary and the restructuring of the contract also amounts to a multi-year commitment (unlike the Pickens trade for example). I’m hoping the trade for Brooks or another good LB before the draft and then I do think we can look at the off-season as an adjusted approach of sorts. In my opinion they should have been more aggressive with offers on the LB front but baby step I suppose. We will see what the rest of free agency holds and then of course the draft. Currently, I’m not really impressed but I don’t rule out that we could consider it a successful free agency period by the end of it either. I never felt that way last year.
With players that had no clue how to play zone it was worse than taking chances in man. Why was there no talent at these places? Why didn't any of the acquisitions that we made actually fit Eberflus' system?
No, it was not worse, it was the only thing that could be done.
Not lack of conviction/experience, it all comes down to their complete inability to evaluate players. I mean, they have less then zero clue.
How ANYONE can still step up and defend this front office is mindboggling.
how long will you keep forgetting something very well proven

If they move from #32 overall up to #20 is that really that much of an improvement?
Those of you still hoping Jerry changed should clearly undertand he is a liar. Whatever he says it a lie mixed with some truth which is the worse case type of liar. He is the number one enemy of this great franchise. He is changing the legacy of the Cowboys to glitz and glamour with no substance. Dallas Clownboys
The focus on defense is why I figure.
Good post. Too bad many will not see it this way.
No one is defending the FO.
Just like you ignoring what I post. As you do with not comprehending my post about I do not like the FO and they way they do. But do not hate on them all the time either.
We were 30th. Commanders and Bengals were worse
They evaluate players just fine. Their problem is they can’t negotiate in free agency (or at all really) because there are 30 other teams that are also allowed to make offers to prospective players. They refuse to make aggressive offers that beat out other teams because they are terrified of overpaying players. Hence they rarely get their targets. They end up overpaying their own players too because they always wait to the last minute to sign them but they end up keeping them because other teams can’t compete for them. Maybe if they at least have the intention of signing free agents the next few years they will find out how it’s done but wouldn’t hold my breath.
