Attention Jerry and Stephen: THIS is what All in really means

[MarcusRock]

I would’ve poo pood on it. It’s not how you win in this league. Trading firsts are moronic. I don’t believe a team is ever one player away. Packers made the same mistake last year. Thinking they were a Micah away when their secondary was suspect at best.

We literally just saw the Pats and Seahawks in the SB. Not one team made an all in move or have a player as good as Garrett.

My point isn’t that Rams can’t win with Garrett. My point is, they may win even without the Garrett trade. We just don’t know.

They almost DID win without the Garrett trade. Adding him surely isn't a negative. And what 1st Round pick probably in the high 20's if not 30's is going to help them get closer to a Super Bowl win than Garrett gets them right now? They could find another Guyton and he'll put them over the top? Lol.

Well it’s hard to say because they never have picks. The drafted Donald, Gurley, Goff and Jared Verse. They’ve hit on all of their picks aside from Robinson who they took with the 2nd overall pick.

And for the record Rams have McVay and I think they will be ok.

No other team
Should try to emulate this. Two draft picks since 2016 is nuts. At that point you don’t even know how many stars you missed out on.

 

[OGSixshooter]

Kind of how I feel. I’d try to emulate even what the Seahawks did….what Rams are doing is a recipe for disaster.

Yawn…it’s not my fault or anyone else’s fault you’re too stupid to understand the point being made. Then StevetheCowboy will ask why I'm picking on you when I'm minding my own business.

I'd trade all of that to say I have a Super Bowl in the last decade and about to hotly contest for another one. Worth it the last time, could be worth it again.

 

[DarkVader33]

It is absolutely mind blowing how some here can still defend and try to rationalize everything Jerry is doing to this team. Living in their own delusion. Those are the people who deserve 30 more years of Jerry in their life. Spare those of us who have awoken from this horrific experience.

I think you stuck the red pill in the wrong place. Lol

I would too but like I said I think highly enough of McVay that I’m not entirely sure if trading all those picks for Stafford was why they won. They made a SB with Goff. Stafford gets all the credit when they also had Von Miller, Ramsay and Donald. If they don’t draft Donald they may not win. I get why Rams do it. That’s the only team that should do it. Thinking if Cowboys did this they’d have more success is silly to me.

i think they did the right thing by trading for Myles. But if they don’t win they will more than likely be screwed. They can’t possibly keep hitting on draft picks the way they have and it will end.

The LA rams have once again thumbed their nose at the draft and the old school ways that NFL executives traditionally have chosen to build the key elements of their team.

The aggressive and highly successful rams GM Les Snead has become the supreme river boat gambler of NFL executives by making a huge “all in” move to acquire two time Defensive player of the year and 5 time first team All Pro Myles Garrett from Cleveland. In exchange the rams gave up their talented young LB Jared Verse, a 2027 first-rounder, and a conditional 2029 3rd round pick.

Attention JJ and SJ: THIS is what you call “All in”.

What is admirable about this move is not just that Les Snead and the rams made this move. It was WHEN and WHY they did it.

• By making the move in the spring, both the rams and the browns have those players in place for all remaining OTAs, mini-camps, training camp, etc. (Unlike a week before the season…if you know what I mean)
• The rams have shown they are willing to take a big risk WHEN THEY ARE CLOSE TO WINNING IT ALL. Last year the rams were really close to making the SB, losing to the eventual champs, the Seahawks 31-27 in the NFC championship. It was clear they needed a better pass rush. And they got it.
• Now the rams have to be considered the NFC favorite going into 2026. They are (on paper) what appears to be a much better football team.

In short, the rams GM saw last year that if they didn’t “go for it” and make a big move, they would likely not be better in 2026.

And for everyone saying the rams are “mortgaging their future” by doing this - they have already done this in 2021, and have a Lombardi to show for it. No guarantees this trade will translate to a SB win, but it is a lot more likely now than it was last year.

When the Cowboys say they are not willing to take risks like this with draft capital to “go for it”, then they might as well say, “We’re just hoping we’re going to catch lightening in a bottle”. Les Snead is saying, “Hold my beer while we GRAB that bottle”.

Low risk, low reward.

And here’s the rams playoff record under Les Snead since he took over in 2017:

• 10-6, 2 NFC championships in 3 appearnces, and 1 Lombardi.
• Cowboys in that same period: 2-4 with a ton more draft picks and “financial responsibility”.

Who’s ALL IN?

Wil you guys stop, do you think maybe they talked to the coaches and said "what do you think?

Not every piece is going to come to Dallas and light it up. How many championships did Cleveland win with him?

This is so stupid. what if he has an injury day one? will you say "well, that could happen to anyone but at least they tried" "yea and they have nothing for it"


Let it go, we cant sign every piece and again no garauntee Dallas is shooting for the SB next year.

Let it go. Lets focus on this year and see where the team is.

You need to spam all their emails with this.

The Cowboys aren't even signing their own drafted guys any more. We're lost as a franchise. Jerry and Stephen are 20 years behind. Theyre still trying to copy the 2006 patriots blue print and operating at a 2006 budget for free agency

 

[gtb1943]

I think you’re confusing my comments with defending Jerry. I’m not. Just pointing out that the rosy defense and picking and choosing the so called good GMs is way too vague and too rosy. Only five teams have won the Super Bowl the last 10 years.

how many teams have never won a divisional round game like us in the last ten years?

I’m not mad at them for it. They don’t care about picks so it’s a no brainer. Best defensive player in football. I’m not even big on the future I care more about now. I don’t think that’s the right move for the Cowboys. Rams? I understand it.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

What’s so funny about that post?

 

[stiletto]

Kind of how I feel. I’d try to emulate even what the Seahawks did….what Rams are doing is a recipe for disaster.

The Rams "are doing" essentially what they did to win the SB in 2022. They traded for Stafford. This time they traded for Garrett.

Barring the obvious injury issue (which any team can have), they are easily the clear favorites to win it all just like the 1993 Cowboys were and the 1995 Cowboys when they got Deion.

Do you deny that or are you just scoffing to make yourself feel better about the season? Reality is a B...

 

[kumizi]

Stephen really runs the Cowboys now and he is a nepo baby and a big P. That's why they never go for it.

Jerry just runs his mouth.

Is this about the Rams or the Cowboys? Rams did what was best for their team. I just don’t think it’a smart for any other franchise to do it. Which is why no one is doing it. No one’s trading all of their picks to emulate the Rams.

Cowboys incompetence doesn’t mean it has to be either or. You can choose to build your team like the Ravens do or the Chiefs do or the Steelers. There’s more than one way to skin a cat.

I feel fans don’t care about roster building they just care about getting the most popular names.

Stephen runs nothing but his mouth also lol. Nothing is happening without Jerry’s approval.

OK, so you wouldn't want to be the Rams??? You are talking out of both sides of your mouth. You're like "No franchise should ever do this, except the Rams." So wouldn't you rather be the Rams? LOL The Cowboys were the Rams/Eagles of today in the 90s when they spent money and built their team properly. You are ok with the mediocrity of being "other franchises"? No thanks...
