The reason they have to keep Dez

[Diehardblues]

TWill was a VERY productive player with Romo. He had two huge games in the playoffs in 2014.

All of our recievers were productive with Romo.

The reason they have to keep Dez. so we can blame somebody for Dak's bad throws. just like we have to blame Jerry for Jason's back coaching.....

Inside WR's have to block as well and I would place more value with him on the outside as a WR.

On running plays there usually isn't a slot receiver on the field. Now sometimes there is and then he would have to block but if he was on the outside it would be blocking every run play and that will take a toll on him. If he was more valuable on the outside don't you think he would have gotten more than just a couple snaps out there in the past couple of years, especially when Bryant was injured? Except back about 10 years ago when the skins had their trio of small receivers the "smurfs" when else have teams put their smallish receivers outside instead of in the slot? It's just to much unnecessary punishment for small receivers.

That's the excuse they use. That dead money will be absorbed by an ever-rising cap and the ability to restructure and restructure contracts at will until the end of time.

Owners put in a soft salary cap so they can give their fans an excuse why they don't try harder. It ensures them a 9-figure profit each season.

This league has about 10 to 15 years left in it. Jerry should go for broke until the music on the NFL stops.

It is VERY obvious you know very little about the cap. First, of the major sports in this country the NFL is THE ONLY sport to have a HARD salary cap. Every team as a number that player contracts can not be over, PERIOD. Where you come up with a soft salary cap in the NFL is beyond understanding. Second, there have been several years where the cap has risen only slightly by just a few million dollars and in those years the Cowboys dead money was as large or larger than the increase in the cap so no the dead money doesn't always get absorbed by cap increases. Third, if dead money was just an illusion or just an excuse to use for fans then why doesn't EVERY team just renegotiate many contracts or half of their contracts so they can just go out and over pay for free agents knowing that next year they will just restructure those contracts, adding more and more dead money every year? Why - because the Cowboys who when the cap started were in cap hell from the getgo and continued for over 2 decades BECAUSE of dead money and very severely limiting what money they had to work with. Even grade school kids can figure this out.

That's funny since in 2016 Prescott's rookie season he had the 4th highest completion percentage in the league at 67.9%. Granted his accuracy in 2017 wasn't as good but of the 32 starting QB's in 2017 Prescott's 62.9% was still 9th which puts him in the top 10 percentage wise so maybe, just maybe there were as many bad throws as some would like us to believe.

That trend might change but recently that hasn't been the case. Almost all of the recent WR HOF picks have been 1st rounders (guys like Harrison, Tim Brown, Moss, Irvin, Rice, Monk, Lofton).

The only current active WR that is a sure 100% lock for HOF is to no surprise a first rounder as well (Larry Fitzgerald).

I don't think "more non 1st rounder in HOF at every position" is true at all. Like 80% of the runningbacks in the hall of fame where 1st rounders......

There are 109 1st rnd players in the HOF out of 228 players so a little less than 1/2 of the players were 1st round picks. There's 310 people in the HOF but many are coaches and contributors.

First off, you've been dogpiled countless times in your short time here, so you might want to feel your way into this a little better.

If a team can be over the cap, then restructure an existing contract and suddenly be under the cap, then that's not a hard cap. There is literally no limit to the number of times you can do this, and when owners finally get tired of spending money on salary, they suddenly fall back on the very weak excuse of "We're cap challenged! We can't do anything!" The Commanders bought a million high-priced free agents this way to no avail.

Mike Fisher has explained this many, many times. The salary cap is a myth. Do your own research.

I'm not interested in teaching you football.

IMO Dez not being on the roster in 2018 is nothing more than wishful thinking
