So more of the last 25 years?...
Do you ever have any positive thoughts geeshBrand new coaches. Now's probably a good time to change course with this roster, too.
It's ugly around here right now.
Cooper looks like a bad signing waiting to happen. Some teams are going to overpay for Byron Jones and Anthony Brown. Zeke looks noticeably slower and aging fast. Jaylon's contract was a woeful mistake. Quinn is probably gone. LVE looks like he's not long for the football world. Byron and Zack have back issues, which seldom get better. Frederick is still recovering from something only Vulcan's can pronounce. Dak isn't worth more than $25 million per year, if that. Safety and defensive tackle are still gaping holes. Tight end remains a big question. We don't even have a reliable punter and kicker.
Now, enter Jerry's band of re-tread coaches. Now at 20 and counting. Are we going to hire a left guard coach next? Do any of them know magic?
Next year smells bad. Like 7-9 bad. Even worse, the roster looks to be regressing and aging rapidly. The window may have already closed on this bunch.
So what now? Scheme can't fix this as much as some want. It's highly unlikely that there's a bag of plays and coverages that will fix what we witnessed last year. This team needs players, different ones, and a lot of them.
Or, somehow this franchise needs to start stockpiling picks and devise a way to build the next contender. You have to be aggressive because these days, rebuilds are three-year projects, not five. Free agency won't allow anything longer.
Yet, the Cowboys keep trying to play the middle. Not aggressive in free agency, and not aggressive in rebuilding. Just treading water.
There is no easy answer here. The Cowboys are between the rock and the proverbial hard place. Do they suffer the PR hit of deconstruction, or do they press on and dump untold millions on the likes of Dak, Cooper, Jones, Quinn, and the very necessary other free agents to make this work? They should choose the former, though they'll likely choose the latter. Jerry's days are dwindling.
We just witnessed perhaps the ugliest season in Cowboys history. Subtract the Rams game, and what exactly happened? They lost the most winnable NFC East in history. They basically blew bunny layups all year long after a 3-0 start.
It ain't good.
Their knowledge is way superior than anyone else. I'm surprised they are not running an nfl teamYou guys don’t quit do you lol?

From the same culprit(s).Another gloom and doom post.
Me too. Shocked they don’t own the team at this point.Their knowledge is way superior than anyone else. I'm surprised they are not running an nfl team
Sometimes these threads are so bad lolWe're no better than Philly fans.
Dude I noticed the same thing lol! I always looked forward to erod’s posts as he was always a logical and sensible poster. But the last few months he’s been one of the most extreme posters. Hope all is well lolE, I’ve been reading your posts a long time. You’re a great writer—you should do it for a living. Entertaining, colorful, and descriptive, but wow, you’re an extreme dude! For years you were the perpetual Eeyore, NEVER happy, and prone to tirades and diatribes. About two years ago, it was like someone flipped a switch—funny, flip, full of joy, always the optimist—and this went on a good year and a half. Since our three game win streak went south in October? Seems like your settling back into your old identity. Do you really think we’re that far away?
Oh no E..
This roster is loaded with talent. I’ve heard Jerry, Stephen (who’s taken over so I’ve heard from so many here), the media and fans.
This is a SB contender less a greater coaching staff.
C’mon Man
That needed to happen last year.The Garrett firing has been tough on a few folks.
8-8is the ugliest? dude get life and take some kind of mood enhancing pills...maybe something with testosterone because you sound like a girl dog..
ive witnessed 1-15 4-12 ,many 6-10 seasons etc when you have a shot a playoff spot the last game of the season and a division win thats not a disaster..
you sir are total disaster., check your self in somewhere and turn in your firearm's.., im concerned for your well being..
we wanted change and now change isnt good enough, like I said get some Midol
Post of the day. LOLI now has sad face.
