Is it just assumed signing Amari is a foregone conclusion?

I say I don't know til things get a-movin' and a-groovin'.
Nothing that happens this off-season is going to get me up in arms though.
So take my stuff with a grain of salt.
I think you are confusing your football..

with your tequila.

:p

A good player if the team can afford him.

Was a horrible decision to trade a first round pick for him without a contract in place. It's possible the team only gets one full season for that first rounder. More than they got from Taco though...

Add Trystan Hill to your deadwood count..

too.

I hope we sign both Dak and Cooper before free agency. However, if not, I’d tag Dak, which is less than his market value on a long term deal, and Id sign Cooper to a contract. Cooper isn’t trying to be the top paid WR in the NFL.

Its assumed that Cooper is resigned because of the sunk cost already put in. That cost sort of allows Cooper more leverage than he would otherwise have had and is pressure to get a deal done.

is a foregone conclusion?

Amari has played well with 2 Pro Bowls since arriving but his mysterious dropoff playing at home and especially at the end of the season in hugely important games has to be answered somehow.

Especially since resigning him to help bolster Dak's resigning seems to be assumed.

Basic math says $40 mil per yr for Dak PLUS another $18 mil / yr for Amari equals almost $60 mil / yr for the 2.. times 5 years is about..

$300 mil over 5 years for both.

Does this make financial sense to you guys?

Maybe if under the new CBA we can let players play 2-ways like I did in HS.

But I assume that will not happen.

So..somebody explain how this works out.

And Is it Amari or is it Dak that is causing Amari's backslide?

Has Dak developed an aversion to Amari as he developed with Dez?

If not, what is it?

Is it Moore's playcalling?

Is it Dak's execution?

Amari's execution?

How do we account for Amari's high number of drops?

Was it Garrett's playcalling or pre-game directions that had a negative effect.?

Is Dak's inaccurate throws being overlooked as why Amari has struggled?

Something is the reason.

So as we remix everything going to the draft and after..

should we rethink signing Amari, instead sign Byron Jones and draft a rookie WR and move our other 1000+ yd WR Michael Gallop to #1 WR instead and spend Amari's money's differently?

I am undecided about Cooper and looking to have a viable way to end his high price at a good moment before signing him.

There are several WRs in the draft to replace Amari with and Cobb as well if needed.

We are at a big cross roads with mistakes of the past and looming personel decisions for our new coaching staff to fix.

I prefer to have a grand plan to fix our problems rather than more piece meal answers which cost more each year to fix.

I also have tired of the Jones not accepting responsibility for the state of the team now. All this failure went hand in hand with the Jones keeping most of us in the dark as to real answers. With them its tweak tweak and nothing improved and they build another real estate venture.

While we pay the bills.

Not what I signed on for.

What makes sense to you guys?

:omg:

Do you understand the reason that the electricity coming to your house is AC and not DC?

Do you pay your electric bill without knowing the details..

Doesn't appear this is the year.

1) Deep WR class.
2) Philly, the Giants, both looking for WR (he could end up playing two for the other side). Broncos and Bills would be good trade destinations if possible.

I don't like the combination.

If Dak wants 35+, he needs to do it w/o pro bowlers at most every offensive position.

Best scenario is finding someone to take Zeke off our hands before his 13mil signing bonus is due in March.

I know it's a long way to the top, if you want to rock and roll.

Jesus bro..

I feel like I am in an episode of the old BATMAN TV series..



OK BATMAN..

Riddle me this..

In the place were I live..

as for me looking at the details of my electric bill, only if its higher than normal. Right now electricity is low becuz I use propane for heat and in the summer run the electricity to cool.

And it costs me about $20 each a tank for 2 large tanks and they last me about 4 months then in the summer I hardly use them becuz I use electricity for A/C.

What do I live in, BATMAN?

As for DC vs AC question I actually saw this the other day. It was a kid's program and they were talking about power.

They said AC was easier to send down the wires and that DC will corrode motors faster than AC does therefore is not used as much as AC.

Tesla used DC in his research and actually sued Edison over his research using AC as his power source.

Uncle yet?

But remember, even with decisions like this being made for the last 25 years, it's Dak Prescott that's holding back this team. LOL
