I’m in the same boat. Been a Cowboys’ fan just as long and I’ve seen some really bad teams, but this one might take the cake.
But what really depresses me is that there isn’t much hope. We have a quarterback who, coming off an injury, is going to need $40M per year or about 25% of next year’s cap. They overpaid for a washed up running back and a linebacker who looks lost. The offensive line needs to be rebuild, the defensive line too.
Then there is the coaching, who will get a pass from Jerry Jones because of COVID. 5 minutes left in the game, down by three touchdowns and he’s running the ball. What kind of sign is that giving to your team if you’re not going to even try?
So I’m right there with you OP. This is rock bottom for our Cowboys. They’re not only a terrible team, but they won’t be good for years.
The very best thing that could happen right now is that the team goes 4-12, drafts a stud QB, and blows this team up. Don’t sign Dak - all he will so is lift a bad team to 8-8 for the next 5 years and hamstring our ability to sign other players. Trade everyone who is tradable. Start over.
