How about going after an elite Quarterback talent for once.
yea, lob $40+ mil at dak, good luck keeping these players in a few years IF they pan out to be *that good* cause they will go to other teams who can afford 'em.

kinda gotta see the whole picture and long term direction it would paint.

Deion Sanders.
He was bought. He left SF, because Jerry offered him a barrel full of cash.
Deion was only there for the 3rd super bowl, and his contract was one of the reasons we fell apart. And this was about buying players to build the team. He didn't.

We got Haley for a song because no one wanted the headache. Casillas was having a huge dispute w/ ATL, so we got him for next to nothing also.

Jerry did not buy those super bowl teams, but Jerry also had no idea how much effect Jimmy had in who to acquire and how to get them motivated. Haley, Casillas, Irvin, Newton, all needed special treatment to perform at a high level. It would take a blind man not to see that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jerry has never understood (or admitted) the value of a hc. for all the ridiculous personnel decisions he's made in the past, nothing equals his disregard of coaching as the major reason for his failures as a gm.

You can use one example and see the monstrous difference. Nate Newton. He was an extremely unmotivated slug. Didn't seem to care. Huge, powerful, and quick, but unmotivated to be better. Cut by the Commanders, we picked him up. We were about to cut him, but then Jimmy got here. Jimmy challenged him to a foot race, of all things, and beat him. He challenged Nate to get better, all the way to 6 pro bowls.

Nate never realizes his potential w/o the arrival of Johnson.
