I fixed what I could, but there is no fixing . That statement was a disaster from start to finish. You need only look at the years following the Cowboys last Super Bowl appearance and research the reason behind the Cowboys mediocrity throughout those years to understand why.
We aren't signing him long term. I would think 2 years, pay him 9-12 mill a year and be on the hook for no money come year 3. After we have won 2 Super Bowls. And if we do end up with dead money, make sure its not a crippling amount....
I understand the argument of being conservative, etc etc, building a team long term...
And I think we have been doing that for the last 2-3 years.
But when you see a chance, you have to take it! Just becuase we have failed before doesnt mean it will fail this time. You can't lose your edge.
I think the biggest gap in thinking about signing AP is Romos window.
I believe we are going to go through a few years, if not more, after Romo is gone, where the situation at QB will keep us from making a SB run. Its the QB in this league that is a must. You have to have a QB, and it might take some time to find that QB..... Maybe not, maybe we find with our first attempt....?
I don't want to wait for when Romo is gone... I want to push this year and the next 2....
or I wouldn't even think about taking a chance on AP. I would draft a rookie and hope for the best................
