CFZ Are the Cowboys totally focused on building a championship team?

[rambo2]

Correct. I think it is the MM effect. I love what he's done so far. When we dump Zeke and DLaw, then the signs will really be glaring that we're serious about super bowl contention. Unfortunately, Tyron needs to go also. I love Tyron, but it's time to move ahead.

They certainly can cut Zeke and Tyron. The go for it move would be to cut those guys and let Pollard walk and sign Payne and Chark and draft 2 backs.

And DLaw also if he won't take a pay cut.

Man, we are so close, but overpaying players just keeps us from taking the next step.

DLaw already took one, what did I miss. I thought DLaw had a good year after a "Team friendly" restructure.

You're being too literal.

Jerry's teams often end up as mediocre, due to some major flaws in his design. Counting them doesn't prove anything.

Those are the facts. looks them up.

Jerry saying he would do anything to win a SB, and saying he would not step down from GM spot are total opposites of each other. Speaking from both sides of his drunken liquored JWB-breath mouth. Anyone who believes that lie may be just as stunk up on liquor as he is. He and his aging rapidly son will keel over of old age before coming close to sniffing a NFL championship.
Their best at their peak is a one and done team.

I think like me most serious fans have adjusted their expectations long ago understanding what Jerry's plan really is.

Jerry is out to be the most profitable and he has seemed to instill this in his players also as everyone in the franchise seems to understand that longevity is the key to profits and a super bowl is strictly an afterthought.

When all is said and done Jerry's players would rather extend their careers a few extra years and make that money then shoot the works and win a super bowl.

They have been taught by the best just stay relevant enough to keep your name out there and make the playoffs and give people hope.

I've adjusted my expectations with the ceiling being making the playoffs and maybe winning a game because that's as far in as Jerry is going to go

 

[Blackrain]

Jerry realizes that going all in and winning a super bowl or coming close does not justify the risk of being unprofitable for a few seasons because of it.

In Jerry's opinion the reward is just not worth the risk pretty much the total opposite of the fan base

Im not sure how many seasons of going like 2-15 it would take for the Cowboys to become unprofitable but I am CERTAIN it would take more than a few.

No. They are content building a good team not a SB contender. Once they feel the team has a chance to compete they stop trying to get better. They did add hanking and hilton late last year but modt knew it wasnt enough to seriously contend

My question is why, its not like they pocket extra cap money and to be honest what does 20 mill mean to the Jones family? Are they purposely holding back?.. BTW I'm not disagreeing with you I really am puzzled by it.

 

[Wizarus]

No, Jerry himself said he'd rather not make the moves necessary to go to the Superbowl. His priority is selling tickets, he's content with an above average record and no playoff success.

 

[baltcowboy]

The question is can the Cowboys win super bowl by going out then getting a defensive tackle and wide receiver in free agency. If the Cowboys feel that way the Joneses need to open up the check books. I personally think Payne and a free agent receiver would make us a Super Bowl contender.

Why though, Jerry doesnt strike me as an idiot business man, he gets a SB win would bring MORE WAY MORE coverage/Money than any other result. So am i to believe he is counting pennies left over from cap space salaries? What would 20 mill look like compared to the Jones bank account balance? Agani I'm not disagreeing I am really puzzled by what the reasoning is.

When you win 13 games you are a contender.

There's the risk where it doesn't work out and then you're in rebuild mode with nothing to show for it. Even when it does work out you're still in rebuild mode, like the Rams, and Jerry has made it clear he does not want that. The cowboys not being good enough to be talked about is probably a nightmare scenario for him.

 

[Nova]

Actions speak louder than words.

He built an an Art Museum. A large neutral site to attract marquee match-ups. And to hell with curtains to block the 3:25 game glare-- the aesthetic is breathtaking, self-inflicted woes be damned.

I'm embarrassed to say I used to believe the man wanted to win.

Because to them this is a form of entertainment and all they need to do is sell us hope every year. See if they go all in one year they know at some point they have to tear it all down and they don't want to have a tear it all down here because that doesn't sell hope so what they would rather do is be good but never great and if they happen to just accidentally get everything perfect one year and win a Super Bowl that's the cream on top but that's actually not their goal.

 

[charron]

And that is all they want to be they want to go into the postseason They Don't Really Care how far they go. There was a chance tgey could win but they were not the favorites to beat anyone but tampa.

 

[cowboy_ron]

Only if it falls in their lap. Jerry can look around and see what it takes to win super bowls but he's not willing to do that.
