How do you know an apple tree is an apple tree? The tree can say all it wants it is an orange tree but the EVIDENCE that it is an apple tree is by the fruit the tree produces.
Jerry can spit out all the cliches he wants to continue pulling in the media to give his #1 Sports franchise all the prime time games. The fans will fall for the bait--again--buying the pyrite only to be in the same position again (2025) for the 29th season.

The franchise has holes in many areas, with another opening up at LT. The hopes of this player and that player, who are on the team now, are thrown around.

Unless this team gives Prescott the extension, freeing up salary cap space, the carnival owners will be shopping at Dollar General even more with the lack of draft picks to plug the dyke.

So blowing up this team is getting closer with many coaches on 1yr/lame duck contracts. Players making big money and not getting it done, on the field. The inevitable is coming

They won't blow it up while dak is the qb. He still has another 4-6 years as the dallas qb.

It is not just free up cap space. Jerry has to be willing to spend it on quality players.

I’m on team blowout up but it completely depends on what happens with Dak.

I understand the “blow up“ sentiments expressed here. But if we pay attention to what the Cowboys have done - the last two decades at least - is never blow it up and rebuild. Jerry won’t do it. He literally does not know how.

But after the most embarrassing playoff loss in Cowboys history, there are zero signs of this owner and his giggling son having any sense of humility or accountability for that horrific performance last January.

Serious question: When was the last intentional rebuild this franchise has done? All the “rebuilds” I can think of were accidents. Like 2016. I don't honestly believe that this front office led by the Jones Boys has the foggiest idea of how to “blow up” a team a rebuild. They have never don’t it alone. Jimmy led the last great intentional rebuild this team had back in the early 90s when they had no choice.

I thought the last two years were the Cowboys best shot before the contracts get problematic, but after the Green Bay debacle I think this team has already peaked and about to head for a rebuild after this upcoming year, Jerry's "all in" is really run it back for one more year hoping for a different result before the house cleaning starts, headcoach, veteran players etc etc

In 2015 we won 4 games and Romo was coming off a major injury. Jerry and Stephen thought about trading up and drafting Wentz but instead decided to stick with Romo and draft Zeke (the best RB in the draft ). My point here is Jerry will never admit his team needs a major overhaul. Besides, replacing Dak isn't blowing up the team.........we still have a lot of young players. Blowing it up comes when you replace your President, GM and coach........how is that going to happen? (LOL)

And of course they over reached and it turns out he wasn't the best RB.

Jerry is now and always has been a “retool” owner, at best.

In hindsight, after Troy, the team would have been better off from a complete tear down. We didn’t do that and got lucky with Romo.

Then we got lucky with Dak.

Almost any team, when gifted with a “good maybe really good QB” finds it nearly impossible to burn it down.

Can’t be really mad other than retrospective “told you so”, which is easy to do from the keyboard.

But, it didn’t work out for championship dreams.

The team is good but not great.

The team now has seemed to have reached their ceiling, but the previous alternative that was there to tell Landry/Tex “you’re old and you know it but can’t let it go” phase of team management is no longer an option.

Tex and Tom had to be fired before the change could happen.

Bum Bright isn’t looking to dump a 140m franchise that is now worth 10b, so that type of revolutionary “thanks for the 70s but the sport has moved on and you’ve been left behind” thinking is a non-starter because our owner is not Bum.

So, the closest thing that will even possibly happen that could indicate a new direction would be either Dak being cut (zero chance) or Dak plays out the year (highly unlikely)

Every teams fortune rises and falls based on how they feel about their QB.

What’s lost on lost of our regulars is that wandering the wilderness like Moses and the Israelites for 40 years is fine for those of us sitting on our phones yelling “DO SOMETHING!” But if it were our jobs? Our team? 90% of those who are willing to enter the desert would turn away.

Jerry is to old to blow it up....it won't happen until many of you get your wish and Jerry is no longer around. Stephen will then blow it up to save his inheritance that he will now have to share with another sister.
