Bottom line the FO doesn't want a 2-3 year rebuild

[Rogerthat12]

Yes we all can see it but we also believe we have time for 2-3 years down the line. Jerry doesn’t.

True but in actuality he is dooming his chances on his own time line!

 

[America's Cowboy]

Getting Vrabel or Harbaugh is what this team needs IMO to get over the hump. However given the play style is much different than the way the roster is currently constructed it would’ve taken a 2-3 year rebuild to get the roster the way they want it.

During that time you have to make a decision on Prescott, Lamb and Parsons and then probably Bland, Tyler Smith, etc.

I think Jerry saw a long term rebuild as cementing not winning a Super Bowl while he was alive. Whereas the chances the next 2 years probably aren’t great they definitely are higher than going from a finesse team to a 49ers/Ravens/Lions style in 1 year.

So the FO is trying to make a couple easy tweaks rather than rebuild this thing all the way

You nailed it! Everyone needs to understand this and stop complaining already.

 

[VaqueroTD]

Jerry be like..

”Woooo… my 12-5 coach is coming back! Super Bowl!”

 

[RS12]

That may be what Jerry thought as the clock ticks on him and dementia seems to be creeping in. But what makes the op think a couple tweaks is going to move this team over the hump? This team has a lot of issues, and dont come at me with the 12 and 5 non sense. Most of those wins were against the dregs of the league with some horrendous defenses.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

It's easy to see what Jerry sees. A 12-5 team that led the NFL in scoring.

If you want to look big picture, the Cowboys really did accomplish a lot this year. If this were the Jaguars or Titans or Raiders MM would be Coach of the Year material. But in Dallas the stakes and expectations SHOULD be higher.

I'm tired of being regular season champs. As are all of you. We deserve to win the whole thing. Instead we have to be satisfied with just being "good".

Here's the only way you'll ever see a rebuild in Dallas:

I'm thinking his coffin will be $$$$ Green.

They have said repeatedly that they want to have a team capable of winning it for a longer period of time. I think keeping MIke (like you said) enables that to continue.

They need to go hard to remake the defensive roster a bit. They need to get bigger and tougher. We need a couple of hard nosed RBs....

That would go a long way.

 

[JBS]

No new coach is winning next year. Jerry only cares about next year.

Belichick has a much better chance of winning than MM

 

[TwoCentPlain]

Jerry will never rebuild

Show me one team in the NFL ever who rebuilt after going 12-5 and winning the division.

Yes, I know they brutally lost the last game.

 

[big dog cowboy]

it would’ve taken a 2-3 year rebuild to get the roster the way they want it.

Oh ok. So we just add another year to the count (I mean 28-29 what's the real difference right) only this time we add a $50M+ QB to the salary cap.

Kicking the can down the road is what the Jones' did with Garrett. It seems we are heading down the same path.

 

[elcowboi]

We've been rebuilding for almost 30 years now.

 

[GMO415]

Yeah? So what are they going to do when they fail next season? Because the solution won’t be a 1 year fix

Just more of the same.
Repeat X 29.

 

[batman36]

At this point I would like to see them do what the Rams did a few years ago. Give up a ton of picks and cap space to go all-out for a title. If it means five or six years to recover so what?

We've waited almost 30 years already anyway.

The Rams won the SB in 2021, missed the playoffs in '22, but returned to them in '23, losing at Detroit. That's not a rebuild. That's a competent GM(Les Sneed), that has to account to ownership. This doesn't exist in the Cowboys' organization. Not to this extent.

 

[Rockport]

I’m hoping against hope that Jerry sees that the just need a new DC and a handful of players, RB, LB, DL and OL and goes all in free agency.

They overvalue draft picks. I know Dallas has hit on a ton in recent years. At the same time I'm pretty sure this team would have gone 12-5 this year minus Mazi Smith and Luke Schoonmaker.

 

[Jake]

Yes, the FO is correct in not wanting 2-3 year rebuild. Why? This organization has been rebuilding for 29 years.

It's not a matter of whether they are correct. Jerry Jones isn't rebuilding a 12-5 team at the age of 81. He'll convince himself they can still get over the hump next season.

I just finish looking at the opponents for next season. The home schedule (besides the NFC least), is on the brutal side.

I want offensive line coach Mike Solari gone as well. His run blocking scheme is hot garbage.

Major Fail.
This current set up is incapable of post season success.

.....Hate to break it to you Jerry....but this team needs to be rebuilt. With all the free agents.....guys that need to be replaced....guys that need to be upgraded....there just isn't enough cap space and draft picks to build a winner now.
