You don’t know how to evaluate a roster?

You let Dan Quinn take Armstrong and Fowler no they’re not all pros but they are elite rotational pieces and when rotated properly have an impact on the game

You didn’t address the RB situation worth a you know what….Henry was there….you went and got Elliott who for the past three seasons has looked like football is done with him

You didn’t really address lb outside of Kendrick’s but you could’ve done better

You were absolutely dreadful this offseason

Can't forget DT X 2.

Every fan knew we needed a RB, some talent at #2 WR, and more DL help.
Every fan also knew there would be growing pains with two rookie OLmen starting at spots they didn’t play in college.

Not having threats at RB and WR outside of Lamb just made the OL’s job even harder.

On the other hand, no fan anticipated this many injuries at DL resulting in no pass rush or at CB.
You left out the elephant in the room. Dak should never have been extended.

Can he possibly believe that?
He obviously left RB and DT simply awful.

And here I thought the only reasonable explanation was that they were *purposely* screwing Dak to make him demand a trade to avoid putting bad film on the table in a contract year.

No, we screwed him on the field by accident while making him the highest paid player in the league.

It's been that way for decades. The problems we point out here on the fan boards are why we don't have playoff wins.
I just can't fathom how they could have possibly thought they had done enough at RB and DT.

Both are well below their usual standard of getting a dumpster dive bridge veteran. And that's with Dowdle upping his game.

Anticipation is impossible for those who have poor judgment to start with.

This is Jerry's problem each and every hour, day, week and year.

It's really a losing situation for any GM to be cursed with.

Well its reasonable to assume coming off 3 straight 12 win seasons your team should still be in the mix for a playoff spot. However, when all other teams are investing in improving their team in the offseason and you're status quo with no definitive upgrades is it really that surprising other teams can catchup?

It's like sitting on a pile of cash 20 years ago, doing nothing with it and assuming you could still do the same stuff you did 20 years ago.

So, losing 10 players and your defensive coordinator didn't ring a bell ? Resigning a washed up RB to lead your offense ? Not signing any significant FA difference makers.? Putting the ENTIRE COACHING STAFF in "dead man walking" status kinda dims enthusiasm. Jerry, you might be the only person in the country who's surprised by the teams failure.

I can't believe that you Dallas Cowboy fans make fun of Jerry freaking Jones! Are you stupid, or just dumb?

Jerry played football and is in the HOF by luck and chance.

You might not know what he is thinking, and neither do I! So leave him to be...alone on his big bad boat.

While his team sinks.
