Cant be Great without the Greatness of Others

If you don’t have a elite QB then you need a incredible offensive line, a fierce defensive line, and an explosive RB.

A mobile QB helps too.


That’s the recipe.
 
I'm not in the Philly locker room, so I won't pretend to know what their culture is like. Talent and health is more important than culture...the 90s Cowboys had an Animal House cultures....sex, drugs...but they had talent and managed to stay relatively healthy...do you think Jimmy would have put up with Irvin if he wasn't a stud player.
Culture won't bring Talent, but it can foster a work ethic. It's a difficult recipe....you ever make a great meal and then can't remember what you put in it? That's why it's difficult to repeat. A little bit of this, a pinch of that and keep Jerry out of the kitchen. Viola, bon apetit!

The “rotten” culture we are all referring to in Dallas is not about morality or ethics necessarily. It’s about not prioritizing winning and hard work above all other things when it comes to professional football. It’s the champagne country club atmosphere that would make a blue collar roughneck on a derrick break out in hives.

Most players want and need a nose to the grindstone atmosphere with a FO that backs their hard work with competent moves directly made with the intention to max out the odds of winning a SB.

Dallas has the exact opposite of that in every way imaginable and it absolutely kills roster building and team morale. Dallas is one of the worst franchises for a player to be drafted if you want to actually win because of this. You’ll make money and probably be overpaid for your services, but you aren’t going to win ish.
 
The Eagles won the Super Bowl against a very good Chiefs defense, and they only attempted 22 passes, 7 of those were to the RB, so only 15 passes directed towards the TEs or WRs. When is the last time a team won the SB with so little passing?

There are many recipes to success, not just the one we just saw on TV last night.
Mahomes has had 2 bad losses in the Super Bowl, once to Tampa Bay and now to Philly. In both, his OL was getting destroyed and they had no balance in the run game. In his 3 wins, he had excellent defense, but they also had a tough run game. Your run game doesn't have to be explosive like Philly with Barkley, but you have to run the ball and pick up first downs, set up good situations on 3rd down, and make the defense stop the run. Last night, even with the game 0-0 and 0-7, KC didn't even attempt to run the ball, a bad game plan for sure.
 
The iggles defense won that game and the fact that Hurts didn't throw crushing INTs.

I think Reid understood that attempting to run was not going to work. Still; he should have tried more

Bottom line the KC O line got dominated as bad as I have seen in years

Their offensive line is bad.

The Chiefs aren’t that good of a team really. They just have Mahomes.

so they won 17 games on smoke and mirrors? Yeah they got help from the refs until the SB but that is still an excellent team. Just that their weakness was exploited by a team built to do exactly that.

I know what you are referring too, but to say morality has nothing to do with prioritizing winning? Lol!

In order for it to be a moral dilemma you’d have to prove Jerry really doesn’t believe he’s doing EVERYTHING in his power to win. Iow, you’d have to prove he’s lying when he says he wants to win as badly as anybody else in the Dallas fanbase. I don’t know how you do that.

He’s cheap and loathe to spend money on FA, sure, but that could be rooted in an ideal in his brain that he thinks is objectively true, such as you never get a consistent return on your investment on days 1-3 of FA and therefore feels it will handicap his future flexibility to keep Dallas in contention. He’s point blank said all of this. When I say he’s not prioritizing winning, I’m saying he’s not willing to learn the ins and outs of creative cap management and take risks in FA. In order for this to be a moral dilemma on Jerry’s part, you’d have to prove he’s intentionally conning everybody with his “around the rim”-isms and knows his teams are really not close at all and he’s running the con to max out profits. Good luck with that.

Imo, I do not think it’s remotely that devious. He’s just not that smart at building a championship roster in this era (QB salary inflation era), nor is he hard working enough, since he’s an 82 y/o narcissistic, part-time GM, to be good at the job. Being stupid and treating the GM position like you’re working for Instacart isn’t a moral dilemma in my book, if you feel that’s all you need to do to be successful. Actions that result in harm need intent in order to be immoral. I think Jerry believes his own BS.
