Makes a lot of sense....we think in terms of wins and losses, Jerry and son think in terms of dollars and cents. In their eyes, everything is groovy. Takes too much time, effort and smarts to try to improve the team, especially during the season.
Are you bugging their phones?
How are we going to acquire those players cheaply? We have a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 7th round draft picks next year. Toss in a couple of 6th round comp picks that are basically 7th rounders. You really think we are going to get very much for two 6th round comp picks and a 7th round pick? Unless we start dealing that 1st, 2nd, or 3rd round pick we aren't getting much via a trade.
We will see
But the defense was built lol. I'm just saying you can't say they only won because of the defense without acknowledging the defense was built by this front office.
We don't get comp picks for McGovern or Dalton Schultz?
I agree with about 50% of what you are saying
It's our "unique advantage". Sure has proven to be worth it.
The following statement was in my originals quote. These are the projected comp picks for Schultz and McGovern. "Toss in a couple of 6th round comp picks that are basically 7th rounders."
This is tiresome. Jerry is being diplomatic, of course his public stance is "everything is good" or variations of that and then of course the talking heads on tv, radio or podcasts have to fill space with their "opinions" so whatever show that is can fill the time between insurance commercials.
Yes, the Eagles plan ahead and are always trading players and acquiring picks that they can use to acquire other players. It’s hard to do what the eagles do when you manage like Jerry Jones. But at this point , why wouldn’t you part with a 3rd round pick to land a starting LB or Derrick Henry? The goal is to win this year.
I believe that as well. He thinks his way is the best way to get it done. He's delusional, but there's plenty of evidence, past quotes from him that show it is what he believes. And, of course, who is going to tell him he's wrong?
We had a 3rd round comp once…for Byron Jones.
My gut says that's just BS too. What is he supposed to say? That's just Jerry speak IMO to try and trick everyone that he isn't looking to upgrade the team and thinks he'll get a better deal because of it.
I don't know that to be a different theory. I think that's exactly what happened, and it led to what he is today.
Well what else is driving him? He doesn’t need the money. He wants to build a Super Bowl team AND get the credit he did not get in the 90’s. That’s what has been driving him all these years and why he clings to GM duties in spite of 27 years of nothing. He wants to be remembered as a “ football man” like Al Davis not just a rich owner. That legacy is all he has left in life to accomplish.
