Cowboys GM Can't Get Right

[eromeopolk]

I never watch a Cowboys win so frustrated in my life. I have been watching Cowboy games since 1968.

During the Romo years it was knowing that Romomania was KitKrazy and Fitzmajic allowed to happen by a GM that did not listen to Parcells saying "don't break out the anointing oil". Jerry GM focused everything on offense and wasted the Parcells playoff caliber defense (Ware, Ratliff, Hatcher, Newman, Williams, etc.) with Winnie the Pooh and Jason Garrett.

Now that Dallas has the foundation of a playoff caliber defense, we have no go to no.1 or no.2 WR, and no TE that a QB can depend on to move the chains.

It was frustrating watching Dak and Zeke operate in this offense.

So what will Jerry the Dumbo GM do to correct the obvious mistake of releasing the no.1 WR and making it easy for the no.1 TE to retire from the Cowboys?

Trade for Devante Parker, Josh Gordon, and play Rico Gathers to let him learn on the job just like Jerry let Jason Garrett learn on the job. At least Gathers has more potential at 6-6-292 with 4.66 40 yd. time and 35 inch vert as a TE than Garrett as a HC.

Not sure the solution is trading for a WR who is one strike away from a life time ban from the league. Also, I’m not opposed to playing Rico more but not sure how much be can be counted on at this point of his career to move the chains.

I think I’d be looking to trade for a pass catching vet TE and utilize what we have at WR. I’d start by getting Tavon more touches and spend a lot of time getting Gallup ready for a bigger work load. Also, why aren’t we using Zeke in the passing game more?

He paid for Dezzies ticket to see Beyonce. Sheesh what more do you want JJ the Dumbo do. gathers will see more plays but JJ would be a real dumbo to sign Gordon. Besides SJ kind holds the reins these days

So now we are rueing the release of Dez Bryant??? Um, no.

Exactly how did Jerry make it easy for JWit to retire? Monday Night Football called not the local YMCA. That's a generational gig.

Gathers' pro day result was 4.79. He's big for a TE, and slow for a TE. And that's fine with me. Just learn how to block, Rico, and the balls will start coming your way.

Our "GM" is only a GM in title only.....he bought it he didn't earn it.

 

[Blackspider214]

Josh Gordon? We came out right away and said we were not interested. He looks to be going to New England.

Well put.

And we're doing the right thing because New England has no idea how to win in the salary cap era.

I've rued it.

They blamed Dez for the pass game and that was a lie.

A source says Dallas spoke to them.

PAtriots just got the deal done.

I said it in another post. NE may be the only team that could take on Josh Gordon with success, but me thinks Billy B has met his match with this one. Josh Gordon needs to be on a team with a no nonsense approach to player discipline. Not the crazy stuff that happens with our FO.

Another thing I just don't understand about some of the fans here (and on the dc.com board previously), why is it that every time a big name free agent is released or becomes available, they want to bring them here to Dallas? Haven't we learned that re-treads very rarely work out? This is proven time and time again.

Dez Bryant--Seriously people, if we brought him back, not only would we look like idiots, it would be detrimental to the team.
Josh Gordon--Do we really need another high risk player who has played very little football since 2015? There is no guarantee he can ever recapture his old swagger...14 games 1000+yards and a bunch of TDs
Lots of people wanted Revis last year. How did that go?

The list goes on and on.

Cowboys flat out denied interest in Gordon this morning.

...T.O. revisted…...the karma continues. FO can't get out of its own way.....been selling snake oil for years. Jimmy is probably laughing.

 

[CPanther95]

Go get Antonio Brown.

 

[BoysfanfromCanada]

There's a cap people. We have Tank, Zeke, Dak and other coming up for extensions. We've already put money into the line. We can only spend so much money and be able to keep guys like Awuzie when they're up.

That is the Patriot way!!!!!!!!!!!!! It use to be the Cowboys way!!!!!!!!!!!! (pre-Jerry Dumbo GM)

Gordon does not cost them anything. They can cut him and lose nothing but a +700K salary. If he works out you get another year at less than $2M.

I think the Cowboys just got fans excited by resigning Brice Butler. Woopie!

It seems like we can't run a decent screen pass to save our lives.

Only thing obvious was that Dez wasn't a #1 reciever anymore, much less #2. Let it go.

I think he is easily a #2, but he was getting paid to be a top 5 receiver in the league. He wasn't living up to that level. Sometimes the right move is to move on in life.
