RELEASED Cowboys Release DE Damontre Moore

[Stash]

This guy wears out his welcome everywhere he goes.

Can't help but to think that this was the last straw.

 

[T-RO]

Nobody's talking about spending big money, or at least I'm specifically not.

I'll give you credit there.

I'm talking about every one of their decisions being wrong. Money having little or nothing to do with it

Because something doesn't turn out swell in no way means the decision-making was bad. Paea was good enough to start...so the decision to sign him was validated. It just didn't work out as he made a surprise health decision. Crap happens. If you want to criticize the Carroll signing...OK. I get that. But in the larger picture it was a positive off-season.

Draft day is a season away. A season where you then have to worry about keeping what you've got too. When does the present factor in?

I like the future of this team...and I like the present. We have a few holes but every team has 'em. The key is to perpetually get younger and load up talent in the pipeline.

If you add the 4 misses in free agency and the minimal impact from our top two draft picks (so far), I would be a little nervous if I was in the personnel department. Sure, "GM" Jerry changes the dynamic some, but I doubt he falls on his sword for these calls.

 

[Corso]

Moore is just the latest in a long list of offseason failures. A small one to be sure, but another one nonetheless.

Another name added to the list of poor personnel decisions.

Ummm... I'm sorry stash, but that made me laugh.

 

[Stash]

I'll give you credit there.

Thanks.

But that's just it with Paea. It wasn't a "surprise". They knew it when they signed him and it was flailing up the entire offseason. Everyone thought they could manage it and they were wrong. And they counted on him to be their starting 1-technique. That's poor planning, not "surprise".

If you want to criticize the Carroll signing...OK. I get that. But in the larger picture it was a positive off-season.

I don't see any support for that claim. I have a list of personnel moves that have blown up in their faces saying otherwise.

I like the future of this team...and I like the present. We have a few holes but every team has 'em.

I like the future too, just not as much as I once did. And poor personnel decisions weaken that faith in the future. The "holes" this team has were of their own doing. Every choice they had to make was the wrong one.

 

[Bleedblue1111]

Hmmm, wonder if this affects any compensatory picks, in any way?

 

[waving monkey]

Shame on me for believing DMoore would make an impact for us

Not at all. Moore flashed in training camp but people tend to stay who they are over longer periods of time.

 

[T-RO]

...but we have neglected that side of the ball, or whiffed when we have addressed it, and it's bitten us over and over and over again going back to 2012.

If you are going that far back then you are including DeMarcus Lawrence. Still want to say that?

We've struck out w/bad character types like Lawrence...and may (or may not) see poor return for massive injury risks (Jaylon).

I wanted Watt > Taco and I'm more risk averse w/high picks so I'm certainly not giving the team an 'A' grade in talent acquisition. But we've added a ton of good young players in recent years. Our misses have been on the defensive side.

So the club knew about paea's knee before they signed him.

 

[Stash]

Yeah, they've got doctors and everything.

Do you think they just took his word for it?

sorry get your link to work.
Maybe paea hurt himself and it was a new injury .just a thought . You know it ain't the first time a team released paea

 

[pitt33]

Tell me about how the free agents they signed helped us this year? At what point does the FO get held accountable for these whiffs.

They signed Damontre Moore, Nolan Carroll, Robert Blanton, and Stephen Paea as free agents and none of them made it to the halfway point of the first season.

They can't keep taking these years for granted.

I guess that goes to show you why they were all considered expendable by their former teams.

A leopard doesn’t change it’s spots...

Hell yeah I want to say it. The point isn't that we've had zero hits. The point is we've had too many whiffs, or have developed too few players along the way. There's no getting around it. We spend $2 on offense for every $1 on defense, and then blow the #4 pick overall on a RB with 3/4ths of the secondary set to walk the next offseason, after getting bounced in 2014 for not being able to defend Aaron Rodgers. And I'm not sure our defensive personnel are all that much better, three off-seasons later, are you?

 

[CapnCook]

You just contradicted yourself in the same sentence.

How?

 

[DejectedFan1996]

Yet you have Rowdy as your avatar! Lol, the jokes on you. Lol

LMAO!

 

[Wolfpack]

For me I don't understand why you don't draft the replacement for a guy the year before he leaves if you don't think you are going to resign him?

To replace the entire secondary with rookies and journeyman types is dumb and short sighted.

 

[Stash]

sorry get your link to work.

If my link won't work for you, just google Stephen Paea missed trading camp. This knee situation was going on since they brought him in. And the injury was certainly part of his record. No surprises.

Ok

Except for Paea, every free agent signed was a part-time, stop gap player not intended to hold up progress of the youngsters, but intended as insurance. Carroll didn’t serve his purpose because of injury. By the time he was ready to return, he wasn’t needed. I applaud letting him go when they did, and I applaud the low cost of that insurance....too bad he was injured when we needed him most.

Moore was also insurance...then he was suspended. Then he didn’t produce. Then he was inactive, either for lack of effort in practice or some other reason. We need a kicker....goodbye. Blanton was a nobody safety signed to compete, and he couldn’t.

If you are complaining about these low-cost short term insurance policies that didn’t work out when we needed them in September, that’s not a front office mess, and the complaint seems silly to me. We have healthy, better players playing. It’s only a screw up if we are stuck with them as starters and they suck.

If you want to complain that we didn’t invest big money for big time starters who would change our defense for the next 2-3 years, that’s legit, even though that would mean our rookies would be getting less exposure.

No way we were going to cut Kellen Moore....that’s the dumbest argument of all. The youngster is now the backup, preparing each week. Someone has to run the scout team, someone with some knowledge. This will be Moore’s final season as we will likely have a QB on the practice squad next season.

 

[Doc50]

Haha this team is a joke

Not surprising that Pessimist likes Dejected's negativity.
