Whats amazing is a compilation of him talking about the rams before and after the Cowboys.It must be nice to get paid to simply criticize without having to do any of the work involved to actually come up with a solution.
Look it up.

Keyshawn and Sherman do the same garbage.
”I expect the Rams to win. They are an explosive team. They have Stafford, Puka and Kupp! They will run it down your throats”
… gets blown out
”Come on! It was the Rams!!!!!”

Thanks but I’m not investing a second of my time to do that.
I’ve caught on to his game long ago.
What amazes me is that there are still people who watch.

Well that goes for all the talking heads, not just him. Sometimes they're right, and sometimes they aren't. In this case I think he's right, and that many teams suffer from the same diseaseIt must be nice to get paid to simply criticize without having to do any of the work involved to actually come up with a solution.

I saw it. It was hilarious. But on brand for the kinda folks who love to keep Cowboys as their content driver.

I think they undervalue pricey acquisitions, either salarywise, pickwise or both. The Joneses have shown that they are not cheap when it comes to retaining their own players, but they have adopted a philosophy where they are cheap when it comes to bringing in outside players.
Even if you look at the Amari Cooper deal, which cost us a first-round pick, the year we traded for him, he was in the final year of his rookie deal and being paid $3.5 million. I think we only inherited a couple million of that. (His fifth year option was picked up, so the next year was almost $14 million.)
We did trade for Gilmore, though, with a $7.96 million cap hit, so it's really about value at a position. The Cowboys are always looking for bargains.

He also has 5 sacks this season which is a more honest way of looking at it and is why they were able to get a 3rd for him. Basically he had a good rookie year, got bit by injury bug years 2 and 3, and seems to be back in form year 4. They were not going to be able to afford him so they got a 3rd round pick back instead of a possible comp pick later, which they probably were not going to get because they are going to have to rebuild their roster.

I might be wrong, but I do try to and keep up with what the talking heads pick because I like to expose myself to diverse opinions before I make my bets, but I feel like I remember him taking the Cowboys and the points this week. I remember that one of his 5 because it was the one I was also putting money on and I was suddenly going "wait a sec" because I figured most people would be going the other way on that game.

I am not sure. I am more referring to him being overly complimentary of the Rams when they went toe to toe with San Fran and Philly but then when the Cowboys beat them, they sucked.

the media plays a large role in overvaluing Cowboys players though, and Jerry is a slave to public opinion, that's his whole business model.

To be fair when they played the 49ers the only game data we had was them beating the Seahawks who were expected to be a playoff team. Then they played the 49ers tight and people really started to wonder. Time has now made people realize that that is just a case of divisional games being weird and that the Rams are actually not that good but it was a valid thing to wonder in the first couple weeks of the season.

Cowturd thought the Rams would make the playoffs and had the Giants ahead of us in the division. For most of the offseason he thought we would miss the playoffs while Carolina, Chicago and Atlanta would take our place. He said MM is trash, Dak is a B quarterback, the defense is overrated, and the Eagles would sweep us. Then laughed when the Ringer said Dak is better than Hurts. Yes, I keep receipts.
