add TUA, WATSON, Murray, Wilson(2023) ,Jones, Herbert, Rogers, cousins, hurts, and too some extent allen and LJ i mean they have yet to go to or win a SB..all PAID IN THE SAME ZIP CODE

would you like me to go over the difference in some of their teams is the GM and the coaching staff the only person who's gotten paid and kept winning would be Patrick mahomes he won a Super Bowl with a rookie contract and after literally getting paid big money he's the only one who allegedly in the world of fans that fans live in a delusional world he's the only one who lives up to expectations if the expectation is you have to win Super Bowls or at least regularly get to them then how are all these other guys highly paid but if you look at like Philadelphia they made the Super bowl but they want it with a backup quarterback because the team was good enough but jalen hurts did not do it by himself and his defense let him down in that Super Bowl and he was playing Patrick mahomes but this team still gave him two wide receivers a tight end and now a dynamic running back they're not complaining about the money this guy is ridiculous apparently he's not looking around a lot of teams are gonna pay their quarterbacks or already have in the same zip code in area code as that got paid and by the way anybody who thinks that wouldn't have had at least five offers in the offseason for around the same money or more to leave the Dallas Cowboys he would've got paid one way or the other cause teams value a top five to top ten quarterb....use they're the hardest thing to find...
Preach blueblood70.....preach!! Jerry has sold a lot of people some straight cow manure. The "All-In" was the hoodwink statement of the year. This is all Jerry and his ego.....crumbling since Jimmy J was fired.
Recent case in point: The sunlight & glare......Jerry will not even accommodate his OWN players.

Dak's Contract screwed us!

I have been a Dak fan an supported him overall, yet his new contract is so dumb (dumb, dumb, dumb). Let him play it out and then sign him if he does something.

Seriously, We sacrificed drafting a QB in the top 10 and actually having options or being forced to ride with him for the next 3 years with hard cap hits. Parsons and his big mouth, No OL help, No RB help, no DL to stop the run, and hoping a new coach in the next 2 years wants to even try.

What do we have? Diggs, and Lamb are the only building blocks we have.

I am sad, and never have I been this down on the team.

Again, I was never a Dak hater and still not, but you don't extend him.

I have a car loan right now. I would not re-finance it unless the interest allows me to pay it off sooner without sacrificing the age of the loan.
Actually the contract did not screw the Cowboys. Money don't throw the ball, Dak does and he is the one that screws the Cowboys.

He left out Overshown and Bland if he’s the same player after this injury. Not much to be excited about. A ton of holes on this team. We could be looking at a number of very lean years.
What are talking about? I'm excited to see these lean years and more losses coming. I hate Dak and Jerry with a passion.

response does not match nor compute, Not what i said!!

that glare is laughable that its an issue but when playing in rain, snow , WIND like big time effects games in buffalo to point they cant throw at all, and ice or delays due to lightening or bad turf, mud, or regular SUN, it is part of the stadium and that sun angle to affect a PLAY or 3 PER SEASON, its rare and if you think that cost us a game , you are the issue. Show me the moment of what game it cost us and it didn't effect the other team?? Yes, would be nice to have the issue resolved but in this care Jerrys right ,all Stadiums have unique issues, i remember when brett farve couldn't throw at TX Stadium the first half because if the ridge ie hump in the middle for drainage had his vision and distance was tad off until they adjusted he threw HIGH a lot...

the joke is this became a story(like the scoreboard lol ) is because it the DCs..there are bigger issues with this team but Dak not one and another is the SUN the freaking glare I mean 100 years of NFL football played never once did the outdoor stadiums, the sun cause an issue , or not once did playing indoors at night the old school lights Got the ball LOST..ive seen this in the Baseball so Eye black and sunglasses and or tinted shield's are not a thing??

lastly , 2009 until now dont remember a Secic loss over the glare..any more or less than dropped passes, bad throws, fumbles, missed tackles or anything else ie bad calls or no calls. Part of the game.. BUT I do remember an 18 game home win streak.. odd that sun didnt effect that huh?? Bobs post about afternoons game effecting our record was a joke the their team somehow overcame it ?hmm ironic huh?

so yes there's a lot of issues but the sun glare isn't one of them he's not not accommodating our players one or two plays per year are you serious that's why he's laughing at you it affects both teams equally just like all the other things I listed yeah like no stadiums have their own problems or games are free of mistakes that cost teams the game it just goes with the game that day it's very rare there might be two games a year where the angle is just right and the play is right there but in my opinion Ferguson blocked lamb's view and the ball wasn't even on time because he didn't leave we watched the trajectory of the ball CD lamb would have had to not only saw the ball before it got blocked by his tight end who had to duck which by the way how did he know to duck if he couldn't see the ball he saw the ball he decided the ball wasn't for him and it was for lamb it was too late he ducked lamb was too far ball was headed behind him and low so you guys can keep this nonsense up yes Jerry's got problems they need some things to fix but this one it's a joke it's become this much of a story and I don't know why you replied with that...

No one was hoodwinked if you believed it that's your own issue I mean if you're that gullible that you believed any of it they do the same thing every year and you can choose to be a fan and I'm gonna do what that guy posted you could find another team but the this is a joke you all don't even have a clue because I mentioned all these things that should be pretty obvious anybody with I don't know what's the word common sense knows that all fields can have their own problems and each game is unique on its own and you can't go back and believe that one play in a game that wasn't close and don't even say that at the time it was we were gonna get beat no matter what the only way we had a chance in that game the way it started and finished is that Prescott would have been healthy and you don't wanna hear that either cause most of y'all are Prescott haters...

You can say that again, to yourself. (whatever you said).

Just like it’s probably been said on this post 20 or so times … it’s not the rest of the world that’s wrong … not the players or coaches fault … look no further than big and little Enos Burdett..

Jerry will double down on his error and extend his cap hits even further down the road. These are not smart football people making these decisions. It is all about the bottom line on how much more money can they bring in.

That’s why you need real football people running the ship and not the Clampetts because like they are known for, you will get laughed at.

Aren't you a mod here those are your features as part of this forum right there above.lol so I talked to text and then highlight it and select the size of the font and the color and the type.....
lol. I was not talking about the forum's features. Those features are obvious. Any individual creating and posting messages without talk-to-text software comprehends how those functions work and operate them in turn--on any internet forum site.

No. I made an observation of how your talk-to-text features were controlling the forum's reply options. The mass of text without punctuation has long since become commonplace. What's new is mass of text without punctuation AND color. And the follow up reply was mass + virtually no periods + alternate color + font size change.

The software seems pretty robust. Is it A.I. aided?

You done? Never said the glare was my own or sole issue. There are too many problems with the franchise is the point, latest being Jerry's response to the glare or the Deion talk. And certainly more than just Dak's salary. R-e-l-a-x.

Dak's contract is merely a legal form.

Jerry Jones's procrastination in getting the deal done is what screwed us.

The random probability of a QB going down in such a fashion is what screwed us.

The belief by Cowboys management that a 30 year old Dak Prescott could withstand the physical demands of a QB with a weak O-line and laughable running game is what screwed us.

Dak didn't plan on signing his contract and missing half the season due to injury. He did not screw us and his contract hasn't budged from the drawer in which it has been filed away so it definitely didn't screw us.

However, NFL games on pay-only TV....?

The script writers for the 8th season of Game of Thrones...?

Car 8-track players...?

The referees that made the no-catch decision during the Packer division playoff game in 2014 season....?
No....extending him at all is what screwed us!!!

We can literally make ANY move we like. It a matter of funny money, moving money here and there. Its a matter of WILL. This front office has no designs on truly spending all it takes to become a juggernaut. Why would they? No one a held them to account and the franchise is the MOST viable team in the world. In the Jones' minds, its working as far as the template they been using. I said this many times but winning is in the eye of the beholder. If we have the will, there's a way, of making it work with or without Dak. Truth is, he will be here starting 2 more years, but NOTHING will stop them from drafting a eventual starter. I can tell you they are enamored with Sanders the QB from CU and Arch Manning at Texas. THAT could be what they are eyeing. Either guy would make any club an instant team that would be in the conversation year after year. If I had to flip a coin and choose, I rather have Arch. The pedigree is just too good to pass up. Daks on borrowed time and if he happens to get us over the hump in the next 2 years, its all gravy. THIS is what they meant by ALL IN. Its a soft rebuild.

Agreed. Jerry should have never paid Dak top overall pay. Nimodo. It is what it is. Gotta deal with it now.

The problem is we took half measures only.

If you're going to extend Dak you should've been prepared to build a team around him.

Instead Jerry chose to penny pinch and do "more with less." If that was the course of action it's pointless extending Dak to a record deal.

First of all let everybody else tell you how wrong you are we have plenty of cap space the problem is the way our front office utilize the cap space other teams have the same issues at quarterback making a **** ton of money and they're not doing anything in the playoffs either they're not that dynamic and yet they build around and they have two good wide receivers like in Philadelphia but they're paying jalen hurts they're paying Dallas at tight end they found a way to keep the train rolling we have a lot of money in cap space so keep reading why everyone bashes your head in for saying what you said but listen to that statement above which is 100% wrong and this is a small list we have plenty more to talk about but I'm not doing it with you because I have a feeling you and me and my patients they don't match so I'll be blocking you soon that is just a terrible statement you're clueless you're a sheep you're basically just muttering and parroting what other people have said around the Internet and not realizing we have a lot of cap space that's just how our front office is unwilling to use it but we will see this offseason maybe a new coaching staff will open up his wallet and get some better free agents and some better replacements this year but here's a little list to start with and there are more...

.
Easy add In BeeBee, Tyler smith, I still like Furgy in Better offense, maybe Osa, but Overshown, bland, Liafu, possibly Kneeland, and Parsons( that's right he's still a key piece regardless of what you think about his mouth and it was obvious in the last game him playing he's still a building block if you don't think so again everything I said is still true with overshone so big difference add a little more talent and he's still key here he still a building block if you don....again everything i said is still true) to name few more.

I mean you want to allow the rookies to develop a little bit before like 2024's rookie class...???

I think has some good players in it that we need to let develop, I already mentioned a couple but we're writing guys off and then we can add in just for good measure I like Thomas and bell.. I also like Hoffman and bass to develop along that offensive line Guyton is definitely not a lost because I mean come on dude, we're eight games into a rookie season, and this guy is saying we don't have anybody but that two,


I mean what's are you watching, the hate train and the casual fan opinions are in full effect. Don't you have a bridge to patrol, troll?
First off.. If you look at my history.. I am not a troll. Actually always been positive and supporting whatever the team does. This just stinks right now, and has me frustrated with Jerry. He is being a reactive owner/GM instead of a proactive. Get these players locked up sooner, or take a chance and see what happens and ride the contract out.

I do agree with a lot of what you said actually, and I should have worded or not included the building blocks sentence. We do have a lot of young talent who could do amazing things in the future years.

I am not hating the team, just the ownership choices and also not hating on Dak, I would take his contract without thinking. Not his problem to take less money.
