This is what happens when you have a de-facto GM who cannot be held accountable by anybody within the organization.
Dallas has had pretty much the same weak position groups for several years with little to no improvement.
This FO certainly talks-the-talk, but fails to walk-the-walk; they are so arrogant that they think they are getting one over on the fans with their inane buzzwords and flimsy excuses…they talk in terms of salary cap and the constraints it poses, while other teams are constantly re-tooling their roster to make them more competitive.
Jerry throws away draft picks on players who either aren’t starting, or not given the opportunity to start…for a team building through the draft, this is a bad strategy.
Jerry is at his core a businessman, not a football guy; but since he writes the checks he can be whatever he wants to be, at the expense of the franchise.
This was a dismal year, no doubt; injuries didn’t help, but all teams have to deal with them…I’m looking for Jerry to double down and keep the same lame HC and DC; the same QB whom you signed for a record contract, coming off a surgery to his leg, while not giving him the help he obviously needs to take this team to the playoffs…assuming he is capable of doing so. I think the jury is out on that because Dak, in his prime, failed to do so with a premiere OL, a stud RB in his prime, a future HOF TE and a good defense.
I don’t understand those who think Dak is suddenly going to exhibit a jump in talent to the next level after being in the NFL for nine-years with two surgeries…great signing Jerry.
Sorry guys…rant over. It’s just that I’ve seen the teams Dallas had in the 90’s and have witnessed their descent into mediocrity and you keep telling yourself the next year will be different…but it never is, it is more of the same indifference and excuses.
