Our problem is we find a way to get severely outcoached in the biggest of spots.

Great that we draft well.....doesn't matter when you can't find the right staff.

Tough to do when qualification #1 is if you aren't good enough to potentially take credit away from Jerry if you happen to win.

It's such backward logic it's a joke.....but onward we go.....


Well there always seems to be a coach in training that is Jerrah's pet cat. First it was Garrett and now its boy wonder Moore. Both were in over their head. Can Moore be better this year?

I would say there is little doubt that Jerry's hand picked geniuses have hurt the team.

Anyone wanna guess why he chooses to do that?

so there’s someone in the building who actually thinks Jerry knows what he’s doing? Can’t have the entire coaching staff thinking the GM is a complete hack! Plus those years of “mentoring” Garrett really worked well… for Jerry. Not so much the rest of the team!

He wants his guys running the offense... this way he can say things like...."I want to see more of this, or more of that"

There's no doubt in my mind that's the case.

Why else hire two consecutive OCs with nearly no experience? Because they will do what you say.

He wants to be the damn head coach. I just wish he would already but he knows he can't get away with going that far, so he needs puppets in place.

Vanity. He hasn't delivered Championships, and with the Jerry Window closing, he wants to leave behind some kind of positive post Jimmy legacy. A coach that Genius Jerry Built is one obvious way.

No doubt about that. He wears every hat anyway, might as well coach.

Nice article breaking down how Dallas has done drafting from 2010 to 2019 verses the rest of the NFL, not just in a vacuum.

Dallas was 8th in draft return during that period, but did it with the 4th least draft capital.

Dallas has gotten a good start in the next decade by drafting Lamb(6th best in class) and Parsons(best in class) the last two drafts.

Another interesting point is that Dallas is the 8th winningest team in the NFL during this same time frame. But Dallas has nothing to show in the post season with all this draft success and wins. That's what everyone remembers and the teams draft success and being a winning team is forgotten.

Many believe Dallas is the worst run organization in the NFL, but if that is the case, the vast MAJORITY of teams in the NFL are poorly run.

The problem is the draft is only part of the equation. I'm all on board with the Cowboys not being a free spender in free agency, but they take it to an extreme. Just an occasional key free agent acquisition could make a huge difference, but they tend to use free agency to round out depth or on a former higher quality player that is coming off injury or a bad year or two hoping to get a bargain. Nothing wrong with that as part of your free agency strategy, but it shouldn't be all of it. Occasionally they should make a move for a true difference maker.

The FO does a phenomenal job drafting players...

The problem is we have these great draftees but don't have the offensive coaching staff to do anything with them so go from A1 class talent at the draft to Conner Williams type mediocreness because the offensive coaches don't know how to get the best out of them.

lets only look at the last 2 years and only at the 1sr rd picks. Congrats on grabbing the blinking light and being forced by other teams to take Parsons.

Dallas drafts well. There's not much question about that.

But at the same time, some of our best picks seem to be handed to us. And often times, we'll hear later that they really wanted someone else.

For example, Sharif Floyd V Travis Frederick.

Don't forget 2016 ..the Cowboys tried to move up into the latter part of the first round - @ #26 - to select Paxton Lynch.

It's so he can make his little suggestions instead of having an experienced OC telling him to get lost.

Jerry Jones thinks he knows everything about today's NFL football because he played guard at Arkansas six thousand years ago.

If he is being honest, his biggest worry is what the franchise is going to do once it loses his expertise.

The narcissism is beyond sick.

Sometimes I think if someone else would have reached for Jaylon, we’d maybe have Chris Jones

The Cowboys aren't the worst run team in the NFL. They're actually better then most. However it's They're post season drought that gives them this stigma unfortunately.
In my opinion had Tony Romo not bobbled that snap vs Seattle it would have changed things around for him and the Cowboys.

I think the question in this draft will be, will some team go full R-tard, move up high in the first to draft a Trubisky or Daniel Jones? That's when the excitement starts. Soon we'll be adding Trey Lance.

You can’t build a championship team using only 1/2 of the resources. Until the front office decides to actually use free agency to improve the team, drafting well will continue to be meaningless. But continue to celebrate your regular season wins pretending like our front office isn’t incompetent…

So Dallas drafts pretty well and that reflects on how well the organization is run ? Not even close. So they accumulate talent through the draft. Then they proceed to squander that talent under substandard coaching, poor schemes, and poor game management - year after year. Then let’s add the fact that they mismanage the talent with bad contracts that put too many resources in to a few players that don’t deliver performance commensurate with their contracts. Then they won’t use free agency to try to build out the rest of the team, even when they have money. The vast majority of teams are not poorly run in comparison to this team. The LA Rams completely make the point: They don’t even draft much at all because they trade most of their picks away. And all they do is contend, play in SB’s, and even win them.

Yeah, Jaylon and LVE and Gregory and Biadasz and Connor Williams and Trysten Hill absolutely phenomenal.

And until they can find players in the 2nd round who can play.
