Diggs is another contract they regret

[Mr_437]

The conversation is interesting to have if participants of the conversation are willing to be reasonable...

Your stance is pretty obvious.

My opinion is that there would be quite a few coaches held in high regards that would take a CB with ball hawking skills but doesnt tackle over an average CB who tackles.

You sound like you are 100% against that idea with no budging at all.

Again, my personal opinion is that a smart coach would listen to the conversation.

If being offered a CB that can get you turnovers and QB's dont throw to his side often, or an average CB that can tackle...I think a smart coach does the math..."2 business decisions a game that total maybe 15-20 yards a game and possibly whiffing on a tackle in an important Playoff game....vs....an average corner that can tackle?"

I might take 8 INT's a year and half the field shut down over an average tackler if guaranteed 8 INT's and half the filed usually shut down...over a couple business decisions a game.

Your rigging a flawed comparison with the average CB vs an elite ballhawk. I'll make it easy. You got Diggs or Bland?

Bland will tackle and take the ball away.

 

[Mr_437]

Like I said to the other person I don’t care if he tackles we knew he wasn’t a tackler. I’m pissed off the coverage.

Cool, now you have a liability all over the field.

That one season was a huge outlier. None of that season was going to be sustainable. Another one hit wonder. Same as Donovan Lewis. We have a lot of those guys throughout the years. LVE and Jaylon come to mind. Got extensions based on fluke seasons.

Diggs makes Deion Sanders look like Ray Lewis out there attempting to "tackle".

 

[stilltheguru]

Never wanted him signed
I said it repeatedly BEFORE the contract and idiots on CZ were upset

Diggs, Dak and Parsons should be off this team if you want a physical tough team

I think we're the only 2 who point at all three of them and don't pick and choose. I'd add bland too. I'll never forget how scared he was of DK Metcalf. Wouldn't pay him either.

 

[Blackspider214]

LOL Parsons is the only reason we could defend the pass the last 3 seasons. But you want to get rid of him and keep the overpaid corner instead.

Classic

At this point, it has nothing to do with Parsons talent but what you can get in return. We are going to suck for some years to come. Why dig down deeper and load this roster with another massive contract for not even close to the production? Parsons only shows up against the junk teams anyways. He's not worth the contract he will command. Someone will definitely pay it, just doesn't need to be us.

But the Jones family loves their own and Parsons is a huge jersey seller and fan favorite. So they will probably extend him. And the toxic core will stay around winning nothing.

Yup. Him and Steele would save 23 million as a post June cut/trade next year. I’d bland comes back and balls out , make the move. Can’t stand the soft label man. And Diggs has about 5 highlights from yesterday looking soft… and that’s if Diggs keeps playing like this.

 

[john van brocklin]

He'll probably be another contract they regret. This guy is soft, he doesn't have the elite coverage skills to be shying away from contact the way he does. He’s not getting turnovers, Dan Quinn leaving was the worst thing for him.

Large contracts they regret?
Never in Dallas.

 

[john van brocklin]

I was thinking the Browns for a 5th

How bout any team for a 2056 conditional 7th?

Been saying the same for some time . Once he "ole'd" Kittle in that Divisional game, It was obvious how soft he is . Another smoke and mirror player who fooled the hill billys

Guess you never saw my post where I proposed trading Diggs after the injury a while back.

I got crickets on the post except for a typical negative comment "You dont sell low. You rehab his value and then trade him"

I made the comment in a thread about managing the BIG 3 contracts. I said something along the lines of "if the contracts are going to hamper our team, why not trade Diggs because of his tackling issues and because its not guaranteed he will ever be able to come back and roll with Bland"

I got crickets from this board on that comment.

The contract was already signed when Diggs got hurt. I assume another team would still have scooped Diggs up based off of potential...for what price?...I dont know. But...if Diggs is struggling now and still jumping off the screen as a non-tackler...every day that goes by is less likely someone scoops him.

Was it specifically Dan Quinn leaving? Or was a good coordinator leaving to be replaced by an old, out work guy no one else wanted?
And then follow that up with far more talent leaving than added in the off-season…from a D that already wasn’t good

Boggles my mind that people still blame the individual players without seeing the bigger picture- which is this franchise being a dumpster fire run by incompetent ego maniacs.

Nah, I didn't catch that post, and I agree Jerry shouldn't have tried to sign all of them.

I totally agree, Diggs is tanking his value, but I hope he gets healthy and back on a groove in coverage.

Interesting, especially with some hefty contracts coming up, the Cowboys should shed some money. I agree with you, I grew seeing tough guys on defense so seeing Diggs playing softball/dodgeball whatever that was leaves questioning the whole defensive mentality.

I mean he’s coming off injury. He’s a soft corner….

He was soft before the injury. Dental not remember the Kittles play. That was a potential game-changing play and he avoided it

Those were two different statements. He’s coming off injury and he’s soft. I’m getting what I expected is all I’m saying. He wasn’t gonna turn into a big time hitter post injury. He never was.
