The last few years seen a lot of comments from some fans making fun of our players who leave in free agency and saying it's only about the money.
This year it's Jourdan Lewis and Tank taking the brunt of the homer comments. They're all about the money because they are going to teams like the Jags and Seahawks.
I guess my question for those people is do you actually realize how bad this team has been since 1997?
- Almost at bottom of list of total Playoff Wins in NFL.
- Haven't even come close to sniffing a Super Bowl.
- Never made it out of the Divisional Round.
- Long list of bad Head Coach hires.
This is not an expansion team. Why would any player NOT think he had a better chance to win somewhere else?
I'm sorry I'm not buying into this,
seriously like I don't know where you're coming from, but we signed most of our players, many signed new contracts , at some point it comes to roost,all teams lose players in the same manner.
are you trying to tell me that we should hold on to Tank for another two or three years?!!!
the man had 11 years and when you look at the league even San Francisco's lost three times that number of players we have...
so, your hypothesis is wrong,
I know things haven't been great here but it's far worse other places to win 36 games two division titles and to be in the playoffs 5 out of the last eight years is hardly bottoming out , compared to about too many teams I could list here.
you got players that are staying with teams for money, you know like the Browns that big mouth over there said he wanted to be on a winning team it wasn't about money then they handed him $40 million and he took it and he's staying, on far worse organization than ours..
most of our players stay here, Lewis was here for eight years, multiple contracts in between the injuries and now you're using those two examples of somehow our players are running away LOL
they're leaving the Cowboys because we bottomed out?!! NO, it was TIME!!
are you kidding me????
most of our players stay or come back how do you explain Fowler turning around and coming back if this was so bad at culture over here why players are, even Beasley after his big mouth, bridge burning statements, he wanted to come back here three years ago...
So, no, I am not buying into your premise,
that statement doesn't hold true because you found 2 examples this year of players we finally allowed to let go, wasn't the narrative?
that we like our guys we keep our guys too long we don't know when to let him go, but then when we do let him go come on here and read your statement like it's a big deal... SMH!!!
they will never win, this front office with some of y'all will never win because when they finally do things you ask them to do is let go of some older players that have been part of the problem, but then when they do you make it like it's because the Cowboys aren't a good destination for players to either stay or come and that's not true..
Let me finish this by telling you if you want some proof you want common sense not emotion stop with the hyperbole and rhetoric stop with letting the Jones family dictate everything you say because they live rent free in your head;
there would not be a list of about 300 free agents every year they don't come from the Cowboys, they come from every team every team has to make tough decisions, and let veteran players walk, again , I just brought up San Francisco because they're making all the Super bowls they're winning all the time and they just lost about 30% of their starters... Are you telling me the eagles who just won a Super Bowl last year aren't affected by this the salary cap have to make tough decisions they lost two guys on the defensive line ,they lost two really good defensive backs, and they lost another defensive back, they lost an offensive lineman, these were all critical starters in last year's Super Bowl run.
No you're going to have a little crowd that agreed with everything you said but you know me what you said is not true,
except yes the Cowboys have struggled but that has nothing to do with tank and Lewis leaving, it was time guaranteed if they'd offered him money, he would have stayed they didn't even offer these two players contracts and now they're jaded and now they're squabbles going on between the ones that stayed the ones that left...
you know what that is that's normal that's the human condition it has nothing to do with the Cowboys I if they don't offer tank a reasonable contract, he would have stayed but he got Butthurt because instead they brought over Turner and brought back Fowler instead.
Those are real facts those are not something supporting the hate for the front office those are absolute facts... I mean don't make me go over a list of all the good players that had to leave their teams already in the first week of free agency because, I'm going to show you some big names that left teams that either were in the Super bowl have been in the Super bowl recently or even have won a Super Bowl recently among others like big names this is normal eventually veterans get released..
Fans act like the Cowboys have been in the dumpster bringing up the rear in the NFC East practically ever year. The team has been competitive most years they just haven’t had playoff success. We’ve won the NFC East 6 times since 97 and have had 2 number one seeded teams. We’ve had some very successful regular seasons but it hasn’t gone well in the playoffs. Yes, it’s been very disappointing and frustrating not having won a divisional round game or reached a SB in almost 30 years but there’s teams that have had it much worse than the Cowboys over that period.
They're trying to make this about Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys lack of success and you're 100% right he's had nothing to do with money this had everything to do with them not getting an offer here and then being overpaid to go somewhere else it definitely is about money and it's not about winning there are so many teams that are not winning that sign big time free agents they act like the Cowboys are somehow worse off than I could think of at least 12 or 14 other teams that haven't even won a division recently they don't make the playoffs as often they don't play on prime time they definitely don't get the recognition in the media that the Cowboys do it makes the Cowboys at least relative on some level that makes it worth being here and most of our players stay so now we're trying to use two examples of players we chose not to make offers to who on their way out are now making waves yeah that's pretty normal...
