We would never agree that at some point you have to move on from a player, tell me one player that we have let go this prior offseason that did not need to be released?If you don’t have a good regular season record you won’t make the playoffs. Tearing the team apart and moving on from all your best players will lead to years of futility but apparently you and some others don’t understand. There’s no fan base more ridiculous than this one. Just look at this thread.
I would really be interested in the behind the scenes thought process right now in the Cowboys upper management (Jones, Jones and McClay).
You know, those 5-11 we suffered through wasn't only due to bad QBs. The team itself was also bad. Dallas went 4-1 when Dak got hurt with Cooper Rush under center. We weren't going 12-5, but we certainly wouldn't have lost anywhere near 11 games. With a good team, you can still make the playoffs with an average QB. That seems to be the goal for those that want to retain Dak. But I would agree that I don't want a complete rebuild.
Our defense played lights out when Rush went 5-1 and we had a running game. We never gave up more than 17 points. However, our offense wasn’t generating much. We went from 17th to number one on offense when Dak came back but our defense fell which it usually does later in the season.
Parsons and CeeDee which are two players a lot of fans don’t want to pay. Some fans didn’t want to pay Diggs. If you draft good players eventually you have to pay them. I had a fan tell me that he hopes players we draft don’t turn out great or they will cost us too much money.
I would have kept Tyron. He was still a very good player that provided depth.
Not out of boredom.....out of necessity
It can be done with the right quarterback and FO......ala Stafford and the Rams organization
That was 2 years ago with Rush and we’ve lost a number of players since then. On paper we don’t look near as good. We may struggle to win with Dak unless several young players step up. This current team isn’t going to win games with an average QB.
You may just get your wish next year. Time will tell.
I don’t know. That defense couldn’t have held up for 17 games. And neither could Rush.
I can't disagree. But what does it take to win a championship? Or are we content with coming close?
Yep as long we are beating the Giants and D.C. and a bunch of other dogs some are content to have the 7th seed come into our house and abuse us.
We’re not going to have an average QB in 2024. Tampa didn’t have a very tough schedule. They played Carolina twice. In their last 6 games of the season they only played one playoff team and that was Green Bay who wasn’t playing that good when Tampa faced them in week 15. With our schedule last season and our lack of a running game and our struggles against the run we wouldn’t have stood a chance with Mayfield at QB.
