Were you also the same people who were upset when Jerry would make splash moves every year and it got us into cap hell with all the dead money. I feel like we went ultra conservative and now the fans are pissed and want to go back to Jerry wheeling and dealing us into cap hell again. This literally killed the team in 2016 onward because we have to pay so much dead cap and couldn't build around rookie Daks contract.

I am not a big proponent of in-season splash moves, but there are numerous holes in the roster that could be addressed and not require a marquis acquisition.

Lol, what splash moves have the Cowboys made over the years?
Owens in 2007?
LaRoi Glover
Mcfadden?

Tell me a time when we tried to go all out and win the SB? It hasnt happened in a generation.

I guess some never figure out that there is a middle ground between too much and DOING NOTHING.
We have made a few small moves that were good; but we NEED MORE,

Perhaps it's the trading that is the problem, it's the trader that is the problem. Other teams make trades and it usually looks god for them. Jerry makes a trade and it always seems like he was fleeced. Getting a 5th round pick for Amari Cooper is a good example, after he gave up a first round pick to get him!

I would like to see quantity moves.
We did make a couple of those this off season, so we know it's possible.
Speaking of the 2 trades.

Exactly Jerry will make the dumbest trade possible
