Tough to expect mid round picks to start in year one, but if this 'draft only' strategy is to work, we have a load of those types from last year who will need to take that second year leap....big time.I whole heartedly agree.
We were a playoff team that won 12 games last season.
They have done nothing / rumors saying they will do nothing to improve. You’re losing Cooper and Lawrence, which is fine barring their contracts. But we have no action to replace these guys.
You have a tier 2 QB who is between 8-14 in the league. He had a decent year, not great and was trending down last season.
Now you’re telling me he’s likely losing Cooper, Gallup, Wilson and Turner. Schultz is solid but he and Lamb cannot carry the team.
You also just cannot build an entire team through the draft and hope all 7 picks can start week one.
So yes. Not all of us are doom and gloom. But I see zero reason for ANY fan to be optimistic about the season pre free agency and pre draft. A lot can change by April … but I’m not counting on much change. Just more selling how Will McClay nailed all 7 picks and the future is bright
All of the elite QB's will soon be on second contracts.Not trying to hijack the thread but these are the consequences people were mentioning when considering signing Dak to that huge contract. The collapse is happening pretty quickly huh?
Not filled. Very few people supported those signings at those prices.The organization doesn't deserve any trust or goodwill. That's fair given what we have seen over an extended period of time.
However, it does crack me up that this board was filled with people who supported these signings but now say management is horrible for giving out those deals.
that contract has zero to do with this collapse........I am not saying Dak is any good or bad or discuss where he ranks. but last year his cap hit was 17M. they are reducing his cap hit again this year. so its the incompetence of how they manage everything in general.Not trying to hijack the thread but these are the consequences people were mentioning when considering signing Dak to that huge contract. The collapse is happening pretty quickly huh?
I was watching a draft chat with Helman and Cavanaugh last night, they both said this is the most frustrated they’ve seen Cowboys fans in their time covering the team. That something feels different about the mood of the fanbase right now. Do you agree?
It is all a setup to welcome Sean Payton after a 6-11 season.
Let me count the reasons:
1. We're paying a middle of the pack QB top 5 money and we're stuck for a few years.
2. We're overpaying a RB that is washed.
3. We have a head coach that is not good at his job and is just a place holder.
4. We are losing Cooper, our All-Pro punter, a break out WR, and who knows who else?
5. We used or franchise tag on a TE that can't block and is not good enough to earn whatever he makes from that tag.
6. We're probably going to sign Gregory to deal that he 100% does not deserve because "we like our guys".
7. We have an offensive coordinator that doesn't seem fit for his job.
8. We have an inept FO that has no clue how to build a winning team and it seems more so everyday that the team will be left into even worse hands when Jerry is no longer in charge.
9. Our priority signing seems to be focused on a WR that is coming off an ACL tear and won't even be ready for the start of the season.
10. Basically we are going to be a less talented, a year older, and another year of wear a tear version of last years disappointing team that couldn't compete anytime they faced a good team.
I'm sure I'm missing some things.
