I disagree. He's neither naive or football ignorant. Bottom base considerations are harder in today's NFL and developments in place have to be respected as well. That is what affects windows and time elements in the window of change.
Jerry‘s forgotten more football than all the critics here. Jerry’s also a gambler. Always has been. Galloway, Roy Williams(WR), Vanderjadt. But he’s also made some great trades, Charles Haley being my favorite. He helped win 2 SB’s. Deion was another one.

He’s learned from those gambling trades and probably went too far the other way. Now Stephen’s in his ear constantly about the salary cap. The pendulum needs to swing back to the middle so he’s not afraid to make a trade for a missing piece. A starter type trade.

Right now, the haters are out in full force complaining not only about every aspect of the team, but crapping on all the positive posters. They really seem to be enjoying the loss.

but if he does him, you get mad at him.
You are here supporing insult and drawn a line not on truth. That makes you a liar also. You like cool aide? Run to your brotherhood. You don't support a discussion that continues developing a picture that is not even a real picture of alternatives based upon what is going on. You don't discuss, only dismiss and insult.

Now, what flavor cool aide do you want...?

No, this is their usual season...crying in one's beer. But this group likes cool aide...their own choosing there. :muttley: :popcorn:

I was stationed as were you, overseas, to ensure freedom of speech...they are hooked on 'cool aide'.

Quinn is getting a round of second visits for Head Coach jobs.

..they have lots of good pieces, no denying that.
My fix would be a fresh DC. They need that. Someone with getting your fists dirty with stopping runs and tackling.
No style points, just black n blue play.

As for offense, get that one RB who can be leaned on for rough yards.
Dallas had an anemic run game.

Also another RT that can help with run game.
You need complimentary pieces, so you can force multiple. Having the best pass rush and best corners is irrelevant if you can't stop the run.

In fact it is a waste of cap space.

Having a great OLine means you don't need a great RB.

Putting your QB constantly in 3rd and short makes their job significantly easier.

We know how dominant our D can be playing with a lead and making the offense one dimensional. However, for some odd reason we can't comprehend how that makes Dak's job very difficult when he is in the same exact situation.

Start with the culture and brand of this team. For the GM and coach to they were in shock or disbelief goes to show the entitlement that starts from the top down. I never want to here Jerry say we have the team to make it to the super bowl ever again! Coaches and players start agreeing to that narrative=complacency!

We don't.

We move sideways.

Hence continuing to do the same exact thing x4.

There are no discussions by the 'cool aide' group on who possibly could replace him. They all await to just complain and blame, then insult.

Being in shock to begin with is not true leadership.

We ARE enjoying the loss in the HOPE it brings CHANGE.
The last 16 years have been a kick in the teeth of REAL FANS.
REAL FANS care about the Cowboys. FAKE FANS care only about their brother and milking everything they can out of Jerry and gullible fans.

That is on the level of the team and a flow from the Head Coach supported. Accountability is the issue and without doubt starts early on in the off season.

Have you ever been to Basic Traning and the bus off loaded at the training site?

Perhaps one would prefer to see the Air Force Academy Cadet 'welcome' as a Squat Do Jazz ceremony starts all off. Perhaps there is a preference to make it through a real Hell Week or POW 'training.'

The answer to that is NO one is that fool, described by you, but a new fan.

Really, who easily manages billions in value and is both ignorant and really incompetant?

First off, I want to thank @NEODOG for posting a thoughtful question without bashing someone, or everyone. Looking at the threads of late, it’s a rarity.

Now to your question of ”How does this team move forward?” We al know there are a myriad of problems. Weak defensive line, weak offensive line, safeties playing as line backers, can’t stop the run, can’t run the ball, stupid mental penalties throughout the year, bad clock management(Detroit game), inability to handle the elements(Bills game), Dak not running enough, bad defensive and offensive play calling and I could go on a bit more.

How do you fix it?

I don’t care how they address these needs be it draft, free agency or trades.

#1 need is beef up both the DT’s and LB’s. You’ll never win in the playoffs if your defense cannot stop the run. That’s a fact. There are of course some one offs, but consistently you will not win.

#2 need is to improve the talent at center. Biadiaz would be a decent backup for any team. But he gets bulldozed more often than not. The best way to defense any QB is to get pressure up the middle. He allows that.

#3 Get Derrick Henry or a Henry type back. You want to establish the run? Get you a Henry type back.

#4 Get a new, tough defensive coordinator. We’ve seen that the “bend but don’t break” defensive philosophy doesn’t work with both Marinelli and now Quinn.

IMHO, this is how the team moves forward. Do this, and despite Jerry, and his country club atmosphere, they can go all the way.
Not clever enough. I noticed that you blamed most players and coaches but when it came to Dak your only complaint was that he " didn't run enough,"

So you were OK with Daks first half of 11-21 for 86 yards 2 ints with one being a pick 6?

Nice try.

Hmm...haven't found you lecturing Rocky for his insults yet. Interesting!

Real fans don’t crap on every aspect of the team 24x7 365 like you do. That’s what’s called a hater.
