We are only 3 years removed from having given Romo an obscene contract and then Dez and both contracts have just come off our books after years of killing our cap.
Both players could not live up to their contracts and won very little.
We were unable to resign players and lost players left and right and finally it all hit the fan at 6-10.
Now we are about to start the whole process again only with a QB who has had only 3 years in the NFL to prove himself as deserving in DAK.
Romo had 4 years before he became a starter then it was another 2 years before we gave him the big contract.
6 years of knowing what we had and still it blew up on us.
Here we are again looking at investing in another bargain player in Dak like Romo was and it took 10 years to move on from it.
I just really think this franchise has lost its mind if they jump off the deep end with DAK.
And I like him but he has some skill sets still absent.
Before taking another poison pill contract in the hopes of succeeding..
let DAK win something more than a preliminary playoff game.
He does not have to be re-signed yet.
He has another year on his deal.
So what if it costs more to sign him later.?
If that happens and he wins..
we pay him or not.
If not..we are not going to have a problem taking his money and signing a QB in FA that can help us or if we were really wise..
draft another DAK and start getting him ready going forward now.
We could use our #2 pick and draft somebody and let Rush and White go.
Either way we win.
This is what the Patriots would do.
They draft a Garofalo and when they knew Brady was going to be staying..
they traded him.
But they did not get into a crisis over a single player.
Just for once I would like to play with a winning hand.
I know some here will think this is crazy..but not to me.
If this all goes to Hades and Garrett gets fired after this year..
at least the new coach will not be saddled with a hopeless salary cap situation to start over with.
Slow it down Stephen, Jerry and company.
Take your time.
