How the Cowboys front office is trying to cheat the system to help them get over the hump

[CCBoy]

Just a question but isn't there something inherently stupid about people betting in a place where only 13% actually wind up winning money?

Betting despite a known cause of failure is never smart...no doubt. That is why after action analysis accompanies all teams weekly and at the end of season.

Here is one flaw in the Dallas system that no one is talking about.........players age. And by the time they pay that big money......these guys are past their prime.....and they are paying for dwindling returns.

This upcoming Prescott deal is a prime example.....If they cave into that.....this franchise is absolutely screwed for the next 5-7 years. Your pinning your hopes on a broken down fighter....and painting yourself into a corner financially.

Maybe they’ll pull your boy Moore out of Philly and make him the Cowboys QB.

Have a great season, cowboy brother

You as well my friend!
I would be lying if I said I was not discouraged.

Yeah, a little bit, for a lot of reasons. I’m not buying NFL Sunday ticket that’s for sure. I’m in New England. I’m gonna have to go to the bar for games. And I don’t drink so that makes it difficult. Medical reasons not because I don’t want to.

Let me make sure I understand your position. Try to pay your best players, if they don't allow you to, get rid of them for draft picks I suppose? Sit out free agency? What kind of team would you have? A team with 3 or 4 year players at all times? It’s not my position, it’s the only way to implement the strategy Jerry is apparently trying to implement. Jerry can’t continue to play hard ball, then concede to big contracts because no player sees a “consequence”. The best way to implement this is if u can convince ur QB of this and get them to take less like Brady and Mahomes. Then u have the freedom to move on from T. Hill and Randy Moss. You wouldn’t have a team of 3-4 yrs players, any player that would resign would be culturally bought in. Why do u think the patriots dynasty lasted 20 yrs.

I don't understand why Jerry thinks a player wants to play for less than his market value. Jerry, more so than any other owner, understands this is a business FIRST. When the same person (Jerry) has been doing it his way for so long, without the results he is looking for, what makes him think he is the most qualified to do this? I am of the belief that the 3 Super Bowls Jerry has won as the owner, are mainly because of Jimmy. That is the ONLY formula that has worked for Jerry. He should return to being the OWNER and bring in an architect that gives us the best chance of getting to the next level. I agree.

Jerry has NEVER gotten to the next level with the role he is in now, and he has had more chances than any other GM in the history of the sport. It takes everything in my being to keep my fandom in perspective, because it is mind boggling to me why I and so many of you and so many of my family/friends still care, when this man REFUSES to turn this over to competent professionals!
