I think I'm against paying Micah, CeeDee and Dak

[DoctorChicken]

Dak of course is the one you don’t pay.

Micah and Ceedee are franchise cornerstone talents.

 

[8FOR!3]

How did that work out?

Jamal Adams is a safety that can’t cover. Micah is going to get you sacks any way you look at it. It’s coveted in the NFL and at his age should you get you multiple first rounders

 

[Aftershock]

I feel like we need to keep dak and ceedee or else were in nfl rebuild purgatory. I don't like it, but we're stuck between a rock and a hard place! Force dak to take a team friendly extension since he wants "something bigger than the nfc east championship hats" and build up that run first mauling culture like 2014.....but I'm fine moving on from micah.

I’d rather be in rebuild mode than watch annual 1 and dones.

Some teams turn it around real quick. Took the lions two seasons, bucs 2 after losing Brady, look at the packers now

 

[Doomsday]

I am not trading CD or MP but they need to get a coach in here who can figure out how to use MP properly.

DQ got lazy leaving him at DE, hell he even stopped moving him around and would line him up against the opposing team's best OT on key downs instead of taking advantage of his ability to shred lesser players.

 

[Asklesko]

I am against paying players who are sucky or don't show up in big games

 

[diamonddelts]

Yes let's get rid of all decent players for draft pics. Because we have the BEST GM in the league to make full use of them.

Bruh......I remember those years post Aikman till Romo.......don't want to go thru that again. It was rough!

 

[ak47kaehu]

The last time we went full rebuild was when Parcells was here. It needs to be done, we're always retooling and running it back. That's obviously hasn't been working.

Trade micah for someone with a top 5 pick and go get a QB is what I'd do.....then do something with daks extension where you can cut bait/ trade him with minimal cap hit if you think you've found the next QB!

 

[ak47kaehu]

So you're happy with early playoff exits. Cool. People need to stop being afraid of the unknown and be okay with jettisoning what clearly isn't working. It's the only way to move forward and fix what's broke.

Micah should be a LB, period. Otherwise he wears down during the season. He's not built to be anything else.
Ceedee I'm okay with paying at the moment, but not overpaying.
Dak should be (but won't be) a post June 1 cut. Sadly, Jerry will likely extend the choker but what can we do?

The unknown could send us spiraling into purgatory the way the Jets have been since forever......and I'm not happy with the early playoff exits.....I hate every bit of it!

 

[HotDog37]

Parsons would be ideal as a pass rushing OLB in a 3-4, like TJ Watt.

Since Micah runs about a 4.38 40 I would see if he can cover decently, have him drop 5-10 pounds and see if he can play safety. No more holding calls to deal with. Maybe at 232 pounds he runs a 4.35 40, and he would be deadly on a safety blitz.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Ceedee and Micah are still young. I understand the disappointment but aren’t we supposed to be a draft an develop team? Those two guys are top 5 in the league at their positions if we don’t sign them then what are we doing around here as a franchise ?

As for Dak I agree. He’s hit his ceiling we’ve seen what he is with 4 OC’s now and 7 playoff games. He’s a great fit for a mid franchise like the Bears or saints. He is not good enough to be QB for the Dallas Cowboys. It’s too much pressure for him.

THIS.

We're going to pay 3 players well over 100 million dollars per season when there's a salary cap. We're just going to get worse doing this not better. What is the point?

Trade Micah for multiple first round picks and don't extend Dak. Go ahead and pay CeeDee. Micah wears down as the season goes on, one day he'll lost his burst and he'll be an overbloated terrible contract.

This mentality that you can have an entire team of nothing but rookie contracts and mid range veterans is not how the NFL works.

You need all-pro players and all-pro players get paid.

Hmm, what coaches are out there who run elite 3-4 defensive schemes?

I know sam Williams has been a disappointment but his traits are also better suited to be a 3-4 LB.

 

[Pompey-Cowboy]

Keep cee dee, bin the other two. Dak will never be quite good enough and Micah can only get worse going forward.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Let’s look at our current personnel and how it might fit in the 3-4 scheme.

OLB-Parsons/?
OLB- S Williams/?
5 Tech- Golston /?
5 Tech- Osa/?/ Fehoko
NT- ? / Mazi
MLB- Overshown/Clarke
MLB- ?
CB-Diggs /?
CB-Bland/Scott
S-Hooker/Mukuamu
S-Wilson /Bell/ Thomas

Not sure Lawrence really fits the scheme unless you play it kind of like Baltimore does. They play one tweener , one utility edge, one 3 tech lined up at a 5 tech, and one massive NT. They of course have two stud MLB’s.

Trade Micah for multiple first round picks

Then what happens when they become All-PROS? Fans will run them out of town also.........count on it. Any time plays get close to their 2nd deal, fans start turning on them. I'm 100% confident a lot of it is just plain jealousy.

We are in purgatory, we get regular season prizes it ends there.

It is. Jealousy mixed with something I cannot say here.
