If We Went ‘All In’ This Year, Which Position Do We Trade The Farm To Upgrade?

[TheMarathonContinues]

thats a horrible analogy. The warriors had just won back to back titles and had won more games than any team in NBA history if I remember correctly before KD arrived. The rams had not won squat for 2 decades before Stafford arrived.

The Rams just made it to the SB years prior. Did they win it? No. But they still made a SB. More than we can say or most teams. And i'll tell you what nobody says they made that SB because of Jared Goff.

So Matt Stafford is the only one who could get Donald a ring? This is silly lol. McVey had nothing to do with it. Donald had nothing to do with it. Not Kupp...no it was Stafford. That's like saying the Warriors wouldn't have won a ring if not for KD lol. Just a very strange take.

I would say that we have to point to the Rams FO also , as the key to getting to super bowls

They go all in every 4-5 years , get to a SB, get in cap hell, and than blow the whole thing up

They are the ones that got the Donald’s, Staffords, and Beckhams of the world. They don’t build teams the conventional way, lol

I was going to say something about draft choices for Mahomes (4 1st rounders). But it starts at quarterback.
However, I will say this is a prove-it year for Dak. He has a relatively easy road to at the very least the NFC Championship Game.
There are no franchise quarterbacks in the NFC this year.
There are no super teams.
Because we play the Eagles, we know them and are better suited to beat them.
Our defense is going to be better especially if Mazi is the real deal and if Sam Williams has his expected second-year growth.
And, oh, there's Micah.
Dak just can't mess it up. He has to play within himself, especially in the post-season.
Despite how disappoint I have been with the Cowboys over the years, this should be our year, barring injuries to key players.
This year has Dallas Cowboys NFC Champions written all over it.
We just can't blow it like we did last year.

Perhaps there are some Philadelphians who'd take issue with your assessment above. Many there think their dual-threat, 'coach on the field' Hurts is a franchise QB1, that other teams covet. their words, not mine.

I’m would give up four 1sts for Mahomes in a heartbeat. I could probably get 1 back to trade Dak away anyway. Honestly that’s a no brainer. That’s not to slight Dak, but Mahomes is generational

h to get them the ring that's what has to happen, I wouldn't call Stafford trash I think you're going overboard but I get your point and I agree it took a total team the play all at a high enough level at the right time to get them the ring that's what has to happen they already had the foundation you are correct but Matthew Stafford is basically Tony Romo he's not trash but he has his warts but he also has a lot of upside and he was on a good enough team to help cover up some of his bad moments.

that's what Prescott needs right now, I mean he's not the only one that didn't show up against the 49ers two straight years we have the offensive lines been the most consistent disappointment the last three playoff losses they're not opening holes they're not blocking well and it's creating issues but we also saw Gallup not finishing his route correctly turned into an interception we saw Dalton Schultz make two mental mistakes on the same drive late in the game we saw diggs not make plays when he could have we didn't see any other players making good plays we didn't have a run game not a good one I mean two yards per carry on average for the running backs and then Pollard gets hurt they don't even use Malik Davis so then coaching comes into it yes we need the team to play better as a whole and as a unit to get hot at the right time and make the least amount of mistakes and if they do make a mistake they need to come together and overcome it

2016 rogers killed our defense offense played well.
2018 rams game defense failed, no run game OL just wasn't good enough
2021-11 penalties by the OL itself 3 by the D no run game poor blocking
2022- no run game, poor blocking ,d was great but failed to make a few key plays that a truly dominate D with nickname would make, yes dak 2 INts but could have used some help, didn't play well but had reasons.

Saying Stafford is trash is hyperbole on my part. You can do far worse than him but I do think you could do better as well. But there is no way in hell i'm giving him credit for the Rams winning that ring. If McVey had his way i'm sure there were 10 other guys he'd rather have but Stafford became available.

Stafford deserves his credit for the SB run i'm just disagreeing with giving him credit for the Rams winning a SB over Donald. To further represent how crazy that is Kupp was MVP of the SB....

I agree with you though.

22 was bad and Dak was a big part of that...but unfortunately the defense dropped some huge opportunities that would've helped us win.

 

[McMicah]

Name one time in the last 10 years where there was a major NFL June or July trade like what you are suggesting by any of the 32 teams...

And I'll continue reading this thread.

Sorry if I'm too old and beat-down for wild hypotheticals.

Brother, it’s June. We are all bored. This could apply any time between now and the trade deadline if that helps. The whole point of this site is opinion, speculation, and wild hypotheticals. Even most of the news articles shared are just us listening to ‘professional’ speculators.

Enjoy it man. Let that hair down, take a deep breath……And then tell me what position you’d trade for!

 

[beware_d-ware]

I'd go all in for a WR. Second most valuable position in football. And in particular, Dak usually plays no better than his supporting cast.

Letting Cooper go and giving his money to Gallup cost us the Divisional Round last year IMO. The defense had the Niners on the ropes, CeeDee was freaking out with a 10/113 stat line, and no other receiver we had could generate more than 28 yards. It was pathetic.

And a lack of a #2 WR may cost us another playoff game this year, if Gallup comes out flat again or Cooks underachieves. Salary-dumping Cooper was an absolutely titanic mistake.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

We definitely need to acquire a talented veteran corner and receiver. Oh wait. . . .

I guess you don’t count winning the NFC Championship in 2018 anything ?

 

[Diehardblues]

Do we have a kicker yet?

I’d feel better with a veteran RB in case Pollard goes down.

 

[Diehardblues]

The Rams just made it to the SB years prior. Did they win it? No. But they still made a SB. More than we can say or most teams. And i'll tell you what nobody says they made that SB because of Jared Goff.

And their defense which battled Brady and Pats 13–3 in SB.

Goff still has some potential. Lions could be a team to watch out for this year. He’s not as bad as some think . Just been inconsistent.

I like Goff. I liked him last season. He's improved a lot. I'm just speaking on the Goff at that time and he wasn't very good. Well he wasn't playing good football at that time.

McVey makes that work. IF any other team did that stupid nonsense they'd be the Texans....well they stunk last year. Trading your 1st rounder every single year since 2016 is insane. I don't knock them for it because it worked for them but it worked having McVey as HC.

 

[Whirlwin]

Running back

 

[Whirlwin]

Before Donald Stafford was wingless. Donald got to a SB before Stafford got there. Stafford barely sniffed the playoffs. Common sense what the deciding factor and it’s not the perennial loser that Stafford was. Let’s remember Megatron was so secure with his QB position he retired in his prime.

This guy is a clown busting your chops on purpose

 

[Coogiguy03]

Obviously this is hypothetical, but if Jerry voided the ability to resign our studs and went all in to win a SB this year, what’s one position you’d trade major draft or $ capital to get?

I know many might say OL, RB, LB, or TE, but for me it’s 3T. I’d go get Quinnen Williams from the Jets or make some similar move. As it stands right now, it’s basically just Osa back there. You can hope that Gallimore miraculously improves or Gholston/Fehoko surprise everyone, but we seem VERY shallow at a crucial rotational position

Why would it make sense to get him, are you ready to spend about 20 million a year to keep him

nope....... he compared a team that had a solid season with a team that was the best team in the nba by a wide margin. There is no comparison.

I was only responding to your comment which said Rams hadn’t done nothing in 2 decades.

I think most would describe a Super Bowl as more than nothing.

2 Super Bowl appearances with 2 different QB’s in 5 years isn’t bad Mgmt. I think most Cowboy fans would take that this era.

And with their HC might not be done. NFC is down. Never know what they might could do.

The Rams were highly regarded as one of the best teams in the NFC if not the best team. They made a SB. They were a Super Bowl team prior to getting Stafford is the point. You're choosing to miss the analogy because it strays away from the opinion that the Rams were good prior to Stafford.
