If we're trying to get better, why keep the same guys?

[CCBoy]

Right. As I said in the OP, I’m not suggesting having a complete roster turnover.

I am saying how about bringing in some new, tough, playoff tested players who know what it takes to take it to the next level. We have won 2 wild card games the last decade. What’s wrong with some new blood?

But except for this past season, Dallas has been building up playoff experience in it's players.

Don't kid yourself.......Quinn turned that roster upside down with moves....was reading just today only 15 guys survived from the original 2023 53 man roster.

Without Daniels they aren't in the playoffs.
The defense was13th in yds allowed and 18th in points given up. Nothing special! They didn't have a RB rush for 1000yds. Daniels was the leading rusher with 891 yds. One #1 WR and a bunch of #3s. Quinn is going to be riding Daniels shirt tail for a long time.

The Dallas Cowboys - including current free agents - have as a team collectively won 2 wild card playoff games in the last 7 seasons. Yes they have made the playoffs 4 of those 7 years, but is this a mix of players we just can’t afford to lose? Sure some of them are worth keeping, but don’t we need some new blood, new leadership, a new drive to take it to the next level?

• Serious Question: If we are trying to get better as a team, be more competitive in the playoffs, and transform this soft culture into a tough playoff tested team, why are we so committed as an organization to keeping the same guys?
• It would be understandable if we had won more playoff games with these guys. We want to “run it back” with the same guys as if all we need is another chance?

I would like to see some cap space dedicated to some new players who have been on teams that have won lots of playoff games.

I’m not saying it has to be a complete roster turnover, but can we just not continue with the “we like our guys” mantra that has dealt us two wild card wins in 7 years? If we are going to get some valuable cap space, I would like to see some new blood brought in.

Otherwise are we not just doing the same things and expecting different results?

IF!!!!! you already know that IF is a "looser"(jerrah) word

Did Coop not turn our season around? The only position that has the more weight is the QB. Don't get mad because the FO didn't have good pieces around Coop. I've never seen one player besides a QB transform a team. So it's not that fact I don't understand what your saying. Your thought process is delusional. Consensus across the board even after Coop left was the fact he was a good pick up.

So you're OK giving up a 1/3 for one half season of success? Delusional is thinking it was a good trade. And what's wildly weird and hilarious is that you give Coop full credit for one half season, but remove all credit for the next 2 crapp seasons. Is that cherry picking or even worse than delusional?

You must hate Coop? What is it?

Ah, so that's what you call it. Got it.

Not even a little bit. Not the slightest bit personal. Coop is a good player and an excellent route runner.

I hate giving up multiple high draft picks for players we have to pay right away, and are often not here long. And I absolutely hated the trade because 1 WR was not going to put us over the top.

At least I understand our disconnect now. I hated the trade, you love the player. That makes sense.

It was not a bad trade because of Cooper, it was a bad trade because it was a bandaid on a monstrous problem and cost us way too much.

Hey, they signed a game changing RB today!! This guys so good he peaked as a rookie 4 years ago!

Stephen saw this thread and decided to just not to keep anyone nor sign anyone.

It's a win-win

it'll never be good with any of you the we like our guys thing we let them go and then you still have a problem with it look all teams let hundreds of guys go yesterday how else do you think they ended up on another team everyone's losing players it's free agency they're going to have to fill those holes and not necessarily get better I don't care what they look like on paper..

But not keep anyone? last I checked they signed

Wheat, OSA , Sieg, Hoffman, Bell, Thomas, and and there's a list of futures they signed Included Malik Davis and I don't know what really that means but they got signed. PS types

they picked up Williams and Jones...

Yes, Jlew loss was the one that hurt,

Gholston and edgoa were backups.no big deal..

that's day 1, 5 months to go.. Parsons will get done and more players coming.
