Impossible to win unless the QB takes a discount

[kskboys]

I wonder if $5M would help?

Yes, it does. Especially when you need big dudes to stop the run.

Exactly why Trance was a complete waste of time.

I think so. Now that he's ours I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it. Trance = Paxton Lynch.

Wasted money and a pick for a guy who will never touch the field. GM Jethro at his finest.

I never did understand why we did the trade. Especially since we then never played him. How in the world didn't he get a few snaps?

Timing of the trade and contract ending at same time as Dak's just did not make much sense.

Dak is to expensive for his post season production.

Hmmm.......not sure you understand how profitable playoff games are.

Fans don't care about playoff game "profits" (unless they have a connection to the team that benefits them financially).

I think you just repeated what you said previously.

Yes, 10 mil could make a difference.

Between an average and championship team? So we are one slightly above average FA player away?

Wow. What a roster!

Fans don't make the decisions. Jerry does. Jerry cares about post season profits.

This is why we are stuck where we are.

Opted? You mean insisted.

Opted, made a choice

Didn't state fans make the decisions.
I just responded to your point about the Cowboys making money with each postseason game.
Fans care about getting postseason wins - that's all.

Nope. Fought over the contract because he insisted on a shorter term. There was no opting.

I think what you're doing here is called really fake hoopla for no reason. Pretty bad post.

I think Jerry would rather have a post season loss than no post season at all.

Well it's simple.

I asked if 5, 10M is the difference between an average team and a championship team. You said 10M would make a difference but couldn't admit that it's not the difference to be a championship caliber team. In essence avoided.

BTW, this past year we had 10M on cap space and last year almost 20M.

Contract negotiations can go a number of ways, depending on the wishes of both parties. It was well chronicled at them time of negotiations that the team wanted a longer term deal for cap relief/flexibility.
Dak's team chose to fight for a shorter term to maximize profit when the TV deals kicked in.
That's a choice.

After free agency I think we are back to just being an average team.
