In light of Jerry's anger at being questioned

[HonoluluCowboy]

Right. Funny how Mike made Dak into a QB that led the league in TD passes and 2nd in MVP just last season. This season that same QB can’t hit the broad side of a barn and now his scheme is outdated?

The Oline and RB is to blame a lot.

Jerrys perfect fan ! Try taking into account the strength of schedule last year compared to this year . Dak can't pad his stats against quality teams . In fact, he shows his true colors . AKA : He stinks

 

[shabazz]

That's money out of his pocket.

Though for a man who just bought a $250,000,000 yacht it just adds to the Jones lunacy...

I sincerely believe that Jerry purposely signed Dak and Ceedee at the very last moment so he could avoid buying FA'S and simply pocket the money.

20 million pocketed is still big money to a miser that would walk five miles to buy a 25 cent hot dog

With Davante Adams To The Jets They Will Have a Better Record Than The Cowboys...BOOK IT..

It also has a coaching problem. A problem that could and should have been rectified right after the GB game.

Amen. My mantra since that game.

Where to get a good coach from when none of those wants to sign with us?

This is not the 90ties after 2 sb wins. DC and JJ are now a known comodity in the NFL. Brings them money and makes the owners rich. But is a loser when it comes to football. We are not able to get good coaches.

dont believe all that crap that he tells you. He is trying to sell his product. Henry, coming to Dallas. Yeah, my arse. Think what have happend to his career here and look at him at the ravens. He never was interessted in us.

You want ro achieve something in your sport. DC is not the place you wanna go.

You are a burnt out coach who the new NFL game has passed years ago?
You are looking for the spotlight to get some big contracts but you are a medicore player?
You can say all the right crap in front of the camera?

Those are the guys this franchise is able to sign. But not winners.

Reality.

Maybe but I firmly believe McCarthy is still here for financial reasons. You don't come out randomly and talk about dead money to coaches if you don't believe it.

I believe the fact he'd have to pay McCarthy to sit on his couch for a year was a factor in his decision making.

 

[Chasing6]

never forget that he once uttered "dead money" for coaches was an issue. And that's why Mike McCarthy is still here. Because Jerry is loathe to pay a head coach to not coach his team while having to pay for another guy to actually coach.

This team has a roster problem. It also has a coaching problem. A problem that could and should have been rectified right after the GB game. But Jerry is arrogant and even worse, Jerry has become cheap.

Changing coaches was the easiest and likely most impactful move he could have made, especially considering how he claimed over and over that there would be accountability after that GB game. Jerry punted on what should have been the easiest decision. If we can't expect him to do that right, then it's almost impossible to expect him to fix the roster, which is a far more complicated matter.

Jerry has to be the cheapest Billionaire in the world.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Jerry would do anything known to man to win a Super Bowl and if he could buy one the amount would be embarrassing.

He draws the line at paying head coaches dead money though. That's way too expensive.

But he's fine with paying zeke to not play here than paying him twice to play here again lol.

 

[Bullflop]

Thank God I don't work for the Cowboys' media and have to be silent about all Jerry's miscues. What a heavy cross to bear!

I’m not saying MM is the end all be all but he seems to be an improvement over the guys we have had since JJ (other than Parcells). When MM gets fired —let’s be honest here—-do you guys REALLY expect a knock it out of the park hire?

We can probably win a SB with MM. But I’m not sure we can win a SB with Dak. He’s just not very good against good teams. He’s a stat padder against bad teams.

He would rather lose games than pay dead money. That's so pathetic.

McCarthy is one of 500 people who could coach this team.

Uh, no, just no. We probably ain't winning a Superbowl with Dak since there are just too many holes to fill around him.

But we DAMN SURE ain't ever winning a Superbowl with McCarthy, no matter the roster. He's forever being outcoached.

Winning a Super Bowl is not up to Dak. It's up to the front office, remember?

 

[KMY_Amber]

Winning a Super Bowl is not up to Dak. It's up to the front office, remember?

It's up to the Front Office to deliver the players, and then it's up to Dak to get the most out of some solid players. The o-line is struggling, the RBs are struggling, so, yes, Dak is going to struggle too...especially with McCarthy preparing the offensive schemes.

McCarthy brings me no hope, never has, even with 12-win seasons. I simply could never see this team making a deep playoff run under his tutelage. Forever outcoached and outprepared....which is indicative of every 1st drive of every game, where it looks like the team watched ZERO film on the opponent.

Jerry went all-in on Dak, at least for a few seasons, McCarthy is a Dead Coach Walking, and Jerry knows that after 6 games. Jerry's already started looking for his next HC.

The Cowboys could improve this roster by trading a bunch of over-evaluated defensive players to various teams in need....so I'd entertain offers for Micah, Diggs, and D Law. The defense is pretty with all of them healthy, so just trade them now while they have as much value as they're ever going to have, and try to accrue as many 1st and 2nd round draft picks as you can. Basically, rebuild. Along the way, find your next young QB...draft one or trade for one.

The problem is JJ's approaching senility, so he hears the clock ticking. He ain't got enough cognizant years left to embark on a rebuild, but it's really his only option. No single player or coach is going to step in and change this team's fate. It's going to take multiple players and coaches arriving with new energy and skillsets. Most of us know, this roster ain't it...

Meanwhile. the 2-4 Jets are trying to get better.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Right. Funny how Mike made Dak into a QB that led the league in TD passes and 2nd in MVP just last season. This season that same QB can’t hit the broad side of a barn and now his scheme is outdated?

The Oline and RB is to blame a lot.

Regular season glory means nothing. The Packers showed us who the 2023 Cowboys really were........... and team completely ignored it in the offseason.

 

[triplets_93]

You really think firing Mike would solve the problem?

I like Mike but accept that his time is about up. That's fine, that's the way this league is.

But this is more a personnel problem than a coaching one. They lost seven or eight important players and didn't even try to replace them.

And you think another coach could make Dak read defenses faster or run better or stop panicking? Or stop anyone's offense with the worst defensive line in the league?

No coach on Earth can "fix" the Dak folding the playoffs problem.
Live with that.

 

[mmohican29]

I think it's easy for people to spend other's money. Yes they make a lot of money, but simply spending money on top of more money does not solve problems. It is HOW you spend the money that counts. Who would we have hired as coach this year? What kind of change over would it have caused on the rest of the coaching staff? How would it have affected current player policy and draft approach this past spring? There are a ton of moving parts to consider in firing McCarthy early, and they chose not too because of the coming rebuild. He was always going to be a lame duck coach this year.

Frankly, I said and still think this is a rebuilding year for the Cowboys. I think they know this. They are resetting the cap in light of CeeDee, Dak, and Parsons contracts. They want as many cheaper, young players as they can have on the team which is why they are letting them play it out and develop. I think they are going to turn over the roster a bit more after this season than in a normal year, and probably are on a 2-year rebuild to capitalize on the last part of Dak's career. They will probably sign him to one more contract if he delivers playoff wins on the back end of his current contract.

I think this was always the plan. Whether it works or not is anyone's guess. But I think the Cowboys shot their shot the last three years with the cap, the team was too soft, and it didn't pan out. What REALLY matters is their philosophy next year with a new head coach, and whether that philosophy aligns with current NFL trends (e.g. having good DTs, using motion on offense, etc..)

Given some player injuries, they will probably be better next year after getting some guys back. But they also need to be aggressive in turning over the bottom half of the roster and spending what cap money they do have as wisely as possible, while developing a consistent strategy from year to year like SF or Pittsburgh does.

Bro. The only plan the Jones have is to roll in the cash that we've surrendered as supporters of this **** show.

Now that that's lost momentum- he purposely fields one of the worst teams in the NFL. This basically invites other fandoms to travel to Arlington and party in his Thunderdome so he can take their money too.

At this point regular season glory sounds amazing.

Incorrect, and he's already stated he would not. Jerry's winning a super bowl is not one of his top priorities.
