Lets be fair, the first rule of Cowboy fanship, is dont listen to Jerry.....he'll do/say anything to be relevant.
Indeed, we're in this position IN 2025 because, in part, Jerry didnt do the exact opposite of the ALL-IN, he should of taken the hit in 2024 (if he was allowing the Fowlers, Armstrong's, Hankins) and trade away the: Dlaw's, Zack, Osa and J-Lew (and wait on Dak, to see what he could do with a 'lesser' roster). Evaluate what happened, decide on a coaching set up, decide on the strategy (inc Dak) and use the aforementioned draft capital (from the above trades) to produce a team consistent and to complement the new HC's gameplan.
But of course Jerry does it backwards, based on: Must Spend, to get media attention, must be seen to be competing.
What he's just said, should of been the mantra for last season....indeed he's always a year out, the ALL-IN, was actually 2023, though he couldnt do that properly (eg no Henry).
