Just maybe The Jones have come to the same conclusion many of us fans have

You’re probably another one who thinks great QBs grow on trees. Just use a high pick on a QB and BINGO.

you dont need to use a high pick on a QB, Romo was an UDFA, Dak was a 4th, oh and uh... Purdy was Mr. freaking Irrelevant!

 

[NotForLong]

I want to believe this theory but the Jones’ just seem too in love with the guy to let him go for nothing. I see a massive extension that probably has the no trade clause taken out.

Really?

 

[NotForLong]

If they roll the dice and let him walk after next season, things will likely get much worse than they are now and that could last a number of years unless we get lucky with another QB. At Jerry’s age I’m not sure he’s going to be willing to take that gamble.

Serious

 

[NotForLong]

They certainly won’t get better if they don’t extend him and end up with a lesser QB. It’s also going to be hard getting better drafting 2 QBs a year when you only have 7 draft picks. That wouldn’t be a smart approach. We need players on the field, not carrying clipboards.

We are past that hr is the lesser QB

 

[kskboys]

We have $5.5 million cap space right now and add $9.5 million on June 1st. That's $15 million which is way more than what we need to sign draft picks. We just wait until June to sign the draft class. If you want more space then just convert Trevon Diggs' salary into a bonus and boom you have another $8 million of cap space. That would give you $23 million in CAP space.

Also, our rookies shouldn't require much CAP space this year. Our 24th pick may be $3 million cap space, 56th pick $1.2 million cap space, and the other 5 picks combined about $5 million in Cap space. So you have about $9.2 million cap space wrapped up in rookies. However, to get those 7 players on the roster then you must remove 7 players who are already counting against the cap. Say each of those 7 you are removing are lesser paid and only counting $800K each against the cap. Then you remove that $5.6 million (7 players at $800K) off your cap. So even though the rookie draft picks are using $9.2 million cap space you already had $5.6 million of that being used so we are only taking an additional $3.6 million cap hit by signing our rookie draft class. In the scenario above with restructuring Diggs, we still have almost $20 million of cap space after signing the draft class. Without restructuring Diggs we have about $12 million.

And there, my friends, lies the road to mediocrity.

The Jones have come to the same conclusion many of us fans have. Our situation is this, 1. Our QB isn't good enough to take that big of a cut of the cap space and we win a super bowl. 2. You can't field the kind of team around him to win it for the same reason. So what do you do? Resign him and continue to be mediocre, or roll the dice let him walk next year and start a soft rebuild this year? With the way they have approached Free agency so far the writing is on the wall.

The Jonesboys will make the worst move. It's how they roll.

If they do that, we have no hope of sucess any time soon.

Drain the swamp

People say "at Jerry's age" all the time like it means anything Jerry has purposefully not done what he needs to do to win it all for almost two decades. He could have had probably 2 more rings since 2016 if he had just given up some control to a real coach. He's not worried about it now.

Jerry's goal is to get to $10B.

 

[Dorsett33]

Dak is not good enough to eat much cap space period. Paying him what he demands kills any hope of building a good team around him.

Both of your statements are not true. Where did you see his demands? And if he did, why can every other team still get what they want and Dallas can?

 

[JW82]

Most of our conclusions are that the Jones suck.

And you are another that would keep Smith and not sign Mahones. BINGO. Whatever that means. You have no vision. No hope. I'd hate to be you.

Keep Smith? Who are you talking about?

 

[Wildcat711]

I know this sounds crazy, but there are exactly 10 top 10 qbs in this league. Dak was in the running for MVP lat year. Teams routinely burn 1st and cap on worse qbs. Maybe there's a team who believes Dak can win in the playoffs if he has a run game and a run defense. The odds are in our favor. That said the Jones boys could barely muster a 4th for a 27 year old Cooper, so yeah.

Ahhh your first sentence made me LOL

 

[Jimbo69]

Alex Smith.Dont you watch the NFL?.

so what if it get worse you can't let one guy hold your team hostage we move on..

I agree. How to we fix GM Jethro from holding our team hostage?

 

[KJJ]

Sounds like you want to get worse. Every team that has a good QB is paying them big. You can’t just let your franchise QB walk so you can sign other players.

 

[KJJ]

You’re not making any sense. KC used a top 10 pick on Mahomes which is why they moved on from Smith. He was just a stopgap. Go compare his numbers to Dak’s. lol There’s a reason Smith was in his third team.

Dak did nothing when he had some good cast around him ,so you think all of the sudden after so many years he will wake up and carry the team? specially with so many holes we have to fill?

He did nothing? You might want to check his W/L record and our four division titles which are the most since Aikman was our QB. We’re not going to win anything with our garbage playoff defenses regardless the QB.
