Not all companies have CEOs making millions. Most companies, in fact.
The one we're talking about does.

2 flaws in your thinking,
1. u dont work for a sports team whose goal is to win a certain trophy. A sports team is different from a regular business.
2. u dont make millions per year lol. so again this doesnt compare to regular jobs where people make 300 k a year or less.
For example 35 mil a year was not good enough for Dak, even though his 1 year would be more than all of us here combined lol, will make in a lifetime.
What is the difference between making 35 mil a year and 30 mil a year or 40 mil a year, nothing, the only difference is how much excess money
can a player have to play with or bank. It isnt money they need to live on lol. That is where it ventures into greed.
The salary cap is about to drop, and NFL teams seem to be tiring of high-priced middling veteran players that are constantly nursing injuries and making very little impact on season results.
I believe, like many others do, that we are about to see a sea of salary dumps in the NFL in the coming weeks.
I think Dallas needs to be one of those teams.
Big contracts don't make sense on below average football teams. When you're this bad defensively, and your offense is this inefficient at scoring touchdowns, you're not going anywhere anytime soon.
Keep the young studs you have, but look to trade or dump everybody else. Start over.
My fan side wants to go after Stafford or Rodgers, then try to nab some key defensive guys that are available. But that doesn't really make sense.
This is a fractured and dysfunctional franchise that needs to be honest with itself for once. This team isn't likable in the least. It doesn't really care. The best players are not the most committed players. It's a house of cards 365 days a year.
End this.
Why is the cap dropping?
I'm not at all up for starting over with the same cast of characters making the decisions.
They have a decent roster and no one in the league is unbeatable.
If they don't at least GET to a SB in the next three seasons, I agree....and by then Jerry is going to HAVE to make changes or even the most blind of fans is going to lose interest.
So....please....no starting over while Jerry still thinks he is the best man to build a football team.
A large part of your plan is to take the QB savings and spend it on free agents.
This teams track record on paying the correct people is awful.
The track record on signing decent players from other teams is atrocious on one level and non existent on another.
We need to take our chances for now on Prescott, and if it doesn't work out hopefully Jerry gets desperate and pulls another Parcells type hire.
THATs really our best hope here.
Not break it all down and let Jerry and sons try to build a team. That won't work either.
Is everything measured by winning a SB only?Did I miss something? Parcells didn't win a Super Bowl while in Dallas so you're idea is to bring in another coach that will do like Parcells and not win a Super Bowl? Parcells was a good coach when he was with the giants, but he did nothing when he went to the patriots and did nothing when he went to the jets. He was out of the league for 3 years before coming out of retirement to coach the Cowboys.

you been asleep all year??
The owners made a deal to take part of the future cap money to repay them for lost revenue , from no people in the stadiums!
That is why many teams just had no fans, why bother when they get that money anyway!
The cap normally went up each year, but now any excess money and part of the existing cap will go to the owners.
That was the deal that enabled us to have this season.
As far as I can see, it may be the same thing for 21 season. Just a repeat of this season.
Is everything measured by winning a SB only?
The guy turned around this franchise, and many others.
Either way.....if Jerry didn't pull his "thanks, ill take it from here" routine....Parcells would have had that 2007 team ready to play the Giants game. That much I know.
How many times are we going to "Start over"
More flaws in your thinking.1. A sports team is no different than a business. What are you, 12?! The NFL doesn't exist for recreation. The Cowboys aren't playing sports for fun. The players aren't playing football because they like to. It's a job for a business like any other. Acting like players have some kind of selfless duty to their fans, franchise, or owners is complete and total garbage. Especially so because both fans and the franchise will drop players like a bad habit the second they become unproductive, unprofitable, or old.
2. So because they're making so much money, they shouldn't want what they're worth? I would agree that, on the surface, 'I need an extra 2 million' would seem greedy to most people, if the owners--and really, the super wealthy class in general--werent also trying to maximize their already insane wealth. The super wealthy are constantly trying to evade taxes, crush competition, pay their workers on the cheap, so they can grow their vast sums of money.
But the second a player asks for more, and it's usually someone who came from nothing or very little wealth, fans have the nerve to call them greedy. For asking for a bigger piece of the pie from their owners who are, let's be honest, eating the whole thing
More flaws in your thinking.
1. No one is saying the players should play for peanuts.
2. Any player's worth is completely subjective.
3. The super wealthy is a completely different discussion and doesn't have any relevance in this discussion.
4. This bigger piece of the pie you're referring to comes from other players' paychecks.
The one we're talking about does.
1. No, you're saying they should accept less than they feel they deserve because they should care more about the team's salary situation than their own. Asking anyone to take less they deserve is wrong. And dumb, when not a single one of us would voluntarily do that ourselves.
2. Obviously. So how are they greedy when their evaluation of their worth is different than yours?
3. I brought them up as an example of what true greed is. Absolutely part of the discussion, when the discussion involves 'what is greed?'
4. That is true. BUT it is not the player's responsibility. It is the owners. If they want to have elite players on the team, they need to pay them like elite players. Which, unfortunately, means they have to employ less elite players. OWNERS ARE IN CHARGE OF THE SALARY CAP--not the players. The onus of fitting under the salary cap is not on the players, who are righteously trying to maximize their own pay. The onus is on the owners to make it work with the salaries they choose to pay. Players are not greedy for looking after themselves and pursuing the highest salary possible, they are completely justified. Owners (and fans) putting the onus on the players to take less than they are worth, so the team can maximize how many talented players they can employ, and at bargain prices, are the greedy ones. IN that, they want to eat their cake (employ as many elite players as possible) and have it too (but not pay any of them elite money)
