Listen to this Jerry

I don't think there's a salary cap in baseball. That's why the A's can't compete with the yankees. If you haven't seen it yet, watch Moneyball. It's a classic.



We have spent a lot of money on our own players. I didn't take it to mean just spending money in free agency.

We stopped doing that after Brandon Carr burned us (pun intended) but we used to go after some pretty big names in the past. Deion, Leroy Glover, Rocket Ismail, Marco Rivera, Ken Hamlin, Ryan McNeil, Anthony Henry, Greg Hardy.

We've drafted well over the years and we don't let our players sign elsewhere. Randall Godfrey is the last one I can remember. The extensions we've handed out are in the high hundreds of millions.

I hear you. But if they drafted so well, the players they resigned would win something. They overvalue their own. And are afraid of free agency.

They just asked Dodgers owner Stan Kasten how they compete for Championships every year. His answer was, "I hire the best people, and let them do their job." Just hearing that was the biggest of all punches to the nutz....had Billionaire Booger done that the last 30 years, can you JUST IMAGINE how many more Lombardi's we might have? Especially given there is no salary cap on coaches. Just thinking about it, makes me want to puke.

Yep. It’s what the winning owners of the last 28 Super Bowls all realized: If you are serious about winning a championship, you hire a talented GM, delegate authority to them, and hold them accountable for results.

Jerry is clearly not serious about winning a championship.

They do overvalue their players, there's no doubt about that. The problem is these players get too comfortable and that affects their play on the field. By the end of the season they're done, and that's why they don't show up to the playoffs. Ever.

We need to let some of these guys walk. If Zack Martin doesn't want to honor the contract he signed then we can trade him elsewhere but now we're stuck with an aging guard with a back issue.

It's like we learned nothing from the 90s with all the dead cap money from players we signed who were clearly nearing the tail end of their careers.

I would not have resigned Diggs or Dak and I said that before both of them were signed. Looks like I was right. I would have resigned CD. If we resign Micah I don't think I'll watch another game because there won't be any point. That will be 50% of the cap devoted to three players, two of which absolutely will not be earning it anyway.

Cap or no cap they hired the best gm and the best scouts. That's what the point is. We need an Andrew Friedman and Jerry's ego is to big to hire one.

I think the worst thing that happened to this franchise was winning Super Bowl 30. Everyone except Jerry could see we barely won it with what was left of Jimmy's players and anyone with common sense would know that was the very end of the dynasty.

Problem is that this MORON thinks he is the best You can't argue with a narcissist

Cowboys Franchise is worth a lot, but Jerry isn't among the richest NFL owners.
