McCarthy was the driving force pushing Amari Cooper out

bull.
it was jerry.
it was jerry who said when you walk thru those doors "its a we thing...not a me thing".
amari ran afoul of jerry.
in my personal opinion...this sounds like revising history.
if it was mccarthy,it would have come out long before now.

I don't agree. I think Gallup's production and Cook's production was a product of who they have become as receivers. Gallup never got back to form and Cook has slipped to where he's no more than a No. 3. Part of the reasons our offense wasn't as good this year, even early on when the offense was fairly healthy, is because we had no threat as the No. 3. The best receiving threat we had outside of Lamb was Turpin and McCarthy seemed either afraid of using him more or just didn't trust him enough.

Maybe some of Lamb's production goes down with a better No. 2, but maybe our overall production goes up because we have a decent No. 2 threat. One of our goals this year needs to be finding a better No. 2. Let Turpin be the primary No. 3.

Again, it’s a 2 read offense.
As Olsen pointed out in multiple games that first season Lamb and Ferguson were the 1st/2nd option in over 70% of the plays. Even if Cooper bumped it to 60/40 II wouldn’t justify the 20 million.

The reason McCarthy didn’t play Turpin more at receiver was because he’s a lousy route runner. His running a lazy horrible route lead to the interception in the end zone vs Detroit that precipitated Aikman talking about poor route running by the teams WRs!

The second receiver, if he's a threat, draws attention away from that No. 1 receiver, thus either making him more effective or becoming the target the QB looks for. The first season in McCarthy's scheme, defenses still respected Cooks enough to not just focus all of their attention on Lamb and when they did focus on Lamb, Ferguson was effective enough for us to still make a play. However, teams like Green Bay understood that Cooks wasn't good enough anymore to draw attention off Lamb. This year, neither Ferguson or Cooks was good enough so Lamb was the only real threat we had.

I disagree with you again. You get what you pay for. Cooper with Lamb would have been a much more effective 1-2 punch than what we've had without Cooper. If the idea is you can't pay this player that much or you can't play that player this much, then you've become Jerry Jones. We need more top players to supplement this roster, not to give away the ones that we have to replace them with lesser. You move on from players when you've got better options, a No. 3 receiver coming off an ACL tear was not a better option.

Well that’s the reality of today’s NFL.
They could have dropped 20m base on a WR and neglected the rest of the team. If I remember correctly that 20m that first season was used to pay for the franchise tag on the TE, resign Armstrong, Vander Esch, Kearse and sign Fowler.
In McCarthy’s final full season in Green Bay his 1st and 2nd option combined for around 2500 yards. CD and Ferguson as the 1st/2nd option combined for around 2500 yards. The packers did it with Jordy Nelson and an emerging Davantae Adams on a rookie contract. Remember what happened to Nelson when it became apparent it was time to move Adams to the #1!

I can't post the twitter link for some reason but bobby belt is going off on the 1053 the fan this morning. Talking about Dak and Mike's not liking each other and alike being paranoid about Dan Quinn. How Mike pushed amari out and it pissed off the locker room. Wild stuff.

But...but...but Troy Aikman said the problem is Jerry doesn't "empower" his head coach:

“I think Mike McCarthy is an outstanding football coach,” Aikman said. “He's proven that in this league. … But you also have to empower that head coach. And that's been what has been missing in Dallas since Jimmy Johnson walked out the door.”

There's no plan: Troy Aikman speaks hard truth about undesirable Cowboys head coach o https://fansided.com/there-s-no-pla...-about-undesirable-cowboys-head-coach-opening

According to the video up above by Bobby Belt, well, it sure sounds the opposite of McCarthy not being "empowered".

:popcorn:
 
Yeah, but Big Mac would be a great fit if Booger could get him at his price for his length, and have a dumpt clause with no penalty.

Sure this all makes complete sense. Now that Booger can't hire him on his terms, Big Mac was a terrible coach.

Bah! Not buying any of it
 
I'm sure Jerry will do all he can do to pass the blame off for the Amari Cooper debacle.

Don't buy it. You know better. There's a reason why this comes out now after McCarthy is gone.
 
Amari was being lazy! He didn't block at the end of 49ers playoff loss. Had he made his block Pollard had room to run. The tape of that is what sent Amari packing.

I hear that it was McCarthy that actually brokered the deal between Dallas and Cleveland for a fifth round pick...

Yeah, blame Mike for Dak problems now that hes gone LOL, clown show
 
Not buying the Amari story. If it was MM that pushed Amari out, then why was Jerry trash talking him in the press? You will never convince me it was MM. It was all Jerry.

TBH, I wasn't that upset with trading Amari Cooper. He is not my type of player. He disappears for half the games he plays and if you look at his record for his entire career you see it was not just with Dallas. My problem with the trade was we gave him away for a 5th round pick. I never would have given him away for that. We paid a 4th round pick for Lance - and Mingo and neither of those players are anywhere near the caliber of player Cooper is.

yes but amari did that to make jerry mad lol.
he wanted an extension and dallas wouldn't give it to him.
dallas thought he was overpaid, and he thought he was underpaid.
the contract flip he let CLE do, he refused in dallas to lower his cap hit and he refused to practice saying he had to rest his foot.
thats mike mccarthy didn't like him.

amari has now become disgruntled 3 times in this league.
i really need people to gain the mildest understanding on this topic.

almost none of this is true. but you need US to gain the mildest understanding??? :facepalm:
 
Sounds like Jerry is using his sycophants to do his bidding again...
