Mickey: No Doubt About This Win Now Mentality

Wow. You got me.
3 random years out of 30 isn't bad.
:rolleyes:
.
No reasonable fan believed.... never mind. Talking cowboys is too exhausting.
Just wait and see what happens this year.
Yep...it's one game at a time right now. There's pleny of time for told ya so's later!
 
Yes unless you want to not participate in that draft.
1, 2, 4, 6, 7
Those are the picks. Trade away that 1st, we basically have nothing.
Right now, I don't care about those draft picks. This year, right now, this team is good on paper. If people don't think Crosby is worth going after to help the team get over the hump, all I can say is I strongly disagree. Id give our 1st for Crosby right now, Brevard I'm worried about this and next season more than I am about a future draft pick.

I have to disagree. I’ve always felt this was at least a two year process, regardless that we seemed to do well this past offseason. I’d rather wait and see what we have first then make a decision closer to the trade deadline.

Thats the way I see it. Its a building year. Im not expecting a good season. I just want to see improvement on the defense and penalties. Then Try and fix what still needs to be fixed next offseason then maybe they can make a run the last 2 years of daks contract.
 
Do they need another player?
I don't think they do at this point. They need to see what they have now. Then go from there.
This is a measured way to go about it.

Unless some incredible bargain suddenly springs up thats too obvious to pass up, stay the course.

Show us that we are 100% comfortable at LB, CB, etc before splurging on a Max Crosby rental

Incredibly hard for a defense to go from 30th to competing for a chip in just one off-season.

Two offseasons seems to be the minimum unless one has a GM like Les Sneed or Roseman, lol

Seattle added a new qb and won it last year. This ain't like the old days. Teams turn over the roster by 25% every year. In 2 years half the team will be different.

I've reached the point, after 30 years of failures, that I just want to see the team go for it, even if it crashes spectacularly. Whatever that means, whatever that takes, I'm up for it.

We've been in the process of returning to an NFC Championship Game multiple times, but we haven't gotten there because we always have a weak link that the Joneses have not used all aspects of roster building, whether it was downplaying the draft after Jimmy left or becoming cheap in free agency. There have only been a few years (under Parcells) where we actually focused on the draft and bringing in quality free agents at the same time. Too bad we wasted some of Parcells' time here before we finally figured out the quarterback position at the end of his run.

I'm not saying trading for Maxx Crosby guarantees a Super Bowl. I'm just saying that would be going for it and I'd be willing to accept the consequences of that over not doing enough to get the job done.

I’m right there with you brother. I just don’t think we’re close enough to take that giant step yet. We aren’t a Max away. I would be happy to be wrong though.

I believe we'll be saying that every year because this isn't the type of team that withstands the test of time. Maybe Pickens leaves next year because he wants too much. Maybe Dak retires. Certainly several players on one-year deals will likely head out the door.

I don't believe in the waiting process anymore. We've been a draft and build team for years now and it has gotten us nowhere. I say take a swing for the fences and if you come up short, then you bottom out and have to actually rebuild instead of thinking you can just reload.

Not arguing with you and I’d normally agree. If this has been Schotts third or fourth year, then yes, do it. I’d prefer to give him one more year to see if he can build on this year. If Jerry butts in again, then we’re screwed regardless.

In 2014 we didn't get there because Demarco Murray fumbled. In 2016 we didn't get there because Aaron Rodgers pulled off one of the most spectacular scramble plays ever seen in the playoffs. Shut can happen.

I think that reflects the problem. The defense wasn't quite good enough either of those years. A few choice free agent additions or strategic trades might have made the difference. The past 30 years show us that we will continue to be also-rans unless we do something different to change that.

In 2014 the defense didn't coast us the game, the offense and that fumble cost us the game. Well... that and the ridiculous no catch call.
