Mike Martz's take on Trey Lance

[SultanOfSix]

That is why GM Jethro needs to engage in the rest of the areas of building a roster.

He can’t do that with a QB who takes up thirty percent of the salary cap and “craps the bed” in the playoffs.

that was Dick Vermeil, I thought?

After a poor 1998 season offensively, the St. Louis Rams VP in 1999 suggested to HC Vermeil to hire Martz as OC - and Vermeil agreed.
Martz then requested the Rams acquire Trent Green from the ReddFoxskins to replace their 3-year starter-malcontent- failure Tony Banks - and they did just that. That moved then 3rd string Warner to backup QB.
Then Green sustained a serious injury in a preseason game - and the rest is history.

Dak signed a 4 year $160M contract. That is $40M a year. If our GM is dumb enough to push his contract back to $59M, because of the dead cap space of Zeke and other dumb decisions he made that is his fault.

Can you praise GM Jethro's roster building?

How are they mutually exclusive???

Please explain.

Always an out for Dak . We’ve been down the decade long playoff drought success with Romo now we’re repeating . I’ve seen enough . I’m ready for a change at the position .

 

[RonWashington]

Let Dak play out 24 with the current contact . Extending sounds insane . Same with MM glad Jerry can get out from under the current contracts of both after the last whistle of 24 .

Nothing will change. It will be the same result.

This is the guy who didnt see that he had a pro bowl QB on his roster - Kurt Warner. Only started him when a clearly inferior starter got injured. Warner's NFLE scouting reports graded him as pro bowl calibre - so Martz had no excuses.

Who the heck saw Kurt Warner as anything special? Dick Vermeil is the one who planned on starting Trent Green until he was injured. It’s not like Belichick knew what he had in Brady until he had to play. Warner got an opportunity and made the most of it.

Agree. I was simply expounding on what you were saying!!!!!

Only thing I don't agree w/ is "great scheme". When your scheme depends on the OL holding their blocks for huge amounts of time, then that is a poor scheme.

I get your take, but it's hard to deny that the greatest show on turf was something special in it's genesis. Defenses did eventually catch up to it, and the Rams did get older, but that offense won the Rams a championship after nearly a decade worth of losing seasons. I can't reasonably say it was a bad scheme. Just dated by the end of their run.

Fault and blame. Nice.

I don't give a hill of beans what Mike Martz has to say about anything.. Cowboys need to find out what Trey Lance has to offer, and more importantly, why the 49ers gave up so much to pick him 3rd. overall in the draft 3 years ago??

More importantly why they gave up on him after 2 years for a 4th.

It's not that the D's caught up w/ it, it's that the OL got old. The greatest show on turf was primarily about downfield passing which requires a great OL. As soon as that great OL started aging, the O didn't work anymore.

To add, the only year they won the super bowl, they had the #4 D in the NFL.

No, unfortunately you will see more of GM Jethro.

Dumb enough? Dak's greed has to be factored in as well, he forced shorter contract to be able to demand more money in a few years. They didn't have a legitimate back up plan then, they went out and got one now.

No they still don't have one, but that must be Dak's fault as well.

That's an easy answer: BROCK PURDY.

No it's really not. Year 3 he was less than $1M. Darnold was over $4M.

Then they had to find a new back up QB for this year.

There's a large group of fans on this forum that think changing the quarterback (Dak) is the magic formula that will make all this team's problems go away.

Guess they weren't paying attention between 1996-2015.

There's a large group of fans on this forum that think by keeping our current Deer in the Headlights Dak Cousins Choker and click our heels that magically all this team's problems will be fixed .

Guess trey weren't paying attention between 2015-2024
