My 2025 Resolution

[birdwells1]

Haven't drafted a 1st round QB since Aikman. Pedigree makes a difference.

As I sit and watch Justin Herbert

 

[birdwells1]

Jerry isn't going anywhere. The only chance this team has is finding an elite QB that doesn't play like a 3rd stringer when he gets into the playoffs.

Yeah we don’t have any hope if we can’t find a coach that can be the face of this organization

 

[Creeper]

That would go along with common sense and Ol Jerry don't seem to have any. But one would think that if Ol Jerry had any common football sense at all .He would hire some one to manage the salary cap for the Dallas Cowboys.Ol Jerry should be the poster boy for unsolved mysteries, Goodness Gracious .

Jerry thinks like a fly. Have you every watched a fly fly around your house? It goes one way then changes direction for no apparent reason only to change direction again. It has no real plan for the next 60 seconds, it just goes along until some environmental stimuli causes it to change direction. That's how Jerry runs the Cowboys. He doesn't really adhere to a plan or strategy, other than maybe not paying for free agents. He thinks his best option is to put the best team on the field within certain financial parameters. But his decisions are made in the moment, without any foresight.

 

[Creeper]

When has the cap come back to "bite" them? We said that after their last super bowl run. This what I'm talking about, Roseman doesn't care about 2029 because if he doesn't win then that'll be someone else problem. The Bills GM said the same thing about trade up for Allen, he said he had to because if he didn't get a QB he'd be out of a job anyways.

I have yet to see a team face any consequences for overspending future CAP dollars. They all seem to have ways to escape the problem to some degree. But $418 million in CAP money in voidable years of contracts is a new level of mortgaging the future. I don't think we have seen that before. $176 million in 2029 alone. Like I said, Maybe Roseman has a plan. But it is hard to imagine at this time what that plans is other than to gut the team. Then again, the Eagles have done this before. They went 4-11-1 in 2020 after winning the Super Bowl in 2017. Perhaps they are okay with winning a SB then dismantling the team and rebuilding it again. Maybe they are fine tanking their season in 2029 after going as far as they can with the bunch of players they have now.

If someone talks to me about the Cowboys issues and don't start with Jerry and Stephen Jones I won't even engage in the conversation. This is my new years resolution. People on this board talking about Dak and Parsons and their contracts, before that it was Romo and Dez before that it was someone else but through it all it's been the Joneses.This franchise has been blessed with pro bowl level QBing for 15 years and only gave up a 4th round pick to get it but still can't manage to even get to an NFCCG.

The Joneses have been blessed because we're actually living in an idocracy, no one wants to look deeper, no context, just "this player sucks" or "this player makes too much money" and while y'all doing that the Joneses continue to have circles ran around the by Howie Roseman. Roseman has signed Hurts 50 mil apy, Brown 32 mil apy and Smith 25mil apy and they only count as a total 33 mil against the cap but Cowboys fans want talk about Dak's contract. Roseman's motivation is different than the Joneses, see he HAS to win or eventually he'll be fired so his player acquisition looks different than the Joneses who, whether 17-0 or 0-17 are guaranteed to keep their jobs.

I need the Cowboy community to stop picking the low hanging fruit and start pointing out the real issue, if not they'll be another good to great qb that comes in here and the same thing will happen. How do I know... because history has already repeated itself.

Dak sux

 

[Whirlwin]

That's fine, but in 2029, they're going to have cap hell!!!!!!!

No, they’re not, Revenue increases every single year by then it will be more than a wash. Stop worrying about the salary cap.

don't tell me what to do it was a damn joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lighten up sheesh

 

[75boyz]

I get it sir. And you're not wrong about the Jones family. But I can't see that changing. Can you? So I try to concentrate on hoping for greatness from the head coach and QB of this team. GM, head coach, QB are the keys to winning in the NFL imo. We have a well below average GM. Which means we need greatness in our head coach and QB to offset the GM.
And I don't think MM and Dak will ever be put in the "great" category. It's brutal, I get it.

Exactly.
If you're 0 for 3 on GM, HC AND QB you're dead in the water.
These are your Dallas Cowboys.

The Cowboys need the most elite of the elite at the HC AND QB to win "in spite of" the Joneses.

And then to think that the Joneses could ever luck into hiring/drafting both an elite HC and QB duo to accomplish this mission of winning in spite of their meddling is another fantasy altogether.

Future not so bright.

Imagine having a FO with creativity

Imaging having a FO that held themselves accountable.

100% true and as you said, Jerry transcends any hc, QB, or players as the only constant in why we still can’t win a div game with 30 seasons to get it right. “A stopped clock is right twice a day”, but Jerry is never right about football matters. As BobHaze said recently, Jerry seems to be in tantrum mode and all directed towards the fanbase.

 

[ArtClink]

You mean a one-year rebuild after years of deep playoff runs and superbowl appearances? Sounds awful. Let's avoid that!!

What “years of playoff runs” are you referring to lol? A playoff “run” indicates you have won consecutive playoff games, something we haven't seen in 30 years.

 

[Xeven]

I gave up hope last year. Expected exactly what we got this year and don’t see much change for next year.

 

[BoysForLife]

I’m not interested in going through the same arguments that this board has had over the last 15 years or so. It gets old, it’s time to go at the root of the problem. Its like a couple that can’t afford to pay their mortgage but argue over what color to paint the walls.

You don't think Jerry's performance as GM has been a point of discussion for a while now?

If anything your take is like the couple that can't afford to pay the mortgage

I agree with you, Jerry is a huge issue.

But in case you didn't know, he's going to be our GM until he assumes room temperature and the minute that happens, Stephen is taking his spot. So talking about the issues at GM is the true waste of everyone's time. That's not changing and it's not going to improve.

In the meantime, we can (and should) hope for far better than what Dak is producing at $60 mil/year

If it bothers you that some people deal in those realities while you continue to exist in some magical fantasy world where Jerry could be anything other than a terrible GM, I don't know what to tell you.

 

[Chasing6]

That's fine, but in 2029, they're going to have cap hell!!!!!!!

Not if the extend their contracts or trade them away.
