My Thoughts, Day After

[LatinMind]

My subtle anger is gone today, still disgusted at Dak. Tired of his talk, just shut up and play the game. You did too much talking this yr. Excuses, and promises of taking care of the ball all yr. I'm at the point where if he's the qb going forward I'm OK with that, but if they start looking which I don't think they will, I'd be good with that too.

Elliot looked old but I just think the niners defense just can't be run on consistently. Pollard didn't do Jack either but sf still has to respect the speed. Elliot is a guy I'd go to for a pay cut or just release him. Ud eat dead money but you'd free up 5 mil or I think 10.4 mil with a June 1 cut. Cutting tyron saves another 5.6 mil too.

Then there's a guy like Martin who you can restructure freeing up alot of money from his 13.6 mil caphit.

Now realistically Dallas isn't getting rid of dak. Restructuring and extending dak imo is the way to go. But that would hike up that 2024 cap hit. So do they just let him play 2023 on that caphit. I think that could be the play because 2023s base salary is already guaranteed because of injury.

So with that I could see Dallas with around 20-25 in cap room. Expecting this you can then kinda figure they won't be signing any big FAs.

There's coaching, I think they lose Quinn, and if I were involved I'd insert Edward's as DC. Moore is not getting a HC job. So I think Dallas is stuck with him, I'd rather have schotenhemer running the offense.

I see areas of need.
RB, WR, TE, G, CB, LB, S, QB in that order.

I say RB because pollard is going to be out for awhile, I think the injury will allow Dallas to resign him cheap atleast for a couple yrs, and Elliot should be gone. I'd be good with a guy like Bijan robinson and another rookie later. Have them 2 team up with Davis and pollard later in the yr.

Those that think Jerry doesn't care are clueless. He was visibly broken in that post game interview in tears. Idc what people think of him. He deserves a winner.

He doesn't. He was also very "angry" at the loss last season. What did he do? Nothing. You may buy into his crocodile tears but apologizing to the fans and not changing behaviour is just lip service. If Jerry was really as sad and sorry as he said. He would hire a GM and go live out his remaining years on his yacht and show up at the games in his helicopter on Sundays. THAT would show me he actually cares.

 

[tyke1doe]

Dak is who he is. He's not going to get any better.
He'll wow during the season and also have us shaking our heads.
He'll get us to the playoffs, along with a strong defense.
But when we face a better team with better coaching, he won't deliver.
It's been eight years, and I've tried to be patient. But when I see commentator after commentator point out the missed throws to open Cowboys receivers, and any one of them could have resulted in a different outcome, I've seen all I need to see.

Sorry, but if we have Rodgers, Allen or, heck, even Purdy, we're playing the Eagles.

Ah...The Day After:

Jerry spent all his money buying a team that was losing money daily. He going to run it end of story. Dallas could win the superbowl and ud still be complaining. Let's not kid ourselves. That might seem like a jab, but that's just you and this whole forum would agree.

 

[Dallasfann]

It's actually odd. I wasn't very upset yesterday because I knew we lost the minute TP was being carted off and Dak threw that horrible INT at the end of the 2nd half...I knew it was over. I went from being 100 % convinced the Cowboys were winning to 100 % knowing we lost. It was such a weird moment. It was a light switch. I watched the entire 2nd half knowing we lost, even though it was still a close game. The QB play was the worst I've watched in a long time and our best player was gone. Pretty brutal ending to a season. I really hope the Cowboys find a way to bring in a new QB. I think it's impossible with Dak's contract and no trade clause, but boy do we need something different.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Good write up LM. Really appreciate the effort!

But (you knew it was coming) the biggest need on the Cowboys is QB. With a franchise QB they won't ever win a super bowl.

Just because you pay Dak franchise QB money doesn't make him one. Put Allen, Hurts, Mahomes, Burrow on this team and see what happens.

 

[ChuckA1]

Gosh, I see this totally different. How many years do they stay with these same results? Dak was poor against the 49ers last year and was equally bad this year. He played poor football in 2 of the last 3 games. Draft a QB or sign a good one in FA. Bench Dak until he choses to leave or can play good football consistently. Doing the same and expecting change is not going to work

Jerry cares, just not enough to do what needs to be done:
Firing himself.
So get ready for more of the same.

Jerry cares, but not enough to do what needs to be done. My anger isn't gone. Neither is my depression or feeling of hopelessness. Because opportunities like this don't happen often, especially when you have a Jerry Jones in charge.

Burrow would be so happy being on a team with an actual oline

 

[Wilson]

We might return to the playoffs with a solid core of players around Dak each year but his inconsistency will not allow for a string of wins against the best teams come playoff time. He never truly evolved and he doesn't appear to be capable of it. I don't want to waste more years pissing away opportunities like the one we had this season.

Pollard’s injury isn’t like an acl or Dak’s
A broken fibula is pretty standard with no long term impact
It will hurt him a little but not much

 

[jsb357]

We like our guys.
We gotta get better.
Have to bear down.
Take a look at the tape
Gotta work harder
I promise I'm gonna get better
rinse and repeat

Who needs "haters" when Dak fans turn on him because of 1 game erasing 7 years worth of defending his bad play.

My thoughts, day after:

This team stinks and will never see the light of an NFC Championship ever again, let alone a SuperBowl.

Ummm. My posting history is rarely complaining. I complained about the draft because I wanted them to go in a different direction. Are you confusing me with someone else? Because if we won the superbowl I would definitely not be complaining about anything.

 

[MyFairLady]

Just because the petulant cry baby throws a tantrum does not mean he cares. His track record on decision making shows what he truly cares about. He is not about winning football. he deserves everything he gets. It is the fans that deserve better.

Then get lost

 

[DasTex]

My thoughts are we are stuck in QB purgatory.

Paid like a top 10 QB, performs half the time like a top tier QB.

We are struck in the mud called Dak Prescott.

Best ways to win in the league:

Young QB on rookie deal where you can surround with talent.
Elite QB on big deal that can make those around them better.
