There's something called "the greater good" and that's the approach I'm taking. This isn't 1979 anymore where you had to slowly build your team from scratch. Now days, you find a super star QB, you're back in it almost instantly. For the love of God, let's tank, get high picks and go for a franchise QB. Trade CeeDee & Micah. Fire MM and get some fresh young innovative coaches in here. Let's start over because this entire roster the way it's been constructed isn't going to take us there. Rip off the band aid.

He's the real culprit. If we had the #1 draft pick I still would be worried that we'd blow it. And if we got a great QB would he be wasted here? Need more than just a QB and Jerry doesn't know how to build teams. But then again we have run out of options and something's got to change.
Hoping Stephen will do a better job.
Not trying to be morbid, but I don't see Jerry changing anything.
We just got to ride it out until Jerry passes/retires.

Jerry will never do that.
He is stuck, he knows he has a short time horizon.
He is hoping to catch lightning in a bottle.
Remember, he's a wildcatter.

Jerry won't change. Have no real hope that Stephen will either. At least we have our memories of when the Cowboys were great. Jerry keeps living off the ghosts of Dallas' Past. Some here think I'm a hater but in the 70's, 80's and 90's I lived and died Cowboy football. Just can't pretend everything is fine anymore. 30 years of failure and it's on one person.

I am not a hater either.
I have all this Cowboys apparel from the 90s.
I am embarrassed to wear it now.

I told y'all after the AZ loss that we aren't going anywhere this season without winning the division...and that is 100% not happening now. NO WAY IN HELL can Dak win three (3) straight playoff games....especially with at least two (2) of those games on the road. That being said, time to pray for the greater good....more embarrassing losses in order to 100% assure the exit of both Dak and MM. And while we are at it, I would be 100% in on trading both Lamb and Parsons....we need picks....not salary cap killers who both can easily be schemed against. BTW, this is LAZY offense masquerading as a balanced offense.
This is what I keep telling people. If it's a no brainer you want to extend Parsons, you absolutely can't bottom out and have to keep going for it every year. Otherwise, no reason to do it.

I tend to agree this thing needs to be gutted. We are only going so far with this core. That includes Dak, Lamb, Gallup, OL, Pollard, Parsons, DLaw, Diggs.

We have seen this so often with us in the past. The core's ceiling is a wild card win but can't perform against the top teams in the NFC when it matters most.

Too many people are getting off with little blame because all the focus is on Dak. Lamb has been a massive disappointment and looks disinterested at times. If he's not apart of the play, he loafs. And it tips off the defense. His act is getting old. Parsons act is getting old, too. Bullies the lesser teams and a non factor against better teams.

Dak hasn't been the same guy since that injury in the Pats 2021 game. Got injured again last year. That is 3 years in a row with injuries after going his first 4 years without even missing a snap. It's caught up with him. Time to move on. But have no idea where they go from him, especially after extending him. Cooper Rush is not a long term answer and if you really want to see what you have in Lance, start now.
