We have spent so much money on runningbacks and WR's and now our foundation is falling apart and the Dak bill is due.
I just don't see how we are going to overcome Dak's contract and somehow quickly improve this team. It's going to take years.
Jaylon Smith? Terrible contract
Lawrence? Terrible contract
LVE? Not reliable
Once Dak is signed the only way to improve this team is with rookies and we've been basically doing that since he has got here and we have nothing to show for it.
I wish Dallas wasn't so in love with their QB. I wish they would look to the draft and save themselves from locking us down into mediocrity.
We've lost almost all hope for doing anything this season and the Cowboys only redeeming quality is that our division is so bad.
McCarthy looks like the fraud I said he was. I still have hope but I hated this hire.
It's just bad and we desperately need to add a transcendent player or coach to this staff to even give us a chance to overcome all of this.
Dak, like Romo, just can't overcome all of our problems and paying them all that money just makes them insanely rich and the Cowboys insanely average.
Someone please give me a shred of optimism for this teams future....
Until Ownership comes to its senses and relinquishes control over football operations to a qualified professional, things will not change. There is no competent, reigning voice like there was with Landry, Johnson and Parcells. Jerry wants to be be the marquis name associated with the Cowboys and he has achieved that. Contrats Jerry, you are the face of the franchise. Take away revenues and you have nothing. You don't win, you don't command respect as a football team and the future looks bleak.
The personnel decisions are mind boggling. How many NFL franchises have wielded domination through the WR position? Lamb is a wonderful player, but when evaluating the state of the 2020 Cowboys, was BPA the right strategy in the draft? How about looking for suitors for a trade out of the pick and adding more young players to the roster. Of course there is no guarantee with this strategy, but lean on your scouts and personnel people to recommend some good prospects to add to the defense. Players who can contribute, compete and add some fury to special teams. The Cowboys have been successful with players from later rounds in the draft, particularly after the second round. How many games have the Cowboys won this year because of their stacked WR unit?
What were they thinking when they let M. Collins go, but sign Wood. Picked up those two washed up DTs in FA, one off the team already and the other doesn't seem to show up on Sunday? Get rid of a serviceable S like Heath for who? Dix? Thompson? Ridiculous!
The OL is in transition now and at least they seem to have the ability to plug some guys in who can play. This is the one area of the team that is being managed with some semblance of competency. I attribute that mainly to the Coach of the unit.
There are a number of contracts that have been given players over the past couple of years that are bringing this team down from a lack of production and salary cap strain. This is nothing new for Cowboys Football, old habit, same outcome.
I had high hopes for McCarthy, but he has been a bust thus far. He and Moore have gone Air Coryell and the flip side of Mr. Coryell's contribution to football was usually a lack of defense. Add in boneheaded decisions at critical moments for McCarthy and we have a very familiar look in Dallas. McCarthy's Staff is unimpressive, and when you look back at the three coaches I recognize above for this franchise, check out the guys they had on staff as coordinators and assistants. Pretty damn impressive list.
Please, blow this thing up.
