Player Acquisition vs Attitude

Blackrain said:
The players attitudes on this team mirror their owner they're all about making money marketing and supporting the brotherhood.

Hard for players develop a tough winning attitude when their owner blatantly doesn't care about winning and won't go all in.

Probably doesn't take long for players that come here to adopt the attitude of getting paid and protecting your career

More fan myth.
All players form all sports are about the money.
It is not just here.

Have you not noticed all the threads about other teams and players. Trades and releases and such.

It's around the time of free agency, everyone is talking about it on here. I ask you what good is bringing in players to this team, if we don't have the right attitude and mental makeup to beat teams we often struggle with?? We could bring in every top free agent, but if we're not mentally and physically out playing these teams, what are we doing?? Sure we need to fill the roster, but the attitudes must be right in all 3 phases of the team, the coaches and ownership!

We can do this, I believe we can, I believe we're bringing in good staff!

Very good point


Very much so and that's where I think Parker comes into. Just look he's young talented he communicates well, he's strong in his beliefs. This is motivating and hopefully it trickles onto the players. I love shotty and his energy and the things he wants for this team. I think players will adapt to this, hopefully it shows on the field. I'm ready to see change!!

that extra 40,000 is like pennies to them, but when you look at the big picture, it could set this franchise back several years!!!!! :muttley: :muttley: :muttley: :muttley: :muttley: :muttley: :muttley:

Parker's attitude will mean nothing w/o acquiring at least 5 good players for the D. We are grossly undertalented on D.

It’s wild how much talent and knowledge exists here—people with NFL front office insight, team-building skills, coaching experience, and player evaluation expertise. With all that collective brainpower, it’s crazy no one has started a ******** to buy a team and put all this advice into action, instead of just being online GMs whose ideas go unheard.

Or maybe you believe that old theory that Jerry has secret agents lurking here, reading fan ideas and making changes based on them.

Just think about all the suggestions for Jerry, the front office, Will McClay, and the coaches—everything from schemes to player cuts and additions. The answers seem to be right here; if packaged and sold, you could be outside consultants to struggling NFL teams.

You’d rake in billions, buy your own franchise, and win Super Bowls year after year. It’s all right in front of us, and those talents are going to waste unless something’s done about it.

This is weird.

All that talent and we draft Mazi/Kelvin/Schooner. Where was all that talent when those terrible draft picks were being made?

because better players make tackles, block better, catch better, run better etc
 
I realize that we are talking about the attitude of all the elements of this football team from players to coaches to management.

What about the fans?

I'm dealing with my own attitude as well.

I had a world-class attitude in the 70's and early 80's.

I had a phenomenal attitude in the early 90's.

For some reason, my attitude has changed. I just can't put my finger on the reason.

I've become so cynical and distrusting, i seem to always expect the negative things to happen. I just can't figure out why I am this way.

It just keeps getting worse as the seasons slip by.

I don't know......is it because.....I mean, could it be......that the explanation for my melancholy is related to the fact......that Jerry Jones........when it comes to football-related issues.....

.......is a narcistic lunatic without one ounce of credible talent as a GM in the NFL?

Your thoughts, please.

I think you are talking about organizational culture, which attitude is part of it.

any organizational culture starts at the top and with Stephen and Jerry, we can only change organizational culture so much. its always reactive as opposed to purposeful focus. Jerry is reacting to all the criticism, and fan unhappiness. that's why the talk about spending in FA, busting the budget. Stephen is who is. control the money. his comments about weckign future cap and money is big tell, they are focused on profits. its their DNA. everything else is marketing and public perception management. Jerry is in full damage control mode. they will sign a few FA. they have to or else, there will literally be a revolt at the ticket office and merchendise and that's what scares them.

with that said, this forced them into two things. first hiring a good DC after just putting a guy there and hoping, with the thought process of "how bad could it get?".. well last year it got bad. and it was 6th all time worse defense (scoring). the lax attitude toward roster building and coaching eventually catches up with any organization.

so Parker is a fiery coach, laser focused and because of the past 4 seasons shiets, he was allowed to assemble his own staff. essentially Jerry was cornered. now, they will sign a few FAs. fill in some needs at Saftey, CB and LB. and they seem to be laser focused on draft. no more Mazi's because he could jump out of a pool and no more charlton's, projecting players that just don't have it. I loved that parker said, there is a premium on instincts. that means they want football players, not olympic athletes.

second, that jerry knows he has to spend in FA. being in the bottom of the league for past 6 years, is caught up with them. specially that they missed on some draft years. if you are not going to spend in FA, then you better dang hit your drafts and we haven't been. 2024 was a disaster, yes we got beebee and I like him, but hated the guyton pick. you don't spend a first roudn pick on a RT with all of 8 game starting experience and then change his position to the 2nd most important offensive position. I wasn't happy about Booker pick in 2025, as I didn't think a RG is what ailed this team. and 2023, well, lets not go there.

so we missed on adding talent in draft. missed in FA and result is what we see.

I do expect this team change. they will take persona of their coaches. I think Schotty is a bit under rated, although I think we could have done much better if we spent (look at NE and Chicago). I think Parker is going to improve this defense, but as I said it about Moore, I say it about Parker. He is a first year DC. he has to make mistakes and learn, he will make mistakes and learn and that's the way of NFL. but his learning curve is shorter than Moore. at least he has been around. the defense will follow his lead and will be much better and perhaps that's what we need. I would love to see this team win some low scoring games and get all the Dak haters to pounce in and say we won despite Dak ( I guarantee it).

but Jerry is Jerry. he will not meddle, until he can't not meddle, which if we see success it will be towards end of next year and 100% he will be meddling in 2027.
