Possible 10-15 years of .500 football when Dak's gone

I believe this front office is crap. Yes Dak has to go but still no confidence in management building a championship team. None at all. A 5-1 stretch in the regular season is nice, having to win 4 in a row in the postseason against the best in the league is another story. Dak has also gone 5-1 at some point!
You can't really think Mahomes or Brady would fail with a roster that Cooper Rush was able to go 5-1 with though.

If we could just get an actual good QB that is consistently good you would see such a major difference.

The problem is they haven't tried at the QB position since Aikman, but maybe that's all about to change.

I doubt it. I think there is a few years of bad football ahead of us. top 5, top 10 picks. similar to campo years. churning coaches that's up coming in the next few years. but not 10-15 years. Jerry will be dead before then so things will change a bit.
The Campo years were extended because we were missing 1st round picks from the Galloway trade.

They’re not winning anything anyway with Jerry and Stephen. That bar has officially been lowered a long time ago. Go get Mahomes or Tom Brady in his prime and these clowns would figure out a way to screw it up, I don’t doubt that for a second. I have complete confidence in the stupidity of this front office!
It almost sounds like you're kind of joking around, but what you're saying most likely would be true. Green Bay's offseason is similar to ours. Although they've had a very good team for years, how many super bowls did Rodgers see? One back in 2010 before they changed the rules for rookie contracts.

If it takes 10-15 years to find a new QB then they have failed miserably at it, and several times. It very well could take that long, but it also could happen quickly.

The point is extending Prescott vs not. Either way, he can’t play forever and they will eventually need to replace him whether it’s now or 3-4 years down the road.

I’m Swiss on it, and both sides have valid points, but I’d be very surprised if they decide to move on from him now and allow him to walk away.

But for Mahomes and Brady, there were key pieces in place, quality coaching, good defense, smart decisions from the front. It takes a lot of things to win championships. Jerry and Stephen don’t really value any of that. We’ll see how things play out, but I have absolutely no faith at all in this front office.

How is GBs offseason similar after signing McKinney and Jacobs? I’m not joking at all. GB still beat the Cowboys on every occasion. This goes beyond just winning a Super Bowl when you look pretty pathetic every January.

I'm talking about over the last dozen years. They were never big players in the off season that I could remember. Maybe there was a rare occasion. It's one of the things Rodgers complained about. Their culture is probably very different there too.

Even if they weren’t heavy players in free agency, they didn’t take the “we like our guys” approach to the moronic level this one does.

He was second in who was the Most Valuable Player in the National Football League for 2024.
What a joke that is guy gets no first place votes yet he’s second, when there was a guy who got a first place vote, Dak is surely the king of garbage time.

Right. We'd be hard pressed to find another team so strict with their approach as the Dallas Cowboys. But some teams come close.

Unfortunately, that's prolly accurate. Jerry isn't smart enough to dump some guys and get some topnotch talent in here from the front of the draft. Jerry strives for mediocrity. Maybe Jimmy will make him understand.

You can’t find another team. They are far and away the #1. It’s disturbingly lopsided how they have been willing to overpay their own players when most aren’t worth keeping in the first place and then penny pinch in free agency. It’s a pretty stupid approach that never worked.

It's almost laughable. There is one bright spot. But this is just a wild hypothetical. Belichick comes in next year and is allowed to have say in FA. But that's probably just wishful thinking.

All we got is wishful thinking at this point. I’m all for it.

A majority of those years before Dak was lead by loser Romo.
Yes, Romo was the reason they lost. You seem obsessed with blaming the QB position, even though some teams have shown you can win the Super Bowl with an average QB. This team can't because its front office doesn't know how to build a team.
