Not like our run d doesn’t suck and having a real lb in here would help. Why would you want to be aggressive and trade? Lve is not out for season or anything. We like our safeties playing lb. Sure the eagles are ahead us but they are the ones who need trade and be aggressive. Not us - we are good.

Baffles me every year, but beating all these sub 500 teams and us being ranked makes these clowns think we are ok at the D positions. Yet go watch the Eagles and 49ers games against us, even the Seahawks, this D NEEDS HELP !

Difference in philosophies. Roseman wheels and deals. The Joneses keep it cheap when bringing in outside players. We did trade for Hankins last year before the deadline, but we only switched picks with the Raiders and he was only making $1.3 million. The Cooks and Gilmore trades actually surprised me since we had to pay them more than just the bare minimum.

Taking low-risk (low-dollar) chances on players like Rashaan Evans and Martavius Bryant is more our speed. But it's been that way for years now so you'd think fans would be used to it.

Why make all these flashy signings so you can be 10-2, when you can do next to nothing and still be 9-3?

Not to mention. The Niners didn’t make any trades or pickup that dummy Gregory either right? Why would they try and get better

Again, why not Sam Williams? Micah came into the league and earned a totally different position than we drafted him for.

You can say it's silly all you want. But we have a guy who can go out there and play. And he's on our roster. And he gives you lots of options.

Plus, it also gives you another way to get him on the field.

Who do you cut to make room for the defense? I think it comes down just as much to having weapons around Dak.

What did the Joneses do when winning SB's? Wheel and deal. What haven't they done hardly any of since then? Wheel and deal.

Haley and Deion, nothing since. Two hall of fame players to put you over the top.

Well, first there was the Walker deal, but that was just to kick things off. Haley and Deion were enough. When is the last time Jones did anything like that though? So either he thinks we're 1-2 players away but wants to be cheap, or he doesn't think we're 1-2 players away so doesn't want to make an expensive trade/move.

Clowns? You mean the guys who say the Cowboys are “their favorite team” only when things are perfect and exactly the way their “sittin at home” butts want?

“Clowns”? Like the ones who complain about the team but have NEVER spent a penny on the team?

They did a lot of dealin' during our slack years, but Jerry treated the draft like an afterthought. Then, when we finally got serious about the draft during the Parcells years, he decided to start playing it conservative in free agency because of couple of big deals were poor ones.
