Ripping the front office for no trades is hilarious

These are all great points. I would only want the team to do a trade if it improves our chances at a championship without cap-hamstringing us long-term. Sometimes the right trade just isn't there.
Here are some other great points:

We were right about:

Joseph
Escobar
Hill
Reggie Robinson
LVE
Cedric Thornton
The Amari Cooper trade turning out badly
Javon Hargrave
Jarran Reed
The DLine and Oline
Brandon Carr
Rb's

It really wasn't a good point.

I hear ya man and if that helps us with getting actual play off wins then I'll give credit to this front office.

But I wouldn't even care if we won all 17 reg season games with breaking every stat record in the process, if the first play off game results in a loss. That early promising last season was the final back breaker for me. I'll enjoy the wins but won't let them fool me anymore into thinking that this gives us any idea about how this team will perform in January.
I don't get not enjoying the ride.

He actually said don't bet on a trade happening before he got off the phone. He just said they were entertaining some things
Never expected a big splash trade coming, that kind of move comes with a big price and a price this team cannot afford.
This team has big young talent in place already with looming contracts in the very short future.
Cowboys are being very conservative for a very good reason.

We were all DEAD WRONG about Cooper Rush. He’s been a fantastic backup.

We were all DEAD WRONG about Brett Maher. He’s been a fantastic kicker.

We were all DEAD WRONG about Noah Brown. He’s been rock solid filling in for Gallup/Washington.

We were all DEAD WRONG about Tyler Smith playing LT as a rookie. Remember how badly we wanted a vet replacement for Tyron Smith before Week 1? We got Jason Peters but he’s been nothing more than OG depth so far. Tyler has held his own.

We were all DEAD WRONG about Terence Steele at RT. This one maybe goes back a year.

The moral of the story: we’re 6-2 despite Dak missing 5 games and other adverse circumstances. That’s a HUGE credit to the front office and coaching staff......

So maybe they’re not “SO STUPID” for not acquiring more help today?

Maybe, just maybe, they know better than us fans do? And deserve some benefit of the doubt?

Crazy, I know.

For the first time ever, I actually agree with you, for once.
You actually do have the ability to think with rational discretion, who would have thought.

Well said. We blaim every loss on Jerry, but this team is pretty well built. They put talent on the field every year. Its up to the players and coaches to win a championship with it.

I don’t know how you can say we were all wrong. Many of us Know what we have. I thought Noah Brown could’ve been a starter last season. Cooper Rush still is what he is. A back up. The only surprise here for me was the kicker terence Steele. We knew he was going to be a run making machine. He Plays angry

So what was your opinion on Cooper Rush as our primary backup before Week 1?

What was your opinion on rolling with Tyler Smith at LT before Week 1?

What was your opinion on Brett Maher as our kicker before Week 1?

Exactly... you were 0-3 on those guys just like the rest of us, but keep pretending you still know better than the FO.
:laugh:
My opinion a Cooper Rush hasn’t changed. If it wasn’t for the defense. No, you weren’t dead wrong about him he still is what you thought he was
