Someone enlighten me to "the plan"?

[408Cowboy]

You said that technology had moved forward and someone should show Jerry facetime. You were not being straight absurd. Your point was obvious for all your dissembling.

Do you know what taking something at face value is?

Do you know what taking something at face value is?

I'm very familiar with what literal interpretation means. I understand what you were getting at by joking that someone should show Jerry how to Skype. I never thought you were serious in the suggestion.

Can you actually get to a point directly or do always beat around the bush with sarcasm and loaded questions?

People seem to think that because I respond to sarcasm directly that means that I don't understand it. That is not remotely the case. I just have zero interest in playing those games.

I get fully that there is the fully absurd too. It is by far the most funny to me from Monty Python to Dumb and Dumber but you weren't going for that and you know it.

If this was the decision they were going to make, why wasn't it done months ago?

Why wasn't the player given the best chance for a new deal elsewhere?

Why didn't the team free up the cap space when they really needed it most?

Why didn't they do it when the other top receivers were available?

Does anyone in that building know what they're doing?

Probably not. Our FO follows the wave of the public and media.Kinda like our Prez watching Fox News.

I’m thinking Dez had an option to reconstruct. He wouldn’t budge so we released him.

Originally I had thought Dez would but probably the longer this went on Dez didn’t feel appreciated. And who could blame the Cowboys all-time career leading WR in TD’s.

He’ll probably be in the Super Bowl with Brady. Ha

While your emotions are very real to you they are not true outside of the scope of yourself.

You should get out of this whole "emotional" thing Mr. Spock, honestly.

My being critical of what I perceive to be dumb moves is no more "emotional" than you making excuses or supporting them. I know it somehow makes you feel better about your own position, but it doesn't make any of your claims true.

I never said that there was a right or wrong amount. I said I wasn't buying it and that is the extent of it. Unlike you I understand my opinions stop outside of my consciousness.

I have been trying to get you to talk about the objective truth like the opportunity cost regarding actions they could have taken if they had cut him earlier ro the moves the Cowboys did make. You instead go with the Bible paraphrasing and trying to act mysterious.

I went for accuracy. When the shoe fits.

I can talk "opportunity cost" with you. Go ahead and tell me how this move at this time makes better sense than doing it at the starte of free agency. For anyone.

I've been saying that Dez and Dak were unlikely to improve on their connection and Dez was unlikely to improve since midway through this past season. You hyperbolic characterization is noted though.

Fine. So why wasn't this move made months ago? After all, you're calling it the right decision. Why wasn't the right decision made when replacement options were available?

The only mental gymnastics I see are you and your insistence that the timing is problematic with the Bible paraphrasing and the like you are using to justify it.

I use phrases I feel are applicable all the time.

And there are "none so blind" as fans, willing to tell themselves anything or convinced thesemlves of anything, in the name of that fandom.

Dez himself said that there was no option. There were no discussions about a paycut. The visit took but 15 minutes start to finish.

I fully meant that exactly as it was laid out. I don't like the read between the lines crap myself.

PLAN?
We don’t need no stinking plan

 

[Hennessy_King]

Because there was no plan.

Ding ding ding lol. It's amazing how bad they are when it comes to anything else other than drafting.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

An these questions further illustrate why havein Stephen "Pudgy Rosacea" Jones can actaully be a worse thing


There have been no "deals" in years

Tryon's deal is extremely sweet. Fred's is below market value. Scandrick was paid below market value his whole time here. Really the only underperforming deals were Crawford and Dez. They just got rid of an underperforming contract.

DEz was unlikely to produce more with Dak at QB in 2018. It's really the best for both parties. Dez can now move onto a QB that matches his skillset and we can develop WR that fit Dak's.

He was a bad fit for all the rueing going on.

I wonder why now then?

If reports are true and there were trade offers, and you dont extract value. That is bad. I really dont care if Dez is gone, but no "team" advantage in waiting to 4/13/18

 

[Stash]

I wonder why now then?

That's the biggest head scratcher for me too.

In my opinion? It took the rest of them this long to convince the old man.

Forget about making smart or tough decisions when it makes the most sense for the team. It's about when Jerry is good and ready.

 

[LucaBrasi]

"Fight"
"Its a process"
"Dak Friendly"
"Romo Friendly"
"the unique way we are structured..."

They tag a new saying to it every year, and it winds up being the SOS. That's usually the plan.

 

[davey999]

They arrive at a conclusion through discussion and eventual concession. That takes time and then Dez went on an Australian vacation and Jerry wanted to deliver the news face to face.

What difference does the timing of the cut make?

It's $4m in cap space and they were able to offer Watkins a 8 digit AAV contract anyway.

Youre being emotional again.

I really don't understand how people question such a successful organization. Stumped.

Jerry right now.

That’s why Dez has been quiet. He knew it was coming . Just didn’t know when.

You should have asked your last question first and the others wouldn't have been necessary. And if they tried for Watkins, that answers your next to last question.

I wonder why they didn't at least trade him and get something?

Ty craw is next. But why now? I still can't believe we couldn't get any pick for him. Front office is trash when it comes to the pro side. And big shocker that's where another Garrett is employed
