Tank vs Culture

[MarcusRock]

Building a culture of character and winners is what I want. If they're giving their all and lose, I can stomach it. Even if we had lost yesterday, I'd have been proud of the effort the team showed. I don't want a team that quits when the going gets tough.

Shots fired at Rockport. I see you, Rusty.

Nobody's gonna broadcast that it's a tank. But sometimes the effort on behalf of the staff and the players is just not there, and that's normal.
I honestly think the players got excited to face Dan Quinn, we'll find out if that's the case this week.

I believe there's a good chance we finish the remainder of the season 3 and 3 and end up with a 14 to 18 position pick, which i hate.

I'm counting on the new head coach to bring a new culture to this team finally.
What happens the next six weeks?
I really don't care.

The goal should always be to win a championship. Once it’s obvious that won’t happen in a given season it should change to how to do that in an upcoming season. In this current situation we should be playing nothing but young guys.

Who cares about the Giants? Cowboys badly need the higher draft picks.

And while we're at it my brother we need somebody who can discipline these players to be able to close out a game.
I am seriously disgusted with this coaching we can't get a first down and close the game out.
Player doesn't know to go down and let the time run out.
That freaking guyton can't get lined up and negates that huge pass to CD lamb I mean the mistakes just compound.
If we just had a coach that could get rid of all these stupid mistakes and self-inflicted wounds.
I understand we have a lot of players injured but a lot of this stuff is just basic common sense that is not being stressed by the coaching staff really tired of watching this team be so poorly coached

Amen, brother!!! This coaching staff has to go! I would consider keeping DBs coach, Al Harris, and a few others like the TEs and LBs coach. The rest need to go.

That wasn't the intent. I was simply stating that I want to see the Cowboys players give their all.

And it was good to see some semblance of progress in the young guys

That's the big thing for me. Is the trade off really worth it if you think about it ?

Would you rather sneak in a few wins a result of the young guys (who will be starters next year) playing great or would rather them play terrible but the result is you get to draft 5 or 6 spots higher?

I'd rather have a handful of young guys show upside resulting in a few wins than have them they play not at an NFL level, and you get a slightly higher draft order.

Oh, don't play innocent now.

Lol.

Good questions. Here’s my take.

1. The coaches and players should always be trying to win. That’s what makes sense and that’s fine. As a fan, I think it’s perfectly fine for us to root for losses though.

2. I agree that a winning culture can and does grow over time even from season to season. However, the cowboys are certain to have a lot of upheaval this off season with certain players leaving and also a brand new coaching staff coming in. So, I think that would be a major factor in the culture changing next season that outweighs or has the ability to outweigh the cultural benefit of winning games in the back end of this season.

3. The ultimate driver of the Cowboys culture is the owner/GM. And he isn’t going anywhere until he is in a coffin. So, unfortunately it’s my belief that the culture of the team is going to have Jerry and his son as an anchor around its proverbial neck regardless.

Since I think that, I value talent more than the cultural aspect. My honest viewpoint is that with the Jones’ in charge. The only way we win a Super Bowl is to kick into some generational talent at some key spots that can drag them to victory.

didn't you bring them up as being smarter than we are?

 

[EPL0c0]

THIS is why you play to win.

Hope they enjoyed getting Dallas lol

 

[MyFairLady]

This team has one issue above all else. A sad culture of entitlement.

At times, because they are way more informed, yes. Other times, absolutely not.
