In my opinion. It’s one of the most cowardly things a team could do. Nothing positive comes from it. It can destroy a locker room. It creates a losing mentality. All those people that want us to tank and lose games on purpose. What a waste it would’ve been. It would not have given us a better First round draft choice. Specifically because we’re going to be able to take the best Defensive player in this draft. I hope this such a great example of why you never tank . You just don’t know what the result of it is going to bring. Other than Negativity. Go cowboys hope you have a great draft
You have a right to your opinion, but you are wrong.
Did you know that Jimmy Johnson tanked in 1989? Why do you think he traded Walker? He knew you had to hit rock bottom, flush the roster and then you would have a chance to hit the lottery. I am not saying every tank ends up in a SB winner in year 4. 1-15,7-9,11-5,13-3(SB), 12-4 (SB)
They just didn't call it tanking back then.
Let's look at the Dolphins. They are are probably one of the smartest if not the smartest organization in the league. Love their coach and GM.
They had the Texans #3 pick and look at what the Niners traded for that spot?
The Dolphins traded their 3rd pick to the 49ers in exchange for the No. 12 pick this year, a first- and third-round pick in 2022 and a first-round pick in 2023.
You are acting as if the Cowboys are the San Antonio Spurs who had that run of 50 win seasons or the Patriots since 2001.
Even the Falcons at the #4 pick have a lot of options. The league is getting smarter and smarter They know the benefit of having a fixed cost at QB. There are two options..
Superstar QB who is paid very well, and cheap young QB that you hope will pan out.
We have a QB who is way over his ski's in terms of salary, and this will be just like the Vikings, Ravens with Flacco, Jimmy G, Goff, Wentz.
Tanking is just the bad way of saying, you have to get really bad before you can bounce up. All the great franchises have to do it one time or another.
Just look at Jerry's run as GM, 1994- 2020. In the first few years he was running off the fumes of Jimmy Johnson, then by the end of the 90's that team was done. The next few years he was bad under Campo, then he got Bill to bring some respect back to the franchise. From 2007 to now he realized that this organization needs to be competitive and that is all the fans, media care about.
Jerry DOES NOT care about winning a SB. You can repeat all the crap he says, but just watch what he does. He cares about the hype, Sunday night fighting for the last playoff spot, Skip& Shannon, First take. He just wants the team to be in the news cycle. So his biggest fear is to be irrelevant.
He doest not want to be 3-13. He see's no upside in winning a SB. He already has three, he already makes more profit & revenue than any other team. Just like everything in life. He does not have the incentive to win. That is the bottom line.
We will all be here over the next 5, 10, 20 years and nothing will change. This team is not motivated to win a SB. Jerry does not come with the goal of asking how can this team win a SB.
