Tell me again why did we not sign Derrick Henry?

[Chasing6]

Can you see, i know this is hard because i ll have facts, we keep Dalvin cook on the sidelines, but we keep zeke and his impressive numbers on the field.

Now , again, look at the facts, even if Henry was signed, he d be riding the pine.

The team keeps showing you, any successful player is sitting. Dak can suck it up all day, theres no way they putting Rush in, ok. thats fact.

CD Lamb is the only WR, he can be covered, aint no way Dallas is looking for another weapon, some scrub not getting TDs but will move the chain for 3 points is better than paying for a guy who can find the end zone.

I am pretty sure the we you are referring to is GM Jethro, because if I was included in the we, we would have called Henry's agent day 1.

and spent money to achieve nothing. Mozel tov, what wonderful GMs this board has. BEcause you know, all our problems are solved with 1 player.

Dang you are good.

 

[Kevinicus]

so every team Henry has worked has a bad Defense?

No. Just the one that was mentioned as being one of the best in the post I replied to.

Well, maybe not just that one. We certainly suck too.

 

[deerhunter11]

Not only do we not have a smart GM, we have a lazy GM that did not even call to check the price.

Then he makes a call to check on Davante Adams? Pretty sure Henry was a FA, no trade capital needed and significantly less than Adams.

It is clear to see Jerry believes the NFL is a passing league. He does not value the run game on both sides of the ball.

It is sad when the fans know more about team improvements, than the GM does.It boggles my mind it really does.

 

[88sAndHeartbreak]

Exactly. Greedy doe eyed Dak was looking out for the “Brotherhood” instead of taking a cap friendly deal early in the off season so even the Dumb Jones could have pulled it off.

Coaches look bad when their GM sucks.

I know you are right.

 

[CWR]

We don't have a pie situation. We have a Jerry situation.

Oh I know....

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Seriously... I don't understand WTH we were thinking .

Someone like that becomes available... WANTS to sign with us, and we say ---- Nah
We're good with Rico and Zeke?!

AND we paid Dak $60m PER!!!
This can't be real...
I feel like I'm in the twilight zone.

>>> The Jones' shouldn't be allowed to make 1 more football-related decision... They are dumb as a box of rocks. FTLOG

Because Jerry was thinking he has a few thousand Elliott Jerseys left and he has to get rid of them. so he signed Zeke to sell the jersey's...btw, Zeke is #15 and Jerseys are still #21.

it was a win win for him. get rid of inventory and make money....and save 3M on the cap. with 23M on the cap, jerry actually said he couldn't afford Henry!!!! not that Zeke is as good...he couldn't afford him.

Jerry is now really bad at lying too

But Jerry can afford a $5.2M hold my clipboard QB.

 

[conner01]

That's why I've been fuming most season. Could've had him for $6 mil...

Perfect fit too. This offense works when we can run the ball and we aren’t capable of creative run design so a guy like Henry is perfect

We have the worst rb room in the nfl most colleges have better rb rooms. He'd help a lot.

You think we spent money on Zeke and Trance for something???

 

[ElGatoGrande]

It was the most logical move of the offseason. Though I don't know if he would be as successful here, he would definitely have helped.

Exactly, nice addition but only if other parts are in place already. The OL is a work in progress, the run blocking schemes are just basic crap. Bringing Henry here now is putting the cart before the horse,,,, he would have failed miserably here this year.

Well I do know paying a QB a lot of money for him to then have to basically figure it out by himself is not a great investment.

It doesn't matter what WE were thinking...

I agree with this, but again, It doesn't matter what we think.

 

[Ranching]

Don't you have to be sober to feel humiliated?

No....some get drunk, because they are humiliated.

yes to show the fans and prove to the fans DONT TAKE DALLAS SERIOUS

 

[quickccc]

1) The Jones were too incredibly paranoid about the salary cap about re-signing Dak and Lamb
It's ways to move cap dollars around to make space .. if we really wanted Derrick henry. No one believes the We could not afford him crap.

2) the Jones not All IN to win a Super bowl - they want to luckily do it thru Money Ball approach

3) Jones are simply not on a level in front office management like Detroit, Baltimore. KC, Niners, etc.
It's a reason why those teams are far closer to SB and conference title games than we are.

 

[quickccc]

it's too obvious... i was so very glad Troy Aikman called the Jones out on TV broadcast for Not even making an attempt to call and inquire
into Henry.

Flat out shows totally incompetence with our front office.

 

[kskboys]

Just telling it like it is. This was ridiculous.

Most of what Jerry does/says is ridiculous. He's a horrific GM.
