The Future is Bright

[Rockport]

There’s a lot to be optimistic about. The Cowboys have a strong core of players and have numerous ways to lower their salary cap. It’s obvious the weakness is the wide receivers. Outside of Cee Dee, they have no one. Not sure what’s up with Gallup but he was just lost out there. I gave him a pass early because he was coming back from injury. But that play where Dak threw an interception, he looked like he didn’t know what to do on that route. So they definitely need to spend some capitol on a high end WR in free agency.

Zeke is done. I wouldn’t want him back at anything more than the league minimum.

Dak was awful during this game. They’re not going to make it deep in the playoffs with that kind of play. He needs better options around him at WR and he needs to stop forcing it to try to win the games single handedly. I think another top end WR will allow that to happen. But he’s got to do his part and quit thinking he’s Mahomes. He’s not. But they can win with him I have no doubt.

It’s also time to spend some capitol on defensive lineman. Hankins played great but he’s just a stop gap. When Watkins is your best DL, then you know you’re in trouble.

CB is another area that needs addressed. Diggs is solid although he doesn’t like to tackle like Prime didn’t. Bland is solid and Mukuamu has a chance. But they need depth and they have no one.

They should resign LVE. I think he had his best year. Just from a fan perspective I’d like them to play Micah at LB more. Just to help extend his career and also to take advantage of his speed.

They’ll probably have a new DC and OC as well as other coaches. They need to hit a home run here with their replacements.

So there’s reasons to be optimistic. I for one am. I will always have hope and never give up.

[DallasBlockersClub]

The weaknesses are the GM and QB. How could the future be bright with that combination?

 

[infamousstyles]

There's always next year (27 years later) ..

Losing DQ does not sound like it’s pointing up. The sad part of all of this is we will lose him and keep Moore. When it should be the other way around……

I think many of us were waiting for your traditional "It wasn't Dak's fault but it was _____(fill in the blank) fault" thread.

PS

Watching a nuclear detonation is bright too but just like watching Dak it's not good for your eyes.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Jerry thanks you for your unwavering belief in his decisions, Rocky.

 

[bewp7]

dak $50,000,000 cap hit, over 20% of the cap him self next season

[PA Cowboy Fan]

It can't get any better than this. Now Rockport is going to tell us everything will be okay. lol

I will be VERY NICE by just calling you a sweet little naive fool!

 

[The Fonz]

Sure future is bright with out Dak

 

[thunderpimp91]

I agree the Cowboys have a lot of pieces to build around and for that reason alone there should be some optimism. WIth that said however I'm skeptical they have many resources left to build around what is already here. The Cowboys will have to continue to hit home runs in the draft, or get creative with some of the guys coming up for free agency. Maybe they dangle a guy like Diggs to see if they can get a massive return on the trade market?

 

[Blackrain]

I think the future is just as bright as it always is with Jerry as our GM.
We are very capable of making the playoffs and possibly winning a game.
That is a good season for most teams we as fans though are somewhat tired of that and would like to go further.

To go further we need look no further than our division rivals the horrible eagles as we've watched them rebuild their team blast by us for the second time now on their way to probably a super bowl.

They have a real GM that's not 80 years old and is capable of doing his job

 

[fredp22]

27 years of failure because of the teams management but for reasons u dont expand on you think will magically change next year. Team wont win anything till Jerry is gone

 

[pasando]

There's always next year (27 years later) ..

You summed it up perfectly!!!

 

[diamonddelts]

This is why Jerry stays in business. Selling empty hope to the same suckers year in and year out.

 

[Word Mofo]

Yes, I am optimistic about this team going forward. I know nobody on this board wants to hear that right now, but I am. A few aggressive moves could put this team over the top...

 

[Tommy]

So Jerry stays in business because of fans like Rocky but not because of fans like you. Your different.

Yes for sure shop Diggs, that was ridiculous and if your truly changing the culture his allergy to contact needs to go.

I am usually optimistic, but losing Dan Quinn will be a big loss. If this happens the defense will regress. Dallas will still have the talent on that side of the ball, but they won't be coached up. See Mike Nolan as example.
