The window is closed for the Cowboys

[ICP]

That window's been nailed shut for a mighty long time

 

[bigE79]

Idk about complete rebuild but we're far from having the complete team needed to win a title. Its a shame Dak and DQ sold us out against GB, that was setting up as our best shot.

The best shot we had was in 2014, if not for the refs,I have no doubt we at least get to the SB,that team, by far was the best cowboys team since the 90s,imo.

 

[Cowboys5217]

Yes the window is closed, but it has been for a while.

No the Cowboys don't need a complete rebuild. How many NFL teams have done that in the last 20-25 years? Exactly.

Several teams such as the 49ers, Eagles, Rams, have built a contender, fallen off, rebuilt to contender, fallen off, and rebuilt to contender all while the Cowboys spin their wheels doing nothing.

We've been getting lapped several times by many franchises and you choose to go the gas lighting route of making the absurd claim that nobody rebuilds.

So do you gas light for the lols, or is there some other agenda at play here?

 

[MS17]

It isn't so much a closed window to me. More of an organization that has an interim, barely functioning GM and VP, Personnel Director-Capologist.
The Cowboys are in dire need of a solid, honest-to-goodness management team, not one infected by nepotism and myopia.
It's the Cowboys' most urgent problem right now.

 

[phildadon86]

Jalen Hurts completed 80% of his passes for 2 TDs along with 72 rushing yards for another TD.

Saquon had 57 yards.

The Eagles lose last night with Dak at QB.

Dak don’t win without 100 yards of rushing support.

I’m not disagreeing with you. I’m just saying even Mahomes couldn’t overcome a great DL.

You keep glossing over that.

 

[TwentyOne]

We had 3 12 win seasons that we could have gone all in and done something special.

Jerry chose to not go all in and get all the holes filled as a result we squandered the opportunity.

We paid DAk and we paid CD and the window was closed while the eagles signed Becton, Barclay and drafted gifted players for their defense and built an absolute powerhouse that we stand no chance of being able to compete with.

The mollycoddled Chiefs that were brought along by the league and the refs shouldn't have even been in the same stadium with them.
Their trenches on both sides of the ball were built so bulletproof the Chiefs didn't stand a chance and neither do we.
Next Jerry will lock the window by making Micah the highest paid defensive player in the league and that will be his excuse that we have the highest paid players in the league but can't afford anybody else.

This team needs to be completely blown up and start over. We have started with a new coach now get rid of everything of value that we can get draft picks for and start over because there is absolutely no chance of competing with what we have there aren't enough draft picks or free agents available.

This team needs a complete rebuild your thoughts

Talking about windows for the Dallas Cowboys. This is the house Jerry build for us:

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

I’m not disagreeing with you. I’m just saying even Mahomes couldn’t overcome a great DL.

You keep glossing over that.

Mahomes can overcome it. He just had a bad night. It happens.

If anyone deserves a pass for a bad night it's Mahomes.

btw, this made me think of the Movie The Matrix, where Neo was visiting the Oracle and the little kid was bending the spoon and told Neo, its better if you realize there is no spoon.
so same here, you have to realize, there was no window.....and it all will fall in place.

 

[charron]

They don't have to tear it all down but they do have to change how they operate or they'll never sniff a SB.

 

[fivetwos]

Our biggest need currently is health. We have 3 of our top players in Dak, Diggs, and Overshown in the in tub for awhile. Dak’s the only one we will see most likely in TC. That’s two pro bowl talented players that you can’t use….

Fair, but at 100% they still aren’t strong enough up the gut on defense for a deep playoff run.

In 2023, Diggs aside, a lot went right and they got smacked around by better teams.

 

[MikeT22]

The window was closed when Jerry decided to hitch the franchise to undrafted and 4th round losers at the most important position in sports.

The window started closing when Jerry ran Jimmy off and took over all GM duties. It slammed shut after the ‘95 Super Bowl as more of Jimmys players left, started declining or retired.

 

[Pantone282C]

But we have Jerry Jones, and that's all that matters.

And, he makes a better door than a window.

Window was never really open, team was not good enough postseason even during those 12 win seasons.

yeah jones boys shut the window themselves lol !
They wont get rid of lamb or micah, and they cant get rid of dak.
They would need to tank a year or 2 to get top OL and DL in draft. They wont do that either, we saw that this season.

Sadly as long as Dumbo is Gm and his boy helping, they will continue on doing what they have been doing.

To me having 3 top paid players on a crap roster, is insane and counter productive, but jerry likes marketing more than winning football lol.

 

[StarBoyz83]

We have talent at many positions. It is just horribly coached, especially the offensive line.

Need a qb first. But they do have some talent

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

There was never a window open for this team. We have built nothing. We have a group of overpaid overhyped guys who are not capable of competing at a level that would allow this team to compete for a title. Making the playoffs and getting bounced in the first round is the best outcome you can hope for.

This and nothing will change when Jed is gone because Jethro is worse.

 

[The Natural]

The best shot we had was in 2014, if not for the refs,I have no doubt we at least get to the SB,that team, by far was the best cowboys team since the 90s,imo.

Beating Seattle twice in Seattle would have been too tall of a task imo

 

[loublue22]

What was our best win in those seasons? The blowout at Minnesota vs a team with a gaudy record that then lost to Daniel Jones in the playoffs? Detroit at home last year on a disputed (but correct) call? The Bengals at home in '22 (with Rush)? That's the best one I can find.

An inflated record beating up mostly bad teams, and crumbling against real opponents.

 

[Nova]

The window closed sometime between 2021 and 2022.

It was pretty much bound to happen with our FO's complacency.

They had Diggs, Parsons, and Lamb balling out on rookie deals.

But instead of bringing in more talent to go along with those cheap play makers, they started stressing about losing them to free agency down the line, and decided not to invest further in the team, thereby limiting out playoff potential.

I agree but the clowns that sat on their hands the last 3 years are also the idiots making the decisions. Blow up the ownership and then we can talk. No matter what direction they go the last 3 decades prove they will screw it up. We need them to sell the team period. Look what happened in Washington. Horrible ownership that was keeping that franchise back. One year after he had to sell they are in the NFC championship game. We need the Jones family gone!
