The window of opportunity is short

[jwitten82]

Just look at the 49ers as a perfect example, they had a good 4 year run, but I believe their window is finally closed. If they re-sign Purdy, I believe that would be a big mistake. That window only stays open if you have an elite qb

I truly believe Dallas window was 2021-2023. We had a respectful running game, Dak was playing his best, and our D was one of the best in the league. You're crazy if you think Daks best football is ahead of him. We're going through a rebuild these next few years, just sucks that we cant rebuild the most important position.

exactly. window of opportunity is 2, 3 years if you don't have a elite QB like Mahomes or Brady. so you have to take advantage. which means you also have to dip into FA to sign some key players you missed in draft, and pay the piper in later years when its all said and done. look at Rams...they did it. went truly all in and have a trophy. Niners are doing it and making moves (and a little bit of luck finding Purdy). Eagles are doing it, having 6 of the top 5 position contracts on the team. in 3, 4 years they have to pay...but they have already made it to the superbowl and won once and came close a second time.

the challenge for us is that Jerry's primary and top priority is not winning championships. its maximizing value and profits and thus winning championships becomes secondary.

Dallas isn't rebuilding. They are building a sub .500 team. Dallas will once again lose more talent then it gains.

I do think that one of Jerral's priorities is money but I am starting to think that the media attention is his biggest driver right now.

He's gone full narcissist, and the cameras and microphones are the only way to keep his ego cup full.

I’ve said this 200 times.

There’s windows under which to win and Jerry and his kid don’t get that.

The system is set up to penalize regular season success in several different ways.

The problem is…they got all the breaks you could have reasonably asked for last year, yet still were exploited by the gaping holes they would rather leave than overspend for free agents, according to their unqualified assessment.

Yeah why sign Bobby Wagner when Damone Clark is much cheaper? That’s the organizational philosophy in a nutshell.

The window in the NFCE is in Washington

They want Lance back?

 

[Praxit]

..I think we all saw that coming. That's why GB loss was HUGE, imo.

I felt if you dont capitalize on good seasons, there might not be another.

Now look at us. Sure hope MM is gone.

 

[zrinkill]

Window closed years ago

 

[bewp7]

yes wich is why u really need to go all in when it is open

the nfl is also not mlb or some other sport where it take a long time for the window to open u can do a full rebuild in like 2 years worst to contender

but jerry want to hold on and double triple quadruple down on dak and mccarthy

have fun old man

 

[LonnieElam]

Dak's peak was his first season. It been downhill ever since.

Charron I sincerely hope you're wrong about that, but all considered, it's a sad possibility.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

I find Stephen Jones's comment about 2025 being another tight year interesting..........coz he's admitting they can't/won't bring in much help outside of drafting. With that being said .........why in the world did you extend Dak this year. I mean that's TWO years @ $60M you are saying won't get as much help as you'd like. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me........

 

[ShortRound]

You thought we had a window with Dak? lol

 

[Risen Star]

Teams don't have windows. Players do. Consistently draft well and make smart FA decisions and this fictitious team window will always remain open.

 

[RoboQB]

The window in Dallas is boarded up and has been spray painted by unsavory people, "12-5, 12-5, 12-5" -DLS.
Local government is hoping to remove the graffiti and close in permanently with a wall. Owners are counter offering with a curtain.

 

[Jipper]

Some needs to open a windows at the start because something stinks

 

[diamonddelts]

Don't fall for the okie doke. Dallas never had a window. Prescott and the putrid run defense was never good enough to win 3 three ultra high pressure playoff games in a row in any season. But their best teams were when they had a top 5 Oline and rushing offense in the early years after Romo and later when they had Amari for one of the leagues top ranked scoring offenses.

I would add: and be smart about which players AND POSITIONS you choose to allocate your cap space to (i.e. have an organizational strategy that doesn't change with the players: Andy Reid said "always give me a QB, 2 good tackles, 2 pass rushers, and a good corner. I'll figure everything else out"

But yeah, agree 100%, there are teams that stay good for long periods of time because they don't extend old guys on the decline, or throw huge money at positions of less importance, or blow Top 15 picks on RBs, and they just manage their player's windows, so the teams window is always open.

Window closed when Jerry became the self-appointed football guy.
