Prove me wrong, we have a better than average QB but no online and one receiver and kicker. What else do we have? RB, OL, Dline and linebackers are horrible. d back are average. Why pay Micah and wage him? Let him go and trade CD and Dak and begin rebuild with draft. This team has dropped beyond plugging a few players to fill some holes.
This isn't Madden football.

Use your brain for a second, think about the salary cap, no trade clause, etc.

Been done a half a dozen times since Jimmy Johnson left.

The scouts and coaches build a team, the team starts winning, Jerry pushes everyone aside, claims credit, proves it by making decisions, team begins to struggle, then crumble, the wrong people get blamed, Jerry fires them and decides the team needs to be rebuilt, the vicious circle continues because the person mostly at fault has a rather personal relationship with the owner in that he is that person.
Whoa, now that is just beyond well done!!!!!!!!!!!!! A perfect description of what Jerry does repeatedly!!!!

Let me add, when the team starts winning, Jerry immediately starts overpaying players. And those contracts are a part of why we don't take the next step into true contention.

To evidence: We were 12-5 in 2021. Check out thes picks:

2022: 2nd: Sam Williams
2023: 1st: Mazi; 2nd Schoonmaker
2024: To be seen

That's 3 out of 4. 75% failure in the 1st/2nd round.

Let's start with the GM and new coach.

all the posters are welcome to laugh.

No, the team doesnt need to be rebuilt, you can rebuild and rebuild and rebuild but if your foundation is bad, everything else is bad.

The FO and culture needs to be burned down and that starts with JJ and SJ. The root is still there, and until it is firebombed out it doesnt matter what you do, the rest is tainted.

JJ is not about ego, he doesnt care, hes all about the money and the stadium and team is right where he wants. Enough that the team shows start with the Cowboys and the stadium makes him money all year long.

SJ just wants to ride the gravy train.


Until they are gone, nothing you do wont change a damn thing.

Well then, good thing Jerry hired him and gave him control...
It was non-negotiable. And four other teams wanted Jimmy.

He didn't choose the Cowboys because he and Jerry were friends. He chose them because of the level of authority he was given.

If the owner "Bum" Bright had kept the Cowboys but ordered Schram to fire Landry, Jimmy Johnson was one of Tex's choices to replace Landry. most likely, he would not have accepted.

Fear not. These two have a plan….

4th and 5th round draft picks becoming immediate impact starters.

Teams that use free agency are dumb for overpaying.

We understand that doesn’t add up but no real need to change. Carry on football guy…..

So, we agree. Good thing Jerry bought the Cowboys, since he's the only one that Jimmy would work for.
You can't take that away from Jethro

That part is actually a great point.

Although I’m about certain it’s the ‘I can do this myself’ thing that’s bugging most.

Absent Jerry, Jimmy Johnson was goiung to coach for someone else, perhaps even the Cowboys under Tex Schram, although I doubt it.

Simply put, Jimmy Johnson had a specific plan on how he was going to build the team and was going to coach for the team that gave him the most freedom with least interference to implement that plan.

That team was the Cowboys.....until they started winning. Suddenly, Jerry Jones, who previously took the GM position without public announcement, began a media campaign depicting himself as an equal partner in the construction of the team.

Once Jimmy realized Jerry wanted to make football related decisions, he knew it was over.

As long Jerry and Stephen are running the show you can dismantle, blow up, soft rebuild, trade ‘em all, etc. and it won’t matter. Dallas will always be about glitz and glamour and money. Football will always be #3 or #4.

Yep. I was thinking the same this morning. Idiot should have never paid Dak or CeeDee.. Fired Massageboy and took a q.b. early first round next season. Quarterbacks now are ready day one to start out of college. Take a receiver second round. then defense the rest of the way. That team would probably beat the team we have now. Hopeless....
