I do too! Can’t wait until the day he’s gone, but I’m still gonna call out crappy behavior like that. I think it’s tasteless regardless of how I feel about said player.

Why are you telling me all this? I have no dog in that kinda fight.

I don't think so. What makes you think they'd call that tampering?

If a gm of another team- literally commented on another players starting quarterback who’s under contract openly and how he wants that player on his team? You can’t do that.

Do u guys follow sports contract law? You can compliment the player, you can comment on a player and your desire to have if they aren’t under contract ie free agent but you cannot openly speak about your desire for another teams player whose under contract to be starting for your team. It can absolutely be viewed as collusion or tampering.
 
Like I said, will go down as one of the worst Cowboys contracts in recent history and possibly one of the worse quarterback ones too imo. Watson esq.

Jerry just wants to stay "relevant".

They should have let him play out the season. Got what they could for Lamb. First goal would be to build the trenches back up, sign /draft Dt's while starting Lance since you wasted a 4th on him. Pick up serviceable Rbs(many cheap ones having a good season) and always look for the QB to draft. We have seen many teams rebuild and put competent playoff teams together in 2-4 year spans.

But you know that requires competent GMs and ones that understand how to manipulate the cap. We got two clowns with no clue

I mean dak was getting a contract that paid as the top quarterback from Dallas or somewhere else- that has nothing to do with what we think of him. That’s how the market works, when quarterbacks get paid they usually set the market especially when they are considered franchise guys in the range of anywhere top 8-12.

Again, had no problem letting dak leave. It the idea that the cowboys are hurt for years to come simply because of daks contract is wrong- the issues are much bigger than that

The "market" is an indicator of value across interest...it does not force ME to be interested if I am not in the "market" for any particular item. Jimmy is not in "the market" for an average QB who wants to be the highest paid. Even the way he said it was invigorating and a breath of fresh air..."He's not the best but he wants to be paid like the best...I'm letting him play it out...". The "market" might value Dak at a given number, but if you've seen him up close you know and have experienced things that the market has not.

But this notion that the Cowboys "had to pay Dak because the market said so" is just echo chamber stuff.

Exactly.

I mean, what are we doing now? Tanking. We could have tanked just as easily WITHOUT paying Dak.

The 2016-23 window is over. We all saw that. We all saw it was time to move on. We all knew you've got some really good NFL QB prospects coming out in the next couple of years. We all saw that it was time to move on. But Jerry can't let go. He doesn't want to go through the 3-6 win painful season that is necessary to move on. Just look at 2015 for instance, and how much better Dallas was in 2016.

It isn't rocket science. And yet, Jerry still doesn't get it.
 
There was no "market value' for Dak. It was all Jerry getting fleeced because he's a moron. No other team was going to sign Dak for anywhere even close to the amount Jerry gave him. Dak and his agent even know this. The no-trade clause insistence is the big giveaway to that.

I do not. However, saying you'd love to have Mahomes as your starting QB would be a very weak tampering case.

Jerry is a non-football guy and doesn't understand most things NFL football related.

Maybe since he is NOT "the guy" this season Jimmy thought he was preseason...Jimmy is allowed to change his mind?

Kind of my point. Talking heads, which is what Jimmy is now, are always changing their minds based on the situation. Dak hasn't played well this year and is hurt, so right now, he's definitely not worth the money and Dallas should have waited.

Except- the context of the post was another rival gm saying I want him to be “our” starting quarterback….lol. That’s completely different than saying “you’d” love to him as “your” starting qb. If you know business law at all you know how one word can completely change something.

What you said was basic and generic- what the poster said was a hypothetical where a rival gm of a team said that he wanted a current player under contract (in this case dak) to be HIS teams franchise quartbeack. They are not the same. One is generic and bland, the other is very direct and straight forward.

No, the echo chamber stuff is listening to what a former coach who goes back and forth on the issue says and using it to substantiate a current take. In this case specifically the market means everything and not jimmy’s opinion
