Wake up! I know we are football fans (fanatics), but try being logical not emotional!

If we were trying to lose... to the point made... McCarthy would be satisfied to leave DAL and take his chances on a new opportunity.

Players do not try to lose. I have not said that. Players and coaches try to win. A smart owner can play for the future, if his team has little to no chance of winning a Superbowl, by telling his HC to sit certain players etc.

I’m saying, I want us to lose competitive games, so we have earlier picks in each round of next years draft. With earlier picks in each round we statistically have a better chance to get BETTER players in the draft and eventually win a Superbowl.

 

[Captain43Crash]

Make me lol

Why?

And his HC can tell him to go to hell.

Dallas is not getting a top 5, even if they tanked the rest of their season. That option was two weeks ago, these wins guarantee at best the #6-10 draft position route but more realistically given how they are playing you’re looking at a 7-10, 8-9 season at best and probably a 15-20 range.

10 wins may not even get a playoff spot this year in the NFC.

Packers and Vikings already have 9 wins which almost guarantees two wild card positions are taken by the NFC North since the lions have 11 wins, leaving only one wild card position in the NFC left for every team to compete for.

Washington at 7-5 is the current last wild card leader and they only have 5 games left to play since they haven’t had their bye week yet. Even if the commanders falter down the line Dallas is currently competing with 6 other teams in the 5-6 win range.

Buccs, Rams, 49ers all 5-6, while the Cards, falcons, and Seahawks are all 6-5. None of those teams are garbage tier and most people would consider almost all of them currently better than the Cowboys. *forgot two of these teams will ultimately win their division so the boys are realistically in a 6 way competition for a wildcard, not 8.

I’m still hoping for a top 5 pick, but after the last two wins a top 7 pick would be awesome!
This team needs to do everything in its power to get rid of Dak and find a new QB. I think many of our top players ( Parsons, Lamb, etc)have little confidence in Dak’s ability to help us win a Superbowl.

That’s not the way it works. The HC is paid by the owner.

Jerry could call down and say start Lance. That would not necessarily be trying to lose. I think Rush gives us a slightly better chance to win, but not much. Rush is really bad! If Rushes 1st read is covered he is in deep shi_!

Might wanna take a look at how long I've been here how many posts I have and how many positive post reaction meaning like somebody is interpreting many of my posts and they all look very similar it's just you you don't wanna hear it maybe you're incapable of reading anything past one line and I get it you have no original thoughts of your own...

Yeah dude keep it up it's OK

we get it you're slow you have no intention of trying to read it because it's difficult for you we get it I hope you get that fixed soon and if I could draw in crayons and use more means and jiffy's in here I would do that for you but I just keep it right here you don't wanna know you don't want a differing opinion you don't want facts because you wanna just stick to your false busted narrative like the rest of the sheets and parrots around here that have the stuff ready on copy and paste in every post that's all they do is they go back and just remember the top five subjects that they're gonna respond in the exact same way all over this site nothing new nothing real nothing with their own opinion it's everyone else's it's either join the pitchfork and torch crowd and just say negative things or be told you can't read I can't read your stuff it's too long it's not legible blah blah blah blah it is actually in fact very readable....

But I don't wanna keep hurting your feelings because i don't like to pick on the weak , so i'm just going to leave it right here...

What are “means and jiffy’s”?

 

[KingCorcoran]

That’s not the way it works. The HC is paid by the owner.

Head Coaches sign guaranteed deals in the NFL. They can say “go to hell” to an owner and play who they decide to play, get fired, and still be “paid by the owner”. Any owner trying to dictate who plays would be reported to the Commissioner. Sports books would be uncomfortable with it. So would gamblers. So would other owners.

 

[Captain43Crash]

Sports are supposed to be emotional....logic is for those than can do something about it, none of us here can. Sacrifice now for draft picks that MIGHT help us win? Nah, to quote another, off the rocker owner, Just Win, Baby!

There are fans(fanatics) that cheer for every win no matter what, and there are fans that are logical and use reason and don’t get to excited about every win, if they think the wins will hurt their teams chances of winning a Superbowl in the future.

Everyone can use logic and reason, even sports fans.

 

[Captain43Crash]

And knowing Jerry he would do something dumb with a top 5 pick. Like drafting a LT for Dak. Doubt he would draft a QB.

A dumb owner like Jerry especially needs high draft picks. You don’t understand that?

Statistically, even Jerry has a better chance of picking a good player with a high draft pick. That’s logic and reason and I’m a football fan!

The owner owns the team. At the end of a losing season he can have a meeting with the HC and persuade him to play, or not play, a certain player.

Who plays is not dictated by Sports Books or gamblers.

I was going to ask that too!

 

[Captain43Crash]

SMDH, that is a losers mentality, losing competitive games on purpose, just plain ignorant!!! Yes I'm a fanatic, I have been a fan since 1964, so I have been through it all with my Boys all the different players teams , coaches etc. I take pride in winning SuperBowls, playoffs and regular season games, even preseason games, so any kind of win we get I will take it, so losing on purpose is not in my mentality, screw that kind of thinking, but I guess that's why the world is going to crap now

The world is not going to crap because people use reason and logic. The United States was going to crap because to many people were using emotion to make important decisions, like voting, and not using, reason, logic, and smart policies.

No one said anything about losing games on purpose.

Surely I'm not the first one in this thread... but I'm not bothering to read to find out--too lazy... to point out that the emotional perspective is to believe that it matters what fans want or think, whereas the logical perspective is to acknowledge that the only ones who have any power/control/gravity in this circumstance is the very people whose careers are affected by performing/coaching badly and losing games.

So, sorry that you spent the time you did in pecking all that out, but the subject header is incoherent with the body text.

My suggestion? Enjoy the ride. And when you're tired of the ride, just get off and go get entertained by something else. Life's too short. In my later years, I've discovered that being a fair weather fan is the way to go.

I disagree with your premise that the Title was incoherent with the body of the text.

I do agree being a fair weather fan is the way to go. I wish I could be one. I am working on it!

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Why?

Only joking lol. Still, the players haven't given up, and I don't think they will tank. I see us beating Carolina and maybe Cincy before it's all said and done.

3. Draft a QB with a top 3-5 pick. Groom him to be the starter from day one. Tell Dak he is sitting the bench. He is not playing! Tell him we want to trade him.

So many fans think that drafting a first rd QB is the panacea to winning a SB. History says otherwise. It takes soo much more to including excellent coaching, good to great skill positions, defenses and OL/DL.

of all QBs drafted in the first round since 2013 these 5 have made it to a NFC Championship game:

Jared Goff (2016) x2
Patrick Mahommes (2017) x8
Josh Allen (2018) x1
Lamar Jackson (2018) x1
Joe Burrow (2020) x2

of all QBs drafted in the first round since 2013 these 25 have not made it to a NFC Championship game (there are a lot of duds in this list):

Deshaun Watson (2017)
Baker Mayfield (2018)
Kyler Murray (2019)
Tua Tugavoila (2020)
Justin Herbert (2020)
Jordan Love (2020)
Trevor Lawrence (2021
EJ Manuel (2013)
Blake Bortles (2014)
Johnny Manziel (2014)
Teddy Bridgewater (2014)
Jameis Winston (2015)
Marcus Mariota (2015)
Carson Wentz (2016)
Paxton Lynch (2016)
Mitch Trubisky (2017)
Sam Darnold (2018)
Josh Rosen (2018)
Daniel Jones (2019)
Dwayne Haskins (2019)
Zach Wilson (2021)
Trey Lance (2021)
Justin Fields (2021)
Mac Jones (2021)
Kenny Pickett (2022)

Please...tell us who said drafting a QB will get is a super bowl.

“And I’m telling you” take the time to type responses and use punctuation that makes your drivel readable. Before you claim not to have the time, note that no one has the time to read your voice responses in their entirety.

I don't think I have read an entire post ever. I doubt few do.

I don't understand what he doesn't get about it.

Watching our team win regular season football games is enjoyable. It makes us “feel” good, but over the last 29 years, by the end of the season, we are ALWAYS, at LEAST a little bit, disappointed because we did not win the Superbowl.

Winning the Superbowl is the ultimate goal! Watching the Cowboys win Superbowls in the 70’s and 90’s was AMAZING!!! The feeling stays with you for decades! It really does. Dallas is the most hated team in the NFL, in big part, because of our Superbowl wins! They are also the most popular team, in big part, because of our Superbowl wins!

Fans of other teams are jealous of us because we are America’s Team! We are America’s Team, in big part, because of our Superbowl success!!

Having a 12-5 record and losing early in the playoffs is okay, BUT it is NOTHING like winning the Superbowl!

Having a 5-7 team, that is NOT capable of winning a Superbowl, win a couple division games, is fun to watch, BUT it is nothing like winning the Superbowl!

As a long time fan, I want to EXPERIENCE another HISTORIC Superbowl VICTORY!

If Jerry does not sale the team, the best chance for us to experience a Superbowl victory, in the near future, is to:

1.lose competitive games this year, and get a top 3-5 pick in the draft. Cooper Rush is NOT a Super Bowl caliber QB. Our D is improving with guys coming back, but it would need to be an all time DOMINANT D with Rush as the QB, to win a Super Bowl. That is not happening!

2. FIRE McCarthy! To often we are not prepared vs playoff caliber teams! To many stupid mistakes and penalties. We are not physical enough at the LOS. I am sick of seeing the jet sweep on 4th and a foot. Also, on Thanksgiving was the first time our D line has stopped a QB sneak in 3-4 years!

3. Draft a QB with a top 3-5 pick. Groom him to be the starter from day one. Tell Dak he is sitting the bench. He is not playing! Tell him we want to trade him.

4.Fire the Offensive Line coach/ run game coordinator. Our run game is to simple.

5. Draft run stuffing DT’s early and often in the draft.


This team has a lot of talent, but we do have one gaping hole and some smaller holes.
Dak has shown he cannot consistently play well vs good teams. We must pursued him to seek a trade. Again, we need DT’s. I think our O line has the potential to be very good when healthy and the best 5 are on the field. Doodle is a good back, but he needs help. Again, to win Superbowls we need to be physical.

Sacrifice short term success, which will not help us win a Super Bowl, for high draft picks throughout next years draft, which might help us win a Superbowl!

Imo our best chance to win a SB is if jerruh fires jerruh.
NONE of that other stuff you mentioned matters until this organization is rid of jerruh and his family.

 

[fairviewfarmer]

If we finish 5-12 we have a good shot at a top 5 pick!

The 2 game winning streak is not helpful to our ultimate goal of picking early in every round of next years draft, which gives us a better chance at picking starting caliber players, and winning a Super Bowl in the future.

Lol. "Winning a Super Bowl in the future"
How far out are you talking?
Jerruh has made several high 1st round picks in the last 27 years. None led to a SB.

Precisely. It's why a laugh at the tank now crowd.
