What do you think the plan is?

[xwalker]

Actually I don't agree with Austin being a June 1st cut, he's still the best WRer we have has far as I'm concerned. Plus he's a good friend of Romo's, Cowboys will find a way to keep him on the team.

Even if Austin were the best WR in the league, it wouldn't matter because he can't stay on the field.

A plan? LOL Planning is for pansies.

Actually Pittsburgh is doing what we have been doing in certain places with the contracts. They have the same kind of serious cap decisions to make.

They are just fortunate enough that they have drafted better and did not have a complete disaster like we had in 2009. They handled the WR situation well, but there are some places they are paying age.

actually, Pitt has restructured as much and they can punt Levi Brown, Ike Taylor and Polamalu and be more than fine cap wise. throw in a Big Ben restructure and they are ok.

You hit the nail on the head there. I'm waiting to see if they're gonna look like we have the last few years. Fix one thing and something else breaks racing against time with an older QB. They could look exactly like the Cowboys when LeBeau retires and he turns 77 in Sept. They've done much better with the coaching hires so they could fill that spot good but theres most likely gonna be some kinda drop off. I sure hope they're in the tailspin I think they are anyway.

I doubt they dump Levi Brown. They just traded for him and stashed him on IR.

They can't take 6-7 years to rebuild in this era of football. They need to figure out this whole salary cap thing. It's not like it just started.

Dallas has never went to a full blown rebuild. It takes as long as it takes when you try to stay competitive every year. Seattle, San Fran and Carolina all stunk for awhile before they put it together. It wasn't overnight.

Harbaugh has been there 3 years and 3 straight NFC championships. Carrol wins the Super Bowl in his 4th year. River has the team landing the 2 seed in his 3rd year.

SF was 36 games under .500 in the 8 years before Harbaugh. SEA wasn't as dramatic but their win totals were 4,5,7,7 before last year. CAR was more of a fluke with 12 wins last year after 2 in 2010.

true.

We were fine until the 2007 season when most of the rest of the NFC East teams imploded and had to rebuild.

It gave the owner and fans a huge false belief we were alot better than we were.

Prompting the owner to start trying to retain Austin, MBIII, Ware, Guerode, Bigg, Felix Jones and numerous others to front loaded deals.

Blew the team to pieces b/w high cap numbers, falling production and injuries that never stopped to this day.

No more paying players before they are good.

Pay them after they have performed.

I can see Austin rebounding and having a good 2014, but I just can't see it here. He'll be 31 before training camp, and we young talented pass catchers. Dez is top 5 WR or just outside top 5 and Williams had a very good rookie year. On top of that, Harris and Beasley are very good slot options.

And even if Williams doesn't perform as expected, we still have Witten and another high draft pick in Escobar. We need a veteran WR to give us some injury protection, but we don't need Miles Austin.

You can not be serious. He had ONE good year.

2010 wasn't a good year? 69 catches, 1041 yards and 7 TDs?

It's a decent year. Certainly not enough to make a ridiculous statement that he is better than Dez. That is a joke.

I agree, saying Miles > Dez is silly, but 2010 was a good year and so was 2012.

900 yards and 6td is not a good year from a supposed number 1 wr like he gets paid to be.

Miles in 47 more games 8 more catches 377 more yards 6 less TDs.
Dez 59 games 293 catches 4104 40tds
Miles 106 games 301 catches 4481 34tds

Less we forget where it all started with Jerral Wayne ..... was the OLine

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Wrong just wrong

Pretty sure Mles himself would say Dez is better.

Everything you said is mostly right, although I think Dez is more effective, but if Miles can't stay on the field, then he becomes a financial liability. There is no return on the investment and it seems when he does come back from long layoffs he's not the same player and hardly touches the ball.

I believe this will lead to him being cut, not his ability.
