!. Fire Quinn and McCarthy
2. Hire ...I hate to say it being an Ohio State fan. Hire Harbaugh
3. Stuck with Dak one more year. Move Lance to my second-string quarterback. Trade Rush for whatever I can get. Get Lance ready for 2025. Don't re-new Dak.
4. I'd sign CeeDee...I would not re-sign Micha- He's going to be traded. I trade Martin also. Yep. heard me right. Trimming the fat and using those extra picks to rebuild. Defense again. Cutting all vets. Going with the young guys at this spot. Cutting as many of the front defense as I can. Trading Mazi for whatever I can get. Chips-dips whatever. This makes sense being I'm not re-signing Dak.
5.Drafting heavily on defense. Drafting dogs and avoiding any picks from the Big Ten. My first 2 year draft will all be on defense mainly with an Oline man here and there. I believe in the young guys we have at Oline now. Taht's why Martin is gone. Can you imagine the draft pick he will bring. Cutting T. Smith at LT. or seeing what I can get for him. When I get through trimming the "fat" I'm going to have plenty of cap room for which I'd use on select free agents. Dog free -agents. Not guys looking for a Tuesday check. Then I'd hammer home how wearing the STAR-it's a privilege and a heavy responsibility when it comes to success and what is expected of the guys picked to wear it.
6. Training Camp in Cailfornia...cancelled. We're going to be in the heat of Texas. I'd strip the Country Club setting in the Star to a lunch box type atmosphere. We going back to the basic........
7. But it isn't going to happen.....Jerry is only a salesman not a GM. Jerry is going to continue to sell every year that the team is close. No, we are not. Jerry is going to keep prostituting the team for profit with nothing to show for it on the field. Every time I see that fool on TV anymore, I change the channel as fast as possible. Anybody keep buying crap-going to the games to build his empire. That's on you..........I want be part of it anymore.....
Can someone tell me why Harbaugh is the answer in Dallas? How is he head and shoulders over McCarthy? Not being smug, just curious what people think.

What does Jerry give up to convince Harbaugh to come to Dallas. Does he give up any control over the players? The draft? I just don't see it which is why I don't think Harbaugh or Belichick will come here.

It is interesting to note that Harbaugh ditched Alex Smith for Colin Kaepernick and while it got him to the NFC championship game the 49ers went down hill from there with all the controversy and then Harbaugh left for Michigan.

Also, nothing would please me more than for Lance to develop into a decent QB, but I think that is a long shot. We have seen nothing from him to tell us anything. Perhaps next preseason we will see him in action and he will shock us all with his improvement but chances are Lance will not be ready that soon. Of course the world never thought Love would ever replace Rodgers, and he was pretty good yesterday.

I think talk of trades needs to cool down. We trade Amari Cooper and got a 5th round pick for him. people expecting more for some of the players they want to trade make no sense. The Cowboys never get value for the players they trade away.

I do agree we need to get bigger and more physical on defense. I would be drafting DL and LB in this next draft. But stay away from the freak athletes. Go for guy who just play football well. If you can find a football guy who is also a freak athlete great. But knowing the game, being football intelligent, and having a championship heart come first. Find guys who never give up no matter what the score or the circumstance. The Cowboys need to be more stout up front and more instinctive at LB.

Jerry won’t do any of those things. He likes his guys and doesn’t make trades unless it’s sending our first round picks for wide receivers. He simply doesn’t have what it takes to be a GM.
An amateur GM,
Gets you these results.
This is our lot as fans until Jerry moves on.

Harbaugh will bring structure and toughness. Something we lack big time now...

P.S. Jerry Jones is Gilligan. From Gilligan Island. He will always stop us from getting off the Island. The Island of "average-do nothing-and false hopes". The Island- better known as The Dallas Cowboys.

If Jerry is Gilligan then JG was Ginger?

This, more than anything else. Shut down the country club locker room - or better yet turn it into a shrine for the men who deserved it (won SB). Build a high-school style cinderblock locker room near the practice field... no agents/press/etc allowed. No game day fashion show - team issued sweats only. No jewelry on game-day. I think the NFL requires a jersey name, otherwise I would remove that, too. Oklahoma drill for any divas.

Almost sounds like a twilight zone intro. :laugh:
