Which is it?

[Bobhaze]

If once again the Cowboys front office chooses this off-season to go the bargain basement route in free agency to enhance their roster, what does it say about their thinking? What is their logic? Which of these phrases is most true?

• A. They honestly believe “their way” (despite all the evidence of the last three decades to the contrary) is going to somehow win a championship.
• B. They really don’t know how to build a roster that can compete for a championship and know it, but don’t care enough to change or just hope they get lucky.
• C. They are completely delusional and believe their own PR.
• D. All of the above.

At this point, I believe it’s either B or C.
You?

A or C

I don't think they know that they have flaws in their roster building. I think they truly are delusional and think they have found the ideal way to roster build in today's NFL.

I also tend to think they won't sacrifice being good to try to be great. They are deathly afraid of taking risks and then end up getting burned and have a 2-3 year run where they suck. So they'd rather kind of just float in the land of decent/good and just hope they get lucky.

 

[Coogiguy03]

E. They feel they got burned 10 years ago signing Brandon Carr, but fail to realize Bobby Wagner is parting ways with the Rams after ONE year into a big deal. Randy Gregory is in his first year of a big deal and Armstrong played better than him. Stuff happens, take chances. Stop saying you want to win, and aren't doing anything to help you win!

“…they won’t sacrifice being good to try and be great.”
Outstanding point. Very well said.

A. Their egos make them believe they will build a Super Bowl team their way.

you know in the early 90s when we got Haley, Deion, had the Herschel Walker trade. It had nothing to do with it

Who would have thought the self proclaimed “wildcatter” and “riverboat gambler” would turn into a no risk, predictable executive?

 

[maryquality]

I'm going with A and C also.

Yep because being good makes him plenty of money versus the downside.

E. fans dont know anything in relationship to building a team and overreact every offseason before rosters bult and any real games are played and typically wrong.
d. they will respond using 27year narrative saying we were right but that would be 30 teams yearly that don't make a SB, so great odds of being right LOL...

both posts now, same subject..

TRO was right in the the other post

Our SB winner

Show me all the offseason moves made in the first 2 waves of FA where they added top line names at 20mil per head for 3rd or 4th contract guys regardless of how good they were or might have somehting to offer??? I dont follow the chiefs too close but they dumped more big names similar to what we did last offseason and found younger and or cheaper payers that did solid job to get us to another 12 win season in the 2nd round. even though this pace sounded the same and said we didnt do enough most had us under 9 wins and no playoffs.

I skimmed it cant find those big names that were added you know like trade for vet that demands 20 mil per season.

• Justin Reid, S. Three years, $31.5MM. $20.49MM guaranteed.
• Marquez Valdes-Scantling, WR. Three years, $30MM. $8.56MM guaranteed.
• J.J. Smith-Schuster, WR. One year, $3.25MM. $2.49MM guaranteed.
• Andrew Wylie, OL. One year, $2.54MM. $2.54MM guaranteed.
• Derrick Nnadi, DT. One year, $2.75MM. $2.5MM guaranteed.
• Chad Henne, QB. One year, $2MM. $2MM guaranteed.
• Jermaine Carter, LB. One year, $1.77MM. $1.77MM guaranteed.
• Geron Christian, T. One year, $1.19MM. $1MM guaranteed.
• Ronald Jones, RB. One year, $1.5MM. $750K guaranteed.
• Taylor Stallworth, DT. One year, $1.19MM. $300K guaranteed.
• Austin Reiter, OL. One year, $1MM.
• Jerick McKinnon, RB. One year, $1MM.

All i see id they traded or let walk some of their best players on both sides and added less expensive options nothing big at all.

you will see if you skim the nfl maybe 4 -5 teams make these big splash moves the rest just try and build solid roster and add to what they have and build on it or others have firesales payig for those big spash moves from the last 2 offseason and now are rebuilding...

I how they add some help but who that is and what the compensation is, doesn't matter, we will see their worth in the season, not before, names are names but how they gel and produce for US not the teams before them that matters..

there are a lot of players being released this week and beyond that can help the cowboys but not demanding 20mil or a trade. the 4 names that keep being over discussed are not the only players avialable . jeez the crying already stared over Ramseys and I knew that wasnt happening. Only 3rd no its his guaranteed 20mil per season that doesn't fit.,

how about we wait until august to start the discussion on the season and who they acauty added in FA and the draft and comue into games vs the Constant overreactions 24-7 in MARCH , before the league year and the real moves start being made?

You can be Pro what they are doing or anti what they are doing.

But you cannot argue no matter how hard you debate, kick, scream anything with what @Sydla said.

“…they won’t sacrifice being good to try and be great.”

So “building” this roster the way they do, gives them their 10-12 wins and maybe a playoff win here and there. But they continually expect to strike lighting in a bottle just to prove they are the smartest guys in the room and they did it their way.

The fans here aren’t grumbling that we aren’t after Orlando Brown or Odell Beckham. But to sit there and be content that “Kelvin Joseph and Nashon Wright will be your starter!” Same with Damone Clark and not even attempt to bring in competition is what frustrates the fans.

I didn’t say anything about spending $20 mil on a player in FA. I’m just saying this: What has this front office’s strategy the last ten years gotten us? Three wild card wins. If you’re satisfied with 3 WC wins, I’m happy for you.

There are tons of smart FA moves that don’t have to cost a fortune to make this team better. It’s not an all or nothing, “either/or” position.

 

[fivetwos]

They are all true in some sort of way, but it probably doesn’t have to go beyond this….

If Jerry brings in a GM or a non puppet HC at this point…..either the results will be the same failure, OR it’ll prove how incompetent he really was for 30 years.

He can’t even enjoy best case, so it won’t be happening.

I still hold out hope that the media won’t be as intimidated by the kid once Jerry is gone, and he won’t want to stand the pressure…and bring in real coaches and talent evaluators.

They don’t know what they’re doing, think they do and are stubborn enough to think it’ll work.

These fans that have the comebacks I just don't get it, they're HAPPY with us JUST getting some wins. You tell me what player trains in the summer/during the season to JUST WIN GAMES, they want to win the BIG GAME!!

 

[Ring6]

E. They know the current method isn't for winning it all, but it wins enough in the regular season to sell the product, keep interest, and remain profitable.

"not even attempt", its march 13ths the league year hasnt started, again a whine fest of constant negativity, prematurely as usual. Sorry i will stick to E
getting into the playoffs as top 3 seed is the goal umm 4 of 6 years add no losing seasons, then you have to hope you are healthy and make run in the playoffs, they are doing that but the health part like the OL, nope , run game pollard, nope.. Losing Lewis and Brown effected the team late, losing all those OL at times and not having Steele or pollard in the 9er game had an effect.

bad luck happens sometimes like with 9ers and that NFCCG all those injuries at qb, cant plan for that..

satisfied, no but nothing i can do about it

so chose to not overreact and be a part of a witch hunt for the FOP, its a new season , a one off each year and i like to see what they do by august and then watch some games make real evaluation, not preemptive negative strike on how our FO did and how its over before it started,

The SM reaction yesterday, you must have missed it.. LOL we lost the off season and the season because we didn't trade for Ramseys

its already started.

If we dont land Dhop, wagner, ramseys, or OBJ

its all over, read the responses see the video live responses yesterday..

...dont you know those are the names and if those names aren't acquired the fan base states its over the FO doesn't care LOL as if those are the only names out there now or soon to be released..
