With our DEs out, if we don't tank now in 2024, when?

[GimmeTheBall!]

They gave the QB a long term deal. The whole point of tanking is to get a QB.

Or a DT from Michigan.

C'mon mild men of the pigiron , we talk a lot about tanking.
But this is the perfect time go tank with our DEs out and a lame buck coach and a bad Defence that last Thursday got a lot worse.
It will be brutal into November.
Tank. Now.

Who would you tank for? Only value I see is gaining a top pick and then trading down. QB won't be on the table for the Cowboys the next couple of years.

Loser mentality

And for 28 hears you've been reveling in "almost" and "wait til next year," then you celebrate when we get yet another DT from Michigan.
How sweet it is, mate.

Bingo. That is always the #1 goal of any team as it is very hard to win in the NFL without one. Not to mention, CD's deal. If you wanted to really tank, then don't extend either and start over. Trade Parsons and when you are tanking, no point in giving someone like him a huge deal.

The worst thing is to do all that and now faced with this dilemma. And no point in drafting a QB high that won't play since you want to take advantage of the cheaper 4-5 years where you can build around that. And then you absolutely won't bench a $60 million QB.

DontGimmeTheBall because i love to quit.

Our best chance is in 2-3 years when Arch Manning will go #1 overall and Dak will be on the final year of his deal. But will we be the worst team in the league at that time?

 

[Chuck 54]

How about NEVER! Tanking is for Losers, and I don’t mean people who lose games, but people who have no spine.

 

[ak47kaehu]

They should tank every year just to make you happy.....

Jones boys

 

[McMicah]

This would’ve worked beautifully if they didn’t resign Dak. Premier picks the next two years, but with Dak we are trapped beating up bad teams and losing to winning teams. We are in the purgatory of ‘best of the worst’

DontGimmeTheBall because i love to quit.

Quit?
No, me lord, it is your wall poster lad Dak who quits.
When?
Oh, I dunno, maybe in the last minute of each of our last three playoffs games?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

The NFC is terrible so we got that going for us.

The whole league doesn’t look good right now. AFC looks bad. 2-2 Ravens might be the best team.

Losers tank. Go be a Jaguar fan.

we talk a lot about tanking.

Why is this topic ever brought up?

It's really simple. Tanking won't ever happen. Period.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Our best chance is in 2-3 years when Arch Manning will go #1 overall and Dak will be on the final year of his deal. But will we be the worst team in the league at that time?

And the experts here say "we already have Dak for 4 years!
But, kind louts, under normal NFL management, you draft for a QB lad and prepare him maybe 2-3 years.
But here at CZ the expectation for a future QB is nil.
When Dak slows, what will our game play be? An elder Rush?

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Why is this topic ever brought up?

It is brought up as a point of discussion
It also offers the opportunity for the elders looking through lace curtains to respond in indignation about it.

The title of this thread:

”With our DEs out, if we don't tank now in 2024, when?”​

Calling for a tank is quitting. It’s the definition of quitting. You can’t even be honest with yourself.

 

[Praxit]

..have you seen rest of NFC play out? Every team is bottling out. Every team is showing major deficiencies.

Dallas is still this by long shot. We hope they get descent replacements on DL. At least until Micah is back in couple weeks, maybe.

Keep the faith, mate. Battle of Normandy started with few steps on sand.. ..

 

[DCreppinBoysfan]

You jsut signed Dak and Ceedee to massive deal. Why would you think about tanking with both dudes healthy? Threads is premature .

We’ve had worse situations at dline than this. The 2014 defensive line was probably less talented than this one even with the injuries.
