The owner likes shooting his mouth off about what other teams do, particularly the last SB winner and the NFC rep this year. He doesn't like the risk.

What say you? You Risky Rick or Safe Sam?

Would you take an all-in year if it meant losing seasons for the following 2-3 years? And no assurance your all-in risk even pays off in the season.

Ya see, that's his problem, being irrelevant so he doesn't get so many interviews and face time. That's all it is, it isn't about the downside of the risk because they will still buy tickets, he won't lose anything monetarily by going all-in.

It is an interesting situation if an owner does say go for it as Kronke did in LA and Lurie has in PHL because they're won the bet. Now, how long it takes LA to recover to contention status remains to be seen. And we have yet to see the 2023 PHL roster.

How bad do you want that 6th ring? Willing to have a couple of back-to-back 6 or 7 win seasons to go for it? It's one thing to win it all but are you prepared to lose it, not make the SB and then suffer for a couple of seasons?
When I hear all in, that means consequences for losing. Giving up a ton of picks and blowing up the cap to get a SB. The Rams may have done that, but Philly did no such thing. Win or lose, Philly is fine going forward.

The Eagles didn't go all in. They made savvy moves both in the draft and through trades. All without hurting their future. That's what I want the Cowboys to do. Not start throwing picks around and praying we win.

The whole premise that the eagles went all in this year is just another example of Jerry's nonsensical ramblings. They are going to be fine next year as well. They're already listed as the 4th or 5th super bowl favorite for next year.

All in with what Cap as extending Prescott will only prolonge our failures on offense.
I know extend him and go bring in the Ravens 2000 defense to save the day.
Considering who our GM is GL with that.

Only if the "All In" included hiring a professional front office and GM

Jerry was really focused on what they in 2017 when they last went to the Super Bowl.

All in doesn't necessarily mean sacrificing future seasons. If this team aggressively went out upgrading 2 positions in free agency, that along with the draft and retaining some of their own should make most feel real good about this roster.

Yes, I'd go all in because windows aren't open as long as they once were and you can rebuild fairly quickly if you shoot for the moon. If you think you have a good enough roster to compete (and that takes objective evaluation), then finish it off and go for it. It might not work, but I can at least respect the effort being made.

This is true. We don't even go half in with players who wouldn't break the bank but would improve the team. The Joneses only shop where they think they are getting a bargain, while some of the better FAs chosen the last few years have been somewhere between a bargain and Sachs.

This clown show could not figure out how to go all in if the blueprint was given to them and they were guided every step of the way.

Just show me an effort that you really tried to improve the roster from the year before...not status quo or counting on multiple young guys or journeymen to "step up"....

I wouldn't mind going "all in," as long as it paid off around half of the time. Our FO seems dead set upon playing it safe to avoid a downturn of their popularity. It seems like they prefer continuing on a path of being less than able to qualify as Super Bowl participants. Our FO talks about preferring to achieve it but doesn't commit to the efforts that make it possible. The long drought of Super Bowl participation has them at loss to take the chances necessary to get there.

At this point in time, they've likely come to realize that they're not competent enough to make being a SB contender happen. Of course, they'd never see fit to admit as much. Being "safe" keeps the fans and media from unbearable angst and criticism, at least in terms of their insecure thinking. It's a never-ending cycle that repeats itself each and every year. Even a conference title seems a remote possibility these days.

It depends on the "all in" players.

Yes I want to take a shot, but the players we push our chips in for need to be legit studs. Otherwise I'll pass.

Taco Charlton has entered the chat. Morris Clayborne has entered the chat. Orlando Scandrick has entered the chat.
No one said they dont have misses. You think every team hits in every pick?Orlando Scandrick was one of the best Slot corners for a bit.

In todays NFL you can do that and rebuild within a few years so yes. What’s the alternative? 27 years without an NFC championship game, the long game?
