Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, now that could not have been said better!!!!!!!!
It still amazes me every time someone screams "Just pay him" w/o realizing that they are actually screaming that they're not interested in being in super bowl contention.
And also, we've already tried the route of paying a few guys huge contracts, and it was an abject failure.
The plan that must be followed to insure that a team can compete for a title was laid out by the Niners when they let Montana, Rice and Lott go. And they had Montana and Rice's replacements ready to step in. They had a plan.
My problem with the Cowboys is that they've never been forced into planning. There are no repercussions that affect the Jones family so they can just play it year to year.
And the dumbest thing they've done yet is this hang up on the years of the QB's contract. Who cares if you have to renegotiate in 4 years? Get another QB, that's what the other teams have had to do.
And laying it on your QB that you need to have enough to be able to pay players around him isn't his problem. It is their problem for overpaying Lawrence, Elliott and we don't know about Cooper yet. It's stupid and they show just how inept they are by blaming the employees for the salary expense.
Some posters here have no complaint because they've "paid the man", their man, too many times.
