You Are Jerry The GM, how are You Changing This Team For The Better?

[kskboys]

The bad decision-making and overpaying for mediocre players, most specifically this past off-season, as Jerry’s mental abilities continue to deteriorate, unfortunately, has set the path for this team for at least the next 4 to 5 seasons were looking at the same version of what we’re seeing now. Whether you want to accept it or not, the Cowboys are in a rebuilding phase. Probably haven’t recognized themselves, but I think Jerry has just enough brain cells left maybe start to realize that at this point. I know what his age he wanted one more Super Bowl before he checks out, but unfortunately, his own bad decisions probably have prevented that from happening in his lifetime.

And since we're overpaying players and keeping older guys until their teeth fall out, the rebuild will take another 10 years.

I’d pat Zeke on the back and say “sorry bud, we’re all done here”

Easy to point at Zeke but the OL is getting owned and absolutely no reason running lanes being created. Most of the time the RB are tackled at the moment they get the ball behind the line..

 

[VaqueroTD]

Nice advice Coach. Start with the Front Office and go through the coaching ranks. And don’t forget your RB.

1-Calling Dalvin Cook & Malik Davis up from Practice Squad and Cutting Ezekiel Elliott and demoting Deuce Vaughn to the Practice Squad.

2- Starting Kavontae Turpin over Jalen Brooks.

3- Tyler Smith is the Left Tackle and Tyler Guyton is the new Right Tackle. Terrence Steele becomes a reserve.

4- Run the ball more and eat up time of possession.

5-Best kicker in the league. I remember Seahawks did this years ago in the playoffs vs Raiders. Once you cross the 50. Aubrey kicks a field goal.

Steele has issues in pass protection but is our best run blocker and if you want to run the ball better he has to remain in the starting lineup

 

[noshame]

Well, it's too late to not sign prescott.To a disastrous contract.
At this point, you figure out who your next HC is going to be and make sure you have high draft picks, which will be coming. Start the process.

I had to look it up Garrett is only 28 Metcalf 26. You’re still losing draft capital with rookie contracts for expensive vets .

Secondly when you cross midfield “ you’re kicking the FG “ . Are you giving up on TD’s ?

Third Malik Davis and Dalvin Cook this yr I get it but long term you have to draft a back rounds 3 or 4 .

Flournoy and Brooks get targeted now and for the rest of the year . Let Cooks get healthy take your time , don’t think Cooks has a future here .

The 2025 draft has to be Defense heavy preferably front 7 oriented . Teams like Det GB SF can steam roll Dallas , your down 14-3 quickly and the offense is desperate early . Need a defense rebuild that can keep you in games .

 

[RonWashington]

Pittsburgh Cleveland Giants the three wins kept those teams with admittedly bad offenses in the teens scoring wise allowing the Dallas enough of a chance to top that score . Dallas needs a new DC and a D rebuild in. 2025 .

Balt New Orleans Detroit scored whenever wherever . As well as GB

Hiring a competent GM and leave him/her alone.

Ditch the zone blocking scheme and let them go man. It's what worked in Pitts. There's too much talent to suck this bad. Our "run game coordinator" can go as well. He's not coordinating anything.

 

[Creeper]

I think the first thing is to accept the problem is not going to get fixed this year. Accept the losing record in 2024. Use the rest of this season to evaluate the talent they have.

Decide on what kind of team they want given where they are with contracts. I would plan to build a physical stout defense and an offense that runs the football. Dak is the QB because Jerry already made that mistake, but that doesn't mean they have to put Dak in a position where the team success depends on him. This is not a 1 year makeover. This is a 3 year plan.

Fix the trenches first. They desperately need to be more physical in the interior defensive line. Draft or sign free agents to fix that problem. They need a pass rush, and it cannot be just Micah Parsons. They need at least 1 more speed rusher on the outside. They need inside power and push.

I would seriously consider trading Diggs after this season. He does not fit the style of defense I want to play. I want corners that will come up and support the run defense, not run away from tackles. Maybe they can get a first round pick for him if he improves his play in 2024. But I would assume they could get at least a 2nd.

Start playing Juanyeh Thomas and Marquise Bell more in their base defenses. Safety is another problem for this team and they need to find out if anyone they have is worth keeping. I don't see Hooker as a long term solution. Donovan Wilson got paid and is not the consistent player he was. Maybe he can fix that this year.

On offense, I would plan on obtaining at least 2 RBs for next year, one in the draft and maybe one more in free agency. I want more speed at RB. Start using Luepke as a power back now. See if he can handle that role. I would get Flournoy in there more often and see what he has to offer as a receiver. They are stuck with CeeDee for now but they need more speed and talent at WR. Draft and free agency will work to fix that too.

On the offensive line they have some big problems. Its going to take a couple of years to fix it with all the other problems they have. Martin will retire next year. They have to find his replacement. I would put Guyton back at LT now and let him learn the position, or fail. I think he has potential and needs another year to develop. Beebe I think will be fine in a year as well. Tyler Smith goes back to LG. Bass to RG, and then they have Steele. After this year they can move on from Steele and his contract. Maybe they can trade him. They need a replacement. Maybe Guyton moves to the RT and Smith stays at LT. Then they need a OG. Hoffman? or draft 1. Whatever, but this OL is awful and needs a major improvement.

I would fire all the coaches after this year. I like MM but it is time for some new ideas. I want young innovative coaches with passion and grit. I want coaches who will instill discipline and physicality into my team. I want coaches who will not tolerate repeated mental mistakes. No more favorites. Produce or leave.

If I am the GM of Dallas right now, I start planning for 2025. What are the greatest needs? Who are my free agents worth keeping? Where am I getting old? Who are my salvageable talents? What does my CAP look like going out 4 years? What definitive step can I take in the off-season to make significant improvements over 2024?

But most importantly, I would bring a new philosophy to the role. I would not be afraid to say no to my own players during contract negotiations, and I would be more than willing to use my CAP to pay for suitable free agents that can help me immediately.

I am sorry. I'd never say that I am Jerry the GM. Now, I could see myself as the owner of the Cowboys and all I would do is bring in the best mind I could find to establish the best operations in the NFL. Bring in a true football culture to the team. I'd get out of the way and let that happen. My conversations with that person would be behind closed doors and the general public would never hear from me unless I am doing something positive in community involvement. You'd see me doing things for Habitat for Humanity or riding in a poker run for something important. That's it. and I'd always leave the football conversations with those actually running the team. The one thing that Jerry and I would have in common is that I'd also say, "GO COWBOYS!" in public.

 

[JoeKing]

I retire as GM and give that job to Will McClay.

Easy to point at Zeke but the OL is getting owned and absolutely no reason running lanes being created. Most of the time the RB are tackled at the moment they get the ball behind the line..

Except when Rico runs the ball. Dowdle is averaging a respectable 4.2 YPC. Strange how that works.

 

[Diehardblues]

Jethro is never giving up the GM role.

I agree with that too

Jerry has no changes to make, because we like our guys.
And we are in complete control.
So you are wasting your time, and our time asking us questions.
