So is the plan for the offseason *really* going to be something like
Franchise tag a Running back that is coming off a pretty bad ankle break and then double down and extend the QB that led the league in interceptions, in 5 less games than Davis Mills.
Cowboys have a unique philosophy with paying running backs, but with the draft supposed to be sorta deep at the position, would you want them to let both backs walk and go cheap at RB?
I think the plan involves a lot less passive aggressive takes but we have thick skin around here so no biggie….
Some of us think those picks were due to an outdated and predictable offensive scheme. It will be interesting to see how that works out in SD.
I think they extend the QB because that frees up cap space. They haven’t really paid the piper on Dak yet but that’s besides the point. When he signed his contract he was the second most paid and by the time the offseason is over he will be like the 15th highest paid QB and that deal will look better every year after.
They won’t need to franchise pollard nor should they.
Agree there. But Dallas operates sometimes counterintuitively from an objective standpoint, like trading Amari Cooper without a real backup plan.
While I get extending Dak makes sense, maybe other players will start asking for extensions coming of subpar/OK years. Could be something that backfires, maybe maybe not.
Some of think the picks are made due to an outdated and scheme, but Jerry only knows how he won his titles before and seems to keep trying to duplicate that. Just a totally different game now than 1995. Not sure he will every adapt/catch up enough in time for the success fans are looking for.
A lot of what they do is cap planning. From the best I can tell Amari would ***** and moan a lot. He got annoyed at running the same routs over and over, complained and ran his own routs sometimes. Dak strikes me as the soldier type. He runs what’s called and doesn’t want to hear that noise. Just run it.
Dak didn’t request an extension.
As far as you’re slimy, Ben Shapiro-esk comment about it being a sub par or down year - none of that has any relevance to the discussion since it isn’t about the Cowboys. If that’s how you do things, go for it. If you think I’m going to get defensive and start talking about your team, that isn’t how we are.
Nobody here thinks Dak Prescott is Joe Montana.
