Literally the best name ever. Seriously. Wish I could have as my username. And about the only meaningful contribution you’ve ever made on this here site.
mahomes is mahomes. Let’s not compare
Mahomes is maybe the best ever, but still can’t pass to himself, hand off to himself, pass block for himself, run block, or stop the other team from doing anything offensively. He still had to have a legit roster built around him.
Goff was 3- the team had no other super stars players ready to get paid. Goff paid it off, much like dak couldn’t in a similar situation with cooper and lamb. Goff and the lions will have 1-2 more years before they are faced with cap decisins
Dallas had no other superstars ready to get paid either, dumbshít. CeeDee was still on rookie deal. Same with Parsons. Only DeMarcus Lawrence at $17 million and Pollard at $10.1 million made a ton. Pollard’s deal was 17ing stupid….they should have let him walk and drafted an RB. Michael Gallup made $7 million - also stupid. They had almost zero investment in the interior DL, which cost them dearly in every game that they didn’t get out to an early 2-TD lead and use their pass rush. Only Jerry Jones does dumb crap like this. That is the point.
ETA: Here’s another unbelievable one. In terms of highest QB cap hits in 2024, Dallas has 3 of the Top 41 in the league. Dak of course is #2, Trey Lance is #31, Cooper Rush is #41. There are 32 NFL teams. So yeah, that’s right….there will be at least 2 NFL teams guaranteed to be paying their starting QB less than the Cowboys are paying their 3rd string QB. And oh yeah, this same phenom 3rd stringer….they didn’t even pick up his 5th year option. So he’s literally gone after this season, too. Also cost them a 4th rounder that they could have used on some cheap upgrades at most any position of need. Money and common sense down the toilet. The great Jerry Jones, ladies and gentlemen.
5- Lamar Jackson- see above. No offensive talent on the field besides Lamar.
Lol wut? Andrews played over half the year and is a Top 2-3 TE in the league. His backup Isaih Likely was also a high draft capital TE who is very athletic….he’s better than anyone on Dallas’ roster. Zay Flowers was an electric rookie who came into his own in the playoffs. Gus Edwards is a far better bellcow option than Pollard, but he didn’t even have to be that because Justice Hill was also very good. Add in the OL and the punishing defense at every level, and you have a real contender.
And he’s a two time mvp, IE worth it, much more worth it than Dak.
He was also statistically worse than Dak in both passer rating and QBR. So no, he wasn’t “much more worth it” than Dak just because his franchise has a defense that isn’t soft as grandma’s titties, and a cohesive offense that complements his skill set and can plug and play talented, low cost weapons at RB, TE, and WR.
He made players around him better, played without his starting running back and tight end for the majority of the season.
He makes no one better except his OL and sometimes WR’s due to elusiveness. Dak makes his whole offense better, too. Edwards was the starter all year, so no, he didn’t lose him. Dobbins was overrated and was done before the 2nd quarter of the first game. Doesn’t matter, Baltimore will always be built to run the football.
And they are now facing the cap issued as they just lost their stud mlb.
And signed Derrick Henry.
