Ok, so there is nobody here that can argue that Jerry Jones has an amazing mind for showmanship, branding, and business. It's being a GM and having a good 'football' mind where he comes up short.
He is now 4th highest, and his hit is now $12 million less than what it was before he signed the new extension, as I noted above. The reason for reducing his hit this year is a huge mystery, because they passed that forward to next year and that hit is now $89 million. All it does is give them $12 million more to play with before the trade deadline if they pursue someone to make a run…..and it should be obvious that they need a lot more than just 1 player at this point. Otherwise, it’s a total waste to not just let the hit come this season. The time to actually do something productive with that $12 million was months ago when the draft and free agency were in play.
He threw for 379 yards and 2 TD's and rushed for another one.
1. 4th highest-- good. They need him to play like the 4th highest. Hes not.
28-6 with 8 mins to go in the game... he hadnt even led his team into the red zone in 8 possessions and 3.5 quarters... sorry that aint good enough to win.
They ended the first quarter in the red zone. That's when Ceedee fumbled.
excuse me then. 8 drives. 3.5 quarters. they never ran 1 play in the red zone.
Sorry, but that's still incorrect. They ran plays from the red zone. They ran a play from the 9, which resulted in an offensive holding penalty. Then they ran another play from the 19, which was a pass to CeeDee at the 9 where he fumbled. At that point, it was 14-3. They score there and it's 14-10 and a very different ballgame.
Yeah, I just sent my last response. I'm done now.
My mistake-- 2 plays from the red zone in 3.5 quarters and 8 drives.
or how the highest paid QB in the league cant lead his team to a TD for 3.5 quarters of the game.. and we think he played great.
This is easily the most random and hilarious thing that anyone has ever pulled out of their *** to say about me. Just a national treasure.
I would say blaming dak at every turn and your standard diva’ish behavior. Finger pointing instead of buckling down, looking in the mirror and getting it done.
dumpster fire by seasons end most likely.
The Dallas D has gave up 70 points in 6 quarters. But yeah, Dak should've played better. Sorry for whatever he did to you, but you're off your rocker. The title of the OP says it all. If Dallas D was even mediocre, they are 3-0.
They were winning that game regardless. Baltimore dominated the game on both sides of the ball. Baltimore went into prevent mode a little at the end of the game. Had the defense played better it would have been 21-6 or 21-9. I doubt dallas even scores a TD.
The talent on the roster has already been downgraded and will continue to be over the next few seasons. Daks contract combined with Lamb and Parsons on the way.
My post read like this: “When you’re paying your QB $240MM, it’s hard to go on a shopping spree.”
and its fact. Jerry said they couldnt afford Henry. its true. If Dak wants a running game, take a few million less. Brady did.
Except that Jerry is a 17ing liar. Dak’s 2024 cap hit dropped by $12 million when signed the extension. Derrick Henry’s 2024 salary is $8 million. They could have landed Henry for just what they saved on Dak in 2024……IF they’d gotten the deal done a year ago or even 6 months ago. Even now, Dallas has the 7th highest free cap space in 2024 at over $25 million. If Henry was available right now at $20 million….yep….Dallas could sign him.
Never know what the other strings attached to it all was. Henry all but said Baltimore was his top choice. He could have been wanting much more than from Dallas and others and took a discount to go to Baltimore
It’s a fact that an aging Henry would have played for $15-20 million in Dallas instead of $8 million in Baltimore. No chance in hell that doesn’t happen. Therefore, Jerry saying they “couldn’t afford” Henry is a lie. It just is.
It has nothing to do with how easy or not easy it is. It could be done under the cap. Jerry simply preferred not to do it, but wasn’t going to come out and say that and look like a fool after how badly the Dallas run game has looked.
You seem to truly not understand or grasp that Dak is counting less money towards the cap this year than if he didn’t sign the extension. As far as it relates to the 2024 season and the Cowboys’ roster construction for this season, he took a pay cut. Period. He’s counting less to the cap than he would have if he’d simply played out the old deal. Not even up for debate. Dak’s lack of supporting cast this year therefore has absolutely nothing to do with him and everything to do with the GM.
