Dallas Cowboys 2024 Season Thread -- Jerrah the Asshat Rides Again

Featured Replies

The worst part about this is that you can't even consider cutting Dak until at least 2027 and even then it would be over 30 million in dead money. If you didn't give into his insane demands you could hope to tank and start over with someone on a rookie deal and spend the money elsewhere. We're probably looking at another few years at least of hoping to steal a WC bid only to get blown out before you can clean house and try again. Even that doesn't look great if JJ is the one calling shots on the rebuild.

    The Brian Schottenheimer hire is the Jonathan Mingo of trades, the Taco Charlton of draft picks, the Terence Steele of contract extensions, the blinding 3pm glare of stadium designs.

Offensive line sucks.

Defensive line sucks.

Either Tolbert sucks or the coaching staff can't figure out how to use him properly while defenses are concentrating on Lamb. Doesn't seem all that complicated. Maybe partly both, but I think the scheming is the bigger problem. Even a schlub should get a few catches as the second wide out in a game like this.

GM definitely sucks. 

Niners were definitely beatable, about as beatable as they are ever going to see any time soon. Coaches suck.

 

So does ou

Dak is a scapegoat.  The team flat out sucks.  They are below average at all position groups outside of linebacker and cornerback (if they were all healthy).  Dak and Lamb's contracts are easy to point at, but those 2 aren't why they are losing games.  2 players can't overcome a shitty roster in the NFL.  All of the hate should be directed at Jones.  It really is all his fault.

We watched Hocus Pocus withe kids until 8 or so. Then I put the Cowboys game on and promptly feel asleep on the couch. Almost forgot to even check this score this morning. Got on espn.com to check what time the WS Series game started tonight, then remembered I didn't actually watch he game last night.

The Cowboys might not win 7 games this year.  They are pathetic. 

You think?  Perfect time to trade a first rounder for a washed up player hoping to turn things around. 

Hey, at least we're still better than the Giants.

Probably.

Maybe.

Oh please, Dak isn't a scapegoat.  He's absolutely part of the problem on the field.  His contract dictates he needs to play like a top 3 or 4 QB.  He's not even close to that.  But yes it is Jerry's fault for signing him to that contract since Dak wouldn't take less than everything he could and Jerry is too proud to let go of the QB he "found".  It was well within Dak's right to get everything he could and good for him.

Jerrah had the right to remain silent... just not the ability.

Tons of us said not to sign Dak at that price.  Fuck it...it's just money, and terrible QB play.

The bullshit thing is that Jerry had all the leverage (contract year, Dak wasn't planning on holding out) and he completely gave it away.  Just bad business. 

Let the year play out then work a deal.  What's the worst that could happen?  Dak plays great and earns top pay? Awesome!  

Alternatively if he sucks, like he does, let him walk or sign him at a discount.  

Unless we draft lights out, or can find someone stupid enough to take Dak's contract off our hands, we're gonna be bad for awhile.

Jerrah = Boo-urns.

 

So the Cowboys will be represented by a fat, lazy, bumbling moron who is oblivious to the glaringly obvious situations of his life, and as a result continually offends and enrages the people around him?

Well, that's a stretch.

I mean he's only the CEO. He's not ALSO the best and only GM on the planet capable of guiding the 49ers.

So duh. You don't give airtime to a loser like that.

If they are losing toward the end of the game I watch for the schadenfreude. It makes me very happy to watch Jerry go through what I went through in the second half of the 90's and first couple of years of the 2000's. He finally is reaping what he sowed. We on the other hand stopped caring a long time ago. Don't get me wrong I will jump on that bandwagon if it ever comes close to going by me in my lifetime.

The draft has become a huge issue and they don't fill in roster holes with free agency.  You can't get better when that's the case.  There is no hope for the foreseeable future as long as Jerry is in control.

If you're Dak, why not just sandbag the next 3 seasons then retire? You know deep down you aren't winning anything in this organization. The owners aren't trying to win. Why even bother more than the minimum?

Deep down there are only a handful of organizations that have a legit shot of winning something over the next few years.  Dallas isn't one of them along with a whole lot of other teams and players.  Do you think deep down everyone on the Giants, Jags, Titans, Jets, Colts, Raiders, Saints, Browns, or Panthers should just commit career suicide?  All these teams are just as lost, the Cowboys aren't unique in their ineptitude.

Yep. Reality is most teams aren't actually trying to win. It's a business. A grift. Like religion, they get to you when you're young.

In  the late 90s Erin Hogan said he would walk to Dallas if the Cowboys won a super bowl with Jerry at GM. He has yet to worry.

I would say the Cowboys under Jerry since his "I want the credit tantrum" are pretty unique in ineptitude. Although you picked a few organizations that are right there with Jerry.

Here are the top NFL playoff wins since 2000:

    New England Patriots: 30 wins, including 6 Super Bowl wins ¹
    Baltimore Ravens: 17 wins, including 2 Super Bowl wins ¹
    Kansas City Chiefs: 16 wins, including 3 Super Bowl wins ¹

Washington is nowhere to be found on that list.  They finally unfuck themselves by dumping their version of Jerry Jones and hey looky there, things seem to be turning around

They've also been this terrible with 2 borderline franchise QBs back to back for the last 18 years. How do you not at least blind luck into one NFC title game in 18 years with a franchise QB? Even the Bears lucked into a super bowl appearance with Rex fucking Grossmann in that time. 

It's why I really wanted to see Dak leave after the season. If he was able to go to another team with some talent and get to an NFC title game that would seal the deal with more than the mountain of circumstantial evidence already available. 

And this bastard bought his historically inept ass in to cheapening the hall of fame.

If paying your QB top 5 money doesn't give you an automatic 9 or 10 win floor, you shouldn't do it. It's that simple.

In that case, have you looked at the record of the Dallas Cowboys in the years Dak has been the starting QB and he was not injured??

I finally thought Jerry was taking care of all family business in 2024.  Fat Mike and all coaches contract in last year. Dak playing on final year.  CeeDee playing out.  Tons of cap room with lots of old talent contracts gone.  Trade some folks like parsons for more draft capital.  Great position for 2025.  
 

but Noooooo!  Jerry boofooed himself with that last minute Dak deal.  Rest of team sees it as stupidity and don’t play hard for him as they know a $ he gets is a $ they won’t.  And don’t be surprised when Jerry signs fat Mike to another contract.

100% correct. Get rid of the head fuck up in the organization and anyone halfway competent can turn it around quickly.

And in 1 or 2 seasons Washington can match Jerry's playoff success over the last quarter century.

Well, shit. I'll just sit back and enjoy my remaining 6 wins then.

It’s a crossover meme:

I know we'll get a retread and hate it, but that's what they should do.
