No chance. Some idiot team will take a chance on him high. Much more high than we'd be willing to trade up to. (thank God)

And I have a feeling Deion will want to follow his spawn. Think some place like NY.
Just have some faith. Jerry will step in for one last chance.

We couldn't be lucky enough for NY to get both Sanders.

Deion better just hope he can hold on to that Colorado job.

You know all he had to do was act sort of normal and he'd have that Colorado job for as long as he wanted. It's not that hard to be an improvement over what they were. But damn he is doing his best to make everyone dislike him as a coach.

"You’ve got a very significant problem in the NFL with dead money for coaches. :crazyAnd it’s because you’ve got extended contracts, to where if you let somebody go, you’ve got to pay off their contract. It’s gotten to be so much of an issue that you can decide if you want to do what you do this year and reshuffle the cards next year with them. There’s nothing that says I won’t be extending those coaches next year. They’re all good coaches. Obviously. That’s just the way I do it.

He's such a cheap asshole.

It's bad business. I think it sends the wrong message to the team.

I'm completely aboard the Bill Belichick train.

I get that he's older, but I don't think the guy has forgotten how to coach and I certainly don't believe that he has forgotten how to manage a football team and build a winning culture.

As I said before, the key for him is to bring in good assistants. If he does that then he has great chance to succeed in Dallas.
You fool.

They had a million other opportunities to sign/draft a RB and passed on it.

Sure, given how Lance looks you'd obviously rather have the pick than him, but it's not the sole reason they put together the ridiculous RB group that they did. It feels like they overcorrected (possibly due to analytics) after investing so much money into the position from the Elliott pick onward.

If things continue as they have been I'd guess they overcorrect in the opposite direction and take a RB in the first.

Absolutely they over corrected with RB. Got burned on the Zeke deal and now they feel RB is worthless, possibly, like you said, due to the nerds they hired.

BUT NOW, teams are running more than they have in years. :lol These hillbillies are always a day late and a dollar short with NFL trends.

I don't think they think that as an overcorrection to Zeke. As far back as when they let Murray walk they felt that way.

They found out they were wrong with Randle and McFadden and they're going to find out they're wrong now too.

Speaking of Murray, they were ahead of the curve running the ball back then when almost nobody else was, and they were pretty successful with it. But they squandered it.

Hey being a good GM in Dallas is always being 2-3 players behind the 8 bal every year. But he’s the best GD GM that this team will ever need.

One thing to be aware of is that if this season’s trend carries through, this will be one of the biggest rushing totals league wide in decades. And then the position will be inflated due to that and need. And watch us pick the wrong one.

This will be the line all the way up to the moment that they draft Jeanty 22 overall.
I know you're all in on Jeanty but I also think it's going to be a really good RB draft class. I don't think you'll have to use a first round pick on a RB to get a really good one. Hell we could have got a good RB last year without a first round pick too but we just straight up didn't try. Which if this is a rebuilding year I am kind of ok with. You probably have a RB for 4 years at a high level. Don't burn a year on a rebuilding season.

I'm also going to need you to consider Kaleb Johnson in your list of players to watch. He is currently the NCAA leading rusher and he is an absolute beast. The power he runs with is awesome. Plus, won't cost you a first round pick. It's amazing what the kid is doing especially considering Iowa's passing offense is still dogshit.

By the way he was on no ones radar so don't feel bad if you have no idea who the hell he is.
