Awful lot of speculation in that assumption.They interviewed Judge the same day McCarthy signed with Dallas. I doubt they were going back to Mike even if Judge bombed. Mike is a "win now" guy, and that ain't the Giants. Bad fit.
Honestly at this point it's like the Cowboys are just too proud to concede and do a 4 year deal. It's like they don't want to look like failures. But seriously, who cares about the difference between 33 mil for four years or 35. 33 would make us all feel warm and fuzzy but 2 mil a year extra gets you a backup scrub in the NFL.
My gawd, I hope so. I haven't been this anxious for a season to begin since Parcell's first year.
Yeah, but I don't think that's what he was saying.Picking a guy higher doesn't cause a player to be better.
All I'm saying is that the higher you draft a QB, the better your chances of winning a championship. That's what recent history tells us. If Dak pulls it off, he will be an anomoly.Yeah, but I don't think that's what he was saying.
But maybe I'm misunderstanding the debate.
Sure, but that is due to the fact that drafting a QB higher nets you a better chance of getting, say, a top 10 or top 15 QB.All I'm saying is that the higher you draft a QB, the better your chances of winning a championship.

Yeah the relevance is only if you're replacing Dak I wouldn't be looking anywhere but the top guys.Sure, but that is due to the fact that drafting a QB higher nets you a better chance of getting, say, a top 10 or top 15 QB.
The Cowboys may have gambled and defied this trend, but the gamble already occurred and the Cowboys already won. They already have a top-10 or top-15 QB or however you want to qualify Prescott. Moving forward Dak has just as much of a chance if not a better chance to win than say, Kirk Cousins, who was drafted ahead of him.
I'm as concerned as anyone, but your argument only has relevance for pointing out "The Cowboys already beat the odds once, and chances are against them beating the odds again by overpaying Prescott."
For sure, to that.
I don't think that's a big hurdle at all. It just shows how hard it is for a coach to win the Superbowl. Coaches have gone to the Superbowl with two teams before. They just haven't won both times. And most great coaches don't switch teams.Another historical hurdle is McCarthy winning a title with two different teams, which has yet to be done.
If its never been done before, it's a hurdle. You're asking him to pull off what Shula, Holmgren, Vermeil, Reeves, Fox, Reid and Parcells couldn't.I don't think that's a big hurdle at all.

It's no different than any new coach winning a superbowl. Having won it with the Pakers doesn't somehow make it harder to do now.If its never been done before, it's a hurdle. You're asking him to pull off what Shula, Holmgren, Vermeil, Reeves, Fox, Reid and Parcells couldn't.
Yep, generally when a SB winning coach comes to a new team it's because that team is rebuilding and need the boost of an elite coach. That is not the situation here. We have a talented team. It was just tainted by shit coaching.In addition, how many coaches who went to other teams came to teams that were as talented as when they had won before. Theoretically, this team is top 5-10 in talent especially on offense. His chances are better than most in his circumstance.
Russell and Trubisky were thought of as first rounders, though. Even high first rounders. Are we talking over drafted, or just first round busts? Because then that would include Jeff George, Ryan Leaf, Todd Marinovich, etc...Aside from Jamarcus Russell and Mitch Trubisky, who were the most ridiculously overdrafted 1st round QB selections:
Even though they busted, Manziel was a legit mid 1st rounder, Vince Young was a legit Top 10, Blaine Gabbert Top 15, etc

Not that Dungy was a shitty coach, but Gruden got the Bucs over the hump.Yep, generally when a SB winning coach comes to a new team it's because that team is rebuilding and need the boost of an elite coach.
