2022 Cowboys Free Agency Thread

[AAron_Burr8]

This video I think does a good job of showing some of the errors that routinely occur with Prescott. Warner also bashes on the concepts pretty hard but I think the video speaks for itself as far as opportunities that were missed by the 40 million dollar QB lol ... (he also missed seeing Cooper on a wide open double move which should have been a TD earlier in the game)

This stuff shows up a lot throughout the year with Prescott, hes reading the wrong sides of the field, he is late to recognize pressure and go to hot routes, these are all signs of mediocre QB play.

I will say, I am not the biggest fan of Moore (he def ain't no boy genius) but Dak is a bigger problem than Moore

 

[AAron_Burr8]

props. #12-15 puts Dak all below Kyler Murray, Kirk Cousins, Derek Carr and Ryan Tannehill, Lamar Jackson, right?

I think he is better thank Kirk Cousins but the others yes

He might be better than Derek Carr too actually

I wouldn't be paying any of these guys 40+ million long term tho, 3 decades of salary cap era show that is a really bad plan ...

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Burks is gonna be a Cowboy. You can book it. Maybe after a one or two spot trade down so they can feel even better about it.

Wouldn't shock me. He is a really good player and a trade down to do it would certainly make it feel better. He is a top 24 talent in this draft. I worry about the fit with Dak but I think the guy would do well here.

Moore and Dak can be a bad combo vs experienced and well-coached defenses.

On so many of these called out plays either routes moved players right into zones and Dak felt he had to press or Dak didn’t set his feet to match route depth or Dak straight up didn’t react quickly enough.

Lamb didn’t help much either, but the WRs were not nearly at fault.

When both your OC calls head-scratching plays and your QB is off it’s going to be a long day.

I can’t believe we let that team take that game from us. The WR talent we fielded was insane

 

[ravidubey]

Exactly. There is no way we should have paid him what he got on the open market.

His deal is really 2 years 14 mil and you cut him if you aren’t getting production or keep a productive guy for his third year. Easy.

The guaranteed payout is 3 mil more than they guaranteed Blake Jarwin who did little more than piss blood for his money.

Stop talking this into existence please.

I still can’t understand why we rushed to sign him.

Seizing on any possible attempt to make themselves looks like great drafters/player aquisition-ers

 

[Genghis Khan]

Because they thought it was cheap. Which it wasn't when you take into account the extremely limited production.

Getting essentially nothing out of a cheap contract (7 mil let's say) is a bigger cap issue than getting a lot out of an expensive contract (20 mil for example).

Production is always more valuable than non-production regardless of price.

I said it a few days ago but it's like Stephen gets off on "finding value" and "being efficient" in terms of free agency, as opposed to actually using the resources available to build the best roster possible.

Because it so obviously works, doesn’t it?

Stephen definitely runs it like a business.

I still think he can be a good owner if he'll hire a GM and let that person take the lead like what usually happens in the NFL.

Being the most profitable sports team matters to the family, and he has it set up to pump out the $ consistently.

But the team needs to be crafted...keep drafting well and fill in your gaps with free agency.

He needs to come to terms with the fact, though, that it's time to spend some money....$1/2 billion over 5 years or such. Can he make a committment that forces him to maybe watch that $5billion value drop for a short time for an honest attempt at winning a Super bowl?

My pipe dream is Aikman at GM...give us 5 good years and let's win a couple more SB.

It can happen, but not until ol' Jer's gone.

 

[ravidubey]

Now compare Wilson to Lamb and Jarwin, Wilson was 45/602 and 6 TDs on 528 snaps with Lamb 79/1102 and 6 in 881 snaps. Jarwin’s best is 31/365 and 3 in 434 snaps.

Wilson provides nice value, and has improved every season.

Jarwin wasn’t known for his blocking either.

I guess they planned to draft a WR high the moment they released Cooper.

HopefullyHOPEFULLY Stephen will understand that his father was Oz, the man behind the curtain and he's no Oz.
If he likes money, he'll have to realize that without Jerry the overall value of the Cowboys will go downhill and that's much bigger than any savings on the Cap.

So he'll have to do things that haven't been done in decades here and that's stuff like running the Cowboys like a professional team and not like a family lemonade stand any longer just to keep the value up.

Hopefully.

Sheeeeeeit.

He is going to run it into the ground.

 

[Corso]

Yeah. I know.
My only hope is that his miserliness will freak himself out when he sees the value of the team dropping by half a billion as he's fiddling like Nero and no circus barker to back him up.

Why would the value of the team drop tho? We have a dumbass fanbase that will keep going to the games and buying merch no matter what

Guaranteed: Stephen at the helm drops the value of the franchise by quite a bit and it won't take long.
He can't hold Jerry's jock when it comes to keeping the franchise in the spotlight and relevant.

When Jerry goes, there will be a void that won't be filled and it will affect the value of the franchise.

I think Corso is right.

I don't think Stephen has Jerry's business accumen and while there are certain aspects of the team that sell themselves, Jerry has done a tremendous job from both a marketing and relevancy standpoint -- so much so that he changed the way the NFL does business as a whole.

Just to give you an idea, watch that Bill Parcells football life if you haven't already and just watch what he says about learning about business from Jerry Jones.

For some reason, I just don't think Stephen is going to be anywhere near that savvy so that means the team is going to have to be good more often than not in order to sustain that same level of revenue.

It'll be interesting to see what he does at that point.

 

[p1_]

Do it, Stephen. Fits your MO to a 'T'.
