The whole thing that confuses me is why was a run stopper the key to the deal? I thought run stoppers were unimportant based on our history.
I mean Clark has put up some sack numbers. Just not last year.

If they realize all of a sudden their run D is fucking garbage, why not pull the plug on Mazi? He is fucking week old fucking trash.

Yea I was wondering about that, pretty interesting overall given they could've drafted a guy like Harmon or even Nolen in the 1st instead of Booker.

I highly doubt that if we had done that they'd have insisted on adding an OG in a Parsons trade.

Maybe Eberflus really got in their ears after seeing it upfront and personal in TC.

Instead of pulling the plug we will just bury him as like the 6th DT on the roster. Who the hell needs 6 DTs?

I wonder how many other teams in the league have two first round OGs?

Almost posted that... it sounds crazy, but what if they think so much of Eberflus that when he told them, "Bro, this isn't going to work" they actually listened?

I guess the bright side is that there is now room at the inn for the other FAs to be like Bland and especially Tyler Smith.

That is nice but pretty fucking damning if so.

It is a complete farce. Anyone could have seen Mazi Smith as a POS off of tape, much less having to see his stupid ass live.

Might've been like when Jerry begged Parcells to give Quincy and Hutch a chance. :lol

It is just terrible value to a team that has owned you in the post-season and is in your conference. It was emotional, just like it was with Cooper.

Week 4 seems about right for Dak‘s inevitable season-ending injury. Will be fun watching the Eagles/Packers championship game.

pathetic.

Yea, who knows, ultimately to me this trade isn't about right now. I wanted a youngish player to help balance the run defense but at the end of the day trading Parsons was about giving ourselves max flexibility to plan for life after Dak.

Now, maybe Dak goes out and has a season like 2023 this year, and maybe a bunch of the QB prospects go back to school or don't impress, but even if that's the case we have a bunch of 1's to put a strong roster around his stupid inflated salary.

And then maybe he tanks in 2026, and a QB opportunity presents itself, we'll still have enough resources to kind of do what we want.

It just further cements the stupidity of the FO. For years they’ve ignored the DT position, or tried to cover the position with undersized or JAG players.
Now, all of sudden the light bulb went off that there’s a need for a real DT just because you traded away a premium player in Parsons?

I think even the biggest Jerry Jones nut huggers are incensed about this trade.

Between the Netflix series and this, there’s zero hope for the Cowboys. I’m hoping there’s a ton of empty seats this season.

I didn't think I could be more down about the team going into the season as I was last year. And Jerry somehow proves me wrong again. You know the dumbass thinks he just pulled off the Herschel Walker trade again in his own mind.

Fucking Schott doesn't have a chance.

This team is already probably ready to pack it in, because if the players didn't know this team wasn't serious about winning, they sure af know it now.

And that’s the final blow. The damage a spectacle like this does to your team, days before the regular season starts. They either don’t think about things like that or they don’t give af.
