I hard disagree with this.

They have a half built young team with plenty of cap space, including a QB who is playing probably the best of his career, which is by far the hardest part of a build. And by the way, the QB isn't young anymore and so if you tear it down you're essentially prematurely putting yourself in the position of needing a QB.

It doesn't make sense to tear it down at this point.

It makes way, way more sense to go...you know what.

Especially when you have an elite offense. One where the O-line is actually starting to get healthy.

I agree with you, no point in tearing things down. It really makes zero sense. You've basically got a 3 year window if you can bring Pickens back. Fixing the defense is going to be priority number 1 either during this season or after the season. But it doesn't do you any good if in the process you mess up the offense or lose your best special teams player. You're basically taking a step backwards in one spot in an attempt to fix another and you're back to where you started.

The only player I'd consider moving is Diggs. According to radio/podcast/whatever people there would be interest in Diggs. I see no way to redeem this Diggs situation so yeah, I'd move him for whatever I could get. But that's not about being a seller. That's about a player and organization that will never find a way to be friends again.

As far as being a buyer goes, I don't know that there is anyway to fix the defense midseason unless we are willing to boot Eberflus which doesn't seem like it's even an option with these idiots. So I have a hard time trading for anyone when I'm really trading for someone I hope will help the next defensive coordinator. An unknown person and scheme. So the only point in trading for someone is if you get a guy so talented that it doesn't matter who the defensive coordinator is.

These dummies think the NFL is like the NBA where you're either a title contender/borderline contender or you're in full rebuild mode. Up until the last year or two damn near 1/3rd of the NBA was in tank/rebuild mode at any given time.

So these morons have taken that very black/white view of things and applied it to the NFL, where there is significantly more grey area and room for a team to go from 7-8 wins one year to 11-12 the next.

Yeah it's a different world when you can throw three guys on a team in an offseason and become a title contender regardless of the rest of the roster. The impact of one player in the NBA is just so different than the NFL.

The MLB is different too where some teams legitimately don't have money and prospects are extremely cheap. So yeah, in baseball if you can't afford to buy a contender you have to sell hard to get the cheap young talent to have any shot down the road. Again, just way different than the NFL where basically every NFL team has the money to pay their players.

Yep. It's unfortunate but this is what we have. Maybe it never goes away even after Jerry is gone. The rest of the family might think the same exact way, but be smart enough to not say it out loud. If you're a player or a fan, you just have to come to terms with this. if you're going to stay on the ride.

It's not outside the realm of possibility that Cleveland called and asked about Dak, but I doubt it. There's even a slight chance that Cleveland lied to Garrett about trying to trade for Dak to trick him into signing, but again I strongly doubt it.

There's zero chance it ever would have been considered by Dallas because a) Dak has a no trade clause and b) trading him would mean about a $100 million dollar cap hit for Dallas.

But regardless I think this guy is full of shit.

Not only that but why would you dismantle your offense to try to build the defense. Just would make zero sense.
