Dallas fans excited about the draft now

5BowlsSoon : 11/29/2020 6:00 pm
After their humiliating loss Thursday most fans on this fan website I was browsing seem to be looking forward to the draft, especially seeing they may be picking top 5. (Sounds like us the past 4 years.)

Jets-0 wins
Jax-1
Cinci..2
Dallas, chargers, Eagles, ...3 wins

Houston, Denver, Wash, Giants, Detroit, Atl, Carolina, SF.......4 wins

What caught my eye was a good many are okay with picking up a qb and not having to worry about Dak’s injury and contract. Although, a good bit wanted to strengthen weak links, like secondary and DL.

Dak and his agents are beyond dumb. They were arguing over a couple of mil a year and had this ego of reaching 40 mil per year. Dallas 100% should look at the QBs in the draft.

I agree.....I’m sure he is regretting holding out now. I’m not sure he will be 100% at start of training camp. I agree with you....you can save a lot of cap space by ditching Dak and picking up a guy who can be just as good if not better.

I feel bad for Dak. Not sure he’ll ever get an offer like that again. He took bad advice.

The pretty much rolled the dice that QBs generally have a miniscule percentage of a catastrophic injury happening. For a guy that wasn't making any money outside his endorsements, he should have taken it when offered. They sticking point was reasonable though, they wanted a 4 year deal, which would have been very unusual for any team and especially Dallas, because they favor signing to their guys for very long contracts. They wanted to do that for the renegotiated CBA that year. Seems foolish now, and just another proof point, in the NFL, you gotta get paid when you can more times than not.
With the possible cap hit with COVID

I thought that Dak was crazy not to jump before the season started. I still hold out hope that they sign him to a crazy big contract.

Cowgirls wanted a 5 year deal (cap reasons), Dak held tough for a 4 year deal (renegotiate after 3). Dak had never been hurt...understandable he'd bet on himself. $30 mil this year and tons of money in endorsements rolling in. Not to mention, the Red Rocket has made him more valuable.
Don't feel bad for Dak..Jerruh is going to pay him for sure

The mess down here in Dallas almost guarantees that Jerruh opens up the bank vault for Dak.
The more interesting question down here is what will he do with his head coach???
The 2021 draft will be real interesting for the Cowboys: OL,DL and secondary players.

Do you think Jerry will cut McCarthy after one year, even knowing this year was different with no preseason and an entire new coaching staff? I think if he does that he is showing the world that he is an idiot and a bumbling fool.
Dallas has fallen fast

I know everyone has injuries, their O-line got hit hard. Now their fans are finding out what is like to struggle in the O trench. They have been spoiled for years (but with very little overall team success?!). They have so many needs at this moment starting with a competent head coach. I do see the Cowboys struggling to get to .500 for a few years. Maybe the Eagles will be the same? While this year is still a stretch to make the playoffs, we just aren't that good, the needle is pointing upward though. We need to seize this time and upcoming years while the other NFC east opponents are struggling.

We have struggled for too long. Lets make the next decade a ten year stretch of success!
Screw Prescott
