Jerry famously made the trade for Amari Cooper, giving up a #1 pick as the high price tag. The Cowboys then won 7 of their last 8 games to win the NFC East that year and even won a wild card round game vs Sea before being spanked by the rams in the divisional round. (When the rams ran for 270 yards! Yeah imagine that – not being able to stop the run)
But the 2024 season is different. Our GM is not only arrogant and unprepared, worse, he and his entitled son are both incompetent when it comes to understanding how to put an NFL roster together that wins playoff games. That’s not even disputable. They literally appear to not understand how the salary cap works.
And doubly worse, they know this year is tanked. It became a kamikaze mission back in the spring when this FO decided losing 8 major contributors at key positions could be replaced by untested rookies and dumpster dive FAs. And they decided “who needs a running game?“ The die was cast months ago, not yesterday in Atlanta.
This 2024 season ship has sailed. There will not be any cavalry riding to the rescue. That 2018 team had some holes but not like this 2024 team. This year’s team is quite simply bad. Yes Dak has played poorly, we have no running game threat, our rookies and young players have mostly been below average, and those dumpster dive FA cast-offs have been what 31 other teams thought they were. Not to mention a coaching staff who has been tuned out by the players.
I know a pig when I see one. No amount of lip stick is going to make this thing look better.
