^I’m ready to move on from Beas. Dude wanted to quit football, but Jerry begged him to come back and made the other players stop stuffing him in lockers.

Now he has millions, when Jerry could have let him go be a life insurance salesman somewhere.

Glad I'm not the only one with this opinion.

Beasley wants to get PAID. I would let him walk at this point. 

As he should. If we targeted him more often, he'd put up a lot of numbers. But I'd rather have a more versatile slot receiver that can play outside, with more speed, and more big play ability.

How about we just came up short in the playoff game vs the Rams. Jerry Jones doesn't have anything to do with that.

Yes he does. Had he made the correct changes at the beginning of the season or before that we may not have started off 3-5 and could have been in contention for a first round bye in all possibility.

You dont think there is some truth to it? Like buying the yacht?

Coop is great but I think his lack of physicality and size hurts him in the red zone.

We dont have that throw it up there and go get it type.

A better tight end would help. 

A better coordinator with some creativity is the biggest cause for concern in the redzone.

Coopers strength is his separation by route running and everything gets tight in the red zone.

Sigh. No, I don't.

  • To start, what does the yacht have anything to do with anything? Why does running a profitable team and spending money like most billionaires spend money, mean he doesn't care about winning? Robert Kraft has a yacht. Does he also not care about winning?
  • "Has not lifted a finger"... LOL, the dude shows up for the coaches meeting on Monday morning. Whether he should is another question entirely. But Jerry lifts many fingers and writes many checks (i.e. "money-whipping" assistant coaches) to try and help the team win.
  • This is also the guy that got in trouble with the league for spending too much when the league had an "uncapped" year.
  • In a world where many organizations are criticized for knee-jerk reactions, firing coaches after one season, and having no patience or long-term vision, Jerry has decided to be the opposite of that. Jerry thinks Garrett can be a coach that wins a Super Bowl, that's why he's still around. Not because, "oh we're still making money, so whatever".
  • As for "not being aggressive in the offseason", the league has a salary cap. There is a finite amount of money you can spend, and every decision has an opportunity cost. They used to have offseasons where they signed Marco Rivera, Jason Ferguson, and Anthony Henry. They went out and signed Brandon Carr, tried to sign Nnamdi Asomugha. They've made a strategic decision that building through the draft and signing your own guys is the better way to build a team given the realities of the league and the salary cap. It's a strategic decision, not a "let's not spend money because we are cheap and just care about profitability" decision.
  • Just ask yourself this question: If the league was able to get rid of the salary cap during the next CBA negotiations, where would the Cowboys rank in terms of payroll every season? The answer: Right at or very near the top. They'd be like the Yankees.
  • Finally, EVEN IF all he did care about was the money, a Super Bowl victory is worth an insane amount more than 9-7. So...

Now, if you want to argue that Jerry is not great at running the team, and it would result in more wins if he stepped aside or made various drastic changes to the way the organization operates, fine. If you want to argue that his big ego makes him falsely believe that he's capable contructing a Super Bowl winner, fine.

But the whole "he doesn't care because he's still making money." Ridiculous.

Beas has since said he didn't even know he liked the comment until someone else brought it to his attention. Probably a smart move from someone looking to get paid. Unless he wants paid elsewhere, which is likely to happen anyway, imo.

Exactly. To say Jerry doesnt care is wrong.

Jerry wants to make money and win. The biggest problem is he wants to be the reason why we win. That causes him to make dumb decisions and prevents him from stepping aside in certain situations.

Those two goals conflict. Earning means publicity. Publicity requires noise and flash. Noise and flash cause distraction. Distractions cause errors. Errors cause failures. Failures result in games being lost. Jimmy and Jerry got divorced over this.

A man with two watches will never know what time it is.

On Cousin Sal's gambling podcast on The Ringer, one of the cohost's (dunno his name but he's also a Cowboys fan) made the following remark about our loss to the Rams (at the 5 minute mark):

"Do you get the opinion that the Cowboys seemed totally fine with losing that game? Between the coaches, the players, even a lot of fans?"

That stung. I feel like that really sums up our year.

Not necessarily. 

Winning can equal money. The more you win, attract bigger fan base. More games you win can mean more playoff home games which means more revenue.

Extra money from winning superbowls.

This is such a stretch. The most successful franchise in football has dealt with SpyGate and DeflateGate. They had a tight end commit multiple murders before killing himself in prison. They've had their 70-something owner act in audition tapes with his 20-something girlfriend. They traded for a chronic pot user who then got indefinitely suspended. No one has had more distractions than the Patriots.

Jerry Jones may make decisions that are detrimental to the team. You act like he's making a conscious decision between money and winning. But anyway, the most profitable thing he can do is to have his team win the Super Bowl!

And finally, all the publicity means that Dallas Cowboys fans get the most coverage and access of any fan base in the country. I'm sure the Buffalo Bills would welcome you with open arms. You won't have to deal with distractions, and you'll never know wtf is happening with your team.
