That wasn't my point. It was more that teams like the Bengals have been hampered by ownership that didn't want to spend money. That is not the reason the Cowboys have been generally ineffective at producing a contender over the last 23 years.
You're the first one who brought up the eagles in here today. Everyone else was just having pretty respectful conversation about the Cooper trade and Cowboys' recent moves.
Oh really?
Do you not realize that every time you guys posted here you do it with such a condescending and prententoius tone that it makes me wonder if you’re sitting on a yacht holding a champagne glass with your pinky out while your wife, Muffy pets her toy dog.
If you could ever post something that didn’t have a negative slant for the Cowboys I might be inclined to believe you. You don’t.
"I don't think Dak and that offense is the best situation for Cooper to turn it around in" isn't very condescending or pretentious. At least, it wasn't meant to be.
That really say's it all right there. And also shows how terrible the Dolphins front office is as well. They gave away Landry for nothing. Landry has put up monster numbers and that is all the Dolphins could muster up for him. Oh wait.....of course they wait till the 11th hour when the entire league knows they are at odd's over a contract extension and know they can get him cheaper in terms of trade assets. The Dolphins are a laughing stock front office.
However it would’ve been a good move for the Eagles, right?
Welcome to Football Jones in the Eagles thread.
No, I usually support Howie but I'm not thrilled that he offered a 2nd for Cooper. I actually met Howie on Sunday, if I knew he had offered that I would have begged him not to haha. No chance would any of our fans be happy with us giving up a 1st for Cooper. ANY nfl team paying that much for him seems very odd when there's draftable guys in the teens that are far more attractive from a talent and contract perspective.However it would’ve been a good move for the Eagles, right?
Im done, you just don’t get it or see it.
ive made my point or at least said how I felt. I won’t make an issue of it going forward. It’s just a shame, because you’re obviously a passionate fan you just can’t remove your hatred for the Cowboys to make it a worthwhile discussion.
I can’t control other posters, you and everybody else on the board knows how I feel since you decide to post our private message but let’s move on from that display of etiquette.
Like I said, many people besides myself feel Dallas is on the verge of something really good.
Where do have us cap wise? I haven’t looked recently but don’t believe it’s super rosy if I recall correctly.
I’d have to look myself, but I remember looking into it earlier & it was pretty good.
The Cowboys are $55 million under the cap in 2019, however, that does not include Lawrence who is not signed for next year. It also has Elliot and Prescott on the last year of their rookie deals, so the Cowboys could have a significant bump in their salaries in 2020 if they resign Elliot and Prescott to long-term deals. Even if they let Prescott go, they probably won't be able to get by with a 4th round starting QB again.
I’m not saying you’re wrong but I thought it was 74 million next year.
I don't mean to single to you out but this is what I find challenging with our fan base. Only looking at certain facts with looking at a bigger picture. We have multiple high end players to pay still and that space is spoken for. McClay is not going on a shopping spree with that money, it's staying on current players (Zeke and Lawrence - hopefully). I am going to look at the cap and other players - but as thought it was not rosy.
I think you already knew what the cap situation was (in general), LOL. I didn’t give you an exact figure because I couldn’t recall it. Put it this way, it’s above par.
For the record, I don’t consider you a “jackwagon” fan.
Ya I thought I was being pretty fair in here today and was trying to be respectful and not take shots.
I got my numbers from Overthecap.com if you are interested. I think they do a pretty good job.
Who's right about what? The level of appropriate optimism?
I thought I spelled it out. You don’t see the upside I do.
Sorry, I wasn't saying Overthecap was more accurate. Just giving you another source of information that I find useful. It's all good.Appreciate it. SportTrac is similar. I won't fight over a couple of milliion
Oh good - more generalizations about my thoughts. I will stop as I don't wish to hijack any further.
At this point, I’ve learned to just stop.
Cooper Averages over first 3 years: 68 catches, 986 yards, 6 TD's
There's a difference between a pessimist and a realist. Something an optimist might have a hard time seeing.
Let’s get real, LOL.
Just because Cooper is 24 and not as big a diva as Bryant doesn't mean he is a major upgrade.Let’s get real, LOL.
You’re ready to die on this hill?
How long would Cooper last as a street FA?
The difference is his realistic view is general pessimism & my realistic view is general optimism.
Wrong again.
I would say that you are an extreme optimist as opposed to a general optimist. For instance, you acknowledge that Garrett probably needs to be replaced, but then make it sound like finding a quality replacement is a foregone conclusion. The Giants are a pretty stable organization, how do you think they feel about the Pat Shurmur hire? Adam Gase was a sexy head coaching candidate. How do you think the Dolphins feel about him now? Even Bill O'Brien was thought to be a pretty good hire by the Texans. Have you watched some of his coaching decisions this year? Finding a quality head coach is not very easy, but you don't let that get in the way of your narrative.
Yeah, I’m pretty optimistic about our future, but that doesn’t mean I’m wrong.
Doubtful...just checked the IBL record of the Elliot owners
if my team just traded a first for cooper i wouldn't be touting their personnel department as a strength, but that's just me
