Cowboys Trade for Jonathan Mingo

On Bryce I just don't know. Some people think they're already sold he's out regardless of the remaining games. But I think the powers that be are still clinging to hope they can salvage him and the whole trade. The way they're acting like Andy Dalton basically had his thumb amputated instead of it just being a sprain confirms such at least for me.

TMJ was here through 3 head coaches I don't include him in that when assessing development. He was a lost cause already.

I don't think most rational people think firing Canales after one season is going to solve our problems. Myself included.

At the same time this franchise is never going to emerge from cellar/laughingstock status without some semblance of standards. Canales has been part of the problems that have ailed this team. And the truth of the matter is Dave Canales barely outmaneuvered fired coach Dennis Allen in a game that came down to a bobbled pass on 4th down.

We need to see some fight in this team down the final stretch people here are used to losing anyways. Just go down swinging. That's all I'm expecting to see. These blowout losses like the ones against Chicago and Washington are not acceptable.

I am afraid no doubt regarding Young and his future, and the role Tepper may have in deciding it. Like hoping against hope there is no year three of Bryce Young. Because he ain't it. 

I feel like, let's get the Bryce issue out of the way and put Canales to work on the real job ahead. I do not feel like spending more time in the jr olympics is gonna be productive on any meaningful level. 

Re Canales... I took the stress burden out of play by issuing a free pass to Canales for being out coached in his first year along with a myriad of other potential pitfalls these young coaches have to navigate. Whatever, show me that you can learn from it.

Yeah he needs the chance to draft and develop his own QB regardless I agree. Either way let's make this QB room much more competitive next season. No handing any guys jobs or reps. Everything earned.

He is actually making Young earn his playing time. Like, you got an opening, do something with it, or sit down and Andy will go back in. 

Yeah the way he was treated, handed the job again after that first year, I seriously disagreed with that. I get why they wouldn't (bring in legit competition), but it goes to why I didn't want to draft him anyway. Years of time invested in a very limited player. I didn't have years I wanted to give him.

Probably been said already but… Mingo’s lack of production was worth more to teams than Johnson’s locker room presence. Dionte has got to be some kinda next level ******.

They think they have a way to use him, and he is on a rookie deal for 2.5 seasons. Doesn't kill them to FAFO.

Johnson can help you more, short term, so it is worth risking his attitude going south if you might be playing for something that matters in January. Or want to get there.

Both of them probably are in places that are good fits.

Addition by subtraction. He did not want to be here and we were not resigning him. The unbelievable part is we got a 4th for Mingo. 

Sure, I’ve been saying we needed to trade Johnson since like week 3ish

It doesn’t change that we made a bad trade in the end

That 4th rd pick looking better and better

https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/cowboys/2024/11/06/dallas-cowboys-dak-prescott-hamstring-avulsion-injury-surgery/

looks like Dak could be done for the year.  And outside the games vs us and NY.  They have a fairly tough schedule the rest of the way

Damn that has to be painful

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
