Jerry Jones crazy or smart?

I would be surprised if Sanders goes before 8. There's talk that he may not go in the 1st at all. Dallas can probably get him without moving up but Jerry doesn't need to know that.

I'd be shocked if he's still there at 8

I think Shedeur will be a bust in the NFL, but I just think there are too many QB needy teams that the Sanders name/hype is going to make sure he gets drafted by then.

Just can't see how both NY teams and the Raiders all pass on him, MAYBE the Raiders pass on him if they hire Ben Johnson and he doesn't like Sanders, but I think any other HC gets hired there and there isn't any chance he's there at 6 and they don't take him.

The rams play in LA where 10 mil people live - it’s the largest market in the country.  It doesn’t hurt that they won a Super Bowl recently.  

Theres nothing east about Dallas but Jones has wielded his power with the nfl  to make sure his team is in a division with rivals that have some of the largest market shares in the nfl and play in the best prime time spots.  They are always in the spotlight for better or worse.  He makes moves like this that are absurd football wise but media wise pay huge dividends.  Hes great at keeping the brand relevant.  He bought the team for 140 mil and now it’s worth over 10 bil.  I hate the cowboys and even more their fans but you gotta give the guy his due… Jerry Jones is a brilliant marketing strategist.  

 

They also own the stadium and land, Stan Kroenke is a LA legend in realEstate. The chargers PAY the rams to use the staudium. We all pile on tepper and his concerts, that maybe the best place to hold one. 

 

Plus I thought Jerry bought the blowboys for 20 million or 25 million?? Everyone said he over paid and was a loon.......One of the biggest increases in value in modern history besides any shitcoin or wall Street BS....

I would take Dak and 2 1sts to give the Cowboys Shedeur Sanders.  The Cowboys would probably have to eat a chunk of the cap hit, and you know those future 1sts are top 10 picks at least.

 

nor for the Panthers but if I was the Titans or something I’d consider it

Consider it?  I'd say yes so quickly that I'd hurt myself.

Only way you don't do it if you're the Titans is if you absolutely fall in love with Ward and are convinced he's going to be a star in this league.  As Dak will be 32 before next season starts, while that's not terribly old for QB's these days, he probably only has 3-5 years left in him.

Exactly whoever makes the trade would get Dak really cheap

I would think one of the first steps of jumping from being a college HC to an NFL HC is not getting blown out in a bowl game and then actually winning one, but thats just me.

lol bowl game?

They never beat a ranked team and think they only beat 2 power 5 teams who had an above .500 record.

And they did that with a Heisman winner playing both ways and another Heisman candidate at QB, but sure, people keep thinking Deion is some amazing coach, it makes no sense, he's a glorified cheerleader, that's it.

Not sure how cheap he'd actually be in the end as it looks like Dallas guaranteed a large portion of his contract, but kept the signing bonus to a smaller portion of it as "only" $80 million and had a very small base salary this past season.

So they new team wouldn't be paying the $60 million a year average that the contract was, but his base salary in the next 4 years are 48, 40, 45, and 55 million, still a good amount for a QB, even in today's market.

The only teams that would take Dak would be teams that felt they were on the cusp of winning a Superbowl and only needed a qb.  But those teams probably wouldn't have a pick that guarantee they get Sanders, so a third team would have to be involved, I think.  

If the Titans or Browns don't end up loving a QB in this class and don't want to try and tank for Manning, trading the 1st or 2nd pick for Dak, 12th overall, 2026 1st, and maybe a little more would be well worth it.

Now, if would Dak waive his no trade clause to go there, is another question.  

If I'm Dak and they hire Deion and make it clear they're going to trade him to get Shedeur, I'm not going to help them by accepting any trade.  I'm forcing my way to a better team and/or forcing them to give up even more picks to make the deal so it helps his new team add players.

Or even funnier would be to just accept no trade and play chicken with Deion... do you play the better QB or play your son and lose credibility with the rest of the team.  To bad they'd just cut him in the end if it came to that, but at least you then are free to sign wherever you want.

He's rich, but not smart.

Yeah I would probably put his knowledge up against yours any day of the week. He was co captain of a national championship winning team, worked his way through his life in the oil industry and bought the cowboys for something like a 140 million. What are they worth today? As a person he may be and seems like a jack ass, I don't know I've never met him but him bumbling some decisions with the cowboys in modern times still doesn't erase his savvy business decisions to acquire the cowboys as far as an investment and the team he helped build with Jimmy Johnson in the late 80's-early 90's. But yeah okay, he's not smart at all. Sounds like someone dislikes him for other reasons one of which I can probably assume by your past whining on other subjects I'm not at liberty to discuss on this particular board. But please by all means, share with us all how brilliant you are and your life conquests master Jedi.

    • You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
    • Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.
