If he is there on draft day and within reach you take him

Then build the team around him and draft defensive players in the rest of the rounds

You don’t pass up on what people are calling a generational player
You say that like Jerry would actually follow such a plan. If he had it in him to build a team that way they would have done it 15 years ago.

The Skins are just beating us up like football savages. You gotta say something about that. They're a bad football team but they're hitting like it's the playoffs.

No. You don't take him. Dak is the known quality. Dak is their guy. Period. Moreso now with Dalton. If Lawrence is in reach, you trade down and get more picks.

People called Ryan Leaf a generational player.

You trust this lame brain trust to build a team around anybody?

If this were a SB team then yes you give Dak $40M per season. But this team is light years away from the SB. They are better off with the best QB in the draft. You want them to continue doing the shot they have always done, paying guys they don’t need.

There isn’t one player in the NFL that’s going to fix this. Why not hit reset on the QB button with the best QB in the draft (if they have actually get a shot)?

Because you can't just "hit reset" with a rookie unless you're going to totally scrap the whole thing and start over from scratch. Jerry isn't capable of doing that successfully, and God knows he won't let anyone else do it for him. If they theoretically took Lawrence it would set this team back even farther (I know it doesn't seem possible, but that's how it is).

That’s what he should have said. That I agree with and understand. Paying Dak $40M per with this team is insane when you have a shot at the best QB in the draft. I guess the Cowboys should have also made Danny White the highest paid QB in NFL history instead of drafting Troy Aikman too huh?

You'd think some of these OL issues would be wrinkled out during the week. I mean, guys are just coming in untouched. I'm starting to change my tune about coaching. This is not what I expected and I thought I'd see some aggressive play on both sides of the ball. If you bring in an offensive minded coach, the offense should be somewhat crisp (understanding the injuries). I know we're banged up but coaching should be able to at least overcome some of it.

I really think we'll have a shot at the top pick the way we're playing.

Decisions....decisions......

I have to say , this Denucci kid had the little romo shoulder shimmy . Sold the draw completely even though we didn’t get shit on the play . This kid shows some promise on that drive . Too bad our cancer bait offensive line showed up again

If you don’t have a QB that’s a problem. Again this team is more than 1 player away. If you have a legit shot at the best QB in the draft you take it and build from there.

Let me guess you’d rather give Dak his $40M per season and continue with the status quo? Do YOU even know what the fucking problem is? Because I guarantee you is isn’t all on the defensive side of the ball.

Who says we don't have a QB? We are more than one player away, and QB is not the problem that needs replacing. You drafting a QB when not needed is your thinking that we are one player away. And yes I would. Dak is a know quality. And how the hell you think that getting Lawrence is not sticking with the status quo?

I’m actually enjoying how bad we are

It’s like rooting for the team, but in reverse

LOL. Dude I'm done. This is the worse defense in the league, but you can guarantee that isn't the issue. Ok. Wow. This is Zone stupidity.

No spending a huge chunk of your cap on a QB when you have holes all over your team is a HUGE problem.
