Crazy to think this is the same Detroit where I used to get tickets for less money than my local OHL game.

I stopped clicking on anything featuring Colin Coward on the day that he criticized Sean Taylor's character, while he laid in his death bed (the day before he died) after being shot in his own home defending his girlfriend with a knife because he was banned from owning a gun, as if somehow being the victim of a home invasion was Sean Taylor's fault. Colin Coward can go clean toilets for a living, its all he's good for.

No offense to you John Price. I just hate the guy, he's a clown.

I can totally see Rivera pushing all the buttons for Jerruh and manipulating him into some kind of "America's team restoration" thing. Used to work for Snyder, flag-waving military angle, etc.

Would be a perfect fit and ensure Dallas stay a middling to bad team for a few years.

Approve.

Noooo way. I can’t believe ANY owner is dumb enough to hire RR as a HC.

Noooo way. I can’t believe ANY owner is dumb enough to hire RR as a HC.

Spotrac: "Dak Prescott signed a 4 year , $240,000,000 contract with the Dallas Cowboys, including $80,000,000 signing bonus, $231,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $60,000,000. In 2025, Prescott will earn a base salary of $47,750,000, while carrying a cap hit of $89,896,666 and a dead cap value of $151,887,647."

Any owner dumb enough to do that probably has RR on speed dial.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

If the Cowboys hire Ron, I’d be so happy

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

I thought Ben Johnson canceled on us?

I'd like independent confirmation, but that's a tremendous story if true.

It’s just latest going rates for top guys…just wait and see what the rest of these QBs keep signing for…it’s into stupid territory.

That cap hit will most certainly be reworked for next year, and teams will keep pushing off the bill into the future…

That aside not even close to the same level of stupidity that hiring RR as a HC would be…he’s proven he can’t evaluate talent, can’t manage a game, and can’t keep track of if his team is in or out of the playoffs during the season…

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Wow! How was that story never corrected if he didn’t cancel on us? Score one for AP.

 

[kicksavedave]

I thought Ben Johnson canceled on us?

I call skeptical on all this, but if true, there's several angles. One is, Ben Johnson is dumber than his play calling would indicate and isn't HC material at all. Two is, AP may have turned the plane around, but let it slip that Ben canceled the interview (which still may be true) so that it wouldn't slip out that A) we canceled on him and B) we ARE drafting a QB. Which would be brilliant media manipulation, if in fact true. Let BJ look like the douche for canceling on us, let the world think AP didn't get his guy, who cares. He didn't trash BJ when he could have, he took the high road instead and kept his draft plans under wraps, (even while Doug Williams was announcing the worst kept secret on Earth to the TV crews).

If this has any truth, it probably went down like this:

BJ: I want to run with Sam Howell
AP: We're drafting a QB at 2
BJ: Well then this isn't the team for me
AP: Fine, we'll agree to move on, hey pilot, turn this bitch around.

Media hears that Ben canceled on us, but that's because we weren't handing him the GM keys also.

You said "top guys" but we're talking about Dak, who is just a "better than average" guy.

Statistically (and that’s what guys get paid on) simply hogwash…but I don’t want to get into some big debate on Dak. The overall rankings speak for themselves. Better than average can be top 10, which is probably just where he belongs. That’s a “top” QB in my book. Yours can differ.

Yeah, I was going to put him in the 10-12 range, which is better than average (being 16), but the top guys to me are the top 4-6 dudes who drive playoff wins and consistently rank up at the top 5-6 in the stats. Dak has had some seasons in the top 5 and some down around 15-17 or so. I guess for me, there's like 10 or 12 QBs I'd rather have than Dak, which isn't a quantifiable opinion, just a gut. Semantics at some point.

Dak is almost as overrated as Cousins

 

[RedRocking]

Why are we talking about Ron, when we might be getting Coach Prime in Dallas.

An event some scriptures say will herald the end times.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Dak is almost as overrated as Cousins

And…? I mean I don’t necessarily disagree with regards to the postseason.

Cousins got paid too, but it doesn't make their contracts smart ones.

Man I would loooooove that side show.

The real problems would seem to be that he’s probably only going to go now to coach Shadeur (and the Cowboys already have a QB) and are probably too far back at 12 to be able to afford to trade up to be sure and draft him.

I just can’t see how Jerry and him would coexist and have success.

Jerry can afford it apparently. In not too long he’ll have the highest paid QB, WR and Defensive player. He’s hit some absolute home runs, but now he’s stuck paying them and playing his gardeners and some Home Depot workers to fill in around the stars lol…

Let’s see what JD5 signs for ….I’m afraid.

I know trading Dak would incur some crazy dead cap hit, but just bear with me. The Broncos managed the same thing w/ Russ’s dead cap by drafting Nix.

Imagine a world where the Cowboys trade Dak + some 1sts to move up to draft Shadeur.

Now we’re cooking - Coach Prime + Jerry, father/son as coach/QB. I think the sports world would fold in on itself watching that circus in Big D.

Come on Jerruh, make it happen!

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

The Cowboys should be looking at the coach of Notre Dame. I would not like to see that hire

Dak, YOU are a Cleveland Brown! (or Titan)

Come on Jerruh, make it happen!

Yeah it’s the crushing dead cap, but that’s a great possible scenario with Dak to CLE. Would be wild but CLE is also already f’ed with Watson.

Ohhhhh they just said on ESPN that Prime confirmed in a quote that Jerry reached out and Prime called it “exciting and intriguing”….

Orlovsky just said Dak has a NTC and if he was Dak he would want out ASAP if this goes down.

 

[kicksavedave]

Prime's full quote:

"To hear from Jerry Jones is truly delightful, and it's intriguing," Sanders told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday night. "I love Jerry and believe in Jerry. After you hang up and process it, and think about it, it's intriguing. But I love Boulder and everything there is about our team, the coaches, our student body and the community."

"I'm happy where I am, man," Sanders said. "I've got a kickstand down. You know what a kickstand is? ... That means I'm resting. I'm good, I'm happy, I'm excited. I'm enthusiastic about where I am. I love it here, truly do."

Predict his next move at your own risk.

 

[RedRocking]

Prime's full quote:

Yea, I’m surprised Deion is so openly feeding into the speculation. It could send his players sprinting towards the transfer portal.

Maybe Deion’s pull is so great that he doesn’t have to worry about that? But, college moves are usually very tight lipped for that very reason.

Maybe this was all a publicity stunt to make the Cowboys the story on MNF halftime last night. Classic Jerry…

 

[kicksavedave]

Let’s see what JD5 signs for ….I’m afraid.

Even money his next deal makes him the highest paid QB in history.


And he'll be worth it.
