    I didn't like his "And about 40% of people still don't think we won" comment at the White House last year.  Very disrespectful.  Worse than kneeling, IMO.  F Tom Brady.

    You serious Clark? Disrespectful to who? I actually thought it was kinda funny, at least by Tom Brady being funny standards.

    I like how they have the SEC championship on their schedule like they’ll ever sniff that. 

    But no national championship game. Come on aggy…if you’re gonna be delusional and make shit up, go all in. It’s never stopped you before.

    I don’t think Jerry will be able to pull the trigger on Payton. He and the Jones family are good friends with Payton. He’ll have to compensate the Saints big time as will any team.

    Guarantee you Jerry is damn sure trying. If it doesn't happen, it won't be because Jerry won't be able to pull the trigger (or probably due to the Saints ask, unless it's just something ridiculous), it'll be because Payton flat turns him down.

    Payton seemed totally burnt out on coaching yesterday.

    I didn't see that. I saw him leave the door open for a very easy pivot.

    I think he left because the rebuilding effort will take years and endure much losing and it will impugn his legacy.

    Shouldn't be a problem in Dallas...or at least not near as much of one.

    You act like those numbers are pedestrian or something. Among active coaches that is top 10 (#6 to be exact) and it's not that far off the #3 spot. Even McCarthy is top 10:

    To me 1 and 2 are outliers because of not much time as a head coach. But to reach Belichick's level, you're basically talking 1 more win a year.

    Let's see where LaFleur and McVay are in 10 years.

    Yeah, number of games has to play a role when looking at those stats, otherwise it's just not apples to apples. Maintaining a high winning percentage over hundreds of games absolutely weighs more than just maintaining one over a few seasons. Pretty easy to argue Payton is #4 or 5 on that list. Of course, that puts McCarthy at #6 or 7.

    I'm really not defending McCarthy here because I don't think he's the solution either, but I don't know why you would think this. They went 3-4 against playoff teams this season and two of those wins were against the Eagles. They pretty much beat the teams they should and played somewhat competitive games against playoff teams. I think they finished exactly as anyone who isn't a fan would have predicted. They are massively overrated on the o-line and for some reason think Zeke is better RB than Pollard. The final 4 teams in the NFC were better than the Cowboys and have fewer holes. Playoffs proved that. 

    I think this because I think we have more talent than our record ended up being. And I think just about everyone, Cowboy fan or not, except maybe Stephen A Smith’s dumbass, agrees.

    Jerry wasn't the problem this year? You don't think that aging RB and Oline we trot out there every week was his fault? Are you under the impression this roster is going to be better next year? They're going to have to knock it out of the park in the draft just to maintain their current level. 

    I (along with anyone with a pulse) think we had the talent this year to be much better. Show me a team in the league that doesn't have roster holes somewhere. Nobody is perfect at every position. It doesn't work that way. Coaching was the problem this year, not the roster. And you're correct, by all indications that roster is only going to decline, which is why Jerry needs to move on SP now if it's doable.

    McCarthy has had more talent to accumulate his record but I don’t think Payton is that much of an upgrade. I think McCarthy would’ve had the Saints at 6-11 at best this year, and this underscores the primary difference: with Payton you’d have a much more disciplined, focused team, and a higher floor. And you’d have competence versus a fat slob making idiotic time management non decisions. But Payton isn’t Belichick or Reid. I’d rather have LaFleur or McVay or Shanahan. He’s a definite upgrade but not significantly so. I don’t think he’d win a championship with Dak without a stacked roster because Dak isn’t that good. 

    If I were Payton, I wouldn’t demand all personnel control, but I would demand the right to let Dak walk at a cap friendly time when it becomes apparent he’ll never win anything of substance. 

    Yeah, but you're not getting any of them.  Payton is the best realistic option and it's not even close.

    Do we really think SP is that much of an upgrade at this point? The problem is still going to be the GM and that isn't going anywhere. 

    Jerry wasn't the problem this year. Every other year, sure. And yes, SP is an upgrade.

    Name the coach:  McCarthy or Payton?

    Regular season: 152–89 (.631)
    Postseason: 9–8 (.529)
    Career: 161–97 (.624)
    Regular season: 143–92–2 (.608)
    Postseason: 10–9 (.526)
    Career: 153–101–2 (.602)

    Records don't tell the full story. There's not a person on the planet, at least with any NFL knowledge (no offense to you and a couple of other posters here) who doesn't know SP is an upgrade. Plus he's exactly what this Cowboys team appears to need. Hard ass, offensive guy, attention to detail, coaches discipline, etc.

    I think Payton will take a year off.  McCarthy will coach one more year for Dallas.  If Dallas doesn't make the NFC Championship game, he's gone, and Payton comes in.

    I don't think Jerry, or this team, has that much time. Whether Jerry realizes that or not is another story.

    Come on Jerry!!!

     

    Honestly, this is the only (realistic) thing that will get me out of bed for the Cowboys again next season. And I think I can speak for most Cowboys fans when I say that. Jerry has to see that, right?

    this is it.  if we don't move on this we're not winning another superbowl before jerry dies.

    And this ^ Jerry has to see that too, right?

    And no, you can't trot McCarthy back out there next year in hopes that you get Sean for 2023. The time is now. NOW!

  10. 14 posts in and no bitching about parents at work stopping by everyone's office to guilt you into buying their kid's cookies? We're slippin.

    Hated that time of year when I was working in corporate America. Pretty surefire way to instantly rank the political importance of people in my office though.

    Entry level hourly employee (knock knock)...sure I'll take a box and I'm pissed for being put in that position.

    CEO (knock knock)...sure gimme 20 boxes and I consider it a great investment in my future.

    Fuck, I’d consider offering a 1st round pick to NO to get Payton.

    Might not have to do that though. Just fire Fat Mike right now, hire Payton 5 minutes later. Make him the highest paid coach in the NFL.

    Does it work that way? For some reason I thought the Cowboys would still have to give the Saints something for the rights to him as the Saints retain those rights through 2024, whether he quits or not. No?

    Pay wouldn't be an issue. Payton is already one of the highest paid coaches in the league, and I think I read he's got about $45M left on his contract over the next 3 years, but Jerry could/would top that easily.

    Either way, I can just about guarantee conversations have taken place.

    Looks pretty mixed and like you changed your tune from what you claimed percentage wise before lol.

    Good lord, not this shit again. Here's what I originally said...

    I'd say it was somewhere between 25% and 35% niner fans. There were a lot, but nowhere near majority SF fans and they didn't even come close to having a home field advantage from a noise standpoint. And as has been discussed, welcome to NFL 2022.

    And here's what I said after that...

    Pictures don't really do it justice. Nor does TV (I wouldn't think). Along with the navy, a lot depended on the section and what part of the stands you were looking at. As would be expected, the niners side of the stadium had a lot more niner fans than the Cowboys side. There were even some complete sections that looked to be about 80% niner fans. But overall, it felt to me like the niners side was maybe 40% SF fans and the end zones and Cowboys side was more like 20%. My section and the sections around me were not even 10% 49er fans. Overall I'd guess it was one third 49er fans total, which I think is pretty normal for most NFL games these days. And noise levels were very much the same. On critical downs, it was very loud for the Cowboys. It was just sort of loud-ish for SF in similar situations. Not even close to "home field advantage for SF" or over "50% niner fans" or whatever bullshit people are trying to sell.

    One third...aka 33%...aka somewhere between 25% and 35%.

    A playoff game in Dallas this weekend would have looked 70/30 at best.

    So, pretty much exactly what I said. I see your math skills are as shitty as your reading skills.

    Just saw a scan of the KC stadium, 99% red.

    I'd explain the difference between a game in Dallas and a game in Kansas fucking City to you, but you can't even read or do simple math, so it would clearly be above your head and a waste of my time.

    Stay in school, kiddo.
