Dallas Cowboys Prioritizing Profits Over Winning

Leave a comment

The Dallas Cowboys’ recent hiring decisions have sparked significant criticism from media, fans, and people inside the world of football. This is especially true for the appointment of Brian Schottenheimer as head coach.

  • Lack of Experience: Schottenheimer’s lack of head coaching experience at the NFL level is a major concern. Many fans believe it signals a lack of commitment to winning at the highest level.
  • Focus on Profitability: The Cowboys are the most valuable franchise in the world. Most fans feel that the organization prioritizes revenue and profitability over on-field success.

  • Comparison to Other Teams: They have not reached that moment yet. No one Jerry respects has called him and his boys out for ruining the franchise. They lack commitment to hiring the best available coach to lead the franchise. Kirk Herbstreit called out the University of Miami a few years ago. After years of bargain basement shopping for head coaches, they made a financial commitment and hired Mario Cristobal. It showed the fans of Miami winning does matter. Let’s be honest. The Cowboys should have been deciding between Deion Sanders, Ryan Day, or Marcus Freeman. They should not be choosing between Larry, Moe, or Curly.

  • These concerns by all fans show their growing frustration. Fans feel that the Cowboys are not maximizing their potential or care about giving the team a fair shot. They believe the team is failing to deliver a consistently competitive product on the field.

I am starting to realize I will never see another Super Bowl for the Dallas Cowboys in my lifetime. Things will be much worse when penny pinching Cap Boy takes over.

We are hoping for a Danny Snyder forced sale. If it does not happen, it is the end of a marquee franchise for the next 20 years. To paraphrase one of my favorite movies “save us Roger (Staubach) you are our only hope…” Maybe a the group of former Cowboys can buy the team from the Jones-Palpatine family

Yesterday was the start of a sad time for loyal Dallas Cowboys fans.

Leave a comment

Another one in the series of NFL draft prospects by those passionate fans who watch and study their college teams closer than any reporter. This time Greg checked in on one of his favorite Notre Dame standouts.

Standing six feet tall and weighing 205 pounds, Xavier Watts has become a standout player for the Fighting Irish. As a safety, he has shown remarkable skill and tenacity on the field, quickly becoming a fan favorite.

Key Games and Achievements

Watts’ two most memorable games came against the fierce rivals, USC. In 2023, he intercepted Caleb Williams, contributing to a 48-20 victory for the Irish. The following year, in 2024, Watts set a record for a Fighting Irish defender by surpassing 100 yards with a pick-six. This remarkable feat came after Christian Gray had set a new record with a 99-yard pick-six earlier in the game. These performances solidified Watts’ reputation as a game-changer.

In 2023, Watts’ exceptional performance earned him the prestigious Bronco Nagurski Award, further cementing his place in college football history.

NFL Landing Spot

Looking ahead, fans like me are eager to see Watts take his talents to the NFL, with the Dallas Cowboys being an ideal destination. His draft potential is promising, with expectations for him to be picked in the third round.

Skills and Potential

Watts brings a linebacker’s mentality to playing safety, demonstrating a unique blend of aggression and strategy. Despite his limited time as a safety—having transitioned from a wide receiver out of high school—Watts has quickly adapted and excelled. While this might raise concerns for some, it also highlights his versatility and rapid learning curve.

Comparison and Training

Drawing a parallel with Trevon Diggs, who successfully transitioned from wide receiver to cornerback, Watts’ future looks bright. With twelve interceptions in two seasons and a proven ability to stop running backs, Watts has been well-coached by Al Golden, ensuring his skills are honed to perfection.

In conclusion, Xavier Watts is a formidable player whose impact on the field is undeniable. His journey from wide receiver to award-winning safety speaks volumes about his dedication and talent. As he prepares for the next chapter in his career, fans eagerly await his future successes in the NFL.
