Episode notes
Cowboys' Playoff Inconsistency Is Systemic
- The Cowboys have become habitually inconsistent, making the playoffs only six times in the last 16 years.
- George Dunham and Bob Sturm frame recent seasons as part of a recurring long-term pattern rather than a one-off failure.
Star Quarterback Must Own Team Outcomes
- Dak Prescott said he couldn't directly correlate his play to wins, which irritated hosts who see accountability as crucial.
- Bob Sturm argues a high-paid quarterback must own outcomes when offense spends dominate the roster cap.
Match Spending With Accountability
- Allocate roster resources with clarity: if most cap spend targets offense, expect the offense to carry the team.
- Hold leaders accountable publicly and privately when results fall short, especially in December finishes.
