Trevor's contract will look like a discount in 2 years.  Signing him early and at less than Dak Prescott's contract was smart.  Note:  I'm not defending Baalke.  But that was a good signing.  I also think that the JHA signing was fine.  He's not getting many sacks, but he's still a big part of what's going good with our defense.  Of course, there's not much that's good.  But it's not JHA that's the problem.  With a better defensive scheme and better coaching and player usage, JHA and Walker are 2 great ends.  It's the inside linemen that are not being used right/not playing well that's the problem with this D line.

This idea that we are paying players too early is kinda not the problem.

Okay. Sure. Based on a few third party metrics that offer up participation ribbons and trophies to put lipstick on a pig.

Lawrence is not worthy of his current contract and standing amongst his peers. Neither is JHA.

Those two sacks TJ Watt had last night to close the game out with the Giants? That's what JHA is being paid for. He's expected to beat double teams guys. He's expected to excel more amongst his peers.

Lawrence is supposed to protect the football better in critical moments. Two costly turnovers inside your own endzone are the polar opposite of that. He's expected to beat pressure. He's expected to excel more amongst his peers.

It's common sense really. You don't need stats for geeks brought to you by nerds to make you feel warm and fuzzy about your favorite players. Nobody cares if you made 3rd base. That doesn't win games guys. That doesn't seal the deal.

This is exactly how a lot of you guys sound around here and it's hilarious.
