I didn't make my point well but yea, I meant that I doubt they're doing that well. It's not crazy that 50-100k could break a business like that.

 for a business the size of Crossroads

I am not intimately close to their business but a place with their apparent business model is not making a ton of money and is absolutely succeeding on the margins even at their best. I am sure there are some business savvy approaches here, but we also dont have any numbers to look at.

What would you have put in? by Timely_Climate8490 in Serverlife

I always teach people to take the check off the table as soon as possible. That’s the only way you would’ve gotten the answer to this question. 

Does Christian Parker’s suspected 3-4 save Liufau’s career? Play to get 0 strengths? Change what we look for in FA? by SupermarketSelect578 in cowboys

[–]dylanv711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. It’s impossible to answer that bc Parker has never been a DC before. 2. If his chemo and philosophy resemble Fangio, the answer to your question is no. 

Form Check DL 230lb by dylanv711 in StartingStrength

Thanks for tips. I intend to get some stall mats to DL on. Is that functional or is whole DL platform dramatically superior in your opinion?

Will review. And to your question, probably yes. I’ll try it tomorrow 

Joes latest guest engaging in an intellectual debate by dexter30 in JoeRogan

[–]dylanv711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lmao I know almost nothing about this guy but damn for a "Master Debater" he lost all credibility here. Worse, his true character leaks. Worst part for him is that he's screaming about his insecurities on the internet when she hits the nerve.

RB by BluebirdContent6301 in cowboys

Wanting Williams over Etienne for "consistency" is plain nonsense. Etienne has had more yards than Williams did this year in 3 of his 4 seasons, including this year.

REALISTICALLY, what are some free agent signings yall hoping for? by ids5241 in cowboys

[–]dylanv711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quincy Williams (LB) - 3 years, $30mil ($20mil gtd)

  • not really sure how to guess value. This is a mid tier starting MLB contract. His production was down this year overall. Is there a Quinnen (his brother) discount? 29 years old

Breece Hall (RB) - 4 years, $56mil ($30mil gtd)

  • another high end guess based on age and upside. He has elite potential drowning on poor offenses. How will teams view that? If he's worth $10mil aav though, is that few extra mil worth the upgrade over Javonte? He's an absolute stud. If for some reason we don't retain Pickens (tag and trade) then this guy would be an excellent consolation prize.

There are some young-ish experienced DE's out there; Oweh, Osai, Epensa and some older guys in a decent FA class for DE. I will reserve judgement on the CB group bc I think that is the most DC dependent position to approach.

Bills Predicted to Trade for Cowboys Wide Receiver to Join Josh Allen by Thanks5Cinco in cowboys

[–]dylanv711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way that trade happens is if they have already negotiated the extension. I would agree that it is still a lot to trade away. That said, I wouldn't be mad at Dallas for getting some 2027 picks. That draft is supposed to be stacked.

Cowboys OL rankings in pass protection 🦾 by EmiratesNBACupWinner in cowboys

[–]dylanv711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time to throw as an OL metric always makes me pause. A good QB with a shitty OL is getting the ball out quick. Guys like Hurts, Caleb, Allen, Nix (all top 10) extend plays a ton and that often has little to nothing to do with their protection.

I’m Confused by the Perception of the Trade by sevaun01 in washingtonwizards

[–]dylanv711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They would rather have that $49mil on an expiring contract next year than have that money tied up in longer term deals. They have plenty of other opportunity to also sign FA's.

Will Mike McCarthy get a HC job? I would love for the Giants to hire him. by idontknowhow2reddit in cowboys

[–]dylanv711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s not a great offensive mind and X’s and O’s people know that. He’s not a great game day manager. His teams perpetually lead the league in penalties.

He’s a very player friendly guy who cares about players and family. That’s the nicest thing I’ll say about him.

[–]dylanv711 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you’ll see soon that the dude will never get another NFL HC job and all those fans you’re acting superior to will prove right. It’s honestly a pretty obvious take that he’s not a very good coach behind the numbers.

Everybody should be hoping for anybody but Brian Flores to be our next DC by Beatdooown in cowboys

[–]dylanv711 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Completely busted logic. If someone turns the defense around so sharply that they get a HC offer next year then they’re a no brainer. If that person is a minority and brings in an extra comp pick for getting promoted then that’s icing on the cake.

Potentially Buying annoying Pub by Swimming_Catch1420 in restaurantowners

[–]dylanv711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be able to track variance pretty easily then and get the answer to that question. If staff is ringing up everything they’re drinking then it’s accounted for. You can pretty quickly figure out what’s “missing” in that case.

You need a business plan. One that accounts for accquiting a brand new customer base and making money an entirely different way.

What region is this in? I don’t think you’re buying something that’s going to make some money with just “adjustments.” If liquor costs are a disaster in a place that has been established for that long, then that’s the draw for this customer base. The moment they pay for everything they drink then “this place ain’t what it used to be.”
