I agree with you. I have always been an advocate of weapons for the QB position. There have been very few QB's in the history of the NFL that were so good they made their weak weapons better. Dak may have the tools but his rookie season was too easy. Zeke rushed for 1000 yards on 1st down. That means that Dak rarely had to deal with 2nd/3rd and long. For lack of a better word it was Madden easy. Now he has to learn the ins and outs of the QB position. It's as if this season is his true sophmore season and sadly he has shit on the outside to work with.
Yep, when you have a QB on a rookie deal that's playing pretty well or at least showing signs...as a GM you have to make that investment pay off because you have the luxury of investing in other areas for a few seasons...SEA and more recently PHI has shown you can win a SB with a QB on a rookie deal.
The Rams are making the most of it, but DAL is being held back by contracts in the past...lot of dead money on the books this yr.
