we'll see....Dallas played both of those games close and lost at the end
Thats a million dollar question lol, but I think it was more poor offenses. Both were dreadful.
I wonder how many fans in Cleveland would give their left nut to have Dak at QB. I wonder what the Cowboys record would be if they had made the deal for Lynch and then had to roll with him after Romo got hurt...again. Some folks can't grasp the fact that Romo was DONE...all the teams that have QB needs and no one was beating down Romo's door...because he was done. If Dak were compared to other 2nd year QB's instead of 14 year vet's, he'd start looking a lot better to some folks. Your 2nd year 4th rounder isn't supposed to carry the team...guys that are $16.5 million cap hits should carry the team...and 838 receiving yards isn't carrying shit
Very True...there remains an asterisk when a certain fan here discusses the Dallas QB position on this board.
and very true
Fuck, now I'm not happy. Are you assuming or are there rumors out there about him leaving? Jerry needs to do the right thing and make this guy GM. Let Steven keep doing the contract numbers if he wants but this guy is the unsung hero behind this team IMO
I read a couple of articles last month about McClay being the top G.M. target in the League, and while he passed on those to stay in Dallas before, they thought he was gone this year. A lot of it stemmed from the Taco Charlton pick, as Jason Garrett made a big play for Charlton, who was not the guy McClay wanted at all. I hope it's not true
I never like thinking about those things until you are on the clock. You need to see what the draft brings to you. But, in the big picture I tend to agree, or perhaps back fill for a 2nd or 3rd you gave up to get a guy you think will be a superstar. I think the roster is deep enough now that we should start looking for stars. This is a much different roster than a few years ago. if we keep our own and add a couple of top contributors through the draft and our young players step up and maybe sign some minor pieces like a backup OL (or two) or extra LB in FA I think we can really move forward.
He did. But so did some of Philly's backups
I think We forced that pick. I'm not writing off Taco and thought he showed some nice potential even though he was a little disappointing this year. but you could see (and read after) how the other DEs going left us with our pants down a little. I am happy with Awuzie and how the draft ultimately went for us and our board saved us and still delivered a great draft, but our top player on the board and only first round grade left was King. But we forced the position instead. That was a panic move IMO. You either move up to grab the guy you want or you take the best player on your board. Great teams don't settle for a player at a position of need. And yes, our cap problems and restructures (and still paying Romo) are what created that hole and I'm sure that wasn't McClay. But, I need to give credit to whomever had any say in the last few drafts and this includes Garrett and yes (gulp) Jerry for listening more and doing less. I love our last few drafts and hope they keep the group together for this next draft. I will be very upset if McClay goes
Nice post
Nice post
here's what I got with a much shorter version
"Because we are a lot further away than we thought. Our offense is very average"
