Are there more questions left because it seems they literally scoured these boards to see what we're all talking about to pose these questions and I want to guess what's next?

Lamb dropped way too many passes in big moments last year for my liking. I don't mind him as a #2 but no legit #1 drops the passes this dude does. I hope to be proven wrong because I root for anyone with a star on their helmet, but he isn't on my list of favorites.

Number one WR's suffer under Moore. So the real question is not whether Lamb is ready or not... because he is. But is Moore going to call the plays, that let him run routes, capable of beating double teams?


P.S.- If y'all can't tell, I'm really not fond of this Moore guy.

These have been out there a while. So who knows if they got any from on here. Just getting caught up on them. To get some different topics leading into TC.
There are 10 more to go, but no list on the web site as to what they will be.

May have been discussed, so just showing what the team writers think. As they have more leveled headed opinions than many fans. :laugh:

Rob Phillips and Mickey think yes. Mickey said a few weeks ago, he was suspect, until he seen a highlight video of his 79 catches.
Nick Eatman sounds as if he is not sure, he needs to see it.

This was today's question, so all caught up.

This one is up for the "dumbest question of the year" award.

Its like asking if Dak was ready for the NFL after his rookie year winning ROTY.

Lamb already was the #1 here in Dallas. He was the #1 last year. Even more impressive considering he had 1B sitting across the field from him taking away looks and catches.

Every team has a #1 on paper...that doesn't make him a #1. CeeDee is NOT a #1....sorry to break the news to ya.

When your the #1 target, #1 in catches, and #1 in yards..............that makes you the #1. He was Daks favorite weapon in the passing game.

Your acknowledgement of the obvious is not necessary. Lamb will continue to make an even bigger fool out of his doubters with Cooper out of the picture to inhibit his numbers.

of course, Lamb is immediately the No.1 lead WR here ... the big question and big difference is ... can he be an Elite No.1 featured WR here ?

Same task and responsibility that was held on Amari Cooper will now hold the same for CeeDee Lamb. ..

WINNER!!!!!

Lamb was already the #1 here. What he HASNT proven is whether he can be a high end ELITE #1 WR in this league. A guy that can consistently get 1400-1600 yards and 10-15 TD's per year.

Cooper was NOT an elite, high end #1 WR. He proved that over his career.

I definitely think that Lamb can be an ELITE #1. I think TD's is probably the category where he might lag behind some. More so because of the way that Dak likes to spread the ball around.

He needs to improve in some areas, but the guy went 79/1100/6 last year while missing a little bit of time.

The thing that gets me is he is still just 23 years old....and a recently turned 23 too. There are guys that got drafted this year older than Ceedee. I'm a big believer in the guy.

Are there 32 #1WR's? Do DAL, GB and KC have #1's? The answer is yes they have #1WR's, just not the same ones and not necessarily as good as the previous #1's.

Is the #1WR the WR that gets the most targets? Is that the qualification?

Every team has a #1 QB, RB, WR, etc but there are still rankings within the game of all the #1's.

The question about Lamb should be where will he rank with the other 31 #1's?

The minute the owner Drafted him and dressed him in #88 he was going to be the #1, now he needs to produce (and like the guy above said...Doogie Howser OC has alot of skin in the answer to that)

Lamb has the speed, the route-running ability and savviness to take on that No. 1 role. All CeeDee must do to improve on last year's production is overcome those mental lapses, mostly trying to run with the ball before he makes the catch, causing him to needlessly drop too many catchable balls. Robert Prince is the new WR's coach. You'll see a big improvement in Lambs production.

I agree with those who say CeeDee already was our #1. I didn't see defenses pulling out the stops to shutdown Amari Cooper. I think the question though is CeeDee going to be one of those 1300, 10+ TD #1 receivers?

Don't know. Some key drops and still not convinced he's big enough to take the punishment. Be nice though. Haven't had a guy really seize the throne full-time since Dez. A reminder that Dez didn't tear it open until his 3rd year too.
