Trade Lamb and burn it down now

[Creeper]

I am concerned about Lamb's hands. I know Dak was inaccurate last night, but Lamb is a first round draft pick and a professional. He needs to start hauling in some of those bad passes. Having said that, Lamb, to me, is still a slot receiver only. The Cowboys need two real outside guys. Gallup can be one, and I would elevate a guy like Bandon Smith and see if he can be the other.

But someone explain to me how they trade Cooper, let Ced Wilson get away and then to nothing but sign James Washington to a league minimum salary? I mean, what did we expect would happen when the ower refused to build on a successful team from last year?

 

[Floatyworm]

Funny stuff....It's week #1....and we already want Cooper back to take the heat off Lamb.

 

[Fritsch_the_cat]

The problem isn't Lamb, it's Dak.

 

[aikemirv]

Why would anybody want to blow it up when you still have the same architects in the building?

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

And that is likely what will happen. Dak will return in time to mess up the draft pick and lead the team closer that coveted .500 mark.

and picking 20th. Lol

 

[JohnsKey19]

Lamb is looking more and more like a bust, he's losing his value every time he steps on the field

Not a bust at all. Good WR. Probably best as a #2. Just not what the team envisioned when drafting him and what he has been hyped up to be.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Get him out of here while we can get something for him....he is a 2 1/2 at best on a team with a great WR corp. We need to burn this thing to the ground at HC, OC, and QB ASAP....we need an ENTIRE new WR corp....the only persons I hold onto is maybe Dennis Houston and Jake Ferguson, because they are cheap and have an upside. The WR corp we went into the season with was NEVER going to take us to the next level, no matter how well Dak played....they are garbage...Lamb included!!! And don't ask me how we are supposed to get rid of Dak ASAP....I'm not the GM with the fatheaded son, and Arkansas fun baby....let him figure it the hell out.

we have a entirely new WR group...well almost....we have Houston, Tolbert, Washington and we like our guys...brown and fehoko.....

and trade CD...for what? a 4th round pick...well, at least that's what jerry would ask for...

He reminds me of Jarvis Landry.

We hear he's the receiver you just want to get him the ball to make plays, but he doesn't really make that many plays after the catch.
Landry was force fed the ball in Miami to start his career and had to make something out of nothing. Except he didn't have the dropsies that Lamb has.

Lamb has "great" numbers his first two years here, similar to Landry posting multiple 100 yard catch seasons in Miami. But no one was saying Landry was a #1.

If Lamb ends up being nothing more than a #2 receiver then so be it. We need to stop blaming good players for not being great. The issue here isn't with Lamb, the issue is the guy who forced #88 on him. The issue is our GM who felt we were so well off that shipping out Cooper was best for the team. The biggest issue for the Cowboys isnt the talent, its the front office that continues to oversell the talent we do have instead of taking on the responsibility of building the team up around them.

Jerry cannot evaluate personnel. He thought Lamb was just as good as Cooper. No use evaluating skillsets or separation ability or hands or anything stupid like that, just go w/ Jerry's gut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yup. Except it's more about misevaluating talent.

Yup. Even though his scouting reports screamed that he was a #2 type.

 

[bewp7]

it would be a smart long term move

it is a double with ceedee also because wr are very valuble and very expensive

so u get good value and also do not do some thing maybe stupid like give him big time wr1 money when imo he will not be worth it

it is a risk bc he does have a lot of talent but i am not super high on him

if cowboys had a better qb i would not mess with it but what is the differnce when dak is throwing behind or over throwing every wr any way

 

[Kalyan]

not worth paying him these insane WR money with a QB or during rebuilding mode. we may get a lot of draft picks fir Zach Martin too, but I will stop watching if they touch Micah

WR is a secondary position. You don't start there and build. You start with the OL. Then the QB. Then the skill positions like RB, TE, and WR.

The problem in Dallas is that problems are not acknowledged for fear of offending the owner and his judgement. You can't fix problems if you don't acknowledge them. I knew and many others on the board knew 3 things back in March:

1. The OL did not have enough talent.
2. The WR core was paper thin and did not have enough talent.
3. The DT rotation was among the worst in the NFL.

None of these problems which were easy to see were addressed in any significant way. You can't replace Amari Cooper, La El Collins, and Connor Williams with inferior talent, and then compound the problem with no insurance for Tyron Smith and Gallup........... you can't do those things and expect anything better than what we saw last night.

Watch out buddy you will be accused of taking a veiled shot Dak. Everyone was putting their eggs in the baskets of a Terence Steele, Tyler Smith for CWill I was fine with when Tyron was expected to go out at LT, but trading Amari, and letting Wilson go when Gallup was going to miss a major part of the season and then on top of that sign a big contract yeah who did not see this coming this team snake bitten when major injuries happen with this team it happens in bunches,

Wait until you see what Jerry pays him.

 

[Direwolf63]

Are we still comparing Cee Dee to Justin Jefferson?

Just wondering

 

[Section446]

Lamb is a bust, take what you can get for him.

 

[Direwolf63]

The problem isn't Lamb, it's Dak.

There are MANY problems with this team. Dak is one the them. But he is one of many. He's not even the biggest problem

I think CeeDee can be a #1 but they went about it all the wrong way, they made him de facto #1 by suddenly trading cooper. Personally another year under Cooper would have done him some good.
