We all enjoyed a magical 2016 season with two rookies who took league by storm. As I was chest thumping I read a sobering article on how you really don't know about QB until he completes his 2nd season. My raised arms slowly dropped. I patiently waited for 2nd season and now my fears are becoming a reality. Dak Prescott was product of Zeke being top 5 dynamic player. But I held reservations until I saw him matched up with Wentz. Well, unfortunately I am here to report Cowboys search for Tony replacement should continue.

Dak has as many ints as tds against NFC teams. Dallas has 1 offensive TD in two Zeke-less games. But real problem is what I saw from other teams QB. QB so big players couldn't bring him down throwing ridiculous ropes to his avg WR core. Eagles WR did their best to keep this game close in first half by dropping passes. But talent wins out and Wentz put Jerry Jones on notice last night.

Dallas has two options: 1) Do nothing and likely lose most divisional games & divisional titles to Eagles for next 7 -10 years. 2) Make some hard sacrifices and get Franchise QB by any means possible (Btw: Philly ended up giving away total of 7 players...mix of currently NFL players & draft picks for Wentz).

The big question is does Jerry Jones have stones to pivot?

Romo won two playoff games, which still isn't a whole lot, but double what you gave him credit for.

The comparisons between Romo and Dak are stupid simply by the fact Dak has had an OL and RB since he’s been here and at least no Garrett as play-caller.

He’s effectively had a running game to bail him out and a passing game built off play action, meaning the running game to assist him..

The year Romo had an OL and in charge of his own destiny without Garrett “in his way” to a significant degree he was robbed at Lambeau in a near flawless performance, by the refs with Dez and a fumble by Murray on a wide open hole...

The second year issues for QB was the big reason why starting Dak over Romo was stupid last year, because that forced Jerry into a decision for this year to start Dak in his sophomore year. We lost a chance with Romo and Zeke together, which could have given Dez so much downfield..

Romo’s team in 2014 was just as good as the team Dak had last year.

They both made it to the divisional round and then lost to the packers.

Dak was not very good last night but he has very little to work with.Our TE should have retired last year,our top Wr cant jump anymore and that was his biggest strength.the no 2 Wr keeps giving the ball away .Imo Dak needs a complete new WR and TE corps.Keep Beasely,get him TEs like the Giants new TE who can actually get you Yards after catch.The most important aspect missing in our O is speed,no Defense is scared of any of our WRs out running them and that makes a huge difference.

This should be the #1 topic this week and through the rest of the year until it is fixed.

I have been saying it for years and Zeke masked it a bit. We need an overhaul at the skill positions.

Dak is not the problem. The problem, for the most part, is play calling. Where are the slants or ins to Dez. Why is everything a jump ball for Dez. Why is Beasley at 5'7 running an out for a first down at a critical time during the game? That pass needs to be perfectly thrown. Result, pass incomplete. On a crucial 3rd down and 2 play, why did they call for a Morris run behind Bell and Cooper? Result, the run was stuffed for a loss. When Zeke is playing all the play calling miscues are erased because Zeke is that good. His running opens up everything. On another note how many times did everyone watch an official staring at an Eagle o-lineman holding and not call a penalty..................

Murray is not Zeke.. didn’t have the breakaway speed nor was he averaging 5 YPC in first down.. Zeke has one less game, three less carries per game as well and he didn’t have the benefit of a deep arm threat that makes DBs stay back, but was dealing with 8 and 9 man fronts regularly.

And Sean Lee didn’t play in 2014 nor did we have Irving and Tank playing at such levels..

And Romo won a playoff game and like I said, Dez’s catch was overturned and Murray fumbled on a wide open hole...
