This isn't the first time I've heard or seen this mention. To me, it's the reality of challenges facing this offense. It's easy for us as fans to get excited about the number of different weapons for Dak but the truth is, they are all mostly unproven.

NFL's best and worst offensive arsenals: 32-1 weapons ranking

If you had to list the reasons why the Eagles went from last place in the NFC East to Super Bowl LII champions in 12 months, weapons wouldn't be far from the top.
General manager Howie Roseman went out last year and transformed what
Carson Wentz was working with by adding
LeGarrette Blount,
Alshon Jeffery and
Torrey Smith in free agency.
Corey Clement worked his way into the rotation as a replacement for the injured
Darren Sproles.
Nelson Agholor took
Jordan Matthews' spot and evolved from failed first-round pick into an effective slot receiver. Throw in the Dolphins scapegoating
Jay Ajayi for their problems and Philly's trio of effective tight ends, and you have a group of weapons that was able to help propel Wentz to an MVP-caliber campaign and keep
Nick Foles afloat in the postseason
Kalen Ballage.
Dallas Cowboys[/paste:font]
When you remove that dominant offensive line and quarterback
Dak Prescott from the equation, the Cowboys are left with one excellent running back in
Ezekiel Elliott and what must surely be the worst receiving corps in football. The four tight ends vying to replace
Jason Witten have 94 combined career receiving yards, all of which come from
Geoff Swaim. The team's best wideout is
Allen Hurns, who had one impressive season in four years with the Jaguars and hasn't been able to stay healthy over the past two seasons. The team is excited about third-round pick
Michael Gallup, which is a reflection on the power of hope, but even
Tavon Austin has to believe that the organizational plan to give the former Rams wideout 12 to 24 touches per game on offense is too much Tavon Austin
