Like a lot of teams, we are probably 2 or 3 pieces away from being a genuine super bowl contender and 2 or 3 pieces above being the Raiders.
How much success will you have with an average to below average coach? Bus driver quarterback is that going to get it done too?
2-3 Big Pieces!Like a lot of teams, we are probably 2 or 3 pieces away from being a genuine super bowl contender and 2 or 3 pieces above being the Raiders.
It's a mystery for sure but I think I can shed some light on it:I'm amazed at the continued doubt towards Dak, calling him a bus driver? I keep saying, the key to success for this team is the Oline's and Dline's performances. Dak is plenty of good (more than good enough), plus he's smart, a dual-threat and takes care of the football. Zeke is a beast. Cowboys finally have a true #1 WR. Need to go hard and move up in the 2nd round next year and draft Texas 6'5" WR #84 Lil' Jordan Humphries. Then hope Swaim, Schultz and Rico can take it up a notch or two at TE. Plus, with Gallup coming back as a 2nd year semi-starter, and finally the showcase of 6'5" Cedrick Wilson, this Offense will be set.
Still, the key is the Oline. If Coach Marc Colombo (w/help from Hudson Houck) can keep improving this Oline while developing the backups, ooooh baby, this Offense is going to be deadly next year.
The same goes for the Defense. Their key is the Dline. Period. Resign Tank Lawrence to a longterm contract (hope he gives Jerry a little discount). Resign David Irving to a friendly 3 year contract. Redo Tyrone Crawford's contract to a friendly deal. Taco should be improved. Gregory is finally coming along. Resign Antwaun Woods to a friendly 3 year deal. The same goes for Maliek Collins. Plus, all of their backups are starting to gel and pick things up. Now, add our very young and talented LB corps. The same goes for our very young D-secondary? This Defense will be even better next year.
Still, the key to success for our team lies in the trenches. Both sides of the line.
I dunno I don't think it's a ridiculous question at all...this team has a proven winning formula for post season success and we appear to be peaking towards the right time. Talent wise we've got enough, coaching may be a completely different matter. We are trending in the right direction at the right time.
If we get into the playoffs this team absolutely can win it all and I have no doubt about that. That actually happening though isn't likely because winning SB's isn't easy for anybody even teams who're good to great year in and year out. Even the greatest QBs to play the game can hardly win a SB unless you're name is Tom Brady. Everything has to align perfectly for a team to win a SB and there's no reason it can't be this team if we're in the playoffs.

No. Tried explaining to you how our lines are the key, but that's too much for you to understand.LOL.
You question why people call him a game manager (bus driver) and then basically spend the rest of your post explaining why he’s probably that type of a QB.
We probably have a top contending defense. The offense is still to be determined.has Jerry Jones (cough-cough, Will McClay, cough-cough) built a contender? too early to tell....if JJ was dedicated to winning, he would have hired a legit head coach by now...I think earlier this season, many of us (me included) were thinking we had a top 10 pick on our hands and then they traded it away....but, they have survived in the last two games...make no bones about it, in the first half against Atlanta, Dallas was pathetic on offense AGAIN...then, things gelled in the 2nd half....so, the "contender" of which these people speak did not play in the first and 2nd quarters as recently as last week....let's slow down a little and wait and see what happens against Washington

People only call him a bus driver (or average QB) because they are comparing him to his peers.
Happy Thanksgiving AC

As a dual threat QB who can average around 230+ yards a game, above 65% completions percentage, keep turnovers at a minimum and help the team win games and reach the playoffs, I'm good with that. Look at it this way, he will come cheaper than the very top QBs, thus allowing the team to resign other key players at the same time.You basically said that all these other pieces are now good therefore Dak should be fine.
That’s the definition of game manager.

The problem I see is that playing these kind of games always comes down to coaching because the games are so close and the margin of error so thin.when healthy, the defense is good enough to contend...agreed that the offense is a work in progress and that coaching is a decade away from being there

Win/Win situation. Don't you think?
