LOL. Let's SEE how AVERAGE Troy Aikman would be replacing Johnson with Garrett, Norv Turner with Kellen Moore, his all pro OL with this underachieving OL, his dominate elite SB defenses with this underachieving defense that can't get turnovers, his best reciever Irvin who showed up big time against elite CB's replaced by Cooper who disappears vs elite CB's. And finally no Emmitt replaced by Zeke, who is up and down and rarely uses his speed on the outside.
Dak finished the season playing with a bad shoulder, thus reason for some of his late struggles. Give him an OC that will play to his strengths.
Though I agree Aikman would not have been as good without Irvin, his O-line, Emmitt, amongst other things, Dak only had a bad shoulder in the last 3 games, so what happened to him in Green Bay? Chicago? Buffalo? Early in the Jets game? Plus, Dak’s weapons are fine enough. Though they have better coaching, Tannehill, Derrick Henry, Corey Davis, and bunch of other unknowns are currently going to the divisional round after starting out 2-4. Dak has no excuses to get it done with players like Amari, Gallup, Cobb, Zeke, and his O-line that’s still great despite being overrated.
Also, what kind of scheme do you think Dak would succeed in? He’s had two OC’s... common denominator is that Dak may just not be that great. He’s not fast, he can’t throw in stride, he can’t play single high safety, etc. the QB has to learn to overcome these things, and he has yet to do so....
