Dak has a plethora of weapons in the passing game. What is missing however is his go-to wr or te. A QB needs that chemistry with one player they can get reset during the game.

I think he has used zek as his reset in the past, but Zek is hurt. Dak and CeeDee needs to develop chemistry.

Tony Pollard is the only player capable of getting us back to where we were earlier in the season.

Relying on Dak is just not realistic in terms of what he is as a player.

Dak is great when we are balanced and we have a lead. That’s when he creates the illusion of being an elite QB.

When asked to carry the team he’s just going to pad some stats and take you to an L.

Dak is a system QB and right now the biggest part of our system is broken.

I am not sure what leads you to believe Tony can change our entire offensive persona.

He very often has the same trouble Zeke has.....can't get any open spaces in the run blocking. Sure he can pop off a 40 yarder...GREAT! But it's still 2-3 yards up the middle and some very average to pancaked blocking.

Plays designed for Tony definitely benefit him a LOT. As the change of pace/scat...he gets more plays in space. That is good for any RB, let alone shifty speedster like Tony. Even Zeke gets more yards and more excitement when we do that for him.

I think our offense all around is in a bit of a funk....but Kellen and Mike aren't helping. IF we're going to get through this....THOSE TWO will need to be the "passing companion".

A solid reliable running game is the best companion for the passing game. But we'll have to stop clogging the middle with our own guys.

Because unlike Zeke he can create for himself and doesn’t need perfect blocking to make a play. He just needs a little bit of space.

He’s a homerun hitter. Zeke is just a base hit guy.

He needs a little shifty fast receiver like Beasley

he seems to have a good connection with schultz.
usually QBs turn to their te's as a security thing.
Dak seems to like schultz.

I said it at the beginning of the season - they need that "get open quick" guys like Beasley.

Romo had Wit as his chain mover - Dak needs a Beasley.

Schultz hasn't been great this year. Was it this year he coughed up the ball on 3 plays?

Somewhat true he was great against the Patriots.

And we rushed for 120 yards that day.


Thankfully they had a rookie QB because if you don’t remember we were struggling to score points for almost the entire first half.

i think schultz is that guy for him.
cooooooop among the wr's.
at the end of the day,#4 needs to handle his business and we'll be fine.

And here is why I think you are wromg..in a way.

As I said....Pollards plays have already been designed...IN SPACE.

When you ask Pollard to do the same thing Zeke does...he has equal or less results.

When you ask Zeke to do what Pollard does...there's at least half production.

SO because of you anti-zeke agenda...you can't put that together.

For me this is not about production but play design. We don't ask Pollard to pound that rock, like an NFCE is supposed to do....when we do...we still get nothing. Or less.

When we design a play in the flats or open field for zeke...he GETS production.

Yes....Pollard got those on or two plays that get big yards and even production. I won't discount it form his average but it does inflate it like an average is NOT designed to do. But you are getting fooled by the bling.

I blame Kellen and Mike.....for committing to a will we don't really have. STOP clogging the middle with our own players...it hurts both of our RBs. Design plays to create SPACE. LIKE we usually do with Pollard, like his last TD run. Do it for Zeke too and see. You will see. Spread out and go hit someone.
