What happened to the best WR trio in the NFL?

atlantacowboy · Jan 18, 2022

SF had Dak confused all day. He played too poorly for any WR to really matter in the game.

Lamb is undisciplined and lacks focus and concentration. He’s very immature from a football standpoint.

Yeah and that's shocking to me. It was evident in year one....but why did it seem like he got WORSE in year 2? Not from a stats perspective.....but from concentration and focus? He needs to get his mind together because he has the physical tools. He's killed momentum and drives with some of his drops.

At the beginning of the year many on this site and around the NFL world thought the big 3 Dallas WR corp was the best (or top 3) in the NFL. All the talk was about how NFL defenses could never stop this offense with all of these weapons'. It sure didn't look that way most of the year and especially on Sunday. What happened?

Cooper is a #1 that can be very reliable and dangerous. His route running is the best on the team. But at the same time he seems to be very streaky. Get him going early or forget about it.

Gallup can make those tough, clutch catches. But, he also can drop the easy passes and is often over looked. Plus due to injuries he missed too much time this season.

CD Lamb is explosive and dangerous with the ball in his hands. But had way too many drops. His route running is poor at best and he seemed to decline as the season progressed. At times he looked awful.

"Cooper is a #1 that can be very reliable and dangerous."
"Gallup can make those tough, clutch catches."

Sounds like you still believe in that trio of WRs, even if they aren't the best. I bet you want all of them back next season.

There was no confusion at least not from what I saw....just had a bad game like he's been having half of the season.

Still don't understand why explosive and CD Lamb continue to be used in the same sentence. I simply don't see it. Even when returning punts...I don't see explosiveness. Too often we label players based on what they did in college. It reminds of Reggie Bush. He was running by everyone as if they were standing still. He rarely was able to do that in the NFL. EVERYONE in the NFL is fast. All of this great "run after catch" accolades we attach to CD Lamb. Dez was much better with his run after catch than CD. Yet we talk about CD run after catch ability as if he is Jerry Rice.

This was not directed at you...but I am still waiting to see this great run after catch guy everyone says he is.

Not even close to Dez.

Sorry fellow Cowboys fans but Lamb is overrated. He’s good- but certainly not yet great. Bob Sturm of the Ticket has pointed out that Lamb is really only effective in the slot. His small frame makes him easier to push around at the los. His drops are numerous and often at terrible moments.

Lamb can improve- he’s young. But someone needs to light a fire under his behind. His penalty Sun for not being set is just an easy example of his lackadaisical attitude.

This guy needs a lot of work. He’s a gifted athlete but being gifted is not enough if you want to be better than above average.

It depends on what game you look at. After the NE game, he looked like an all-pro. His season went up and down with Dak. This is why I don't like investing so much in that position. There is only one ball and Lamb was often the 4th option when Gallup returned to the lineup. . I think Dak lost some confidence in him as he does drop more passes than anyone else.

I believe in the WRs. I don’t believe in the QB.

The QB isn’t worth wasting passing resources on so if they can get rid of Cooper it has to be done.

The Cowboys need to spend resources on things that can overcome their QB.

They got on the wrong bus

MountaineerCowboy · Jan 18, 2022

I'd much rather have our WR group then I would our QB.

You give these guys a real QB and we're not losing a game where our defense holds a team to 23 points or 19 points like we did this year.

LOL, knew it would not take long and it is not one of the 4 Horsemen.

OriginalNameGuy · Jan 18, 2022

Kellen Moore couldn't adjust to the o line being in shambles. Develop a hulk package to barely use it. RB on torn PCL? Toss it to him, screen it to him. Long developing routes even though your center and guard are being placed in your QBs lap.

You get the point. When the Boys are getting their butts kicked they don't adjust. Our offensive style is very much -line em up 11 on 11 and play. Which is why the Boys dismantled the NFC East but were 6 and 6 versus rest of league.

Last year he had Dalton and this year He had Dak

Lamb is starting to get real annoying, he is not on Chase or Jefferson's level

Said this a couple of days ago, no he is not. When I watch them both not seeing a lot of drops.

WillieBeamen · Jan 18, 2022

Imagine Joe Burrow with Cooper, Ceedee, and Gallup smh

They need a QB.

Agree. None are top 10. Each is lacking a key talent or skill that would put them at the next level.

It was ment to be funny because Royce was ragging on everybody about Dalton in the beginning of the year

And Now He is wondering why Lamb was regressing

I mentioned a Factor . . . Nothing more Nothing less.

If it effects you . . . . .
