Did you ever watch Dak without Cooper?

Dak will move on without Cooper...personally I'm glad Cooper is now gone. I was tired of seeing him
hang his head when things weren't going right that I wanted to puke. They will find other steady players
and the GOAL is to get the running game going AGAIN

Scenario: Philly does NOT draft Jordan Davis.

True or False: Cowboys still drafts Tyler Smith.

Gotta be able to run the ball. Dak struggled during and after the Broncos game partially because they couldn't run the ball.

"Reach" or not, Tyler Smith's strength right now is run blocking and apparently he has all of the physical tools. Just needs to refine his technique (enter: Duke Manyweather).

Imagine facing Jordan Davis and Fletcher Cox with Connor McGovern at LG. Then close your eyes and remember the 49ers playoff game.

Cowboys had to get tougher in the trenches. Tyler Smith helps in that regard big-time. And he just turned 21. Wait until he starts to grow into his man body.

I agree. If all things are equal then Dak is clearly better.

But, all things are not equal. The Eagles might have the best WR unit in the NFL now while the Cowboys got much worse.

The players around you matter a lot for some guys. As a Cowboys fan that's watched Dak for the past 6 years you should know this.

The gap between Dak and Hurts is getting more blurry by every good move the Eagles make and every bad move the Cowboys make.

Also, 2021 Dak was better than 2021 Hurts. That doesn't mean at all that 2022 Dak is better than 2022 Hurts. Who's to say Hurts doesn't make a big leap while Dak regresses?

Who's to say the opposite

Who cares? I certainly dont. Games are not played in May. I remember the Bills getting smacked in the face by the Jags in a game that NOBODY predicted... THE JAGS!

The Bengals, you know the team with the "Great," front office and coaching?? There over under for wins last year was 6.5. 6.5... are you kidding? And they went to the SUPER BOWL.

If you havent learned by now that all of these "Predictions," mean absolutely NOTHING, then you never will.

The Eagles may have had the best draft in the league. They traded a first-rounder for A.J. Brown, grabbed Jordan Davis at No.13 & Nakobe Dean in the third round. If Jalen Hurts is that guy, the Eagles could win the NFC East. Realistically, I don't see it happening w/a 2nd year new HC & Dallas' Prescott holding a 7-3 record against them. Egals draft looks good on paper. They didn't accomplish squat last season w/rookie Devonte Smith either.

Here is for folks that wanted a slipping Nakobe Dean and here is what they drafted later:



Study those stats...same SEC and tell me who was better
