these guys who weren't suppose to make it ... according to many wasted picks

Dak currently leads the NFL in passing, and has never missed a start

Jaylon currently leads the NFL in tackles, 3 years ago it was doubtful he'd ever be able skip rope

as bad as we sometimes talk about these guys - that's pretty darn good

and the biggest thing they both bring to the game is character
 

PAPPYDOG

Sorry but I'll agree on Dak but Jaylon is always out of position and honestly his constant celebrations about simple tasks is annoying. Especially doing them over a hurt guy.

And these supposed “guys that weren’t supposed to make it” are 6-7. Congrats :facepalm:.

They are the Kings of Garbage time stats.

Dak has chance to throw for 5000 yards. Who would have thought that two years ago. The fact that Jaylon is playing is a miracle. With all his drop foot issues he is the linebacker that does not miss games. Still I would not pay Dak 30+ million and Jaylon seems to be regressing.

Pass yards mean nothing, he's leading the league in pass attempts. That's why he leads, like the reason Big Ben led last year - he threw over 600 times.

I care about TD:INT ratio when combined with pass attempts. Dak had a stretch of 3 3 TD games, but has had 3 games with 0 TD passes. Jackson, Wilson, Watson, Cousins, Rodgers, Garropolo, Stafford, and Mahomes all have equal or more TD passes than Dak with nearly 100 or more fewer pass attempts.

We are becoming the Atlanta Falcons. We should let Dak and Cooper go put their money into defense and special teams.

I get what you're saying but you also have to factor that Dak doesn't have a defense or special teams that give him great field advantage while every QB you listed has defenses and special teams that gives them short fields to work with.

It really doesn't matter, we are stalling out on the opponents side of the field which is why Maher has a high number of FG attempts - Dak's TD:INT ratio in the red zone looks good - but we are still failing there consistently when we do get there.

https://sportdfw.com/2019/12/04/dallas-cowboys-red-zone-problem/

"As much as it pains me to say, (as a big-time Dak Prescott supporter and long-time Ezekiel Elliott critic) the numbers suggest the problem in the red zone is Dak Prescott and the passing game and not Zeke and the running game."

There's not much to indicate we'd do well even if we did get turnovers - we have a fundamental problem of performance with a short field.

That's why you can't pay him 30+ million. You need to restock the team.

Coaching coaching coaching, don’t tell me about the players until I see them in a new system. We already know they can play, they’ve proven it over and over again. They just need to be coached up!!!!

Both players have to play better. Period. Dak has been atrocious that last two games. What's worse is he has regressed to the old Dak. Pocket presence and mechanics look like last year. I am guessing he can be coached out of this but I am not sure it can happen during this season. He may need another off season or it could be something he slips back into for the rest of his career. Hopefully not. Jaylon is playing, which is a miracle considering his injury, but he is not playing particularly well and I don't care how many tackles he has. I think he is playing the wrong position. Jaylon struggles avoiding and getting off blocks in running game and he has the same issue with pass defense as the rest of the team, he doesn't look for the ball. The TD against him was a belly high pass when he was all over the receiver. The only reason he didn't pick it off was because was had his back to the ball and never looked back. If Jaylon Smith had the football instincts of Sean Lee, he would be an all pro.
