1st Quarter awards!

[Cowboyny]

Now we are through the first, four games, let's look at the awards for the 1st Quarter of the season:

Offensive MVP-Dak Prescott
Best Rookie-CeeDee Lamb
Biggest Surprise-Dalton Shultz
Biggest Disappointment-Tony Pollard

The top 2 should be chalk on this board, where some may view the bottom 2 differently. I cannot remember a single play where I noticed Pollard in a positive way. He was suppose to be a bigger contributor with the offense, but he is remembered as a terrible kickoff returner thus far.

Defensive MVP-Aldon Smith (We really can nominate nobody as the defense across the board has been bad.)
Best Rookie-Trevon Diggs (Growing pains, but flashes at times)
Biggest Surprise-Joe Thomas (He been one of the biggest standouts thus far)
Biggest Disappointment-Everson Griffen

Same as above, I bet there are a lot of different opinions on the bottom 2 categories. I had high hopes for Everson Griffen, he has been flat out a total bust thus far.

1-3 and one freebie from the Falcons and you got MVP Prescott.
Does he get into the HOF if we go 1-15?

Offensive MVP-Dak Prescott
Best Rookie-CeeDee Lamb
Biggest Surprise-Dalton Shultz
Biggest Disappointment-Tony Pollard

In the spirit of Socratic dialogue and a free and open discussion, I would humbly submit that the Biggest Surprise was WHY IN THE $#*& WAS DARIAN THOMPSON STARTING AT SAFETY.

 

[big dog cowboy]

The only award this team is getting will be given next April when they will have a fairly high draft pick.

 

[MysteryIceGuro]

I’d switch biggest disappointment from Pollard to the entirety of the defense


And yes, I know the reason Pollard is a “big disappointment” is because we had high expectations for him this season, and none of us really expected the defense to be all star, but good gracious is this defense HORRENDOUS. Nothing can beat out how disappointed and horrendous this defense is.

 

[jazzcat22]

Right now I can care less about any awards good or bad.
I just want to win the next game.
Actually the next 4 games for now.
And have the division rivals lose.

Never mind these goobers trying to pick the low hanging fruit. I like this!

I'm agreeing with almost all of your picks, but I would put DLaw as biggest disappointment and Trysten Hill as biggest surprise.





Nice thread!

Fist to chest homie.
Fist to chest.

 

[Big D]

I like your list but the biggest disappointment on offense to me would be the coaching/play calling. For us to have run the most plays, we can't figure out a way to mix in the run and minimize the defenses exposure and it baffles me.

Same with the defense I think they're trying to get to tricky too early.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Biggest Disappointment:

All of our highest paid players, except for Dak.

All of our highest paid players have drastically underachieved. Badly. They have yet to earn such high pay.

Here's my opinion of Dak's inflated garbage time stats...

Definitely Charlie Sheen when he was #Winning.

Nice thread!

can someone please explain how Trysten Hill is earning praise? Have you watched him on any running play? The bar has to be so low that him stepping on the field earns him stickers.

And isn’t he PFF’s worst ranked DT?

+1 but for me, I'd probably replace Thomas with T Hill. As for Griffen, I'm willing to curt him a little slack ( lack of conditioning) since he was late signing. But my biggest disappointment and surprise would be Nolan. I know you wanna players mention but if we using the word disappointment, he gotta in here somewhere LOL.

I give no shiv to PFF.
Sue me, but I have issues with how they do their evaluations.

And this guy went from not making even an active roster to being put in the driver's seat to get experience and seasoning while at least getting penetration as Poe gets double teamed.
That guy was completely written off last year.

 

[Ranched]

Dak's inflated garbage time stats...

Seems to me that topic only surfaces when Dallas loses.

Pollard? The guy doesn't even get carries. Returning kicks is something different.

Zeke is clearly the biggest disappointment. However predictable.

Speaking of subjective ratings that mean nothing, Bob Sturm rates "splash plays" for big plays on the defense and Trysten Hill is 6th with four and a half. Aldon Smith is first with 8.5, Diggs has 7th.
