2020 Draft Redo. What if

[Swagger]

Delighted?

I'm a Dak fan and I am annually disappointed that Cowboys management can't understand the concept of competition and how it would make both players better regardless of who actually started.

I'm a Cowboys fan before I am a Dak fan and if the Cowboys were to find someone better then I am still a Dak fan so long as he continues to wear the uniform. That doesn't mean I think he shouold start if there is another on the team that is clearly better.

You are a Dallas Cowboys fan. Big difference to those on here that are Dak Prescott fans first and foremost.

I remember they were gloating on here when Hurts wasn't drafted. Prescott would go on and butcher the Cowboys' Superbowl hopes in back to back limp performances against the 49ers.

 

[kskboys]

Hurts is Dak...They're basically the same player. Neither will win it for you without great weapons.

No, they're not remotely the same player. They are pretty much polar opposites.

 

[CATCH17]

Daks number receiver in 2018 was Allen Hurns…..Dennis Houston started week one last season.

Lol oh my


That one time in 2018 lol

The reach.

 

[Swagger]

Lol oh my


That one time in 2018 lol

The reach.

 

[SuperBowlz]

Happens to every team every year.

Pass on better players and take players who don't live up to the hype.

The only one that ever really crosses my mind is what if the Giants took Reggie White in the supplemental draft and paired him with a young LT. Maybe the 1st and 2nd greatest defensive players ever. Haha

Lol oh my


That one time in 2018 lol

The reach.

That wasn’t one time that was until we traded for Amari lol….nobody intentionally goes into a season with Dez, Terrenc Williams and Beasley as their receivers aand think they will contend. Maybe in 2014 but not in 2017. Witten and Dez were cooked.

Dallas selected:

Jefferson over Lamb
Hurts over Diggs
Gallimore
Gabe Davis over Robinson

Wr was a need. I think we can agree JJ was the pick.

Diggs has the pedigree, size and athleticism to cover anyone. He has played very well.
If Hurts was the pick, would he have taken the QB1 job during the ankle or thumb injuries?
Would you be happier paying Hurts or Dak an albatross contract?
Team would have a hole at CB1 potentially right now. Or they would have missed on Parsons bc they would have been pressed to move up in Draft.

DT was a need. Gallimore was the pick can't really second guess this one.

Gabe Davis. This could have solved the Gallup situation completely.

Y’all quickly forgot how much the league adjusted to Dak after his rookie season. The same thing is about to happen to Hurts .

I am a Cowboys fan and I try to be fair regardless of any current disappointment. It's easier to put the blame on a single player and make him the scapegoat than it is to confront the broken aspects of the team's system and even the inescapable degree of luck that must accompany a Championship team.

If they were to repeat the playoffs three times I truly believe that you would end up with possibly three different champions, or at least two.

if Pollard had not been injured, would Dak have been forced into making some of those throws? With the game deadlocked and even for most of the game, why in the world are you passing the ball in the redzone on 2nd and short, especially with every WR not named Lamb totally ineffective?

Why did the Cowboys revert back to their penalty ridden, sloppy play? How many decisions were made as a result of loss of faith in Maher?

Let me extend an olive branch and admit that when the Cowboys do win the SB, I expect Dak to receive too much of the credit. That's the life of a QB in the NFL.

As far as Dak himself, it's not his fault that this franchise constantly deprives itself of contract leverage by not introducing any other realistic option at the position. His agent is simply doing his job as best he can to get the most favorable results.

Obviously, Dak is not entirely blameless for the playoff loss, but there is more than enough to share the wealth.

The league didn’t adjust to him lol. Before Zeke and Tyron left he was on pace to have a better year than his rookie year.

Difference being that Hurts can still use his wheels to extend plays and in turn open up the playbook. If a team focuses on just shutting down his run game then he has shown last season he can take advantage with his arm. Problem arises for Hurts if and when he's unable to his wheels.

Hurts would have taken over by now and the cowboys would be in the SB at least. Dak is not the answer as we have seen.

I just expect more from a QB that's supposedly top 10 in the league and borderline top 5 to actually make a few plays required to win very winnable games in the post season.

I didn't dig him out for the loss vs the Rams as the run defense wasn't good enough period.

Yes, having Pollard in the 2nd half would have helped but if Prescott considers himself the man then overcome it. He still had an excellent defense, special teams and something to work with on offense.

I don't buy the blame for the playcalling. He's not a rookie. He was in his what 8th season? Change the play to a run or is he still unable to read a defense or be given the licence to do this?

 

[nalam]

I mean I guess in hindsight you can but everyone here was thrilled on the Gallimore pick and most analysts said we hit it out the park there. If he doesn't make the team that might have more to do with the talent in front of him.

I dont agree , he flashed in 2021 , but last year was a big disappointment. Either regressed or the OL coaches figured him out. With Osa infront of him and Gholston emerging, also Quinn likes to play DEs at 3-tackle position, it is really unlike he will be in the roster , buy may be we can stash in PS.

Hurts wouldn't be what he was in 2022 if drafted by the Cowboys.

I'm skeptical that he'll be the same in 2023 with a new O-Coordinator...

 

[starfan1]

I’d rather redo the 2016 draft

 

[xwalker]

So, he is a straightline athlete? Lacks lateral agility?

He might be #2 all-time in the straighline category...Alexander Wright is #1 on that list.

Wright ran a 4.14 forty but he probably couldn't beat Nate Newton around an obstacle course...

What part don’t you agree with?

Difference is Hurts was not a rookie last year. He was not new to the league. He’s improved every year he’s played.

His first two years he was under average. QB rating under 90 is pretty bad. He made a huge jump of over 14 points last season. Now he is on every DCs radar. It will be interesting to see how they respond.

Last year was his first official season starting.
