Dak didn't start looking his way till halfway thru the season.

Dak didn't start looking his way till halfway thru the season.

From week 9 on he had 6 games under 50 yards

 

[Redline360]

Was excited when we signed him as he's another 1k reciever and can stretch the field. However, was never utilized correctly for the majority of the season. MM basically handicapped his abilities.

Why bring someone in when you're just limit what he does best. Makes no sense

2024 is legitimately a wasted season

And depending on how long it takes for this team to find a real franchise qb , it might be several wasted seasons before we have a window of opportunity

So for all of you who claim that we have too many holes to fill, don’t worry, we have plenty of time to fill those holes before we are contenders

When he got the ball, Cooks produced. Had 8 touchdowns. I think he is a high end 3 now though.

 

[McKDaddy]

how many times was he open & didn't get the ball? or a catchable ball?

That TD production was an outlier though. He only produced that many two other times in hia career

I know you feel this way but if this team and front office thinks this way they are sadly mistaken.

Probably not nearly as many times as fans that want to make excuses for his lack of production believe

 

[RoboQB]

Seems like even more evidence pointing toward the cold hard fact that Dak doesn't come off his first read.

Team had 4397 net passing yards last year. 3rd in the NFL and only 117 behind first place Miami. What do you guys want, 6000 yards with multiple 1500 yard receivers?

The receiver group is one of the least of Dallas' issues. The run game is where Dallas' base offense problems start.

We need another wide out. We just don’t have enough picks.

It's actually 46% of his yardage came in two games, and he had 3 games all of last season where he had over 50 yards. I pointed this out several times, people seriously overrated his second half of the season

Pleas explain

How so?

- McCarthy did not design, scheme or care to involve Brooks into games ... until the media actually called him out.
And even then, coaches seem to use Brooks as more a possession guy than dangerous vertical guy

- Dak had issues connecting with speedy Brooks in deep fly-go routes - overthrowing him every time .

- Frankly we just flat have not being using Cooks the way he needs to be .... the way he could be. the way he should be.

Because we had this problem with Cooper and Lamb....

Or Cooper and Gallup

 

[CT Dal Fan]

It took over half the season for the Cowboys to figure out how to use Cooks.

If he picks up where he left off next year he should get close to or exceed 1000 yards even with Lamb and Ferguson options 1 and 2.

I'd prefer an offense with 3-1000 yard receivers.
One can be a TE. In the 80s, the Chargers had 3-1000 receivers and a 1000 RB in several seasons.
(Unfortunately they also had a crap defense)
