This may have been no so much an error on the value of Schoonmaker, but rather on the value of Ferguson, who at the time of the draft seemed like a competent backup rather than the excellent starter he's become. Sometimes good draft strategy depends not just on perceptive assessment of who you might draft, but also of who you already have.
You can't move on. His contract makes it impossible. Second, teams move on when they have a replacement. We don't have a replacement. With Guyton hurt and struggling, Tyler Smith likely is going to be playing more LT which means Bass goes to LG. Who you putting at RG when you trade Martin?
Well some times that is what most teams do . Of course if the OL had pushed bodies half an yard , Dowdle would not have to reach in , but I think he thought jumping over the pile and getting the ball across goal line , but wasn’t equipped to do it.
Why? Because he correctly pointed out that Dak wasn't all that good last night?
Bluntly speaking I would give Richards a shot at RT and see how he does
Because he is a knuckledragger who refuses to read and understand what is being said, let alone think. The "Dak sucks hurrr durr excuses hurr durr" is a rinse and repeat line that these people can't get away from, no matter what was said, and makes actual conversation impossible.
Honestly, I might try Guyton out there if he's healthy to get his feet under him before maybe trying him back at LT in future.
Your last paragraph kind is something I have hinted at before. You guys want people to think Dak is a great, elite QB. Well, the expectations are that great/elite QBs still have to perform even when the talent around them isn't ideal. And that's always been kind of humorous to me about the pro-Dak crowd. They blanche at the idea that people don't consider Dak a great QB but then when people hold him to the standard of other great QBs, suddenly it's all excuses for them.
Dowdle is not a short yardage goalline back.
He's not a homer, he is a Cowboys fan. What a stupid question about the NFC Champ game. Do you yourself not know the answer?
That is a stupid expectation - that's the whole point. It is entirely baseless. None of them are prolific when the talent isn't there.
Yes, Bass is good, very good technician... and getting better.
apparently neither you nor he are able to figure it out
by your logic, the engine does not have to be as good if everything else is
No, that is not at all what I said.
you vastly over rate your football intellect
Yawn
LOL literally every quarterback you mention has taken a team further than Dak ever has in nine seasons. Only one of them has been around as long as he has and none of them having a abysmal playoff record like he does.
