Amari was brought here after Dak was struggling with Allen Hurns, IIRC.

To summaries Dak’s weaknesses, Dak struggles

1) under pressure (blitz and weight of carrying a franchise),
2) can’t win 4 games in a Row in the playoffs. Heck, Can’t get past divisional round.
3) completely folds against tough defenses. Plays the “dump off, high completion” game in playoffs or key games to show it is not him and his WR’s rarely see the ball as a result. Plays “small ball” (dink and dunk)…like Kirk cousins used to.

The offense and daks confidence got better when amari got here. Great route runner, tough over the middle. Clutch like gamer winner in Minnesota a few years ago.

Fast forward to playoff loss with the 49ers. We lose and in typical Jerry fashion, Someone has to be the scapegoat. As a result, Cooper is gone in 2021.

In 2022, Dak struggles with ints since cee dee is evolving into the new number 1. 49ers again, Dak plays “small ball”. Another loss against a very inexperienced mr irrelevant (a backup) with no real solid playoff experience at that point.

In 2023, looks like we have a historic defense that can carry Dak like dilfer was carried by Baltimore. Sweet! Surely Dak can win a few games if the defense falters, no?

Diggs go down. Defense has some setbacks. Our wr have 0 tds. Dallas loses to a tanking worst team (32nd ranked team) in the league Arizona. Plays small ball again (dinking and dunking), Loses to backup Dobbs, a journeyman. Again, a backup. The defense can’t carry Dak.

Gallup, last year, and Cooks, this year, can’t carry dak.

Nobody could carry Dak but Cooper. Cooper meanwhile in Cleveland caught balls from jacoby Brisett, a journeyman, and carried him. Cooper is carrying Watson this year.

We got nobody to carry Dak. It seems impossible to carry Dak and do you miss Amari yet?

We can’t resign Dak.

Cooper is gone because be couldn't keep his eyes on the prize. Every interview he was talking about playoffs and super bowl, that was in the regular season.

I remember Cooper carrying his helmet when he checked himself out of games in critical situations.

Come on, are we still arguing about Cooper? Dude has gone through three teams and has yet to be the alpha. CeeDee is already miles ahead of him. Talented receiver, no doubt, but not a franchise guy and shouldn’t be paid like it.

He never checked himself out of games in critical situations. That was Garrett who took him out of a game in a critical situation against Philly. You could see Amari standing on the sidelines upset. The last season Amari was in Dallas, Dak had one of his best seasons. He put up 4500 yards and had a career high 37 TDs. His passer rating was 104.2. Amari had to be accounted for. He led the team with 8 TDs that season despite not being targeted enough. He opened everything up for our other receivers. We’re still feeling his loss.

If we resigned him, there's some players wouldn't have been able to keep.

Dak is one of the best against Blitz.

Team game.


completely folds against tough defenses. Plays the “dump off, high completion” game in playoffs or key games to show it is not him and his WR’s rarely see the ball as a result. Plays “small ball”…like Kirk cousins used to.
Jets aren't a tough Defense? Play calling this year specifically has been conservative and much more short passing game.


The offense and daks confidence got better when amari got here.
As previously stated by you, Allen Burns, any teams wit QB confidence will improve when a much better wr wit added, not sure how this a negative.


In 2022, Dak struggles with ints since cee dee is evolving into the new number 1.
Conveniently leave off WR2 was Noah Brown and a severely hobbled Gallup.It has been shown by many people at least half of Dak's interceptions were on wr.


Diggs go down. Defense has some setbacks. Our wr have 0 tds.
And 3/5 of OL all within a day or 2 late in week short practice time for rookies replacing pro bowl starters. Entire playbook had to be altered.
Dallas loses to a tanking worst team
Prove the Cardinals are tanking. Game 3 team poured water on coach at end of game, this was their Superbowl they are not playing or coaching like a team tanking. This a false fan narrative.


Gallup, last year, and Cooks, this year, can’t carry dak.
Gallup last year was a shell of himself Noah Brown was WR 2.


Nobody could carry Dak but Cooper. Cooper meanwhile caught balls from jacoby Brisett, a journeyman, and carried him. Cooper is carrying Watson this year.
If he carried Dak, why didn't we beat the 49ers further why is he on his 3rd team? Why does he have a history of disappearing in road games?

Who says anyone has to carry Dak? You? Lol ok

No I don't miss Amari.

He is a good one. Misses a lot of practice.

It is a headscratcher that they paid Gallup over keeping Amari.

I lost all faith in Gallup when Amari and CD were out vs the Chiefs and he was a complete nonfactor. He just can't get the separation of those guys.

I'm sure some fans miss Copper. We would be lying to ourselves if we didn't admit he help the offense and Dak. Until they increase the salary cap where teams can keep every great player on the roster. We're going to miss a lot of great players in the future. It's the NFL, a business.

cooper could not carry dak against the niners in 2021 and replays showed him giving up too early on routes and not helping in blocking. Same thing against the broncos in a big loss at home.
Cee Dee and Gallup are sufficient for any QB to strive, but the offense has been dummied down to the QB to simplify the game and avoid interceptions. This offense will be tested well this year and many answers or questions will need to be answered.

The team was dumied up one game against the Cardinals due to 3 starters missing the game on the offensive line...Receivers are a very strong group and will start producing in strong clips, with the line back together.

Amari has more TDs this year than all Cowboys WRs combined. LOL. He has 1. But seriously, look at his YAC. 1.1. To me this exemplifies Amari Cooper and why I did not like him on the Cowboys. He doesn't fight for extra yards which to me means he is not a fighter period.

Still, he is averaging almost 6 receptions per game for 81 yards. per game. Not great, but he has made some big receptions for them. Also, Watson is a surprisingly bad QB, or has been so far. The game he had against Pittsburgh was breathtakingly bad. And look at his fully guaranteed contract. As much as I was underwhelmed by Cooper, I would not have given him away for a 5th round pick. I would have kept him and waiting for his market value to improve.
