My vote is Guyton as well.
Has athletic traits but gets beat up in pass protection.
There’s still
Hope, but remember the glowing reports from training camp about how he was stifling the Dallas def line…..
which kind of foreshadowed how bad the DL was

Joe Burrow
Lamar Alexander
Josh Allen

All three of those guys have the heart of a Lion and advanced skills sets. There is a reason they are called Franchise QBs. They make lesser players much better. They inspire other players to play better. No one doesn't think the Cowboys wouldn't be a playoff team if they had just one of the 3 named above as their starting QB.
Lamar Jackson right?

but a point to make is none of them have a ring.

Dak hating fans are by far the worst. Can't go anywhere and enjoy anything Cowboys without hearing your ridiculous blame and over-dramatized complaints.
Kinda funny not one Dak post and here you are whining about something that doesn’t appear yet

Adding "besides Dak" in the title pretty much tells you the OP's #1 reason for blame for this season and faulty team. Let's quit messing around with #2s, #3s, etc. We all know who is the #1 blame.
It’s not a Dak thread even if he’s number 1

The fact that the FO thought he was a number 1 back just shows you everything you needed to know about this team coming into the season. That is the disappointing thing.
No one thought he was a number 1. That's fantasy. They thought he could contribute.

The Cowboys FO did not view Zeke as a RB1. Not even close. He was the short yardage specialist. The 3rd and 1 or ball on the one yard line guy.

Again he received the majority of the carries early in the season. The Cowboys believed in Zeke. Stop it. Why do you think Zeke started complaining he never saw himself as a short yardage back. How can you have a short yardage back when don’t have a starter. The Cowboys never thought much of Dowdle. He made less money then Zeke.

They did when they signed him, as Balt pointed out he did get starter reps until his production couldn't justify the reps any longer.

Yes, that is exactly what it said & what it means. But the point was to not talk about the #1 disappointment. Everyone but you went along with that.

You overrated Ferguson. As soon as the guy shows any ability you immediately annoint him a star. You do it all the time. See Steele, Terence.

Ferguson is a solid TE. Nowhere near a top tier starter.

I have to call it a tie between all four DE's going down early in the season and the Cowboys not addressing the running game by providing a more productive running partner for Dowdle.

1) Free Agency approach. Worst in modern football era,

2)Dak regression. He carried the Green Bay performance into this years season.

3)Diggs and Bland. Could be one of the best tandoms in football. in Football.

4)Injuries: Williams, Tank, Bland, Zach Micah, kneeland, Dak

5)Coaching, coaching, coaching

That was the problem. You can get a lot of big strong guys who can push a pile for a lot less. When the team is strapped for dollars Zekes contract was excessive. No one would have paid him what we did. It just made no sense.
