Borrowing a term from baseball. WAR wins against replacement

[Killerinstinct]

Looking for predictions.

Wins if we keep Dez. Wins if we cut Dez.

I will go first.

10 wins with Dez
8 wins without.

I like Dez. I want him lined up out wide. I think the offense will miss his presence. I don't think he's a 2 WAR guy though.

Yes and without Zeke and then Tryon and Lee injuries.

I change it to 11 with Dez. 8 without.

 

[Aviano90]

8-8 either way

 

[Ddisco22]

good reply, no zeke as well as no LG

ahhh so we are going to use the injury excuse for Dez....meanwhile the Eagles went on to win a SB with more injuries than us...i got it!

They also had someone to back him up that was successful, you have to account for injury.
what happened when Smith went out, Dak took 7 sacks or something like that?
injury,poor coaching and running for your life would hinder any team.

No. Zeke was suspended. Swing tackle has been addressed in F.A. and LB will be addressed in the draft.

11-5 with Dez. 8-8 without him.

That is my prediction. I am not making injury excuses for Dez.

I am predicting our record with him and without him.

Yeah, especially considering the baseball season has 10 times the opportunities for wins as baseball.

2 WAR is crazy high in that sense.

 

[blindzebra]

Dallas was 3-0 without him in 2016. Dak had QBR of 114.7, 117.9, 117.4.

 

[AmericanCowboy]

Dez is a negative at this point

 

[Sandyf]

13-3 with or without him!

 

[CowboyChris]

Dez is a negative at this point

and a distraction on most gamedays.... Fact

2016 Cowboys:
10-3 with Dez
3-0 without

Dez isn't the linchpin. He's not necessarily the problem, either.

no proof? how many times have you seen him on the sidelines pitching a huge fit? I'm not saying that players shouldn't do that but it seems like he is always upset about something which translates to a distraction.
