CeeDee Lamb reveals Dak Prescott's issues with the Dallas Cowboys

[cnuball21]

They had Dak on a rookie deal and couldn’t do it. That was a clear sign to move on and not pay a max deal.

It’s not just a Cowboy thing it’s a NFL thing.

Romo had the same problem. Made too much.

So if a team can’t win a Super Bowl with their rookie QB then they should not give him a contract and go draft another QB until they win a super bowl?

That’s an interesting strategy.

Geez. Please use some perspective. Rush won 4 games where the defense allowed 13.2 points per game. When he finally went against a good defense (Philly) he threw 3 lollipop interceptions.

Hurts is about to get paid more than Dak and I bet Howie Roseman doesn't send AJ Brown or Devonta Smith packing like Jerrah did with Cooper. Great GMs know how to work the CAP. There was no excuse for Jerry trading Copper and not having a viable option to replace him. The CAP is too easy to manipulate and is constantly increasing. He gave Cooper up for a 5th round pick. We basically traded Cooper for Matt Waletzko.

I mean you say that but we have seen time and time again that the wr is the peice to go after the qb gets the bag. KC, green bay, etc. Same thing is gong to happen in Cincinnati with Higgins. It's just not worth it to pay wrs big time money.

There are many quarterbacks who didn't win Superbowls on their rookie deal my friend.

Factor in that Dak also played under some weak offensive coordinators especially the junior college level offensive coordinator who just left to go to the Chargers. Again, I don't think Dak is the long term answer for us, but he's played better than his whole draft class and he's a 4th round pick.

CeeDee Lamb thinks Cowboys are not giving Dak Prescott what he needs to succeed
The Dallas Cowboys fell short from their main objective this year: the Super Bowl LVII. CeeDee Lamb analyzed their season and has revealed Dak Prescott's biggest issue: the lack of talent surrounding him.


After being eliminated by the 49ers, the wide receiver got real on the differences between both rosters and thinks that's the main problem Prescott has that's preventing him to succeed.

"You gotta surround (the quarterback)," Lamb said to Around the NFL podcast on Wednesday. "You go look at the Eagles, and they've got three receivers, a great tight end group, they run the ball well, the O-line is very phenomenal. You look at San Fran, they surrounded their quarterback and you get success ultimately. I mean we've got just as many weapons, but that extra player, all it takes is one. You can be so close to the Super Bowl and it can be a deciding factor."

What was the excuse when he had Cooper here as well?

 

[jay94]

2021 Dak had Cooper, Lamb, Gallup, and Wilson at WR....Schultz at TE...Zeke and Pollard at RB......he was surrounded with talent so stop with the excuses already.

Zeke isn't talent, he's a waste of space, but yes, he had a very good year too. The oline failed against the niners in the 21 season.

I don’t care how Dak has played or whatever.

You can’t pay him too dollar and win Superbowls because you can’t build the necessary team around him with wins and losses.

Cooper Rush wasn’t unbelievable but he could get you to the same place Dak could.

I thought the QB was supposed to help raise the level of play and make his teammates better.

That’s true, but when the cupboard is too bare, even the ‘great quarterbacks’ like Brady and Rodgers struggle.

KC and GB were dealing with WRs that got $28 million per year (Davante Adams) and $30 million per year (Tyreek Hill). Plus they have QBs (Rodgers and Mahomes) that don't necessarily need to be surrounded by a ton of weapons. I'm not asking Jerry to go out and spend Davante Adams or Tyreek Hill type money on a WR. Just go get a legit #2 to pair with Lamb. Instead he threw away almost $12 million a year into Gallup who was coming off a major injury. We could have used that $12 million and a little more to possibly add someone that could have made a real impact for 2022. Instead we reward Gallup just because he is one of our guys and then toss Cooper to the side for a 5th rounder. Basically, we went into the season with only 1 true starting WR.

That being said, I see what you are saying. It's hard to pay everyone and we do have Lamb's contract coming up. Although we can throw the 5th year option on him since he is a 1st round pick. I just wish the WR draft class was a little deeper this year. We may be able to snag one in the 1st round. Relying on a 3rd rounder (Tolbert) to ease the pain of losing Cooper and waiting for Gallup to be ready was just plain stupid.

I will forever believe that this team cost themselves a shot at a Championship with their terrible offseason decision to give away Amari Cooper.

I think the season would have played out drastically differently and they might still be playing.

 

[cowboyec]

he's not wrong.
we're close...just not yet.

One of the worst moves I can remember in the last decade…just awful.

They paid the ultimate price for it.

And both they and some fans can claim otherwise. But actions speak louder than words, and their own actions show that halfway through the season, they realized they messed up badly.

That’s when they started talking trade with the Texans and the began talking with Beckham. They ultimately signed TY Hilton, but by that point it was too little too late.

 

[KDM256]

Nothing wrong with Lamb's comments. Two things can be true, we need better skill position players on offense but also need better play from Dak on the big stage.

Yea, talking to OBJ and eventually signing Hilton was them admitting they blew it without saying it.

Hopefully they fix it this offseason but I’ll hold my breath.

That's total BS that Cooper Rush can get us the same places Dak could. We wouldn't have made it to the playoffs with Rush as our starter the whole season.

Rush cannot lead a team to the playoffs barely averaging 100 yards passing every game.

Dak played in the NFL one year longer than Cooper Rush. Rush has been on practice squads and annually released to be picked back up on practice squads.... Dak has earned a max contract and outplayed his whole draft class and Dak was drafted in the 4th round.

If Rush can do what Dak does, why was he still on our roster as a third stringer so long??? Is it that 31 other GMs missed the ball on Rush?? Where is Rush max contract at??? Why isn't Rush a starter with another NFL franchise??

 

[Dre11]

The big problem, is he willing to take less to get those other weapons though?

Good idea...put more lipstick on the pig to try and make him with the beauty contest.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Yeah Stephen got some of our fans conditioned to watch the salary cap like he does, it a beautiful trick that he's done to our fan base. While other GMs go out and get players like their jobs depend on it......because it does.

I agree. It started with that whole stupid "piece of the pie" crap....a joke.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

They saved a bunch of money by not signing Gregory, what did they do with the money?

Exactly! Not a damn thing. Dak cost 20 million against the cap.....where's the money going?

We were winning with Cooper Rush.

Andy Dalton had a higher win percentage as a starter than Dak did the season Dalton started.

The goal is to win championships and Rush and Dak will get you to the same spot. Nowhere.
