Cowboys defense ranked 30

I'm not a believer that Dak is the guy who will lead us to a championship. Back in 2023, I decided I was being way too wishy washy on my stance and had to take a firmer stance. I've never said that I thought that Dak was a bad quarterback, just that he isn't clutch when it comes to the big game or the playoffs. He's played fairly well the last two games. Is he a top 5 or even a top 10 quarterback in the league? Not in my book, but I consider myself to have higher standards on what I consider to be in that ranking than others. Dak can prove me wrong; the Greenbay game is coming. You got Dallas in the Win column on that one?
Played fairly well???

Get out of here with that stuff.

Dak has been lights out! He is the reason this team was even in both games to start this season. That you refuse to admit the obvious clearly proves how much you hate him.

Just own it. I would respect you more if you did so.
 
While we avoided 0-2 and all that comes with that with a win I came away with more concerns than reliefs.

Our defense made a QB on his last legs look in SB form as Wilson threw for about 450 yards. And that was after they were flagged for almost 200 yards in penalties. How many leads did we give up. Truly incredible.

I can’t recall coming away from a win so discouraged. This defense is even worse than I imagined. Could be our worse defense this era . And we’ve had some bad ones.

Number 11 is missing
 
Diggs appears to be a problem as well. He obviously isn’t a 100%.
I think his problems mostly had to do with the zone coverage, but he has said that he needed to ramp up after his recovery, so it's quite possible that he's not where he needs to be yet. Our problem is that we have little choice but to play him as much as he can possibly handle.
 
We have ample issues on this roster. Dak is helping keep this team afloat . Those other broader opinions have no bearing on our immediate situation.
I got no problems with how Dak has played so far. Think AC is just upset that I felt it ridiculous that he got moved up 3 spots on the NFL.COM QB Index, after a loss. You don't have to be a top 10 Quarterback to keep the cowboys afloat. The bigger issue got exposed in our win against the Gnats, which is the secondary and lack of pass rush.
 
Get rid of Eberflus and his zone coverage crap. Zone coverage has hurt the defense every year for the past 10 years.
You don’t think we are hurting in personnel as well. Bland out and Diggs obviously not full recovered . Not to mention weakness at LB and Parsons gone with no real pass rush. Those all take a toll .

I don't need your respect. Dak played well. Aubrey been our MVP.

Our defense is our biggest problem. Regardless what you think of Dak he’s why we have been in these games.

No need to bring in other issues.
 
Why was Clowney available?
Because no one was offering him the money he was seeking? I don't know. I'm sure a lot of teams wouldn't mind having him for the right price, but that may not have been his price. I'm not saying he's anything great at this point, but just based on last season, he's good enough to be on an NFL roster.

So what is his price no one else wanted to pay? Are we paying it??

Don't know. Might have been $5 million and when he didn't get it, he settled for $3.5 million. He could have other similar offers and chose ours. He mentioned the opportunity to be in primetime and show what he can still do to the rest of the league, so maybe that's his motivation. I just hope it works out, but am not expecting much. He's definitely proven more than any of the other DEs we've got, but we don't know how worn down he is.

Wilson had like seven throws of 25 yards plus. That means he had all day to throw. Just crazy how bad we need to have an NFL level pass rush.
