what are you talking about staying on the topic? I responded to someone else’s point about patting JJ on the back for rosters moves and in return made a counterpoint about how while I don’t agree with the roster move to let cooper go- I referenced a roster move that was successful. it was in direct response to someone saying that cooper being gone is the reason we aren’t the 1 seed which is extreme hyperbole. So I was on topic…..pipe down.
Secondly I never ever blamed daks bad mistakes solely for all the interceptions. I said many of them were just bad decisions and they were but that’s not the sole reason he had so many. Some were bad decisions, some were miscommunications. Some were just bad luck where balls hit receivers hands and became interceptions- u can’t just assume that Noah brown (who was on the team last year) or ceedee (who was on the team last year also with cooper) won’t have miscues because coopers on the rosters. That’s incredibly dumb.
ya know what else led directly to the loss in Green Bay? The defense not being able to get a 4th&7 stop and momentum when they needed it to put the game away. Cooper gonna play safety? Or u think we should line him up at the edge ? Cooper gonna stop the run?
The are many reasons we aren’t the 1 seed. Putting that squarely on amare cooper is extreme hyperbole. The same cooper btw who never showed up on the road for us was gonna single handily be the reason we won in Green Bay and jax.
this also disregards the fact that I said……I didn’t like trading him. Read that again big boy. I didn’t like trading him but him gone isn’t solely the reason we aren’t the 1 seed that’s incredibly stupid to suggest it is. Hey while we are at it- what’s our offensive numbers look?
We have lost two OT games. By a very narrow margin. Both games affected by turnovers where the WRs were primarily to blame on some of them— not Dak.
We have been looking for more consistency from the WR corps all year. The team is telling you that when they try and make trades at the deadline, try and sign OBJ, and finally ink Hilton.
All I am saying is that Amari Cooper’s absence has been felt all year. Felt in lack of production. Felt in some confusion and lack of precision in the WR corps. And felt by Dak as his chemistry is off with anyone not named Lamb or Schultz (and even they have had their sloppy moments and mistakes).
As for offensive numbers this year? Try this on:
Dak in 2021 had 37 TDs and 10 INTs.
Dak in 2022 has 22 TDs and 14 INTs.
As you have said repeatedly, Lamb, Gallup, and Brown were on the team in 2021. Who wasn’t? Hmmmm… maybe Amari’s absence has affected Dak and the passing game far more than our genius FO thought it would.
That is all I am saying. The fact that this team is 12-4 is a testament to how good they are— but they likely would have been even better if they had Amari on the roster.
If you think we are a better team without Amari, we can just agree to disagree. I hated the decision when they made it, and IMO they have been trying to fix it ever since and it is the single biggest contributor to the offensive struggles we have seen this year (there are other factors and reasons— but IMO it has had a horrid trickle down effect)
