I have never seen two unhappier people who have all the reason in the world to be happy. Both have won the lottery. I can only assume the pressure that comes along with the expectations is too much to handle.

CD makes more than all the other 88's combined. Dez, Irvin and Pearson. He is a faint shadow of all 3.

Dak is the highest paid player in the history of the NFL. Lofty expectations come with that and deservedly so.

I find the whole thing hard to watch and am certainly not excited about any of it.

There’s been quite a few current and ex-Cowboys receivers show frustration with #4 at the helm. It’s when it’s been under thrown, over thrown, thrown behind them, or its throws that gets them laid out by a defender.

Lamb isn’t the first and won’t be the last. We’ve had the same issues year after year and we’ve cycled through a lot of positional players except for the QB position. It’s quite obvious to a lot of us here except for a few.

It’s not all on Dak, but if you want to be the highest paid player you better bring it and make everyone around you better. Which he doesn’t. At all.

How many times have we seen this act play out during the Jones era? Players negotiate huge contracts, and start to suck immediately. When you have two or three guys (two of whom reneged on existing contracts) making more than the next 30 on the roster combined, there is going to be dysfunction, and grumbling in the locker room. All of this will eventually be unfairly laid at McCarthy's feet, and he will be shown the door. That table's already set.

Bloody and sod!
I remember CeeDee and Dak being frustrated with each other during the Packers game.
Then CeeDee and his mom threw shade at Dak in the off season.
Then Jerald gifted CeeDee $135 mil over 4 years.
Since then Lamb has been pedestrian in 3 games.
Now I am looking at ESPN/youtube and there are short clips about Dak and CeeDee having bad feelings and words for each other. Is Dak throwing less to our golden boy and more to fergie like today?
What does this mean going forward?

Maybe CeeDee needs to look in the mirror and also review his play......initially. It's called being objective.

There is a difference between them. Lamb is a top player at his position. He has the potential to be the greatest WR in Cowboys history.

Dak is a level below at his position. At this point he is below Aikman, Staubach and Romo. Hard to see him surpassing any of those three.

CeeDee isn't Michael Irvin. He'll have more gaudy numbers because of the era but Irvin was a clearly better player.

dez’s career here has been vastly over-rated. What exactly did he accomplish? He doesn’t deserve to mentioned alongside Irvin and Pearson or Bob Hayes.

I can understand CD being upset, since he’s got Dak at QB. Even his mom knows how bad Dak is.

The play call too.. it’s a third a 7. The DL is dropping into the zone to double Lamb. Defenses are basically focused on taking away Lamb away.

look how basic it is, this time witj Lamb as a decoy. Zeke isn’t getting the yards if he catches it. Turn and throw Dak as usual throws a duck. He’s throwing it a lot at the feet of his backs it seems too these days.

CD should have taken the opportunity to bolt. He knew the caliber QB he would be playing with if they re-signed #4.
