Dak doesn't think Cowboys need a No. 1 receiver

[Hawkeye0202]

Dak Prescott - QB - Cowboys
Dak Prescott said he doesn't think the Cowboys need a No. 1 receiver.

"I don’t know if any team in the league necessarily needs a No. 1 receiver," said Prescott. "It’s about getting the ball out, spreading the ball around, keeping the defense on its toes." Prescott never quite clicked with Dez Bryant, which could have been a factor in the team cutting him this offseason. Now Prescott is left with a paper-thin receiving corps featuring free agent signing Allen Hurns, Terrance Williams, slot receiver Cole Beasley and third-round rookie Michael Gallup. Dak is going as a mid-range QB2 in early mock drafts.

Hope he can back that up.......... I have faith in him.

 

[Tangle_Foot]

Of course not we have a number one quarterback.

Come at me bro

 

[CPanther95]

We'll have to see if he changes his mind when the freed up safety/CB, that would have been doubling the #1 WR, is blindsiding him.

"Paper thin receiving corps"

I expect this kind of hyperbole from posters here, but not from professional writers.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

We'll see. He's only right if we win and the offense doesn't struggle.

 

[big dog cowboy]

They don't.

If the Cowboys go empty backfield there are mismatches all over the field.

 

[CATCH17]

I actually agree but when you trot out basic passing schemes like we do you need almost all the talent you can get.

We just gotta hope teams sell out on the run and we can win 1 on 1s.

 

[Cowboy4ever]

Teams that have a talented QB don't need a true #1 WR. Teams that have a QB like DaK, need all the elite talent they can get around him to help him be successful.

 

[noshame]

days of a #1 are over. This gives me hope.

 

[Mr_437]

Dak is on point w/ what he said, but mid-range QB2? I'll try my best to find different QBs for my fantasy squad.

 

[erod]

He's right.

 

[Hardline]

He only says that because he doesn't have one.
Ask him if he wants a Julio Jones on this team and see what he says.

 

[RodeoJake]

We're gonna find out if he's right in a few months. Either he's gonna be considered as one of the 5 best QBs in the game or we find out he needs better talent at receiver to succeed.

 

[Super_Kazuya]

All we need is (nominated for Cowboy offseason buzzword of the year for 2018) “route runners”...

 

[plymkr]

Hope he can back that up.......... I have faith in him.

I have faith in him too

Funny thing about it is that our depth at WR is extraordinary, it's the standout guy we're missing

 

[Jipper]

well, it has worked for brady and the patriots....

id personally rather have 4 guys that average out to 2's...than one 1 and a bunch of 4s.....

 

[JDSmith]

I think he's right. It's all about the QB making the right reads and getting the ball out on time. With or without a number 1 guys will come open, if he can anticipate it and get the ball there the offense will succeed. For him it might actually be better because there isn't the added pressure of trying to get the ball to a specific guy. Just make the read and make the throw.

 

[Cowpolk]

We dont have any receivers that wear # 1 and why does Dak not like the number 1
