Wait a darn minute.....I was told Dak is merely a bus driver.
He literally has the best talent around him on offense of any QB in the league.
No, he’s carrying this team. The defense is being gashed every week.
This is a flat out lie. He may have the best 4 wr's in football going from 1-4. His offensive line is awesome. Pollard is underrated. While the defense hasn't been great, the turnovers have been. Far from carrying the team.
Are we supposed to apologize for giving our qb talent? Isn't that the point of team building?
I love Dak as much as you do but it is an overstatement to say that he is carrying the team. We are winning games because there are many people making huge contributions towards the wins. We wouldn't be 5-1 without Dak but I would argue that we wouldn't be 5-1 without Diggs, Gregory, Zeke, etc. I know that you are only making this proclamation to piss off Dak detractors but you have taken it too far with this one. Having said that, there is no quarterback that I would rather have under center than Dak. Go Cowboys!!!Dak and the offense are definitely carrying this team. However I don't think the defense is as bad as the stats show. Dak and the offense have gotten the Cowboys off to great starts and put the team ahead for most games. Even the Bucs game they went toe to toe with Brady down to the last minutes of the game and should've won except for some missed FG's. Don't get me wrong, the defense allowing all those yards in the 3rd and 4th quarters is not a good thing. Too many big chunk gains being made on the defense throughout the game but mostly when the defense is behind. I'm hoping that the more playing time the youngsters get under their belt, the return of some studs like D-Law will improve the defense. Then we have Gallimore, Joseph and maybe Hill to add. This defense doesn't have to be elite because Dak and the offense can carry the team but when it gets to the playoffs they will need to certainly play better. The Bucs won the Super Bowl last year more because of their defense than their offense.
And it took every bit of that to beat a 2-3 team with a Rookie QB.Dak is playing out of his mind but the team just looks ready every week, and coaching has a lot to do with it.
I can't remember the last Dallas game I watched where we had 500 plus yards of offense, a pick six, and a blocked punt. Did it last Sunday.
The offense will only get better with the return of Collins and Gallup. The key to defense will be the pass rush with Parsons, Tank, and Gregory. We need consistent get a pass rush on 3rd downs. It will cause more turnovers and punts. We really need Joseph to step up and be our third corner. The Bucs, Rams, and Cardinals have at least 3 elite receivers plus tight ends and running backs. We have to force turnovers or get off the field on 3rd down to beat those teams. Who’s dumb idea was it to eliminate the second bye? I have a feeling the Cowboys get the second seed in the NFC.Dak and the offense are definitely carrying this team. However I don't think the defense is as bad as the stats show.

I wonder if Rocky will keep this same energy if Dak doesn't lead the team to the ultimate goal?
Or will that be the teams fault?
Yeah it is funny how before the season started none of our receivers were rated in the top 10 wide receivers in the league, Zeke was washed, and the offensive line was old/injured. Now that the Cowboys have Dak back and are 5-1 now they have the best talent in the league. I guess if we had a mediocre quarterback when Dak went down we would have made the playoffs. Oh wait……..Are we supposed to apologize for giving our qb talent? Isn't that the point of team building?
