I hope Madden makes his rating even lower. Dez reminds me of the musician who was poor and a nobody but the music was great, then when the money comes the hunger disappears. He isn't hungry anymore. Smh

Interesting that he brushes off questions in relation to Dez and Zeke (referring to Zeke's success as a byproduct of the line) but he gushes over Cole every chance he gets,

Dak and Cole, the new bff? :)

Thanks for the awesome vid @marchetta
I noticed that, he said beasely he noticed from day one as a hard worker, and always gets open.
So could be he sees in him someone like himself, and the getting open alot helps dak.

It is easy. Pretty much every #1 WR on every other team has out-performed Dez this year. And he won't be catching up anytime soon from the looks of it. How can Dez be a top 10 WR if he can't stay on the field?

OK. Go Cowboys

Because he broke his leg and still played through it and scored a touchdown? I'm almost done defending our guy, you dudes are coming out in full force :( no diss at you, Guru. It's been a long day...

Holy crap, this dude doesn't give a you-know-what!! Dude shows moxie even in the press room! Speaks like a grizzled, 10 year vet.

The whole world brushes off his shoulders. His turbulent life experiences certainly play a part in his incredibly stable demeanor.

So cool, calm. I'm swooning
Couldn't have said it any better

He's mentioned before about having a faceless offense and taking whatever the defense gives you and it's the wrong approach. You have to know your personnel and how to best maximize it.
You don't think he has done that? He sees 88...he is saying what needs to be said for the benefit of the rest of the offense.

Careful. The Bears were not a trap, but this very well could be. They got mollywhopped in their last two outings...but against really good teams. I'm not as confident for this one as I was against the Bears.

So much this. If we can't win against this 9er team, even missing Dez and co, Garrett will have some 'splaining to do. There would be no excuse. But he'll probably have one, with a lot of "footballs" in the quote
So if Dak throws 3 INts that is on JG, because Dak made a poor read, or poor throw.

Yeah I guess instead of buying a monkey he should have bought that piece of medical marvel that allows you to train so your bones dont break.

It's not just that. From the buddy buddy stuff with Beckham/Norman, the drops, etc.

Guess what that is the culture in todays NFL. The drops he see the most contested passes but he is supposed to bring in 100% of those balls. Still sore about that TD broken up by the Giants in the endzone huh?

If we don't have Dez the game plan should consist of short throws/pick plays and screens, to you know, eliminate a 3 pick game.

Except Dak still throws 5-6 questionable balls a game, either too high, too low, behind, too far out front. Also dink and dunk are much more susceptible to pick 6 and batted balls

Really? Dak seems to have no problem distributing the ball to his other receivers in case you haven't noticed.

I will say Garrett (or most likely Linehan) has done an excellent job gameplanning for Dak, as he has mostly thrown very safe throws, that have resulted in zero passes being interceptable (as I believe @gmoney112 pointed out earlier, but it may have been a different poster -- if it was, apologies to whomever brought that stat to the Zone).

To answer your question, with your hypothetical, yes I would put some (not all) of it on Garrett, as at that point (multiple ints), the passing game would have been a failure and Dak's inexperience and shakiness should have resulted in a heavily run-oriented attack. But I don't think our guy is gonna throw three picks, so I can't buy into that hypothetical at this time.

If, after the game, we have this sort of situation where Dak had an off night, I will remember this exchange and we can discuss who's fault the loss falls at the feet of. I'll be here, dishing out likes :)

Garrett is a mediocre coach, so my money is on the fault (your hypothetical, notwithstanding) of our coaching staff. Mostly, at least. Sure, players bare some responsibility. But Garrett has been mediocre for far too long to get the benefit of the doubt, at this point (from me).

And mind you, this is your hypothetical. I could easily counter with one of my own (that would be slanted towards Garrett, asking you for your take) but I'm tired from defending Dez all evening. So let's see what happens this Sunday and hope we don't have to revisit this discussion. I think the Cowboys come away with a victory, regardless :)

Your right that 45 pass against the giants with the awesome 5 yards per completion
