Not sure how Dunbar's loss affects things.

To me what's going to make this offense go is A. Improved running game and B. More completions to WR's. The dump-offs have been moderately successful but only to a point.

At least it will be moderately entertaining to watch all the same people who said Dunbar was a Jag and wasn't worth a crap, suddenly start telling us the year is done now that he's gone. I can barely wait to hear the wailing and the gnashing of teeth.

did he really prove anything or are people who are used to sub par players really got excited over nothing? We havent gotten a full year out of him. Some of his best yards come in prevent. What er you really impressed with? He goes forward? Has he really done , lets compare him to Sproles? What has Dunbar done other then being Dunbar thats made him so damn impressive? PLease state only facts, not things you wish will happen.

I agree. It almost gives Weeds no choice but to throw to WR's now!

Who knew?

He was a UDFA who has played almost zero in the prior 3 seasons.

How could anybody <really> project what we saw from him this year?

Will be interesting to see what happens with Dunbar with him becoming a unrestricted FA at the end of the season. I'd say the chances of the Cowboys franchising / tagging him are almost zero.

Lance Dunbar proved me wrong with his play. He played much better than I expected. It's sad he went out like that. Honestly, Lucky Whitehead should be returning punts, since he has a knack for it and we don't use him much elsewhere on the team. I really hope Garrett doesn't try to trot out Cole Beasley.

okay then, there's one less guy on the roster to make room for the Kraken and Ro McClain coming back

I'm thinking that could be too.

He may simply retire.

Or I think Dallas is going to go RB in the next draft.

I reckon some team will offer him a juicy guarantee and he will jump at it. Also the Giants seem to enjoy Cowboy cast offs.
