The Dak to Witten connection just might be something to watch this year.

Whatever concerns I have about the defense, their showing in a preseason game they won against a team they're going to play later in the season have zero impact on them.

Offense was lousy in this 1.

Defense had a couple of mental lapses

OL didn't block well, penalties

Dak taken a sack when two outlets in front of him. Overthrow to Dez. Romoesque clock management. Don't go brain dead on me Dak! It was like Tony Romo took over Dak's brain! His best play was the overturned pass to Williams! A beauty

Jack Del Rio had his guys amped to play(defense), we were sleep walking!

You guys had me worried about the defense! I thought the floodgates were open! Just a couple of mental lapses that will be worked out!

I come away more worried about the offense

Matt Ryan was 4-11 @ Cards. Yikes! We may need Cooper Rush for that one!

Yea i agree with this. Offense did not look good to me.

Zeke with 3 ypc
Dak missing that bomb to Dez and taking that sack
L.Collins penalties
10 points vs a pourous Raiders defense

The secondary choices were the right ones, moving forward with cheaper younger players. But there are going to be tough times with a new group. Players like Carr and church, who weren't amazing, still provided a middle of the road veteran presence.

i'm not going to get fooled by this mediocre nonsense anymore. we're going nowhere with this defense. i've seen this story before. it's time to get aggressive in the trade market.

Not the points. The Raiders front took it to us. That was disappointing

Dak's pass to Witten was much better than the Williams throw! Surrounded by Raiders.

Tweet from a guy who fancies himself a QB guru:
Dak Prescott's Ceiling is Tom Brady or Peyton Manning if he develops a Touch on his passing

Agree?

Conversation w him:
Jerry Jones is the type of Owner who would trade Dak Prescott for a Top 5 Pick in the draft and grab a QB... I wouldn't blame him either

Dak Prescott's Ceiling is Tom Brady or Peyton Manning if he develops a Touch on his passing but QBs in upcoming draft Potential through roof


Can Dak become a perfect Mechanical QB? Or will he always just be 5-10QB in the NFL? Or roll dice for a Top 5 QB? Jerry that kinda Risky

Me:
If that's his ceiling, then why wouldn't you blame Jerry for trading him? You're also wrong about Jerry being a risky owner

Him:
Not many QBs reach their ceiling. Next draft has some QBs with amazing potential, so if Jerry was risky i wouldn't blame him.

Me:
Drafting a QB that high is a risk that JJ hasn't taken since 1989. JJ likes Roma, Dak type: get them cheap, pay them big when they prove Themselves

Him:

Probably correct. I'd personally stick with Dak and try improve him each year.

Would you deal him for top 5? Can he reach his potential? Would you be satisfied if he tops out at mere 5-10 QB?

is there anything more pointless than arguing over where a qb is ranked? Who Cares, it means nothing.
