Twitter: Execs say Zeke is the priority over Dak

[ItzKelz]

Pay Amari, Pay Zeke, Tag dak these next two years and draft a QB (assuming he wants more than Wentz)

Already exercised the option on Zeke. No RBs at the moment that are going to drive the price higher on the position. Take care of the 2 that will have the most immediate impact on your cap now. IMO this makes more sense.

Well Zeke (a top 3 RB) is much better than Dak (maybe a top 15) at their positions, but you have to take into account that QB is more valuable than RB.

When Zeke doesnt play, Dak doesnt play like a top-25 QB which is basically their point

aikman couldn't win without emmitt in the lineup. not so sure dak can win without zeke. take out zeke and the balanced offense is destroyed. that is, unless pollard can step it up and somewhat replace him. and that is asking a lot of any rb. connor replaced leveon bell in Pittsburgh. but let's be honest, he's no leveon bell. zeke runs, he blocks, and he is a very good receiver.

Generational talents show up when needed vs the Rams. As forDak not being elite, he completed 70% of his passes when Copper arrived. So what doea he have to do to complete % wise to be elite?

Nothing, because completion % is more a reflection of the system and the talent around a QB than it is the actual QB.

Ya, without Zeke, who will we sign to plug in and get us the 1,400-1,500 yards per season?

Darren McFadden ran for 1,000 yards and only started 10 games...

 

[Nav22]

Lip will be quivering?



Log off bro

“Why is Dez hoping for the vet minimum while Dak is making $30 mil/year???”

 

[DCBoysfan]

Honestly, who cares what EXECs who has no impacted by the decision that Dallas's makes think anyway. They can say whatever they want since the decision doesn't impact them one way or another. Unless this is another Dak hate thread disguised as a pay Zeke first thread........then well done.

More? They are major factors that affect completion percentage, absolutely. But the QB themselves are a huge factor as well. And not just their throwing ability, but their decision making as well.

 

[G2]

Let's not forget the off the field issues Elliott has hanging over his head. You never know what the league will do.

 

[Nav22]

Yep. When you draft a back at 4 and take a QB later who doesn't have any talent that's the situation you've created for yourself. You have to prioritize the RB over the QB.

Hahahahahaha

The “QB with no talent” has better numbers and a better record than the North Dakota dork you have a crush on.

(Oh, and he’s a better leader, is much more durable and hasn’t been thoroughly outplayed by his backup in back-to-back seasons.)

Depends on the system. Dak doesn't really have to make any. Brees and Brady make them on every play, but it's usually pre-snap.

So you’re saying Dak doesn’t make any decisions on where to throw the football?

Come on man.

That's not what I said.

But no, he doesn't make any decisions outside of standard reads. Dallas' passing offense is always "throw to the guy in single coverage." There's no decisions based on what the defense is doing.

imo, if we have to lose one of the three, I would suggest cooper.

There’s far more that goes into a QB’s decision making process than one simple read on any given play. There are a ton of factors both pre and post snap that the QB has to take into consideration when making decisions on where to throw the football.

You’re also ignoring how the pass rush and switches by the defense can affect where the QB needs to
Throw the ball.

QB decision making is far far more complex than what you are trying to present it as.

 

[Jake]

The same Zeke who decided not to show up vs the Rams, over Dak who completed 70% of his passes with Cooper on the Team.

It's almost as if the Rams sold out to stop the run, willing to let Dak complete passes and take their chances...or something.

This is what I'm including in "standard reads." Every QB in the league can do that.

For Dak, those are very, very easy, because of the run game. The passing offense is almost exclusively identifying the safety, and targeting the WR on the side of the field where the safety came into the box, because that's where you get man coverage. That's why Amari is a perfect fit for this offense, he wins against man coverage every time. It's also why he and Dak didn't need any time to build chemistry - Dak throws when a guy is open, not with anticipation or before they make their breaks.

Based on what we have seen already and the numbers posted by Prescott, Cooper and Zeke...Elliott looks like the only future HOFer. So, a HOF caliber player should always take precedence over those who a lesser talented no matter the position. Dallas hit the jackpot with that pick despite his at times immature antics off the field. Anytime a team picks in the top 5 the hope is that player has HOF potential and lives up to it. I would even expand that to the top 10. If that happens you had a successful draft, if the player is a multiple pro bowl/all-pro then that is a success as well.

Zeke is a bad man...

 

[Toruk_Makto]

This must sting to those Dak stans and those who said Zeke at 4 was foolish (@Toruk_Makto )

Nobody has ever argued Zeke is a bad player.

Please educate yourself. Or embarrass yourself arguing against a strawmen. Whatever makes you happy.
