Lets be honest.. Dak is going to go into a shell eventually in a big game. The guy is not a big game player and Dak is always at his best when the run game is dominant.

Also, we can get back to playing keep away from our opponent which in turn will help the defense.

Fixing the run game could also be a fairly cheap fix.

The Eagles, 9ers, and Lions have all been top tier NFC teams and they have done it because of their run game while having QBs that are on Dak’s level.

The draft has some incredible RBs all throughout.

I like Jeanty, Henderson, Carson, and Humphrey in that order for Dallas.

We need so many pieces on both sides of the ball but a strong run game could hide a lot of our future problems and there will be many.

Although the team would still be utimately left with the same extremely playoff challenged QB, at least the offense could finally return back to some semblance of balance and not be so predictable.

BUT if the same HC, OC and oline coach return...
I wouldn't expect too much improvement even with a top tier RB addition.
That's how clueless those 3 stooges are with regards to implementing a competent 2025 style run game.

The run game would make us a better team so that’s an improvement but it still doesn’t remove the elephant in the room. There is no current QB on the roster who will ever win a SB or make a run in the playoffs. Draft a freakin QB somewhere in rounds 2-4. You gotta try!

Clueless are unable to see all wins and flat just give up. Seven starters on the sidelines and a top running back would help a lot.

The Cowboys will run but if it's not benefiting us then we become pass happy

Catch, do you believe that Dak has the potential to ever be even slightly relevant again?
I'm not being a wise guy, I just want your respected opinion.

Lets get a Lamar Jackson!!!

How many SB wins do the Ravens have with him?

How about Josh Allen too?

How about we trade the whole roster?

Dak’s solid. I think he’ll continue to be solid and overpaid.

We have too many holes to be drafting a QB and we are stuck with Dak anyways.

You have an owner that wouldn’t let Pollard play over a washed Zeke.

Agree on anything you say about our wannabe GM.

At some point we have to start addressing the QB position. How many years of ignoring the most important position on the field is acceptable to you? We need QB competition!

Do you have a suggestion? A name? It sounds easy enough, but there has to be that guy.

There are 2-3 I’d take flyers on. Some higher picks than others. I really like the McCord kid out of Syracuse. There are several other with flaws that may be corrected at the next level. I could be wrong but some team is gonna a waste a very high pick on the Sanders kid.
