That's great. Now how do we get back the money earmarked towards Romo and apply it towards a DE, LB and SS?
There is a disclaimer in the title you clearly ignored. With that said, to answer your question, the run game featuring Elliott/Morris with the threat of the Dak-keeper is going to make the defense look better than what they actually are. The Cowboys are going to have an unstoppable run-game which will open up an unstoppable pass-game with a premier #1 in Dez and the reliable route-running and hands of Witten and Beasley, teams are going to have a hard time keeping up...but I already know that you will have to see it to believe it.

I live in Giant country....my phone blew up yesterday when this news broke. Was surprised in that it appeared most were genuinely disappointied - I guess this turn of events, for the most part, is a hit to the league, level of competition, etc. In any event, I was doubly surprised my initial reaction being different this time and not writing the season off. I have a good feeling about Dak

I'm ready! It's too damn early not to be regardless!

It's not like Romo is out for the year either. Had we not got Dak however I would be down in the dumps!
You and I both.

Giant fans have noticed Dak also, and they would rather have Romo's lack of mobility in there.

That is a good watch.

It's not the same comparison and I don't expect the same results but Marino took his team to the SB as a rookie. I did not think we were a SB team this season with a healthy Romo so nothing has really changed and the offense should be a good one and the defense will be average.

Whatever we lose with Romo's experience, we gain with Dak's stronger arm and athleticism, The crucial part of his game will be reading the defenses and making the audibles. These DCs will throw some kinky stuff at him and try to play him as they used to do to Romo. Dak is surrounded by one of the best offensive teams in the league and they will help him, as will Romo.

oh yea....obviously they don't follow all things Cowboys like us so they don't know or haven't seen much on Dak. They will soon enough and they'll be surprised. No boasting or braging about Dak, simply confident in him and the cast around him.

"He doesn't have to be the everything."

well no, technically that's true but he definitely needs to be at least the 75% as the offense runs through the QB

Baptism by fire coming Daks way for sure. But if he can make them pay consistently enough they will have no choice but to ease off a bit. By that I mean blitzing the crap out of him.

I'm in CT, between The Giants and the Patriots. One of my coworkers (Giants fan) texted yesterday saying he's worried about playing against the Cowboys with Zak. I imagine after seeing him in preseason a lot of people are worried about what he might do with the offense he's got.

Yeah, this sounds really mean and heartless but I'm glad Moore broke his leg. We know he can do. I feel much better with Dak in there both to win and Dak has more potential so even if we lose Dak will be getting valuable experience. Our future is with Dak not Kellen Moore. Sorry Kellen, nothing personal.

Dak is more mobile at this stage for sure...agree.

But I was on their board the other day and they were excited because they have not beaten a Romo led Cowboy team in years (5 straight losses) and think now they have a shot.

Got impression they much prefer Romo be out.

Hoping big time that Dak leads us to a win and would not be all that surprised.

Yeah, I had an Eagles fan tell me the same thing. At least we got people taking again.
