Twitter: Helman: "To me, it looks like they’re setting Dak up to be a scapegoat."

[America's Cowboy]

That is a weird way to spin being 7th on a list of 8 because if you were going to add in the rest of the league, in terms of JUST weapons, you could say the Bengals, Raiders, Broncos, Chargers, Eagles, Commanders, Vikings, Buccs, and 49ers are all clearly better in terms of weapons going into this season. One could also point out that a few of the teams I missed have a better OLine or comparable weapons. Basically if you were to list every single team considered in serious Super Bowl contention (except for the Ravens and Packers) they would all have better pieces around their QB than the Cowboys do and both the Ravens and Packers have a VERY strong OLine.

A Dak classic pass.......



We're gonna need CD to have at least 50 of these......

Helman is such a tool

If this is a setup for failure, I hate to see what he would say about the 4 years from 2010-2013.

Cowboy fans are so spoiled regarding Oline play and investment.

We have THREE 1st round picks on our oline. Does any other franchise have that?
I have news for you, it's not going to always be like 2014-2020 around here.
Most teams never in 30 years have lines like those 7 years.

Doug Free
Nate Livings
Phil Costa
Mackenzie Bernadeau
Young Tyron Smith

vs

Tyron Smith
Tyler Smith
Tyler Biadasz
Zack Martin
Terrence Steele

This line is 10x better than that crappy line.

Hope it's true. Faster they get rid of this fraud the faster they can compete.

The last two times Jerry wanted to draft a QB in the first round the names were Johnny Manziel & Paxton Lynch.

If he tries again I suggest praying for divine intervention because he's not likely to make a good decision.

As the old saying in the early 70’s, as a kid and you were about to the get the belt or switch (before this time out crap), “no time for crying now”.

The lack of investment in the OL this off season has been head scratching for me.
As to the motives , I am not going to try a get into Jerry's head.

I would say a 1st round pick in a linemen is an investment they made. But agree there's probably more they could do particularly at swing tackle and center.

 

[reddyuta]

I can believe it,no reason to sit on such a big cap space.

I said it first concerning the Jones boys setting up Dak for failure this coming season.
Seems Mr.Helman agrees....

Gotta try something new, they tried gold-plating that offense and quickly hit the ceiling with diminishing returns. I will say that skimping in the trenches is never a good idea though.

Dak obsessed Troll. Seek help.

Ur the captain of the sinking Dak ship. I'm surprised u still post here. You took a long leave of absence after that 49er embarrassment. This season will probably be the nail in the coffin for u.

Diggs. Huge reason.

 

[kskboys]

Sounds like a stretch. However, w/ Jerry always looking to cover up his extreme ineptitude, guess it isn't out of the realm of possibility.

You obviously hope so.

Yes the 1st rounder was a great addition
We still are weak at center and swing tackle as you mentioned.
With Tyrone injured every season I am really concerned as we have no proven back up for him.
Really not much depth across the whole oline.

 

[DeaconMoss]

You obviously hope so.

It's very obvious to me what's happening. Jones boys know Dak took advantage of them. They know he ain't the guy. But he's good enough to sell tickets and easy to ride out of town when they can't surround him with an all pro roster. Micah is the face of this team and the Jones gang is preparing to move on from QB4.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

You obviously hope so.

It is what it is Captain Rockport as your boy doesn't have what it takes to lead the team to glory and at a 160 million price tag no less.
P.S. Will, you go down wearing your Captain's hat as Telly wants to know??

Then go root for the Eagles and spare us your constant everyday hate. We don’t need miserable people like you.

 

[john van brocklin]

we have a HOFer at RG. we have a probowler at LG, yes, he gets injured for a few games, but he is great when he plays. they drafted a LG first round. not any centers you really would want, unless we took linderbaum and forgo drafting a guard. Steele played most of last season and did as good as collins.

so where is the not investing? yeah yeah yeah, we need to upgrade the center. but....its not a problem most of the teams don't have....now, depth and swing tackle is a concern.

with that said, IMHO, Dak is a tier 2 QB (debate about where in that tier amongst yourself), so he does need some help.

the problem is more the OL coach, and OC....

Tyrone is great when he is on the field
Martin is solid.
Who else is proven?
Worse yet if any of the 5 get hurt who's on the bench?
We have 20mill available in cap space and there was nobody worth signing in free agency?

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Then go root for the Eagles and spare us your constant everyday hate. We don’t need miserable people like you.

It's the DALLAS COWBOYS, not the DAK BOYS........
The STAR above all.....including your man-crush!
