I am sick of fans, commentators, etc. saying we don’t have enough offensive weapons

[birdwells1]

This team has enough weapons and good coaches. Replace the QB with an above average, SMART QB and we make a serious run this year. Zeke’s gotta go, too!

Why does your starting running back have to go when he's one of the great weapons that this offense has? You're contradicting yourself.

List the rankings against the team we just played:

Offensive lines: San Fran has better
Defensive line: San Fran
Overall defense: San Fran
Running back: San Fran
Receivers: San Fran

We couldn't run the ball, Dak had 1/3 of our rushing yards. How many playoff games are won when a team doesn't get 100 yards and the QB has 1/3 of those yards. CD Lamb was the only receiver all year to get any kind of consistent separation. Playing San Fran, Dak's pocket was collapsing pretty quick most of the day.

I understand the QB is the face of the franchise and there has to be someone to blame, but think big picture. Dak isn't a great QB but he isnt trash either.

 

[G2]

Allen is better than Dak and is literally suffering from the exact same thing.

Every QB left in the final 4 has better weapons. No matter how bad you think our QB it’s not even debatable IMO.

Perfect example, which I have used myself. He had a terrible game. Same lack of run game, but they got hammered in the snow at home! That's significant.
Your point on weapons is 100%.

 

[birdwells1]

Name a team that played last week that had lesser weapons than we had? There's one and they didn't score any points and is at home like us.

The 49ers are just better, we need to get better.

We nearly had 2 thousand yard rushers. We have an all-pro WR. Solid line. Productive tight ends.

 

[birdwells1]

Lol I agree with original poster. When the qb holds out for more money and is now 20% of your cap this is how it goes.

You can’t have a good defense like we do and have an all star at every offensive position either.

That being said we have a good oline.. a good rb combo. A decent TE…. And number 1 wr. Some decent 2-3 type guys.

It’s not perfect but I’d say it’s def in the top 10 in the league in terms of overall ability. To say otherwise to me is insane

I'll challenged that, the cowboys are not in the top 10 in skill positions players in the NFL!

 

[Hook'em#11]

The owners and fans look blindly away from the real problem on offense.

Well, 2 problems. One is QB , the other is Oline

 

[unionjack8]

Part of the issue was this teams plan at WR2.
Gallup isn't even one year Removed from ACL surgery(Feb 22).

To expect him to be the player he was six months after surgery is both embarrassing and unfair on MG.

Who killed us in the 9ers? Dak, mostly. Not so much the 9ers' offense.

The 9ers offense killed us pretty good on 1 drive, we couldn't get a stop to save our life. Dak had 1/3 of our rushing total of 76 freaking yards and never had much of a pocket all day. Yes! Dak killed us in spite of our offensive line giving him plenty of time and we ran the ball so well, i don't understand how we lost at all!! Has to be the QB!!

 

[blueblood70]

We had the top scoring offense in the NFL over the last 12 games of the season. We just have a QB that is way to inconsistent. You never know which Dak will show up! He played great vs a pretty good TB defense that plays zone, but then played terrible vs a really good SF defense that plays zone.
Just because Dak didn’t see the open receivers, there were guys open!! Also instead of running Zek exclusively after Pollard went down, we should have given Davis his chance. He is way faster and quicker AND and an excellent receiver.

We have weapons Moore and Dak did not use them effectively vs the friggin Whiners!!!!

No one is saying we had no weapons or truly need more weapons, WE NEED those weapons top show up on game day. We need that OC to call more then 16 run pays and the OLINE being the biggest issue IN the payoff games against better DL/Defense's. the are being out physicaled, pushed back or stood up, beat with little help on 4-5 man DL,

I'M sick of fans lie you who like to point ouit 5 poor throws or misses without the rest of the game being discussed..lmao.. right, you all on your side are so much smarter or less blind huh?? IMHO The offensive line and MOORE are the biggest issue we have had in playoff losses, no run game, dirty pockets, pressure given up more than a clean pocket, play calls lack of run game make offense one dimensional and payers like Glalup and schultz not paying smart or making an effort in key moments.. daks not perfect nor elite..

BUT MY long response,

dont read, if you dont like it ...


The difference, Prescotts done it in six seasons. So he’s been to the playoffs About half his years that he’s actually started and finished the season healthy, The fact that we are making the playoffs more often is a plus, not a negative.

Going back to back double digit winning seasons back to back playoffs has not been done since the mid-90s
So let’s keep some perspective here and stop acting like a quarterback sucks when he does not.
he had a bad game is so did the rest of our offense.

I mean I’m not sure what you guys are trying to accomplish here bashing Prescott all the time. top 10 quarterbacks do not grow on trees, and we don’t use the word stuck or suck to describe a qb of Daks talent, even if hes not eilte.

People are stuck with players are the ones that they’ve tried for a decades to replace their quarterback, and I cannot it’s very difficult to find a franchise quarterback, you know a full-time starting quarterback who wins games
Prescott has consistently had our offense in the top five since he’s been here and healthy and had any sort of weapons
I’m seriously trying to figure out what the media, fans would like to do if you think they just gonna run out of the first quarterback they get is going to replace Prescott, all of a sudden we’re gonna be better then back to back 12 and seasons, back-to-back playoff berths, consistently challenging for the division. you finding that qb 1st try? 2nd? 6 years from now to get back here?

Seriously, that’s all you see is a playoff failure, but did you see the of. line was part of that? Did you not see that most of the receivers and tight ends were making mistakes? Michael Gallup gets pushed out of the way for that first interception he made no effort to go back there and try to break that up.
Did you not see there was no run game whatsoever??


I mean at the o-line is not opening holes for the run game, the pockets dirty, and your skill players didn’t show up either.
How exactly are you blaming that all on Prescott because he had two interceptions ??

this was not all on Prescott ,Prescott not the one losing these playoff games on his own.

Yes it was a bad game for him, but how about you give him the rest of the offense showing up with him??

• last year was 14 penalties ,no run game ,=poor OL play -lost by 6
• 2018 Rams game no run game plus our D gave up 250yards and owned TOP that 2nd qtr lost by 8
• we lost by 7 again no run game poor OL play, other factors.
• these are one score losses that other issues including Prescott add up to a loss that any number of changes in those games from other players, coaches, or dak could have changed that to a win.
• We are not physical on the of-line in the big games against the better defenses and then you add in the receivers are not getting open outside CeeDee Lamb. He got Shultz making mistakes on that last drive!
• 
  I mean come on people ,wake up Prescott didn’t come in and lose that game by himself. . Yes our offense lost the game. Our entire offense basically lost the game and our offensive coordinator. I mean 16 run plays that’s it??
  He doesn’t even bring in Malik Davis. I mean come on people, wake up stop complaining you have a top 10 quarterback that’s failing in the playoffs.
  I get we want another Super Bowl. I get we want to go further. I’m frustrated as well, but it’s not the quarterback these games all have their own story.

that what some mean, more weapons , not add in a ton of new talent, how about add talent or utilize what we have but more importantly have them show up against the better teams we play. Razor thin losses show ists been more then dak that lead to 1 score losses. that OL and all these alleged weapons have all been reasonable one play here or there for the losses.

Love the sarcasm and totally agree. the truth lays somewhere between both sides of this debate.

 

[CTcowboy203]

You can be tired of it all you want but 3 things are true 1) dak isn’t going anywhere 2) we do need more playmakers 3) dak needs to be better.

Dak’s issue is consistency , decision making and accuracy. Dak is gonna be the quarterback here but if you think Dallas has anywhere near the same amount of weapons as Cincinnati, Philly, San Fran you are just kidding yourself. Sure, dak needs to play better and yeah we have sexy stats but they are hollow against elite teams and coaches.

If daks gonna be our quarterback you need to give this guy so many weapons that almost anyone can have success. Philly gave hurts so many weapons this year and said listen if this guy can’t get it down with these guys then he’s not our franchise quarterback. Yes a scheme change will also help too and dak doesn’t get a pass but these stats people run out to prove we have enough is a misnomer imo.

True, Dak didn't throw any interceptions, and hit all the open receivers in stride. He really took full advantage of their secondary, without panicking at all.

Dak did throw interceptions, he didn't play well. i'm not disagreeing with you, but so did our offensive line, our defense had 1 drive where they played terrible as well. We had 1 receiver all year that could get any separation in Lamb.

It is a team effort, Dak is part of that, but so are others.

I agree, others need to step up too. But Dak is the one player in a position to determine the tenor of the game. If he'd played well, we would have won. I don't think you can say that about any other player...Well, possibly Diggs too.

 

[Miller]

Agree! Yeah maybe we lacked some but you had a second team All Pro WR who was open against SF. You, until injury, have a Pro Bowl RB. You had a TE many think is a top tier WR. Your #2 WR was a chain mover. They had enough. Just couldn’t use them

 

[birdwells1]

Wrong! No way wrong!!

The 2 best rosters are in the NFCCG, SF/Philly have betters RBs, TEs, WRs, Oline and better coaching than the Cowboys. Last weekend the both had better qb play.

not surprisingly, put either of those QBs with a bad team, and they become bad quarterbacks.

 

[Kevinicus]

Our WRs average target separation per route run was outside the top 30.

Where is this stat from? Thanks.
