I suspect they will load up on offensive skill talent this offseason

[Silverz1972]

The dumbest move they made last offseason was trading away cooper.

 

[Stak78]

Gallup isn't even a #3 on a good team....I can't believe I'm about to say this, but he is less effective than Brown. There, I said it.

Gallup was running wide open for a sure touchdown if Dak makes the throw. Dak lost me on that throw. I no longer have faith in Dak’s ability to get the ball to the receivers. You can have four All-Pro wideouts and Dak will make them look bad.

 

[buddieluver]

How many times have they dedicated resources to helping Dak.....only to see the same result time and time again.

"Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results"....the definition of insanity.

What would you suggest he has a no trade contract.

 

[charron]

The difference in this game was no amari cooper to lean on. The front office should absolutely apologize for being so stupid. I do like the TY signing but it wasn't enough when things got tough. Moving cooper for a 5th round pick knowing Gallup is coming off knee surgery and the only free agent signing in the off season was washington is about the dumbest front office move ever made. Cost the boys a chance to goto the SB.

They will load up on offensive skill talent. Jerry and his son saw how ineffective Dak was at times so they know they have to give him a ton of weapons to hopefully improve his play and justify the massive contract/cap hit he has.

Schultz will probably be too expensive but I suspect Pollard is now a very realistic candidate to be back, not on a tag, but a regular contract given his injury. Lamb and Gallup are back for sure given Lamb is a stud and Gallup just got paid. But I suspect you could see them using a first or 2nd round pick on a WR in the draft. Maybe a TE if someone like Mayer falls to them.

Interesting offseason for sure. I think they could use more help on defense but Dak's issues last night likely means the Jones' are going to be hyperfocused on giving him enough weapons to help him become more consistent.

We wont do anything major.
We will add around the margins
and trot the same thing out next season.
rinse and repeat....

Understanding the limitations of Dak means we do need the correct offensive talents around him. We need to draft another RB, OT/OG. Dak's best year was when Zeke and OL were dominating. Everyone wants to pick a RB in the 4th thinking they'll find another Pollard/Barber...... I am not leaving it to chance. I would have no problem spending a 1st or 2nd rounder on a premier RB.

WRs are important but the problem is Dak IMO. He's not throwing to the right guy and not on time. His locked mostly on CeeDee, Schultz and maybe Brown. SF game was too "fast" for him. He was rushing through progression and rushing his throws. Yes, SF D line was good but still...... 2 INTs..... JJ was rolling his eyes in the studio.

 

[Dale]

The Niners loaded up on offensive talent because garrapolos base salary is 6million. How do the cowboys load up on fa offensive talent with Daks cap hit of 49 million?

Gonna have to be one helluva draft, lol

One way to load up on offensive talent around Dak would be investing in a new QB.

 

[kramskoi]

That's why I think they will definitely use a top pick on a WR. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me to see them go WR in the first and then come back with another WR later. They could also go TE early because I think Schultz will be too pricey.

This would be a huge mistake. Very rare that a WR can come in right out of college and significantly change an offense. They are better off trying to develop Tolbert while paying a WR on a short term deal that doesn't break the bank. I don't know who that is but their top pick should not be a WR...not with so many other pressing needs. They brought in Cooper and still Prescott couldn't close the deal when it mattered. A rookie WR is not likely to change that.

I agree that was a dumb move. BUT I don't think Cooper wins the game for us. 49er game was too "fast" for Dak. He was rushing through progressions and throwing too late. He the type of QB who needs to see the guy "open" before delivering the ball instead of "throwing" the guy open. Dak can get away facing "regular season defenses" but much harder in the playoffs.

We needed a dominating Running Game for Dak to succeed. Our chances went down the tube after Pollard went down.

1) 2023 cap is in terrible shape unless you plan on letting a lot of guys walk and pushing more money into future years. They have some players they can move on from to open up space, but Steele, LVE, Wilson, Pollard, Schultz, McGovern, Brown are all starters in walk years that you have to either sign or come up with a plan B. Some are easier to replace than other, but most on this list will get significant pay increases too.

2) I'm pretty happy with Sam WIlliams. I'm pretty happy with the Diggs pick. Even going back to the Connor WIlliams, Chido, Gregory type picks these are all very good players in this league. The Cowboys moved on and took the comp picks, but that doesnt mean they were busts. I have a hard time believing many teams have had more success over the last 10 years than the Cowboys in round 2.

3) So what do you want to change? Are you just moving on from the current FA group and strictly looking externally? I know I feel a lot better about this team with Wilson, Pollard, LVE, and Steele coming back.

Your definition of very good players is VERY LOW

 

[davey999]

The 4 teams remaining were all VERY aggressive in finding players via free agency and trade. It's not a coincidence.

 

[Doomsday]

Gallup isn't even a #3 on a good team....I can't believe I'm about to say this, but he is less effective than Brown. There, I said it.

And yet Ty Hilton got one target, which of course was a 15 yard reception. The reality is Brown should have been stealing snaps from Gallup yesterday, not Hilton. The desperately needed more production from the outside WRs, the Niners were taking away the middle of the field.

We might have squeaked by SF but we would get worked by whoever the AFC had if we had managed to win the Conference Championship. It is clear now that Dak is not a Mahoomes, etc that can really make a big difference when it matters. Burrows can as well.
But more than that is that Dak has definitely regressed; this year clearly so

I feel better about the defense than I did this time last year. They had a very good showing in the playoffs.

I think this team really needs a dominant OL to win. I think there best shot is go back to the 2014 formula

The Prescott-Moore combo needs to be dissolved with haste. We've seen enough. They have hit the wall with this combo at present. I can agree on RB/o-line. The thing is...sooner or later you meet a defense that stifles the run and then you are left with the same problems that the running game kept under wraps. An inconsistent quarterback.

A TOP OC would help as well; our 'Boy Genius' ain't

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Bijan Robinson from Texas. Stud back on a rookie contract will make it easier to swallow what we still owe Zeke

Actually with us at the 26th spot, I would have no problem with this at all or Gibbs.

 

[khiladi]

This is the problem with Dak. As I said when they benched Romo, the decision had far-reaching effects as it would waste a short window for a SB and they would have to rebuild again with another roster that would have to mask the QBs deficiencies. They basically thought they could win with a cheap QB and a guy the rest of the younger guys were “hip too”. The early success was in fact a major negative in that it created a delusion regarding the QB.

Now we are here constantly having to bail this QB out with. Unlike the franchise relying on Romo to carry this team with Garrett as HC in training and Jerry refused to make Jason relinquish play calling duties for years, this team had tailored every decision in baby-sitting Dak, who has peaked.

Even when ww were winning with Cooper Rush, his zealot defenders were pretending that Moore was doing something different with Rush and all they needed to do is plug in Dak with the same schemes and all the problems round magically go away.

Dak Prescott is the Jason Garrett project of QBs in training. and there is nothing that stands out for Dak that says, yes this is a guy I want to build me team around.

THEY HAD ONE OF, IF NOT, THE YOUNGEST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE DAK’S ROOKIE YEAR.

You are just compounding the problem throwing money and a high pick at a TB. Did we learn nothing from Zeke?

If you have to use a first round pick on a TB, then that tells you a crap ton about your QB.
