Its ok to admit that Dak had a horrible game. He did.

Its ok to admit this FO failed yet again. They did.

Its ok to also blame KM. He sucked yesterday and that game plan made 0 sense.

Dak was horrible.

The FO wasn't perfect but they did put a team on the field that went toe to toe with the 49ers on the road.

KM....as I have been saying....I have seen enough. I am ready to see what McCarthy (or his delegate running his O) can do. It is a proven super bowl winning offense.

That will be restructured, whether anyone likes it or not.

We can do whatever we want but will they?

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.

As they should

We were spanking Hurts and the Eagles until Howie did what a front office is supposed to do, which is load up on talent and now Hurts looks like an MVP

Meanwhile our office was letting a ton of our talent walk for no compensation and we took the budget approach YET AGAIN in free agency and it showed up in the playoffs. The fact that an old Ty Hilton came in and become our second best receiver showcases a huge issue.

Dak sucked, but one of the reasons he threw so many interceptions after having a career of being so careful is that nobody other than Ceedee can regularly get separation.

If you want to win in this league, you have to load up on talent

Just bringing in Quinn completely revitalized the offense. I want to see what our offense would look like if we brought in an OC who actually has experience in this league and isn't training on the job like Moore. Kellen isn't 'bad' per se, but when he comes up against the league's best defenses, he simply doesn't have the experience.

I have not changed my mind since last offseason. The Cowboys should build this defense until it is elite. They are not that far off. Then they should build the offense around a running game. I don't think they need Zeke or Pollard because they can get RBs to replace them in the middle rounds. I can see them signing Pollard back to a 1 year deal since he will be coming off an injury.

Once they have the defense and running game they can ditch Dak when his contract is up and sign a cheaper game managing QB with half a brain. The 49ers are going to the NFCC game with a rookie 7th round draft pick. The Eagles have Hurts and an all world team around him. This is the formula in the salary CAP era. Paying a QB $50 million against the CAP only works if the QB is elite.

And I know we have all heard it before, but signing Dak to a $40 million contract was a massive mistake. He was never that good. He will never be that good. In fact, Dak's split personality is unpredictable and makes him a liability to any team hoping to take the next step in the playoffs. Dak belongs on a team like the Falcons or Texans where he can get them to the playoffs by winning a few regular season games. If I was Jerry, I would be sending out feelers to the Jets, Texans and Falcons to see if there would be any interest in taking on Dak and his contract. One of those teams doesn't have to eat his bonus money so they can convert his $31 million salary into bonus and reduce his CAP impact. Dallas would take a $9 million CAP hit in 2023 but would shave $52 million off their CAP in 2024. Next year might be a down year for Dallas but a high draft pick in 2024, money for free agents that year, and money to sign their own free agents, they could be back in the running in a year or two.

I think Dak is regressing every year. Now is the time to trade him while he still have some value. If he regresses further in 2023, the Cowboys will get nothing for him. If they have to get a new QB they will need draft picks to swing something.

There was enough from Dak last night that have zero to do with who his weapons were. Was it the lack of weapons that had him force a ball into double coverage before the end of the half? Nope. That was all on him and he stared down the WR (I believe it was Lamb).

Was it lack of weapons that forced him to make another bad throw on the first interception? That was another forced throw.

Was it lack of talent on offense that forced him to stare down another WR and almost give up an easy pick 6? Luckily Greenlaw had stone for hands.

Was it lack of weapons that caused him to totally miss Ty Hilton for a TD? Or make a poor throw to Lamb where a better throw may have allowed him to score? Or throw a ball 4 yards behind Gallup late when Gallup was breaking wide open?

I figured it would only take 24 hours for the Dak homers to start shifting blame from Dak and putting it on the WRs and Moore. Moore wasn't great. The skill talent wasn't perfect. But Dak was terrible and the biggest problem and did things that had little to do with who the OC was or who is WR was.

Not shifting blame. He played bad but, as usual, it isn't all his fault.

We had no running game....AGAIN.

The defense, for as well as they played, can't let them drive 91 yards for a td. Refs had a lot to do with it but championship defenses don't do that.

There is a list of other issues but everyone only wants to talk about Dak.

I hate to defend Moore but he wasn't the problem last night. Dak was. He probably should have 4 balls picked off yesterday.

Keep Quinn...no doubt.

This is why I want to see what McCarthy can do...experienced NFL play-caller vs a guy with less NFL experience than Dak.

On the TD drive, that was great play calling.

I never got that feeling again in that game.

It's easy to do that when your QB has a miniscule cap hit like Hurts has. When your QB accounts for a significant chunk of the cap, the expectation is that QB has to make players around him better. There is an expectation when a player takes up a big chunk of the cap, that he has to produce at a level in line with that cap hit. Does Dak do that?

I think Schultz cost himself a lot of money with that sloppy effort on the final drive. He should know that rule about the clock and have fought to get upfield. Then he makes a lazy wide open catch and fails to get his feet in bounds. Granted we probably lose anyway, but that shows you he is a dumb player and we got too many of those already. Jimmy Johnson didn't tolerate those kinds of mistakes.

I am actually on board with sending Moore packing. Not because I think he stinks but because I think Dak needs a fresh voice in his head.

That being said, Moore had nothing to do with some of the really dumb decisions Dak made last night, some of the really bad throws he made. It wasn't Moore that forced Dak to literally stare down Lamb and then try to force a pass into double coverage. That's all on Dak.

 

[Pass2Run]

They need to get a defensive tackle and a new stud RB.

 

[stinkface]

Let's see. Jerry says we really have to hit on our draft picks. He then says we will be active in free agency. Then Stophen comes in and says we have a cap issue and have to just sign our guys. When all is said and done, we don't do diddly.

Because at the end of the day, your highest paid player, the guy you paid all that money to show up in moments like that, crapped the bed. He was by far the single biggest factor in the loss. The defense held a team to less than 20 points. They did their job, 91 yard TD drive or not. They showed up. They played their ***** off. They bailed Dak out a few times.

Dak gets the heat today because he played the worst amongst the guys on that sideline last night and he's paid to be the guy to elevate the team.

Imagine if we had traded a 2nd for roquan smith and then kept cooper. Thats what an aggressive team would of done and they even had the money/picks for another solid guy or 2

Dak does need a new voice in his head, can't have a guy with less knowledge and game experience calling plays from an antiquated offense taken from a couple of other losers.

Let's see if anyone takes Moore since he is such a talent. I hope they do...but somehow i think he will come back.

I remember last year when you and every other person was screaming for Dak to force it to our #1...lol

Quickly we forget.

 

[lukin2006]

Solidify the offensive line, get a true number 2 receiver, dump #21 and #86 and get an OC that has a modern playbook…

 

[charron]

Lamb is good after the catch. It was one of his strengths coming out of college. To say he can't turn a 3 yard pass into a long play is just inaccurate.

The lack of YAC is tied to the fact that yes, outside of Lamb, we don't have much. But also the QB simply isn't consistent/accurate enough to get guys into a situation where they can make plays with the ball in their hands.

Where does CD rank in yac? He's not getting much yac and I know a big part is the QB and OC. So looking it up just now CD is ranked 18th in total yards after the catch which is better than I thought he'd be.
