If he is playable and on the field, he produces. While playing, he nor could Romo or anyone turn it all around by being stacked 5 times a game for extended periods. He was MPV runner up when he could scramble a lot, and not limited by injuries.
His protection and the run blocking have to improve.
Another top receiver to push potentials to high production levels requires a producing 2nd receiver. No one on roster looks to step up but just in a member of group level. To push defense back, a cheaper drafted receiver is needed. Not a quiet the crowd noise free agent. Target a receiver with elite speed and plug him into the offense for five years.
Cost effect improves and a reliable game day solution that hits the carpet.
The running back roster is just weak. That talent level needs a true injection that will keep opponent linebackers on their heels. Offense wins games now and so does productive passing. Both offensive tackles have to pass block and this not a convience, further. Here and now or bring back Smith for an only immediate use. He would be a band aide last resort remedy.
No, it's not Dak. They have to be led and accountability still flows from the top. Real problems have to still be solved on the level of the problems. Not name calling and 30 year old calendars.
