What a waste of a professional football team. Jerry has to be an inside joke all around the NFL. This is why we're going on 30 years of failure folks...

If Jerry really wants a WR why not draft one?
This year's NFL draft is nicely stocked with WRs.

Why don't we try finding a quarterback whoakes his receivers better instead of a receiver who moakes the quarterback better. For the 97th time.

Just in case you haven’t noticed, even good QBs need competent WRs. We saw what happened to Rodgers and Brady this year with inconsistent receivers who couldn’t be trusted. I’m not comparing Dak to those QBs either. Dak had a poor year. Our WRs suck after Lamb. I’m not even a fan of Gallup because at his best, I never saw him as a possession receiver who moves the chains. I’d take Beasley in his prime over Gallup all day long.

Our receiving corps is among the worst in the league with Lamb being the only legit starter. That’s pathetic.
Our OL was 28th in pass protection for the season. That’s shockingly bad.

For me, that’s no excuse for Dak. He played great at times and poorly at times. He was inconsistent, and when your receivers are poor and your OL is poor at pass protection, you need your QB to protect the football and throw it away, not make bad decisions and throw INTs. Dak did not need to try and be Superman. He needed to take what was there and let us punt when it wasn’t there.

That doesn’t change the fact that teams don’t win with lousy receivers and lousy pass protection. Thinking a better QB would overcome bad protection and bad receivers is just as wrong as saying Dak’s play this season was good enough if he’d had another guy who could get open and pass protection. That may have been true in some years, but this year, Dak made way too many poor decisions. His number of intentional throw-always was ridiculously less than the top QBs this year when it should have been ridiculously higher.

Bottom line is Dallas needs better pass protection by its OL and better receivers playing with Ceedee to give Dak and any future QB a better chance to succeed.

Ok…but he’s still almost 31 with obviously declining skills, two major knee injuries, and a bigger past than his future. And all of those stats in 2021 were before his last knee surgery and while playing opposite Cooper Kupp who was drawing the majority of coverage attention.

He was declining workouts with teams this last Dec because he clearly was not ready to play. Maybe he’s ready to workout this spring. But again, I don’t see how his price tag is worth what we will receive. There is better talent at a much better price available.

We don't know the price tag.

He made less than 5M in 2021.

Maybe Kupp was better because of OBJ...
- Kupp's catch% and yards/catch jumped for that season after they acquired OBJ.

Agreed. If you watched the plane vid and his antics, he's nothing but a thug IMO. He has talent but he's not near what he was with the Gboys. His last hurrah with the Rams was ok but he'll do nothing for this team from a leadership/lockeroom perspective. We can find the same but younger talent with less baggage and cost. Tell him to pound sand.

OBJ was prepared to sign a massive contract knowing he wouldn't play at all in the post season. He was going to make Jerry look like a complete moron for wasting money and a roster spot on a guy who wasn't going to play.

And Jerry just can't quit him.
