I am not sure we should totally blame Jerry for zeke. Except as the ultimate authority. YEs the contract was big...but at the time Zeke was a 2-time rushing champion...SHOULD HAVE BEEN THREE he got robbed. Great protection and outlet for Dak. The future was being built.

Then Moore let the run game go straight down the toilet. And he let zeke be relegated to blocking FB. What a sham and shame!

So now it is what it is...we probably do have to let zeke test the market, see what he's worth. I;d like to see him go to another team that will play him and stop the incessant beeching here about him. Let the self proclaimed expert GMs beech about the next thing please!
Few things…..


I’m not mad they signed Zeke. I understood why. But the blueprint is out on how to build a contender and paying a RB ain’t it….and not drafting one top 5. But I get it.

Issue isn’t Moore it’s the offensive got worse and it’s not very good. Hasn’t been for some time. But people will show their rankings which say they are the best even though the rankings are skewed by how good Martin and Tyron are.

Disagree. Gallup is known for making crazy sideline catches. Wilson was known to take a routine play and take it to the house.

None of these guys benefited from dak. Dak doesn’t throw guys open like romo could. Doesn’t have the anticipation and quick release
Throwing guys open is the definition of making guys better? Stop it lol…..

Gallup wasn’t known for anything. He was a 3rd round pick…had Cooper Rush been his quarterback what would his game be like?

The FO is cheating the Cowboys fans out of 20 million in talent .
There should be a new rule in the NFL that 100% of a team's salary cap must be used every season.
I thought there was a rule for that honestly….I thought you get penalized if you don’t use all your cap smh….

I've heard from multiple people in Dallas radio that Jori is hands down the best Dak insider on the beat. Her and Dak have a good working relationship and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if this Intel came from someone in his camp.

I'm sure she heard it from somewhere.

She is one of Dak's reporters and doesn't hide it well.
Either way, you cut the mustard do or die time for #4 if he wants a 3rd contract.
MEDIOCRITY vs playoff teams is simply not enough for real Cowboy fans..........or Jerry at this point.

The problem with that is Zeke elevates Dak. I wouldn't be counting on Zeke being released.
Count on it as the bus is loading up with the old and bringing in the new for the next 2 seasons!

And it won't mean a thing if the offense tires them out with constant 3 and out's. This has been the main thing with the Dak / Moore offense - they start out slow then have to play catch up in most games. This is where all the stats and this fake #1 offense the Dak homies chirp about comes into play.
12 possessions vs the Chiefs and 9 pts......this is not Franchise QB football!

The defense gave up just shy of 500 total yds that game. (Dak isn't on the defense)

Now, you're either gonna call that fact an excuse (which it isn't) or not answer... so what's it gonna be?

He elevated Gallup and Wilson…like what else do they want? They keep using his salary as a excuse maybe they need a new cap guy but at the same they have 20 million right now and are holding on to it.
The question is, what was holding Dallas back the 20 plus years prior to Daks arrival?

The defense can't play offense and I don't care if it was 1000 Yards they still held them to 19 pts in their house.
Here you go man as I have a feeling you will need a new excuse file cabinet for the upcoming season!

Totally irrelevant as blaming Jerry is a constant factor.
Can Dak beat playoff-bound teams....(1-13 excluding the Eagles) now how is that Jerry's fault???
Do you want an 80 year old man to go out on the field and score some TD?
Please enough of the excuses inepto Prescott can only excel against DOG TEAMS!!!

Oops wrong there he is putting the hurt on the opposing teams ........go Jerry!!:muttley:

If the offense got worse....who bears responsibility? I get injuries. But things like penalties and play calling....well that is coaching. From Moore right on up to Jones.

Not sure why you are protecting Moore...in charge of the offense that you say "got worse".

Excuses it is! So you think offense is the only thing that matters on a team?

Offense, defense, sp. teams, and coaching performance are all aspects of a win. Are they not? If not, please explain, because now you are downplaying every sports strategy in history of the world.

*I FULLY expect you not to truly answer this, because it will go against everything you've been saying. I just wanted to ask, so people know how backwards your football knowledge is.

Wouldn't be surprising......RB required to get yardage despite OL woes and blame for all missed blocks, poor techniques and efforts.
