Lack of weapons will limit playoff success!

[nightrain]

Let's just here and now deal with your statement. You are declaring my Dallas Cowboys losers!

In the playoffs, our Cowboys, a resounding YES!

In the playoffs, our Cowboys, a resounding YES!

Yup…..they have to prove otherwise.

Make us believers

 

[Mannix]

Three words are all you need to know...."Dak locks in".....he sees about 1/10th of the field ahead of him.

Except it is 2 years until Lamb becomes a "top paid receiver". Even if he gets his contract today the next 2 years are his rookie deal. 2 years from now, Cooper is in the last year of his deal. It was never Cooper or Lamb. It was Cooper or Gallup and they picked the latter and that looks it did not work out because Gallup has forgotten how to catch the ball, and sadly Cooks is not fairing much better.

They needed to resign Dak and resign a few others. Cooper was making 20 million per season

In the playoffs, our Cowboys, a resounding YES!

No sir, I wouldn't call that being a fan. I will never put the Cowboys in the level as Casey at the Bat...no matter the damn excuses offered to the contrary. I live or die by loyalty to the team...not just chest medals. They always earn this fan's respect. They stay in harm's way and not for my amusement and insults. They still play for us.

Not quite halfway and they already are accountable with us fans for this very season. Either root or at least follow them.

If that is all you see, get a dog or walking stick...

For the 90th time, the decision wasn't Gallup or Cooper. When they took Lamb in the 1st rd, they knew they couldn't keep two top paid receivers at the position. Lamb may get close to 30 million this offseason. Who would you rather have Cooper or Lamb?

That's actually isn't true. Lambs first high cap year won't be till 2026. Thats not why they didn't keep Cooper 2022 to 2024, it wasn't about them predicting a hypothetical deal 4 years from when he was traded two years of which past the point of him even being under contract.

Except it is 2 years until Lamb becomes a "top paid receiver". Even if he gets his contract today the next 2 years are his rookie deal. 2 years from now, Cooper is in the last year of his deal. It was never Cooper or Lamb. It was Cooper or Gallup and they picked the latter and that looks it did not work out because Gallup has forgotten how to catch the ball, and sadly Cooks is not fairing much better.

If I'm not mistaking the average combined annual value of Gallup deal and Cooks deal is actually on par if not higher than Cooper's base rate

Yeah I'm not buying "can't afford him cowboys are broke". Also not buying the oh you can't have two number ones narrative, especially when you knowingly have a quarterback that has a history of not elevating mid tier and below wideouts...... (If anything that is reason to have 2 high level receivers)

 

[Tussinman]

His point was they still spent that 20 million they just spent it on two receivers that everybody's complaining about.

Or you could have just kept the guy that you knew was really good and played really well with Lamb...... (This whole "oh they're poor and they don't have enough cap money" isn't why he's gone

 

[BHendri5]

lack of weapons? did you hit your head? we have an abundance of weapons, probably too much

 

[nobody]

It's not the amount of "weapons" that's the limit. It's the lack of intestinal fortitude of the entire team that's the limiting factor in the playoffs. They choke.

 

[KJJ]

Give me Amari Cooper and Cedric Wilson over Brandon Cooks, and Michael Gallup.

 

[Jarntt]

We had the guys too!

The playoffs show your weaknesses.


Lamb, Cooper and shultz were the 1,3 and 4 leaders in receiving yards this week.

Good chance were are gonna feel this when the playoffs come. Chiefs are in the same boat (limited weapons). Extending gallup over cooper was bananas.

Hoping the defense can carry and hoping for the best.

Go cowboys!

If only we had kept Noah Brown we’d be undefeated…

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Lack of weapons has never been the problem

After Harper, did Irvin ever have a true #2 to stop the double teams on him? Yet him and Aikman still got it done.

Lamb isn’t our only weapon. We have plenty of weapons. We just need to use them correctly.

And they easily could do that. Right now Cooks+Gallup cost more than Cooper when right now a 1-2-3 of Lamb-Cooper-Tolbert would be far better.

However, to double down, plenty of teams have one paid WR with a paid QB. That is not a serious threat.

I don't see them beating the bills, lions, seahawks, dolphins, eagles and commanders steal the last game of the season.

 

[lopey]

No moves at trade deadline even though we need a running back will cost us imo

You are forgetting players like Shultz who was tagged as well

Cooper also went to the media and complained about the coaching staff.

 

[GoCowboysGo]

the Cowboys have plenty of weapons, save for maybe running backs. What’s lacking is the trenches, and terrible luck with injuries.
