It looks like we suck. I've been avidly against tanking for a long as I can remember, but we're 3-5, and have looked pretty bad even with our record holding QB. Lamb is hurting, WR depth is rough, the OL is rough, and the run game is the worst I've seen in Dallas since Hambone...and it's probably worse than that. Our defense has been dinged up, but even before we lost all of our DE's they kinda sucked.
The formula to win with Rush or Lance is to run the ball early and often, and to play strong defense, creating a ball control advantage going our way. I just don't see how it's possible with the personnel in place, so the obvious goal should be to "fight" for the highest draft pick possible, while developing our young talent and prepping for next season.
A blue chip QB is preferred, if they're of the board. Otherwise I want Jeanty. Say what you want, I don't care. The league is shifting back towards the tried and true formula of ground based ball control and strong defense. Use a top 10 pick on Jeanty, and the ground game is set for 5-7 years minimum. Detroit went high with Gibbs, Atlanta drafted Bijan top 10, and both teams are legit threats in the NFC. The notion of the devalued RB position is dead. In the second, grab the absolute best DT available. This addresses the two biggest problems on this team. Sign a guard and WR in FA, fill out depth with mid range free agents, and go BPA through the draft, and we have a contender.
