I appreciate the logical approach you have taken. My only concern is that Dallas has a rather poor history of drafting defensive players so that would make me nervous. Besides, with a proven commodity in Zeke and what should be an improved OL provided Smith and Collins come back healthy I personally would rather go with the proven veteran defense and a sound rushing attack with the threats of a passing attack (especially with the Dallas WR resources).
Obviously Dak has shown the ability to sling the rock but you have to be just a little concerned about the injury recovery as it relates to committing big money.
Regardless, it is a sound debate and thanks for the approach.
Thank you, I also too have reservations and concerns about the drafting part. I go back and forth if we pay big money for a QB and try and draft rookies. Then we have to hit on every pick or at least have a good ratio of good picks to busts. If we draft a QB and he's a bust then we're really in trouble. A rookie QB could get us to 8-8 with solid RB, WR, and defensive support. But so could Dak. So it comes down to is it better to invest in defense or offense? Each investment runs a risk as far as injuries, reps, etc.
So this whole discussion/debate comes down to can the FO, coaches and scouts adequately evaluate the talent on this team, the talent they draft and the talent they sign in FA?
Oh and BTW I equally appreciate your civil and friendly approach to discussing this matter. Go Cowboys!!!
