This was the #1 pass defense and the #28 run defense in 2016.

And we're *****ing about Dak?

Good point but the offense needs to improve Dak hasn't been in last season form the offensive production has been poor and now I'm worried about our run defense.

We need to remember that the O-line e is obviously not as good as last year. Our secondary is also a garbage bin especially without Scandrick

My bigger concern is the huge cap numbers allocated to Crawford and Dez. If we had that money invested correctly on the D-Line and secondary, this team would be positioned much better for a run this season.

That said, I was fine with the Dez deal back in 2014 but we might need to cut loose in the next 2 years.

No...I mean going to Cabo instead of focusing on the upcoming game against the Giants. Ladies were more important to him than winning football games.
That's preposterous

Garrett said just last year that even though Valley Ranch was closed that week and players told to take a break, Romo somehow managed to sneak in and squeeze a day in of film study before taking a few days off to go to the beach with Witten and their girlfriends.
Meanwhile half the team is going to strip clubs in Dallas...lol.
That whole Cabo narrative was so silly. Just flat out dumb.

But this digresses from the thread.
And I'm with Dak anyway.

Hmmm.. Sounds like most of Romo's career.... I'm surprised Romo could get 2 playoffs wins.

As stated in another post, we may have the worst fans in the NFL, and certainly some of the least informed ones. This is a 8-8 league for most teams. We have 2 new starters on the OL and lack of talent on the D from the DL through the backfield.

The two new OL starters excuse is rich. These guys were supposed to be upgrades over who they replaced.

Well stated

I am seeing passes sail on Dak especially sideline throws. Dak is going up against teeth of better defensive teams in league. If he can figure this out he is likely elite QB and if he can't he is bus driver QB who will need to rely on very good running game & very good defense.

I'm worried about Dak's accuracy. He'll never be a great pure passer. He could be a solid game manager.

I do not see many writing him off but I sure see a lot of people taking offense at any criticism. Almost all of the critics are just concerned and being honest about it.
Tbf some of the flaws it said game were seen last year and dulyignored in the same fashion.

Tell us how worried you were last year after finishing with a 67% completion after the season. Or after the playoff game vs Green Bay.

I was very concerned in December. Dak slowed down quite a bit. I felt they should've gone with Romo. Dak had the jitters in the playoffs . The packers had the worse defense in the NFL and Dak's slow start ruined our season.

Then I guess you won't watch anymore CB games with Dak. SInce our season is and will always be ruined in the future. Why waste your time.

Dak will bounce back. Too much character, work ethic, and talent not to. Tough loss for sure-- but every great QB in NFL history has endured these kinds of losses.

Lot of football left to play. Just not gonna lose my mind over a non conference loss against a great D.

I brought it up time and time again and got dogpiled - I said this issues would pop up when Dak got up against strong defenses. It's easy to make passes when a player has a couple yards on a guy, when those windows get smaller, that's when Dak shows why he went in the 4th.

People underestimate how well our WRs played last year in terms of getting open. Mainly having to do with the run game - obviously Dak would have had a bit of a better game if our run game got going early - but that's not always going to happen. Some weeks it will be weak, it happens.

I still don't think he has enough zip consistently on his passes to be a great passer. I will stand by this - I would throw him on the trade block, see what we can get. There is a great QB draft class ahead with players who can make all the throws. Let's get our true franchise guy.

I can't see Dak being here in 3 years. I just don't see the progress.

I'm die hard. I support Dak but I just don't see him having enough arm talent. He has the attitude and mental toughness , good leadership but , he doesn't have good enough accuracy. I watch every game win or lose. I got flamed for saying we should've drafted another QB in last years draft. Now it's a must for insurance.
