Everyone pretty much stayed the same. Big losers for week 2 though were zeke and darian thompson.

Dak is the only position we have inside the top 10 yet he draws the most complaints of anyone on the team.

Some real football experts are on this board. Blame the QB for everything. It's easy, simple, and fun.

Can someone tell me the 25 RB's having a better season then Zeke. Thanks boys.

 

[Jarv]

The Aldon Smith grade is the only weird one, but I guess it makes sense when you separate pass rush versus everything else.

Yep, seeing that grade (Doesn't he lead the leauge in sacks?) makes one really consider the rest is probably wrong too. Zack Martin is just average, um okay.

 

[Swagger]

Elite. It doesn’t work and today’s NFL. If you’re not a complete team. You’re not going to win. Prescott is a winner it doesn’t have a winning coach or team behind him.

But there are elite players within every position.

E.g. Is Aaron Donald a JAG or is he an elite defensive tackle?

My point isn't whether Prescott is good or average etc but that he isn't elite! So people now regard Prescott on the same level as Wilson, Rodgers and Mahomes!?

Yep, seeing that grade (Doesn't he lead the leauge in sacks?) makes one really consider the rest is probably wrong too. Zack Martin is just average, um okay.

Haha think of it like this...His pass rushing they say is 13th best this season. So that means the guy with the most sacks in the entire league has 12 guys ahead of him that are better at getting.... get this.... SACKS!!!...

this team is not nearly as talented as most believe or have been led to believe

Pressures and win rate also come into account. If the qb gets rid of the ball in 2 seconds but you win on your pass rush it's still a positive. So many simpletons on this board

 

[USArmyVet]

Football experts confirming what we already know. Dak is elite. And defense is booty

meanwhile armchair QBs on here type essays on here thinking he sucks. Worst part is they aren’t even getting paid

1-2 Dallas record is the only stat worth noting

 

[Sydla]

Woods has played pretty well except for that one blown coverage

He's not been the 6th best S though. And I like Woods and am perfectly OK with him being on this team.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Aldon smith doesn't have the best run grade but he has an abysmal coverage grade.

True but he's getting pressure and sacks ......

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Aldon smith doesn't have the best run grade but he has an abysmal coverage grade.

Yeah I think people see the pass rush with Aldon and think he's been flawless....I expect this grade from him but he's still the least of my concerns. Maybe his grades would be better if he had better play from his teammates.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Xavier Woods grade is rather impressive. Relatively surprised. I wonder how does he grade out with the team?

 

[TheCoolFan]

Connor Williams

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Zack Martin has not had the best season but his grade is getting better by the week. And just because you have sacks doesn't mean it will make up for other aspects of your game.

 

[JJHLH1]

PFF confirms what we already knew.

Dak is great.

Martin is OK.

The rest of the team pretty much sucks.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

True but he's getting pressure and sacks ......

How is he doing in coverage and how is he doing against the run game? Genuinely asking because I'm sure that probably dinged his grade some.

 

[Hennessy_King]

He's not been the 6th best S though. And I like Woods and am perfectly OK with him being on this team.

who have you watched every snap of on the all 22 that is better than him?

Elite. It doesn’t work and today’s NFL. If you’re not a complete team. You’re not going to win. Prescott is a winner it doesn’t have a winning coach or team behind him.

Rogers is throwing to a dude named Lazard and Martin Vantes Scantling something or another and still getting it done. Cowboys had to trade their 1st for a receiver mid season to make Dak look like a serviceable QB.

No matter their names his wrs are running wide open down the field.
