Players you would not be ok parting ways with

[WillieBeamen]

So who do you blame for 2014? Or 2007? Or 2006? Can’t scapegoat Dak for those years.

The owner.

 

[Sydla]

Lamb's mom agrees.

Maybe I am Lamb's mom?

 

[5Stars]

which players on this team would you be absolutely against being traded/released/not re-signed?


For me its

Ceedee- Top 5 receiver that has gotten better every season. Doesnt miss games and is only 24

Micah- yea his podcasts are annoying and hes a “me” player. With that said, top-3 defender in the sport. His biggest problem is he plays on an overrated DL with no real DTs

Trevon Diggs- Playmaker. Hes very risk/reward but when hes not gambling/jumping routes, hes a top 5 player at his position

Tyler Smith- Ascending player. All pro in his second season. Has position flex as well.

Brandon Aubrey- Excellent Rookie Season

Tyron Smith- Unreliable but awesome when he does play.

Zack Martin- the best olineman of his generation. Hes getting up there in age but still dominant.

Players that Id be sad to see go, but wouldnt oppose it: Gilmore, Tank, Bland, Hooker, Dono, Anger, Pollard, Hankins, Cooks, Dorance

Too soon to group: Mazi, Overshown, Trey Lance, Tolbert, Ferg

Cant get off this team soon enough: Dak, Gallup, Gallimore, Kearse, LVE, Steal, Schoon, Sam Williams, Fowler, Osa, Nashon,

So, I guess you won't mind keeping Deuce, huh? lol

 

[Risen Star]

I'd trade anyone for the right offer.

 

[CCBoy]

If I was the GM, every player who would yield great draft picks in return would be available for trade every year, not just in or after a disappointing year.

In my opinion, you are either improving or falling behind.

I do not want a team of cogs and a few stars who care more about their contracts than the team.

I want a team of good players across the board who 1) play consistently week to week, 2) help the team be better (few blown assignments and penalties, make plays when it matters, etc.) , and 3) who actually play 17 games + playoffs every season (fluke accidents aside).

If only...fresh strong additions.

If so much of team results didn't rely upon gained experience when opponent options change and demand gained experience to survive momentum changes come the playoffs.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

See my op on Micah. Hes playing out of position with garabage next to him.

As far as diggs goes, im not letting him go off the strength that its hard to find good caliber CBs

It’s hard to find good caliber QBs yet you are willing to let Dak go lol….

But I get it. I like all these guys. I’d only get rid of them if I’m rebuilding. Realistically we won’t so I wouldn’t get rid of them.

Micah was a all pro…not an excuse to not perform at a high level against good competition.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

The owner.

Just not the owner now?

 

[Sydla]

So he’s All Pro if Tribusky or Desmond Ridder is throwing him the football?

Allen Robinson caught 95 balls for 1150 yards in 2019 with Trubisky as his QB. So yeah, it's possible that Lamb could have put up big numbers with Trubisky as QB.

The point here isn't to say Dak is Trubisky. It's to point out that Lamb is that good that I suspect he could be dominant with a lot of QBs. So crediting Dak for his All Pro status/stats this year is peculiar but expected from the Dak homers.

 

[Sydla]

Just not the owner now?

He clearly also blames the owner now. But he's spreading that blame around to other parties as well.

 

[WillieBeamen]

It’s hard to find good caliber QBs yet you are willing to let Dak go lol….

Because ive seen him with:

3 playcallers
Several All pro/Pro Bowl Receivers
Elite running backs
HFA
Several All pro OL

And he still cant get it done. We lose w Dak so we might as well try something else

Now if in 4 more years Ceedee and Micah are no shows in the playoffs under different QBs/DCs, then id want them gone too

Man lol….so you’re comparing what Robinson did in 2019 to what Lamb did as arguably the best receiver in the game? Robinson didn’t even get a Pro Bowl nod let alone an all pro…..

You misunderstood what I said. I never said Dak made Lamb. That’s a tactic you guys do with Romo saying he made guys better.

What I’m saying is Lamb had a productive season and he didn’t throw the football to himself. I know you like to dismiss my opinion because I defend Dak from his harsh critics but don’t become victim of what you claim “Dak homers” are victim of. You can say Lamb is one of the best receivers in the game but benefits from not having trash like Tribusky or Ridder throwing him the ball.

Not other parties just one party in Dak lol.

You overate a lot of talent that’s form through here especially if you consider Linehan, Garrett and Moore to be offensive coordinators lol…I

I like your list I would Ferguson to your keeper list..

 

[JustChip]

I get your frustration with the team but you have a bunch of young all pros in their prime.

So you would trade them for draft compensation in hopes to draft another set of all pros?

Absolutely. I wouldn’t do a deal just to do a deal. It has to be a deal that betters the entire team. Give me 2 high 1sts for Parsons and I’m thinking long and hard. A Khalil Mack type deal. Same for Tyler Smith. Or Lamb.

It’s also about changing the culture. Again, no sacred cows. A player’s worth is tied to the success of the team. Barbara Bush told a story about little Georgie coming home from playing a baseball and bragging about his game accomplishments. She said that’s nice, but how did the TEAM do?

And, before someone makes the leap, it has ZERO to do with what they post on social media (unless it specifically criticizes the paying fans) or their family members.

 

[Sydla]

Lamb is a much better WR than Robinson.

So if Robinson could bust out a 1200 yard season from Trubisky, Lamb certainly could have put up big numbers and gotten all pro recognition. Again, the point here is to just point out that Lamb is one of the best WR talents in the NFL and likely could have been dominant with way more QBs than you apparently think.

I mean what was the point of even linking Dak to Lamb's All Pro season here? Was it an attempt to shade Lamb? Or was it, as I suspect, an attempt to prop up Dak's apparent importance?

Cee Dee
Diggs

The rest honestly are all aging or way overpaid . Micah disappered in so many crucual games , which makes me think he has forgot to work on his mechanics and his attitude is getting into his head. He is also too small for the type of players these days in the NFL. The cowboys are a small team and has been pushed around a lot.
This is how thin the talent is on this team .

 

[ClappingCarrot]

I'll be okay keeping Ferg, Lamb, Martin, T Smith, and the specialists.

It's really hard for me to sing any of the defensive players praises considering how many times they turned into pumpkins this year. DeMarcus Lawrence (who is close to my age) is still the leader of that unit, and that ain't it. Still waiting on the legend of Micah Parsons to show up in big games. He's kinda like Dak, just with more natural God-given talent. Nobody makes excuses for any other pass rushers in the league like they do Micah, salivating about "win rates" and other PFF nonsense.
