Come on now
Lamb, Cook, and Ferguson would all start
and several lineman

I mean I'd take Ferg over Musgrave but he was a damn good tight end in college and could end up being better than Ferg. But I'll currently say Ferg > Musgrave.

Cook is not starting over Reed and Watson. No way.

So Aaron Jones > Pollard.
Reed > Cooks
Watson > Cooks


I'd take the Lions weapons over ours.
I'd take 49ers weapons over ours.
I'd take Buccaneers weapons over ours.

Hell even look at the Falcons....their core is Drake London, Pitts and Bijan Robinson lol.

IT seems like when they have a star on the helmet we just overrate and think no one else has talent.

Think we finished slightly ahead of middle of the pack so not sure why people think we had "no" run game. Even with the atrocious run blocking.

We also have lamb, Cooks, and ferg. Of course we going to be pass happy

You have a weird definition of "hating."
Hating is when someone like you whos majority of posts are negative. Vast majority. This was just another example. You said before you were never negative. So here it is

Dallas has an average run game by all measures. No awful, not great.

People keep saying we have no run game.
Well, we have a better run game than half the league, we would just like it to better than it is.
Don’t care what the stats say, the Cowboys running game is subpar.

I don't need any metrics put together to know that Dakota has done more with less. That's why I stated affirmatively in the "is dak the best qb in the NFC " thread .

Having said that we better pray like hell that Stafford wins and can eventually knock out the niners.

Doing more with less has its limitations in the playoffs....as we all know good and well

Yeah Pollard and Rico are on their way to Canton….ill give you Lamb he at else looks to be on his way.
Yeah, it's not like he doesn't have 3 all-pro lineman blocking for him...

I'll give Dak CeeDee in that he was part of making CeeDee...which was not the case with Cooper or Dez. But the notion that Dak is doing it "all by himself"...well...poppycock. He has pretty good talent around him.

SB winning coach
Top Flight Scouting/Drafting Team
Always had a true #1 WR - that is NOT true of some of the other younger QBs like Fields, Trevor Lawrence, Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, Herbert, etc...
Always had at least 3 probowl lineman at one time - not true of most other teams
Tight End - the Cowboys spend a TON of draft capital on tight ends...giving Dak many options for a security blanket...eventually you'll hit on one (e.g. Schultz, Ferguson, Schoonmaker(?))

So again, Dak has been great this year. And he's been an above average QB. But the notion that he has "no help"....puuuuuullllleeeeaasseeeeeee......

I never said he didn’t have help. I just think it’s silly to pretend like Romo didn’t. We never lost in the playoffs due to lack of talent.

The running game ranks in the top half of the league.

It isn't great, but not terrible either.
Don’t care where they rank. It’s mostly been a bust this year. Last week they did show positive signs.

Ok, we agree...Romo did have help in the beginning and then end of his stint with us. In the middle...he was part of rebuilding the team...and those drafts were spotty...

More with less maybe but CeeDee is so wide open all the time!

He had an ugly time where he had Livings and Bernadeau on the line. I don’t judge him for those seasons. The middle yeah wasn’t as good as it could’ve been. But he had some good teams multiple years I don’t know where this notion is coming from. Even now with Dak I like our team but every team in these playoffs have talent as good or better.

Or that its a team game with 3 phases plus coaching decisions that determine outcomes.

Dak doesnt play every position on both sides of the ball or special teams. He doesnt call defensive plays.

Its convenient.

I've actually seen people here blame Dak for defensive penalties committed by our defense.

If intelligence was a prerequisite to watch the Cowboys play, a few posters on this board would miss alot of games.

Romo had HOFamers.

But wait. Didn’t he make average receivers like Mikes Austin, Laurent Robinson, Patrick, Sam Hurd, etc., look good or decent and earn a hefty paycheck?

Anyway. This idea that Dak has no running game, despite being a hyperbole, is a wee bit ignorant of the fact that a WCO relies on a short passing game to compensate for what it lacks in that area, unlike a pro-set one.
