What you read is speculation in most cases but lets review..
I knew green was a pig when they drafted him..Who missed that? Who evaluated the other lineman as being pro level?
DAK had weapons last year, what he didnt have was relief from backside pressure. The worst place a NFL qb can have pressure from is the left side..Thats why we pay left tackles..Further not only was green letting the dts penetrate on running downs a yard or 2 into the back field, our line was a sieve on passing downs.
ALTHOUGH i believe this is fixable, No matter who you are, most qbs would not be able to deal with that..Especially when your ocord has his head up his, and wont use a tight to chip em..
Having said this Dak lost his composure after the Atlanta game, Hell he was making some bad decisions before then..Collins struggled against some of the better dends first 4-5 games but settled after that..LETS just realize that the Nfl caught up to our reduced talent on offense, and their schemes were more successful last year..
I believe that changes this year. WHY?Coz Elliot, A model of check downs without a receiver whinning about the ball, and some ability to thwart defenses with the short pass, screens, bubbles yada..
Yes we were undertalented in our oline and dline...Both because of bad evaluation of talent on oline, and a ignorant philosophy on one techs..Both a symptom of a gm-personnel..
LAST Most qbs go thru that in year one. We were spoiled with a oline that had been together for several years..
I Submit we will have a advantage of personnel this year due to a lack of idea how we will use our receivers or tightends..Hell, witten exploited it as much as he could last year...Give Dak a presense in the middle that can catch...All this goes away..
Our tightends will be A pleasant surprise..Why? COZ they have to be...
Will it be enough to get in the playoffs? Idn..But the way people keep knee jerking we better or the whole thing will be down past our ears!
