Some thinking to avoid

Great post!

Quoted for dead serious truth!!!

Quoted to point out morons

Those are all good points. I keep thinking that Dez had begun to rub some people the wrong way over time. I think he was overall well liked by his teammates. But if you are vocal and abrasive, plus mediocre in performance and have a history of requiring the team to monitor your behavior, people tend to get tired of the antics. Don't know for sure but maybe that played in some too.

In the end the FO didn’t hold any value for Dez. And why they didn’t even attempt to offer him less.

I’m not sure a quality down field reciever with Dak Attack is needed. Best quote I saw yesterday” we don’t need a reciever who runs routes deeper than 10 yards” lol

Dez is still good. We just suck at throwing the ball and scheming guys open.


I’m fine if they release Dez by acknowledging that.


But don’t release Dez and then turn around and draft a guy that will disappear from games and pigeon holed to a few routes a game.


Oline, and TE is where you should draft if you want to help this offense.


Don’t even think about WR until round 3.

....the infamous hamstring injury will attach to The Boys new #1 WR.......book it.

We need to fix DAK and his throwing mechanics.his footwork....his ability to read the receivers and patterns and make ON TIME throws to the correct receiver. Our brass needs to do their homework on Dak. Find our what throws are his strengths......work diligently to get these particular throws into his game plan. .

I don’t disagree that Dak needs to improve footwork and mechanics. But that can all be fixed but if our coaches still show that once again they are incapable of making mid-game, mid-week or mid-season adjustments, we are headed to another non-playoff year.

The NFL is becoming less and less a “players league” where individual players totally dictate your success. The NFL now is much more a coaches/front office league where the ability to put together a jigsaw puzzle of players that can be coached up to perform well as a team within the scheme and salary cap is bigger than just drafting a bunch of talented players. Players in the NFL salary cap era don’t last as long as they used to because teams don’t need them in the same way they did 20 years ago.

This is exactly why Dallas hasn’t won a second round playoff game in two decades plus. Jerry does not value the importance of a strong, strategic HC, nor does he respect the importance of having someone around him in the FO him who has the power to say no. He has to be talked into doing things because he has no equal.

Jerry is NOT the only thing that holds us back. But he is the biggest thing that keeps us mediocre. The way he runs this team now requires that we have superior talent at each position because we don’t have great coaching.

IM pretty sure the FO knows all this , they dnt read this or hear fans complaining that influences their decisions.. I doubt they take a WR in the 1st..theyve showed over the last 5 years to make the best decision with top draft picks and i believe it will be Defense.. there are a good group of WRs that should be avaible in 2nd and 3rd rounds.. 2nd round most of thse guys will be there Chark, DJ Moore, Kirk, miller and Sutton..any of those will be good enough to learn on the job maybe ease their way in with Hurns, Switzer, Thompson, Bease and Twill bridging the gap until they are up to speed..can we not wait until after the draft to continue this onslaught of Hyperbole and speculation.. lets react to facts..AFTER THE DRAFT

I’m not sure we need superior talent at each position but we defintely need elite talent at the key positions .

I’m not sure why we expect more without an elite defense and or QB?

And that’s on the GM not the coaching unless they’re assembling all the talent .

No doubt better game day coaching would help but without more than an elite OL and RB we aren’t ever going far in playoffs regardless.
