with the same receiving group-- minus B. Cooks

Then you and I have been saying exactly the same thing. Dak (or almost any passing QB) can't execute at a high level without an effective run game. Play action is mostly ineffective when the opposing D isn't afraid of the run, and PA is a passing QBs best friend. Lamar is a great example of limiting an opposing team's coverage options. Not only does he have Superman (who should be on our team) toting the rock, but he's an A+ runner himself. What's a defense supposed to do? Play action to Henry sucks LBs up every time, then there's a spy that's out of any coverage duties, so Lamar has receivers flying open everywhere. That'll make any QBs passing stats look good if he has any accuracy at all.All I am saying is think your reading way too much into my joke. I never said my feelings about Dak I was commenting about drafting. I am not a Dak hater. I think a lot of his issues are due to Mccarthy trying to play him like A Rog. He isn't that type of QB who can take over a game. He needs a running game defenses fear to be successful. His best plays have always come from playaction. Why I am hopeful about direction Shotty seems to be taking us which is exactly this. A strong running game. I tell all my non Cowboys fan who tell me all the time that Dak sucks that if regular season Dak came to play in the playoffs that people might think differently of him. My Steelers friend said he would rather have Mason Rudolph then Dak lol. You never have to worry about Dak's work ethic and I am sure that he knows if he wins the big one his mantra will instantly change. I am a Cowboys fan thru and thru so I would never root against our players. I understand why some do not like him but hate I do not understand. You should always hate opposing players never your own.I meant no offense I was just playing around.
I don't disagree with most of what you've said, though I think 'injury prone' may be a little premature. The ankle break was severe and pretty fluky, played 16 games in '21, thumb injury in '22 is pretty common with QBs, played 17 in '23, but the hamstring injury starts to make me wonder if he's actually injury prone due to body composition, genes, conditioning....whatever. That calf business a few years ago was linked to the nasty ankle break, but I hear ya.
All Hurts did was scramble. It also helps them that they are allowed to do the chicken scratch "tush push". Plus, they always go for it on 4th down because the are not good or men enough to beat you fair and square within the first 3 downs. It's like playing dirty pool. Chicken scratch punk gaming because they can't beat you head to head within the spirit of the game like every other team.
Yea, that's part of "stepping up" LOL.
Pay him no mind.
Yeah I don't have a huge issue with that take. I try to look at the injury prone thing a little more black and white, but no doubt their is some fluky stuff Prescott has had....the leg break through an awkward tackle, hitting his thumb on a helmet, etc.
The cowboys have some weapons but you have to admit, our O-line was pitiful last year, especially on the right side. Martin was used up and Steele was playing for the opposition by letting all the defenders run by.
Our OLine allowed Rico Dowdle to have over 1,000 yards rushing last year.
You of all people leaning on vague stats is... interesting.
Don’t know.
What people really meant was should fix the front 7 on defense.
You had to run because you didn't have time to throw the ball. The cowboys ranked at the top of the league in passing attempts but near the bottom in yards per completion average. We used a short passing game to supplement our running game (which also ranked near the bottom in rushing attempts). We were constrained offensively because the O-line (for most of the season) was ineffective in Run blocking and pass protection.
