The passing game has almost disappeared

[Hadenough]

not ready to give Daniels anything yet. as Parcells used to say put the annointing oil away.
I do like Goff, in fact I was hoping for us to trade up to draft him, but we ended up with Zeke!!!! go figure.

Love hasn't accomplished anything yet. one year and he is 1-1 in playoffs, but he hadn't had a chance neither behind rodgers. so again put the annointing oil away.
I like Burrow, but not sure what's going on with Cinci. I thought he was elite before he came out. he was consensus #1 pick.
Allen is an enigma. cannon for an arm, yet he has failed, except for that covid season. since then he is 3-3 and can't get over the hump....not sure what's with him

and I do like all of those guys.

but then there is Lawrence, Herbert, Young, Levis, Richardson, Pickett, Wilson, Lance, Fields, Jones, Murray, Jones, Haskins, Mayfield, Darnold, Rosen

not saying, the list you have is a bad group. but they all need a strong team around them and without it they all have struggled, except for Mahomes.

But they all play each other tough. Dak tries to play with the big boys and he crumbles. You put Murray, Lawrence or Herbert on the Cowboys and they are much better team than with Dak. Than you have something to work with and build on.

The pass game is clearly worse with Rush than with Dak….duh. That’s why you have a starter and a backup, no surprise there.
BUT….the passing game was worse with Dak as well.

1. Dak was forcing throws and making some bad decisions.
2. Why so bad compared to last season? No Cooks and no Pollard and much worse pass blocking, along with no run game.

Cooks is nothing special, but he is head and shoulders above Tolbert and Brooks. We have no speed or quick twitch at WR. Therefore no separation. Teams can bracket Lamb and have no worries about anyone else making a big play, not even in man coverage. Tolbert and Brooks should both be #4 or #5, bottom of the corps players. They both stink and do not offer anything to make it worth scheming them open. Besides, as we’ve seen with Lamb, you can’t scheme a guy open play after play.

Pollard was a threat which made defenses respect the run even when we weren’t blocking well. That held LBs and got the attention of safeties in play action because he could take it all the way if he reached the second level. He was also a real threat as an outlet receiver; that and Cooks created room for Ferguson. Sadly, Ferguson offers more YAC than any current receiver not named Lamb. Tolbert is a #2 right now, but I’ve seen enough to know he shouldn’t even be on the team. He has less value than Noah Brown had. Why? Because Brown was also a wr with no speed or separation, but he blocked his tail off. Our WRs can’t get open and they cannot block….pathetic. Add to that the OL struggling with lack of experience, lack of continuity, and in some cases with injury, and our offensive plays are mostly for quick throws to guys who can’t back a CB off, can’t win a slant route, never produce any Yac, and on the screens, can’t or won’t block for each other.

Bring back Dak or Romo on a good year, and I still see no way this team could even finish near .500. It’s Lamb or nothing. Impossible.

well, here is the thing. Dak can play against top 5 philly defense. but Hurts plays against #32 defense. its not like they are playing against each other really.

and I don't think Lawrence is going to be much better than Dak. I just don't think he is that good. Everyone loves Herbert, so Dak beating herbert, does that count (going back to your first statemennt)....

Murray is just not that good. sorry, he is a middling QB, perhaps worse than Dak.

of the three Herbert is good enough to build on.

I keep posting this. But Dak had two games where we were into the 3rd quarter with only 6 points on the board. Rush had one today. Why would we expect Dak to outperform himself compared to those two games, today, against a better opponent than he face on those other days? He might of put more yards up if Philly went into prevent but in all likelihood, there is no evidence that Dak wouldn't have been humiliated just as badly today.

Come on!! Dak has never ever looked as bad as Rush was yesterday. Stop it!! Your post is twisting yourself in a knot trying to defend Rush's performance. What a joke.

Again, Dak had two games this season where he was into the 3rd quarter and only had 6 points on the board. Add onto that, that Dak has been very slow in the backfield just taking sacks when there was time to do something. I'm not quite convinced he would've had more than 6 points in the 3rd quarter against the Eagles as well. Someone actually said something about Dak covering things up *this season* with his talent, and I am calling bull.

No

Daks continuos failing

Revisionist history. I know Facts are not your strong suite but runner-up MVP happened.

and Cooper Rush flat out sucking are not mutually exclusive.....

Cooper Rush is continuous failure....5-2 in 8 year span. Failed to EARN a starting Job and 32 GMs DID NOT think Cooper Rush is worth a starting contract No matter the events.

and you can throw in Lance sucking too.

Only Dak Haters touted less than 1000 passes from Trey Lance in Training Camp

All 3 can get to steppin

Dak Haters Mission Accomplished
