I wasn't using last year to make any point... Let's look at Garrett's last year in 2019. What did the offensive line look like then? Last year's was just as bad. I'm only talking about the line. I won't even get into how the overall offense did in 2019. I know some of the players didn't want Dalton on the team. Maybe that could be why they didn't protect him. Remember when he got knocked out? Who rushed to his aid? Nobody...
Now that they actually had a training camp under MM, I see a huge difference in how the offense plays. I think if Dalton was to come back, I honestly think he'd be treated better than last year...
Thats the problem, right there. You say you can see the offense is playing WAY better this year with a full training camp under MM. Really? Thats not what the numbers say.
Through 5 games last season (dak got hurt in game 5) the Cowboys avg FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHT-EIGHT YARDS PER GAME. Thats sick.
They avg 32.6 points per game in that span.
This year through 6 games, they avg 460 yards per game. Thats 28 yards per game LESS. Still amazing though.
This year they are avg 34.16 PPG which is obviously about 1.5 more PPG.
These numbers suggests tha=ey are basically playing at near identical levels through the same point in the season. As soon as Dak went down, the offense went to garbage. This is exactly what would happen in Az if Murray got hurt.
