Mazi Smith was not drafted last April.One of them was Mazi Smith.
I forget who the others are.
Guyton, Kneeland, Beebe.

If your mindset is the QB has all the control then you are right! Nevermind in most of the losses the defense was also carved up like a holiday bird.There were three/four consecutive years when the Cowboys had one of the best offensive line in football. They still couldn’t win it all. Why?
Someone kept throwing critical INT in the playoff.
we have not been good on the DL for years...can't recall the last time it was a decent group. probably 15, 16 years ago.There are mysteries and no secret codes needing to be deciphered here. This team is getting beat at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. Our running backs are averaging less than 2 yards before contact. Our QB is getting maybe two seconds to throw the ball and is getting pressured on over 25% of his throws. The offense can't function like that I don't care who you have at the skill positions. We all knew this line would have some struggles to start because of two rookies starting. But none of us saw Zack Martin getting thrown to the ground on the regular and Steele being a shell of himself coming. This can better and it needs to .. and soon. Whatever they are working on in practice is not working so they need to change it up. I thought Solari could fix it and I thought McCarthy "got it" when it came to running the ball at least in the red zone. I was wrong on both counts. At least I have been so far.
amusing how some dak bots try and hide that factIf your mindset is the QB has all the control then you are right! Nevermind in most of the losses the defense was also carved up like a holiday bird.
That doesn’t mean Dak doesn’t share the blame he absolutely does but the ints were not the only reason and certainly not the main issue but you know that
It’s just fun to stir the pot so Dak haters continue to do that
I was indifferent on the Dak signing because I know it’s more than a QB problem but at this point heck bench him and you won’t see 1 bit of difference in fact it will get worse if that’s possible
Heck all the trolls that promised to leave when if dak signed are now back and active but most knew they would renig.
the last time we had a very good DL was back when BP built it and it was gone pretty much by 2011. Ellis before he became a OLB, Glover, Canty, Spears, Ratliff, Spencer. we were not great back then but very good. Good enough but other parts were not.we have not been good on the DL for years...can't recall the last time it was a decent group. probably 15, 16 years ago.
the OL is a mess. Beebe playing the second most important position on the OL is a rookie. Guyton is a rookie and at this point he sucks. I was worried about this pick, because the kid has never played LT, had started only 8 games (this should have been an alarm) and now has to play against world Athletes at DE week in week out..
add to it two bad drafts in a row. lack of spending in FA and this team is devoid of top level talent very quickly.
Your second sentence says all that needs to be said about the 2024 Dallas Cowboys.There are mysteries and no secret codes needing to be deciphered here.

Our QB is getting maybe two seconds to throw the ball and is getting pressured on over 25% of his throws. The offense can't function like that I don't care who you have at the skill positions.

While I agree with your statement ,The insistence on making everything about Dak Prescott is mind boggling. We already know Dak is a very good but not great QB. We also know that if you give him a running game and time to throw you get good to great results 99% of the time. Right now neither Dak nor our backs are getting a fair opportunity to be successful because the line is struggling. Like you I am able to watch the game and see the defense constantly in our backfield and realize that the running game and passing game are both going to struggle until that stops being the case. People wanna call it excuse making, fan boying or whatever the hell they want is fine. It's also reality. A very sad reality.
My preference even though I know the 1 in the booth are the biggest issues is just to remain as positive as I canamusing how some dak bots try and hide that fact
now some here actually don't care since the whole organization is such a joke which is fair
the odds of real change as long as big and little enos are running things is virtually non existent so most fans concentrate on things that could change and the chief one is of course the QB and HC. We really need better at each so its an easy complaint to make
It's true and I keep posting here but the more I think about this yes all what you said is true however we need to be better in all three phases of coaching execution I mean some of the most fundamental things that this team is forgetting to do it's more than the trenches it's happening all over yeah it'd be a little easier if they were a little stronger and more consistent in the trenches.There are mysteries and no secret codes needing to be deciphered here.

Not by our GM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It's a known fact in the NFL that games are won in the trenches.
Yeah, but now you're whining about the whining.My preference even though I know the 1 in the booth are the biggest issues is just to remain as positive as I can
All the whining by fans in here serve no purpose in terms of how it affects the team
It’s really gotten pathetic Jerry isn’t in here he isn’t listening . Maybe there some therapeutic value in whining with like minded folks but I’m really not cut like that
Could I ignore these threads? Sure but anymore that requires ignoring most of the front page
The front office really botched the offseason and the talent we do have has been on the sideline a good chunk of the season. It’s hard to overcome the injuries and regression we have had. And thus far to this point not a single one of our high dollar players have stepped up.CeeDee is showing signs but other than that they are hurt or they suck
You do enjoy pointing that out don’t you?Yeah, but now you're whining about the whining.
Its that time of the week after a loss.Dak apologist incoming
At least now you got the blame rightOK, whatever gl in a cap league with an inept GM/QB getting all the talent you're looking for.
HF in fantasy land..............
