Overrating leads to overpaying in Dallas. And overpaying leads to CAP problems and mediocre performance.
But I agree about the WR, OL, and RBs. I mean the Rams have OBJ, Kupp, and Woods when he is healthy. That is a far more scary WRs group than what the Cowboys have.
IMO, Cooper was always overrated. So much so it wound up costing the Cowboys a 1st round draft pick when no other team would offer more than a 2nd. Looking at his stats for Oakland he was never worth a 1st round pick based on his performances on the field. He is a good receiver, not a great receiver but now the Cowboys are paying great receiver money for him.
Zeke was obviously slipping before Jerry gave him a new contract. Your eyes were not deceiving you when you watch Zeke run. He was actually getting slower. And now the whole world is wondering why Pollard does not get more carries for the Cowboys but the Cowboys still stubbornly hand the ball to Zeke most of the time, when they decide to hand the ball off at all.
Which brings me to Dak. Overrating Dak has Moore calling 38 passes a game and <20 runs. What happened to the balance that made this offense great in the first half of the year?
And this isn't just a problem with the offense. They have the same problem on defense. That's how DLaw wound up getting paid $21 million. I like DLaw. He is a good, even very good, DE who makes the defense better. But he is not near the top DEs in the league to be getting paid what Jerry paid him.
Some of this is Jerry thinking that whoever he draft must be great. Some is just the usual Dallas Cowboys hype. But I do agree it holds this team back from making the necessary personnel decisions to become a championship team.
