We traded a Top 5 pick for a WR

[NumOneQB]

I think the Cowboys got a really good player. He showed it tonight why he was a top 5 pick.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

It was beyond stupid.

My god people.

It was so stupid before tonight anyone defending it after tonight is as clueless as our brain trust.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

The guys on The Ticket right now are raving about Cooper. Apparently he & Beasley we’re open all night.

Cooper did look good when he got the ball. Unfortunately he's never going to touch the ball that much to make a difference.

 

[Mobinvans]

You like your chances with Dak or a potential top QB draft pick? Can't believe I would even ask that.

I would rather have Cooper than Herbert

 

[kumizi]

Well, 40% of top 5 picks bust (around that since 2000, think slightly higher)

Cooper flashed #1 WR potential tonight.

That trade isn't the problem.

It's like you guys are oblivious to the bigger picture. Without a QB, you're going nowhere in the NFL. A top 10 pick is the biggest ammunition you can have to acquire a potential franchise QB.

 

[Mobinvans]

It will be if a top tier QB is available at 5.

You keep saying that...

hey man...theres only ONE QB worth a 1st round this year...Herbert

And it might go down as one of the dumbest in franchise history if it’s a top five pick.

Brady
Romo?

Prescott isn't terrible. He just isn't great.

 

[CowboysDrew]

Which is nothing but sheer idiocy

Indeed, but Jerry said it in the pregame interview.

Apparently his routes were phenomenal.

However, he wasn’t worth a #1 pick when you should be firing your staff and in search of a new QB.

 

[kskboys]

Yup.

Sad part is I liked what I saw from Cooper. Even sadder though is that a WR was simply not the answer to what ails us.

Correct. Thinking a WR was the answer is the problem.

 

[Dale]

You have to look at Cooper's stat line the same you would when comparing money from the 1930's to today's money with inflation.

Taking Dakflation into account, Cooper basically went off for about 145 yards tonight.

Brady
Romo?

Prescott isn't terrible. He just isn't great.

He's pretty terrible lately. He overshoots guys and is inaccurate and now he's turning the ball over. We can't compete with the best teams in the league scoring one or 2 TDs a game. He might be a good bus driver but that's not what we need.

 

[RS12]

Indeed, but Jerry said it in the pregame interview.

Successful teams dont force picks, they either take what the draft gives them or makes shrewd moves to get areas of need. Saying 6 months before the draft you were going to draft a WR in the first round anyway might top the list of stupid remarks of this FO, quite an accomplishment.

 

[ClintDagger]

Brady
Romo?

Prescott isn't terrible. He just isn't great.

Dak is terrible if you just use him as a pocket passer and don’t utilize his legs. And for whatever reason they seem hell bent on trying to make him a pocket passer.

 

[Jake0]

Cooper is under contract for 1 more year.....

You need a big chunk of your team's top talent to be on their rookie contract. He is essentially a rental. The trade was absolutely awful.

 

[ArtClink]

We are rebuilding again and we were not one player away from being able to compete for the division. But jerry never says we are rebuilding.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Garrett said not scoring 10 points early in the game "probably" hurt us.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Yup.

Sad part is I liked what I saw from Cooper. Even sadder though is that a WR was simply not the answer to what ails us.

You go out and get a stud WR when they are the missing piece for a SB. This team has too many holes.
