I don’t want this to turn into a Dak bashing thread. We also all know the Jones family is a cancer on this organization. That said this team did just win 12 games back to back. There is talent on the roster. I don’t see sustained success given Jerry and his toxic culture but catching lightening in a bottle is possible. Not probable but possible. For the stars to align for a year this is what I think would need to happen.
1. Dak needs a season of mistake free football
2. McCarthy must do his best work as a play caller
3. Another great draft (2022 was excellent)
4. Micah playing like a DPOTY
5. Jerry decides to go all in and adds a couple impact FAs
6. Limited injuries especially to the OL
7. Young Smith continues to ascend
8. Improved run dense and a push from the middle of DL
9. Zeke is not on the team anymore, tag Pollard, draft a quality back
10. Health at CB
I think if all that happened Dallas might actually have a shot to do something the next 2 years. Your thoughts?
#1 is ridiculous and no qb has mistake free SEASON>.jeez the expectations and gaul of fans to even suggest that perfect players exist and that the teams so weak that qb has to cover up all warts the teams has by being PERFECT..
thats the issue, its the fan base. was Mathew Stafford perfect in his sb season nope, he led the league in INTS and threw w2 in the SB, they won because the team overcame any mistakes the all make ie missing tackles, fumbles, give up big pays , etc etc bad pay calls, poor blocking. you get that yet? Josh allen has more INTs the last 2 years then any starer in the nfl. Dak had 37tds and only 10INT in 21 why no SB, oh wait the line committed 11 penalties, no run game, and the DL got ran over early in that 9er game. how about his near perfect rookie season, right defense choked. its team game my may. Mistakes happen, its how you overcome them that galvanizes a TEAM..
Yes blame dak blame coaching, blame a team for not being perfect. did Eli manning have perfect season ion his 2 sb runs, NOPe, but i saw payers helping make special plays to help him, was Peyton manning perfect, no he had far more INTs his first 97 game like twice as many..
jeez fans , just stop.. burrows had 2 INT in his playoff game and Allen 4 tos, Lawrence 5 the last playoffs. ironic allen and Lawrences teams won those games
Now #2 MM has to be at his best like another be perfect or fail. lmao
your list is whats wrong with this place and the fan base romo and dak being roasted for just being n a quarterback and not being perfect.
Let me make it much simpletyrr do ewnouygh to get inthye payoffs, then have your TEAM show uop and polay their very besty instead oif yearly we exit because we dont have run game or an OL makig too many mistakes or pkayers not exectuing at the worst posisble time ro caoch caling head scrathig plays etc etc lets pay as A TEAM for once; and not nlame player for loss when there were 5 other reaosns that led to a loss.
TEAMS win SBS..
example KC down in the first half playing their normal game. come out in the 2nd half and change to run heavy offense and just blow the eagles off the line and run them over..thats team picking up their game and p;ay together to make comeback and win.
show me the game with Dak or ROMO in the playoiffs where the run game, OL , and others just exert their dominance and make statement physically.
