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?
The Day I finally walk away will be the year they win. . . Might be this Season

its really NOT

I explained that in my rant.. where was the sbs when dak wasn't turning it over. lmao its team game many qbs won SBS despite throwing INTs if you think we lost that 9er game Soley on those 2 INTs you aren't watching close enough to why and how those INTS were thrown.

when you have to resort to one dimensional football without a run game with an OL getting pushed back into the pocket on a regular basics with WRs not getting separations, you might feel its all on you and force a ball. only one of those were forced over the middle. the other is Gallup allow himself to be pushed off his route and not attempting to try and get back on the route and allowed the db to easily finish the route and go get pick..

happened all year

show Me that OL and run game Pat got in that 2nd half against the eagles and il show you Dak also winning that game. better coaching, better ol play, an actual run game, yup all were needed to make a comeback.
I did not mean to diss Dak or Tony or Danny. Just saying there were many other years beyond the Dak years years that was posted. But we all know it is the team overall. Not just the QB.
For those that know football anyway. :muttley:

You are right, so many things would have to break just right.
It's already so hard to win it all in the NFL.
Then you have the extra obstacle of Jerry's poor GM'ing and it would be extremely difficult to win the lombardi.

#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.
Most of these fans are know nothings.

They still think mahomes wins games by himself.

Hey, a post with some football talk. :laugh::thumbup:

DT stud is top priority or one of them. Fix the OL at least with some depth. Better blocking scheme will help tremendously.

I am keeping away from Zeke talk, if I can. Though to dump that cap number is a priority as well. Pay vs. production. If he is released or traded ( very doubtful) so be it. If they renegotiate and he takes a pay cut, so be it. Though many will not like that. It is out of my control, so not wasting any brain cells on it. :laugh:

A disruptive 3tech and a disruptive 1tech
A ballhawking FS that the opposing O must account for at all times.
An O that understands how to run the ball.
An OL that smacks the opposing DLine into oblivion.
A route running fiend at WR opposite Lamb.
A tough yards RB who is hard to bring down and is very quick to and through the LOS.
CBs who mirror well.

Since it's so hard to find a QB and even mentioning DAK begets nothing but extreme stupidity, it's wise to just leave out the QB position when doing any synopsis.

when they get into the playoffs for the team as a whole to show up and play consistent football thats from the qb on down you cant turn the ball over in the playoffs and win dak and whole team plays small in the playoffs until that changes they are never going to be better than what they are

It's a opinion board, you want a SB?
There's my opinion.

Honestly mine are:
1. Dak Minimize the turn overs
2. Running game be a priority and have production.
3. get a Solid #2 WR to produce. We have 2 capable ones on roster just need production.
4. need another pass rusher Interior or exterior.
5. need a Sideline to Sideline Thumper in the Middle for LB
6. another 2 CB to step up

An elite defense and a dominant rushing attack.
This. If Daddy & Son want to pretend Dak is a Super Bowl caliber QB, fine...then go out and get a defense so terrifying, opponents will wet themselves on the field. And they could do it. But they insist on winning it all with a few good players, one great player, and bargain bin pieces.
