Which five players would you protect from injury this season for all season if you could magically?

How do you figure ? He's probably our best player

Because he's got the best backup option.

Who is the LT of Smith goes down? Who is the C is TFred goes down?

People can dump on McFadden all they want but he ran for 1100 yards on a team that had no QB.
 
Funny how we went 13-3 when we added the guy who isn't the best guy (^:

Giving Elliott all the credit for going 13-3 is laughable. Was he a factor? Absolutely, but more importantly we got competent QB play compared to 2015.
 
It would be interesting if we opened it up to Cowboys from all generations.

Current Cowboys
- Dak
- Tyron
- Lee
- Zeke
- Frederick

All Cowboys
- Staubach
- Emmitt
- Deion
- Larry Allen
- Randy White

All Time Any Team
- Reggie White
- Lawrence Taylor
- Deion Sanders
- Tom Brady
- Jerry Rice
 
If its season-ending injury, then

Dak (assume no Tony return...lol..Moore as full time starter is scary)
Tyron
Zeke
Martin
Bailey

Maybe Lee, tFred, or Dez squeeze in there

Yep. If Tony would come back, I don't put Dak on the list. If he wouldn't then Dak is a no brainer. I would consider swapping Fred for Tyron or Bailey.
 
Another way to look at it............. of our best players, Elliott is probably the one that we could afford to lose to injury.

I dont want to lose a league leader regardless of the oline or who the backup is...he doesnt have to be #1, but he should be in the top 5....and this is top 5 you wouldnt want to lose for injury for the year, not top 5 players on the team (not aimed at you Sydia).

Number 1 just has to be Dak because you simply can't win without a QB. After that I'll go Zeke, Any of the big 3 O-lineman, Dez, Sean Lee
 
Dak - Franchise QB, nuff said.
Smith - Franchise LT, lose him QB dead.
Fredbeard - Best center in the game, makes all the line calls, again lose him QB in a world of hurt.
Dez - love him or not, he's our main weapon in passing game. Without him, they T-off on running game way more. (Hurts 2 positions)
Lee - The defensive General.

The 3 games last season that Dez missed:

Win 24-17
Win 28-14
Win 30-16 over Green Bay
 
1.Dak
2. Tyron
3. Fred
4. Martin
5. Dez


I chose Dez>Zeke bc I dred the thought of relying on Twill and Brice Butler as our starting outside WRs for a stretch period...
The 3 games last season that Dez missed:

Win 24-17
Win 28-14
Win 30-16 over Green Bay
 
Zak, without him we are done unless Tony comes out of retirement
Lee, we are a much better team with him and he is a leader
I think we are ok if one OL goes down, but if we lose two starters, that would be devastating
Zeke, he is a stud, cannot be replaced, will win games for us
 
The 3 games last season that Dez missed:

Win 24-17
Win 28-14
Win 30-16 over Green Bay
2 of those teams were terrible

The 2-14 49ers & the 6-9-1 Bengals

I'll give you the Green Bay game, but when we played them the 2nd time, Dez was our best player on offense by far and the main reason we came back...
 
in order:
1. Tyron
2. Zeke
3. Dak
4. Sean lee
5. Jaylon

Tyron Bc this line could easily fall apart without him this year.

Zeke higher than dak Bc I think zeke made everything so easy for the rookie qb. And the reason for the qb not being first is Bc we may have the better qb ready to come out of the booth :x

And also Bc dak seems like a tank. roethlisberger -esque.

Sean and jaylon Bc they're the best players in defense but idk if you know this but they have injury concerns :0

1. Smith
2. Fred
3. Martin
4. L Collins
5. Dak
