Who is Cowboys 1 receiver?

[Diehardblues]

Terrence Williams??

No concerns without a #1 reciever who can demand double coverage?

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Beasley was doubled last season. Don't need a true #1 (Pats don't use one). Just spread the ball to whoever is open.

#1 WRs sell jerseys, they do not win games.

With an elite running game and a 1st or 2nd round WR added we will be fine.

This wouldn't even be an issue if we had a TE who could run. Love Witt, but he can't run.

 

[jazzcat22]

Witten, and he will average 1/2 yard short of a 1st down.

Yes I know he is a TE, not a WR. But he still catches the ball and is part of the passing game.

Gronk may be considered their #1 receiver. Not a Wr, but a receiver in the passing game.

maybe we can get the legend of Rico in the game....

Just imagine Rico as the #2 TE and Bease and Switz in the slot AT THE SAME DAMN TIME. Unstoppable.

Having a #1 receiver is so overrated. Having a solid group of 4-5 receivers without a “star” WR can still be very effective.

Look at Seattle’s 2013 team that won the SB- #1 receiver? Doug Baldwin. Eaglets team last year- #1 is I guess Alshon Jeffrey. Pats #1 WR the last few years (excluding injury season) has been 5’9” Julian Edelman.

Sure having a Julio Jones or Antonio Brown would be great. But there aren’t that many stud receivers out there. Remember when the Lions had the best receiver in pro football for nearly a decade with Calvin “Megatron” Johnson? They never won a single playoff game with him.

Having a well rounded deep WR corps can be very effective. I wouldn’t mind having a star WR of course. But the hand wringing about possibly not having one is overblown. Besides- let’s be honest. Performance wise, we haven’t had a true #1 receiver since 2014.

Seriously.

How many threads does it take to say the same thing?


There's even one in the Draft Zone!

 

[Captain-Crash]

yep the preseason super star against guy who was on the bubble. The Legend of Rico.... only problem right now is finding a helmet that will fit over his giant knot on his head.

Without the Legion of Doom defense that offense would have never seen a Super Bowl.

Agreed. But you don’t have to have a #1 WR to be an effective offense.

Re-build the O-line into a #1 unit, keep Zeke playing for 16 games, protect the young QB and return to 2016 football. Remember the first 6 games without Dez in 2016? Yeah, yeah I know opposing coaches hadn't figured it out. Guess what, they had lots of time to figure it out over 16 games. Would a 90's offense be so bad? I mean opposing coaches had years to figure out that we were going to dominate on the O-line and run 22. A dominant O-line and the best RB in football leading an offense around a QB who rarely threw for more than 250 yards in a game but was accurate. Sound a little familiar? Improve your accuracy Dak. Strengthen the O-line and get back to work with the best RB in football. It's the same damned game that it was in the 90's with a little more protection for the WR's and QB thanks to rule changes. Heck, even Barry Switzer couldn't **** that up

Who was our #1 last year?

We don't need one, but in case we do there still is draft.

Whiles there’s some connection they were different thoughts .

They look like the same thought to me and at least one other person.

 

[Diehardblues]

Agreed. But you don’t have to have a #1 WR to be an effective offense.

Maybe we don’t with Dak. Our passing offense looks very suspect without a big threat.

Your certainly entitled to your view. Perhaps it’s because you don’t agree with the narrative?

Well Dez hasn't given us that anyways so may be now we can get one
