Why are so many Cowboys fans obsessed with WR?

[GINeric]

We need great route runners because Dak can't even throw a well greased window open.

Every quarterback needs great route runners. Aaron Rodgers has been the best QB in the NFL for a few years now. How far has he gone without route runners? How's that worked out for him in terms of winning anything within the last ten years??

Dak has only played 5 seasons.

(I'm not stating Dak is better or equivalent to Rodgers)

It's amazing to see how many people are in support of drafting a WR in the first round or even the first 3 rounds. It seems like this is the case almost every year no matter what. This is also in spite of the fact that our two best teams since the 90's were heavy running teams (2014 and 2016). Furthermore, Dak is an average QB so the best thing you can do for him is run the ball more.

Like most years, WR is the least of our worries. We just drafted one in the first round and signed another to a big contract. Washington will be a fine third receiver. We have a million other needs so drafting a WR before round 5 would be incredibly stupid. Unfortunately our front office is also obsessed with WR's so lets hope that none fall to them.

Not me i think we have a very good WR/TE room right now and 4tyh rounder yes maybe but no way this is position of NEED..

Aaron has always had great route runners. He loses in the playoffs because he curls up in a little ball and chokes.

I wonder the same thing...this team needs help running the ball and stopping the run, but somehow thinks a WR will fix everything.

average daks far above average he maybe not be elite but these statements are out of control the dudes top 10 around 7 in most ranking and even most rankings by players and coaches around the league..you do know average means middle you saying hes 16th lmao get past it folks hes top 10 starting Francise qb regardless of your" feelings".

average qbs don't put up numbers lie that regardless of strength of schedule etc

I do agree with ther wr group is fine and the run game has to be found..but that goes for all qbs i mean go look a the payoff teams that ran the best made it further. run and stop the run its all teams blueprints for sucess it has ZERO to do with dak., that OL all the penalties no run game and daks supposed to eb hero? 14 penlites give it rest. dak didnt allow 9ers to score on e fiorst 4 drives either..lmao.. The perception is so slanted it out of control.no he wasn't perfect nor special but hes far above average.

yes find a run game thats key for balance.

The last time we didn't have good receivers the offense didn't move the ball and we lost a bunch of games. Imagine that might have a part to play.

It's not that we are obsessed, but rather know this front office is going to take another receiver.

The D didn’t lose that game. The offense did. They couldn’t do anything and had plenty of chances to win it.

Agree but a 170 yards rushing is not exactly stopping the O when needed. Plus that first series when they drove 90 yards out the gate is never a good sign on one of the few times we kicked instead of receiving the ball first.

 

[morasp]

Because they couldnt' stop the run, yup.

Yes, as I've said in multiple posts weaknesses get exposed in the playoffs and our run defense got exposed in the wild card game. I wasn't implying that it was a one time lapse, they were 16th against the run in the regular season. I don't know if they'll bother to do anything about it but it's pretty obvious.

 

[nightrain]

The WR market is now beyond ridiculous thanks most recently to the Raiders contract with Adams. It's so bad the Chiefs are letting Hill find a trade partner. The smart teams will figure out how to drive an offense without the big $$$ WR.

That first drive to start the game is a tradition around here! Than they settle down

Teams expose ours, but we don’t expose theirs.

Older WRs can often be had for a stick of gum. Guys who already know all the routes, but have just lost a step. Or, like Laurent Robinson, have lost nothing, but were buried on their depth chart.

Meanwhile, rookie WRs face a steep learning curve. They're usually not NFL ready until at least year 2, more often 3.

Lamb made sense, IMO, because he fell and gave us an easy opportunity to move on from Gallup, Cooper, or both. But in general, I don't want to spend top picks or top money on WRs.

IF WR is BPA then sure. Jameson Williams could slip due to injury.

Well, we have become a pass-happy, stat-padding team.

Most fans follow the ball when watching football.

They only tend to see OL when the OL makes a mistake that get replayed by the network.

Similar with Safety, fans tend to only see Safeties if the give up a big play or get an INT.

Because they are stupid.

WR is dependent on the Qb which is dependent on the oline. Same as RB.

Exactly…..it’s nice way of saying that most fans are casual football know nothings.

I don’t get why people stress about position
Just draft the best player
If it’s a DT, WR, guard, who cares
Drafting for position is what gets you guys like hill
If a WR is the best player on the board at 24 why would you not take him? Why draft a less talented player just because he plays a certain position

Because weaknesses at positions cause you to not win playoff games.

BPA gets you Taco and Jaylon.
