The run game alone would have been a huge problem. We got 1 to 2 yards per carry, while San Fran was getting 6 to 7.
Should have taken an O-lineman and an actual RB in the past draft.
The reality is we keep thinking we are one or two players away, but every year there is ALWAYS some massive hole that never gets addressed.
The problem starts in the FO and trickles down, hence 30 years of failure.
We said we were going to be a running team this year. Instead of O-line, we took a TE who barely sees the field and a mini-rb who is averaging like 1 yard a carry. Our number 1 pick is so invisible we don't know if he even played.
Dak was terrible, as was the whole team. You can just see the difference in the FOs though. 49ers made a bold trade for McCaffery who has been putting up TD for TD for them. Meanwhile we trade for bargain players who might sound nice on paper, but make a limited impact. Eagles found a player who looks like he will end up in the HOF in the draft a year after being in the superbowl. Meanwhile, our first rounder can't even get on the field.
Jerry will never hire a coach that brings the proper accountability. Just like the 49ers traded away Trey Lance or the Eagles traded away Wentz, would that ever happen on the Cowboys? Is the Qb or any 'star' player ever under enough pressure to perform or risk getting traded?
