It is not so much about Zeke or DeMarco, etc. The problem is that our stale, outdated offensive scheme relies on a bellcow/stud RB. Guys like Morris or whoever would be fine backs, just not in this offense. It not only needs that special back but an Oline as well with a capable QB. Take any one of those away and you see the results.
Dak is good enough to run this offense as long as no one gets injured/suspended on the line or at RB. He is not ready to carry a team through the air. Romo tried his best(10 times the QB as Dak) and got nowhere.
Romo's best season had Murray(his personal best) and lost in playoffs. Dak had Zeke and had the same results as Romo with Murray. See a pattern here?
There is a fundamental flaw in Dallas and it is not with the QB's. If every cog in the wheel is there, the offense flows. But, break one cog, the wheel falls off.
That is because the scheme/system is terrible and outdated. Couple that with coaches who have no innovation or creativity and you see the same results.
Good coaches gameplan for their opponent and attack their weaknesses. Our braintrust does the same thing over and over hoping it is enough with a small wrinkle here and there nevermind who has an injury at that point in time.
Our offense is predicated on an elite run game, so yes, missing Zeke(and Smith) is huge. Again, it needs an elite run game, not just a good one.
Bashing Dak is getting old. Did he not lead us to 13-3 last season with that elite run game? He is more than capable of doing the job but he will never be a Rodgers, Brees or Montana.
There are many reasons why this team never meets expectations but Dak and Romo are not among them. There is one common denominator and that is the GM Jerry which leads to a second denominator in Garrett.
BTW, I only included Romo in this because you liked to rag on him as well. Bottom line...........coaching and a stale offensive scheme hold this team down more than anything.
I don't even want to address the defensive side tonight
