Well.... the numbers are significantly better in some areas. I think it’s fair to say Cooper’s addition translates to winning more games. The offense is just better with him.
I agree that the only thing fans can see is that the addition of Cooper has apparently changed the way teams are playing the Cowboys. I really doesn’t stand out on the stats but you have to look at the way teams are aligning against the Cowboys. One of the real reciepients of Coopers appearance is the running game of Elliot.
Shameful.
He has courage for sure.
He's an Alex Smith clone. He's a great bus driver, not a gifted passer, but you can win with him.
I honestly don't understand how Jerry Jones can watch a game like last night and come away content with what he has in Dallas at QB and Head Coach. Yet that senile old bastard is on the radio every other day doubling down on how Dak's a franchise QB and how he'll be extended.
He's good enough to keep you in that 7 to 10 win range but I don't foresee another 2016 like season in his future. As Ravi pointed out in his previous post, with Dak's limitations the Cowboys have to play near mistake free football coupled with a strong running game just to pull out close wins.
This person understands us as fans.
you just described his 2016 season. All thats missing is Jason Witten.
Exactly.
I roll with Rico and Dalton. Jarwin is not a consideration; maybe special teams, but certainly no targets.
Jerry wasn't watching the game, he was reading the latest Forbes ratings.
That's pretty insane. And would be understandable if there weren't some crazy obvious holds that aren't being called. And they still get called against us.
And some people want to trash him even when he makes a good play. Regardless we can all agree that this offense isn't going to go anywhere with Garrett and Linehan at the helm. It's just too basic and easy to predict. Dak has been clutch this year with the ball in his hands at the end of games. But we all want to see a lot more besides the 2 minutes before both halves. I just wish we saw more of the 2 minute Dak the rest of the game because the clutch ability doesn't matter if your team is down two scores.
Good point right here...Dak in the hurry-up has been pretty damn good. I'd roll with that more regularly than just the end of the half.
Watching that game last night was like running a 2 minute offense the entire game. It was insane.
