Jerry can't wait to extend these guys because in his head it proves what a great GM he is. "See, these guys I brought here were worthy of a huge extension!"

Total madness.

And I still think the anthem stance must play into his Dak love.

This perfectly encapsulates my primary gripe with Garrett and the offense over the years, and its the main reason I want to see Dak under a different staff.

Dak has his warts but you never see easy reads/throws schemed up for him like you see all across the league, and that's only exacerbated by how predictable the offense is overall. Hell, they barely started using rub routes/picks until this year.

Oh, look everyone! Once again, no mention of a DT.

Those two positions are obvious but a forward-thinking team would also look to add to the DL if possible.

Lawrence is the only elite pass-rusher on the roster and the 2nd and 3rd best pass-rushers are unreliable off the field in Gregory and Irving. Collins, Crawford, Charlton, etc. are ok as complementary rushers but if you have to rely on them to be your top guys you're in trouble, and that would pretty much be the case if Lawrence were to miss time.

I'd look hard at guys like Frank Clark and Grady Jarrett, they will command big time money but you have to take a chance at some point and there's nothing wrong with spending on top players in their mid-20's, especially when they could take an already very good group and possibly turn them into a dominant one.

Sign Earl Thomas at a discount, break the bank on a Lawrence extension and either Clark or Jarrett, and you're looking at a unit similar to the 2015 Broncos that could carry a team to a Super Bowl.

Amazing how anyone can get excited in the modern NFL about a QB who throws three TD's in three games.

We're driving our star RB into the ground, our defense is playing lights out, and our new WR's is making big plays after the catch.

Time for Dak to get a fucking clue here. I mean WTF?

There's no invisible ceiling... just go for it, man.

Rushing TDs for QBs don't count

I get pretty jealous watching NFL QB's drop dimes into WR's hands on Sundays, then watch Dak flail around and throw shit into the ground, behind the WR, 3' over the WR's head...then deliver a beautiful pass out of nowhere.

The talent is there, he just needs someone to get his ass in line.

Its obviously not going to be Kellen fucking Moore and Linehan.

Ok sure, they definitely make a difference, but that’s not what he’s here for. Even when you count his ground scores, it’s still 6 TDs in 3 wins.

Dak’s not elite, and we’re settling for him long term.

He isn't elite. But his numbers the last 3 games have been very good. I hope he continues doing that. That is all.

This. These two have done ZERO to help Dak with what we all see plainly are his flaws. The ones he had before he came here. Its the same stuff, 3 years later. Terrible coaching, mentoring and development.

He got better every year in college so the data suggests his teachers got worse

I don't regard him as a goldbricker.

He's just a fucked up individual.
