yeah, I don't see him rushing back to take on King Henry

I'd rather give the younger LBers some playing time and see what they have. I hate to say it but the remaining games on our schedule don't hold a ton of importance. Give the young guys a chance at LBer, see what they can do and maybe they surprise a little.

Like I said earlier, drops have been a big problem.

Like I said earlier, drops have been a big problem.

About half of Dak's INT's aren't egregious and a good number of them have bounced off hands, Brown in particular now in back to back weeks.

The outrage around Dak is either completely performative or just pure stupidity. Like sure, if we're picking in the top 10 and want to take a swing, great, but aside from that there's almost no chance we're going to find a QB as good as Dak.

Which is to say a back end top 10ish QB who is paid as such. If anything our dullard front office should be looking to extend him at a discounted rate, I'd be more than happy to tack on another 4 years, $160-175 million to his current deal which would probably make him about the 10th-15th highest paid QB in 2024, 2025, 2026, etc.

They still think they should have closed that game out. When the other team runs and throws without regard, then maybe it should have happened.

Speaking of, I think Trevor leads league in drops.

It's too bad we didn't already have a receiver on the roster who excelled at route running and getting open.

For a fucking 5th round pick. I still can't get over that shit.

Basically the same thing I said.

Another thing worth noting in regards to the Cowboys using the draft to find franchise QBs. Their track record for drafting/acquiring QBs has been laughably bad since Aikman retired.

It's well documented how it was mostly blind luck that enabled them to acquire Dak and Romo. IMO, the Cowboys finding those two QBs fit more into the mold of "a broken clock being right twice a day" rather than stellar work by the front office and scouting department.

I don't trust their ability to find a QB unless it's inside the top 10.

That could be true, but Aikman was the last QB we drafted or acquired the traditional way as far as targeting a franchise QB.

Drafting QBs in the top 10 is risky and can set you back years if they’re bad. I’m not sure there’s really a safe alternative to that either. Unless the goal is to be somewhat relevant.

Say you draft a guy in the top 10 in 2024 and he doesn’t work out. What had changed? We’re already in a an almost 30 year NFCCG drought.

What are we risking? A couple division wins and 1st round exits with an aging QB who was at his best when his legs worked?

After reading some of the posts here, I’d say it’s mostly the latter.

This whole narrative is silly. Unless you’re drafting one at the very top of the draft, (and they don’t bust) finding one is luck.

Was the patriots getting Brady in the sixth skill or luck? The niners getting Montana in the third skill or luck? The Packers getting Rodgers after a fall thru the first skill or luck? And there are plenty other good QBs taken after the premium picks that have done well.

You can claim that their scouts found these gems in later rounds as skill. But I’d still say it was luck. You can bet your sweet ass that if they thought they’d have turned out half as good as they did, they never would have fell that far to begin with.

I'm not too concerned with our pass defense, it was basically all Joseph since outside of his two pathetic plays Lawrence was 25/40 for 249 yards, which is barely 6 YPA.

The problem, as always, is still the run defense and the inability to play assignment sound particularly on misdirection and jet sweep type action towards the perimeter.

Joseph doesn’t concern you? Or are you assuming a different option opposite Diggs, like Wright? CB2 is scary right now.
