ACL injuries are NBD in the NFL these days. He has had more then enough time to recover.We do get scandrkck back tho but let's see what he's gonna bring after the ACL tear might not be the same

There is plenty of ways around it. Besides we would only really lose 2 starters. Claiborne only started due to an injury. Plus our secondary sucked last year so it can't really get worse.I think we're going to see more than growing pains if we dump 3 starting DBs. Still I don't see much way around it.
We actually had a statistically strong pass defense. But damn we were great at giving up Long TDs in overtime at the end of games, but it could definitely get way worse.There is plenty of ways around it. Besides we would only really lose 2 starters.

Depends on the statistic. QB rating against our pass defense stunk. I think yards are meaningless as a statistic for pass defense.We actually had a statistically strong pass defense. But damn we were great at giving up Long TDs in overtime at the end of games, but it could definitely get way worse.
We only allowed 19 passing TDs. That's pretty damn good.Depends on the statistic. QB rating against our pass defense stunk. I think yards are meaningless as a statistic for pass defense.
Completion percentage, ypa and ints are pretty significant indicators of a secondary. Consider the QB rating against our pass defense is in the middle 90s it is bad. Teams just didn't have to throw against our defense a lot. So looking at total statistic like yards or TDs against is a meaningless stat.We only allowed 19 passing TDs. That's pretty damn good.
While I tend to agree with you, keep in mind they weren't as bad as it seemed on the pass defense. They were 5th in the league at defending the pass at 227 yards a game, where as the run defense was a shitty 21st in the league at 121 yards per game. We definitely need a run stopper not named Hayden, but I wouldn't say the pass defense was not good. I do think other areas need addressing first but CB is definitely not a "priority".You can draft a couple CBs in the later rounds to replace Carr and Mo. If the scouting dept does their job, there will be some growing pains but in the end there's not going to be a big drop off. Carr and Mo simply are not that good anymore.
Who the hell uses yards still to determine how good a defense is? To say our pass defenses was fifth in the league is the biggest fraud ever. Pass attempts and rushing attempts vary wildly from team to team. The only way to determine if a pass defense is any good is on a per pass basis which we stunk. The rushing defense you really need to look at on a ypa basis as well.While I tend to agree with you, keep in mind they weren't as bad as it seemed on the pass defense.

Carr and Mo are not special but you are nobody should be comfortable going into a season with 2 of your top 3 CB's later round draft picks.You can draft a couple CBs in the later rounds to replace Carr and Mo.

Qb rating is only one statistic like you said it depends on the statistic and you are choosing to use one in particular.Depends on the statistic. QB rating against our pass defense stunk. I think yards are meaningless as a statistic for pass defense.
QB rating takes everything into consideration. Yards, completion percentage, TDs and Ints. So it includes all the other stats you want to consider. It's why its the only reasonable way to rate the pass defense.Qb rating is only one statistic like you said it depends on the statistic and you are choosing to use one in particular.
Weeden had a pretty good QB rating while he was here and we see how that worked out.QB rating takes everything into consideration. Yards, completion percentage, TDs and Ints. So it includes all the other stats you want to consider. It's why its the only reasonable way to rate the pass defense.
Welcome to the board. Pull up a seat and remember, do not piss on the toilet seat.We do get scandrkck back tho but let's see what he's gonna bring after the ACL tear might not be the same
To be fair Weeden probably wasn't as bad as we all acted. We saw with Cassel just how much worse things can get. But Weeden's QB rating still wasn't as good as the rating our secondary gave up. So your point is still off.Weeden had a pretty good QB rating while he was here and we see how that worked out.
I think when you look at the money that the Cowboys would have tied up, vs what you are getting in return then you have no choice but to find a couple replacements in the draft.Carr and Mo are not special but you are nobody should be comfortable going into a season with 2 of your top 3 CB's later round draft picks.
I thought the idea was to upgrade not hope for a slight dropoff.
My point was you saying replacements could be found in later rounds which is not likely and every historical metric backs that up.I think when you look at the money that the Cowboys would have tied up, vs what you are getting in return then you have no choice but to find a couple replacements in the draft.
CB play, and S play has been terrible the last couple years.
