Dak is an elite QB and Cooper and Lamb are a great tandem. The OLine is not the dominant OLine theyve had in the past and Zeke is a shell of himself. On defense they have some big names but they do not play very well as a whole

They have a ton of injuries on defense and are flat out bad, if it wasn't for a really bad call on the chargers offense they would be 0-2.

Also Dak isn't elite you need a playoff W at least imo for that.

Hopefully they stay Zeke heavy.   Tony Pollard IMO is the more explosive player and overall better RB at this point.   That started emerging last year.  Not that Zeke is trash.   But losing a step has really altered how scary he is. 

Will be curious to see the usage tonight.  They were about a 50/50 split the week prior.

Dak has a playoff win.  The last time the Cowboys went to the playoffs they advanced a game.

Dak is solid, their receivers are great, Elliott has looked like trash this year and their OL has been bottom 5 in the league.

Their D is mediocre at best. They are not well coached overall.

I'm very confident about this one, even without McCaffrey/Horn. Bouye/CJ will help our D continue to be the best in the league even against a better offense. Darnold will be more of the same. Limit mistakes, a few deep shots to keep the D honest but mostly just steadily moving the ball and putting up enough points to get a convincing victory. 27-13 good guys

According to ESPNs Pass Blocking Win Rate metric, the Cowboys are dead last in the league at around 39%. I think our pass rush will help our depleted secondary this week against one of the better WR corps in the league. We should be able to pressure Dak consistently and not give his WRs much time to get open.

IF if was a fifth.....If the Cowboys wouldn't have left 7 pts. on the board (2 missed FGs and an extra point) they would have beat Tampa opening night and be 2-0. Dak beat Russell Wilson in his lone play off win. 

The Cowboys OL and secondary is sub par. The lack of blocking affects their running game. Their defense is ranked near the bottom of the league and didn't make the Chargers punt. Well, they did force a punt but got a ruffing the kicker penalty.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
