We are so far away from attempting a flea flicker. That's an automatic scoop and score for the opposing d

We have never even sniffed that level of trickeration in the franchise's history. It's almost like the team is wired to be boring and conservative in its play. A bit like the Titans actually.

Cowboys need to move on from Dak. He's the problem. That team has the talent, the QB just isn't very good.

 

Also why the hell does NBC keep showing these players parents and telling their life story. So cringe. We want to watch football not discuss a players mom and dad.smh

A lot of cowboys fans have been jaded at best with Dak for a while now. There's a reason why they picked up trey Lance out of the blue

I've always thought that he's basically an average starter. Not bad but far from great. He's an asset on a rookie contract but becomes a liability when he's eating up a huge chunk of your cap.

Dude. You grin from ear to ear when they show celebs on the sidelines at Colorado games.

I think Dak kinda bamboozled them by overshooting his draft position by being a decent game manager while zeke was in his prime first few seasons and they had an incredible offensive line. Dak always gets exposed when he goes against upper echelon defenses because he was never a top 10 level QB. Cowboys fans are frustrated because they've already seen his ceiling repeatedly that's why they just can't get passed the 49ers

    • We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
