Vander Esch has been good at LB, but they passed on Calvin Ridley last year. Must have been a tough decision.

Including sham and babe, say Dak is holding the ball too long at times. Sometimes I agree with that, you’ve got about 3 seconds. There are times when pressure is in his face by the time he hits his back foot on the drop. you can’t throw it if wrs can’t get sepearation in 3 seconds. You need at least a 5 count for deeper routes.

Vander esch is a beast. We did need a wr like Ridley badly. I hope they use some picks this year on wr talent.

it’s unfair to heep blame on Dak with this wr core. Cooper makes it a lot better. Dak is still developing. you make the biggest strides in year 2/3 in the league. After that, you are what you are.
There is plenty of tape on you, and either you evolve, or you are a marked man.

While it's hard to argue that Dak isn't at least partially responsible for the team's mediocre play this year, there are a few things that I find interesting.

1) Dak's QBR of 90.3 puts him in the same general category as Andy Dalton, Tom Brady, Jimmy G, and Matt Stafford. It's not a good number, regardless, but that's some decent company

2) Dak is second to only Cam Newton in terms of rushing yds by a QB and he's tied with Cam for total TDs this year. Neither of those stats is factored into a QBR rating

3) Even with the addition of Cooper, it is virtually impossible to argue that there's a worse receiver/O-line combo in the NFL aside from possibly Buffalo

Again, I won't sit here and say that Dak's not at all at fault because he's made some bad decisions this year, but it's also a whole lot easier to look good when you have weapons all over the field like KC, LA, and even Philly. If Dallas ends up not extending him, I feel safe in saying that there are probably a dozen teams that would love to give him a shot.

He could make a great living for a long time as a backup. They can make in the millions but I believe he’ll succeed as a starter.

they need to still draft another top WR or trade for one again if not two. Gallup and Beasely should be their third and fourth options. Also, if that tight end doesn't get any better. They need a much better tight end as a safety release on 3 and 8 to get open right at the line like Witten would do. Then go after a few offensive linemen.
