McCarthy and his coordinators are the reason we went 12-5 in back to back years. This team has a QB and WR issue. It idiotically decided to pay Dak and let Cooper walk. 

Never got the zeke extension. Easy to say in hindsight.  Also why let cooper leave?

Dallas fans being too hard on their team. That game was stressful as fuck. Dak and Lamb are gamers and that front 7 is a pain in the ass. Get a lockdown corner and a safety and they are in the Super Bowl.

I was in college when that happened.  I think it was him Bo Scaife, Shanny, and BJ Johnson who did it

I'm actually okay with the decision to pay Dak simply based on how poorly the NFL and Jerry Jones is in particular at drafting QBs.  Yes, Dak is basically Kirk Cousins at this point, but I have zero confidence in the Jones clan identifying, drafting, and coaching up another qb to league average level in the next 5-10 years, if not longer.

Someone pulled their numbers. Same guy and I’m not sure that Kirk has actually played with more talent

The Zeke thing was incredibly easy to predict.  Don't need hindsight or to be a NFL insider to know what was going to happen.

I actually think McCarthy got about as much as can be gotten out of the Cowboys.

As a neutral, I'd have to agree.

This just isn't a championship roster.  It's not even a top 4 roster, to be honest.  They're somewhere between 5 and 8 in the NFL, and that equals divisional round and out more often than not.  This feels like a par to me.

[Horn Draoi 254]

I’m thinking this team has reached their pinnacle with this QB, this OC, and this wildly overpaid RB.  Dad, Dak, Dak………

Exactly, they're old on the OL and in key positions.

If that's the case, I'll enjoy the next few years before it all goes to shit and we trot out the new versions of Quincy Carter, Anthony Wright, Ryan Leaf, Clint Stoerner, Chad Hutchinson, Drew Henson, and the corpses of Vinny Testaverde and Drew Bledsoe over the course of 5-7 years.

I don’t give a shit about Simms, or his hurt feelings, or Shanahan, though I’d kill to have him coach the Boys. I’m certainly not rooting for a Niners SB, ever. I’ll take Philly all day there. Give me either team out of the AFC to upset those morons. 

A perfectly reasonable take for a Cowboys fan. This is a classic meteor game.

[closetohumping 17386]

This team can’t win it all with Dak and seeks contracts.   Great defensive personnel. Receivers are ok.  Not sure about ol

[LTtxfan 48952]

What's it cost for Cowboys to release Zeke now??? 

Edit... found this.    Looks cheaper now

Don’t care if someone else said this. The Defense did their job and held SF under 20. Dak and the offense sucked.

It can’t be said enough. Unfortunately, neither QB was asked to do a whole lot here. I expected more from Dak than I did a rookie who was the last pick in the draft and has only been in 7 starts. Kyle S told Purdy whatever he did to protect that ball. It’s football 101. Defense played well enough for us to win. What we couldn’t do was turn the ball over. Cannot do. A QB with 7 years in the League shouldn’t be making those mistakes in a tight defensive game. I expected that would happen with Purdy who has no real expectation of being the “guy” in SF. But he didn’t throw two picks. That’s a huge difference for me. Jerruh and true Boys are in cap hell because Jerruh is a damn asshole. Fuck Jerruh.

I can now without reservation root unabashedly for the Bengals. They will kick KC’s ass in KC. Sorry my shirt’s luck wore off. I figured we’d get stomped next week. I just wanted to get by SF. Losing Pollard sucks. Our kicker finally was able to get rid of some issues. The difference in a close defensive game was turnovers. We needed to win that battle and we did not. 

[HamsterHookah 112]

The game was lost when Diggs dropped the INT. I also feel like he could have broken up the Kittle tip drill ball that turned the game for good.

Weird similar tar pit dynamics with Dak and Jimbo. Hard to get rid of some folks. Time is a flat circle 

[Nicole44 22027]

I hadn’t really looked at the stats but when Zeke wasn’t being thrown around or trucked he had 26 yds on 10 attempts. How can he be so broken…like Frank Gore was basically 40 and had better stats…I do not understand. We’ll lose Quinn because he is interviewing…this sucks. 

[gmr548 16481]

I don’t know how those of y’all that double dip do it. Watching Texas the past decade-plus has been enough of a kick in the nuts. I can’t imagine waking up the next day and doing it over again with the cowboys.

Well, the alternative is the Texans.

Frank Gore is the outlier.  Zeke is a fairly typical example of how broken an NFL running back gets well before age 30.  He's just out of gas.
