Free Agency 2024 Thread!!

Colin Cowherd just posted a very sobering set of stats to prove how average Dak is:

30+ Rush Attempts: Dak is 53-7

Fewer than 30 Rush Attempts: Dak is 20-34

If the team has 100+ Rush Yards in a Game: Dak is 64-17

If the team has less than 100 Rush Yards in a Game: Dak is 9-24

Umm...that's not good. A real franchise QB should be able to put a team on his back and win if the running game struggles. 9 wins when the team runs for less than 100 yards? NINE????

Or is it better to try and win it all this year, then if we fall short, let him walk and get a 4th round comp pick when he signs somewhere else?

That would require us to make some upgrades wouldn’t it? Can’t solely rely on Draft like we have been doing or you eventually end up with a draft class like 2023, a bunch of bench riders or rotational pieces.

Um... that's pretty much EVERY QB because when you're winning, you run the ball late.  When you're losing, you're throwing the ball.  

Go look at how many 4QC and GWD Dak has compared to every other QB in the league right now.  He's Top 5 despite not being in the league as long as many of them (Rodgers)

According to this he's ninth in both.

I think he was near tops in the league in these categories from 2016-2018, if memory serves. Since then, not so much. Most Cowboys games since 2019 are decided before the fourth quarter starts.

Dak had 8 4QC's and 14 GWD's his first three seasons. In his last five he has 6 4QC's and 8 GWD's, including a staggering 0 of each in 2019

Good catch - I should have double checked instead of going off memory from a couple years ago.

All good. I do think it’s interesting that he used to be good for about five comebacks a year and now it’s more like one or two, but I think it’s mostly a reflection of McCarthy’s Cowboys being better than Garrett’s

Just for comparisons sake:

Philly and Dallas both finished with double digit wins but got curbstomped in Post Season.

Philly lost their best Olinemen and Dlinemen to retirement.

Philly in FA so far:

RB Saquaon Barkley

DE Bryce Huff

LB Zach Baun

 

Dallas in FA so far:

Lost a C, DE, DE, OT

0 signings

So, this is what "All In" looks like?

This fu×!#&g guy has to die already!

Either that or just sell the team to a real owner.

You knew this would happen though just like the rest of us.

Does it disappoint me?  A little bit but I've come to expect it.  Does it impact the quality of my life?  Not in the slightest.  I like the info and opinions on this site and I like stirring the pot once in a while.
