Dak was impressive, but so was Kapernick with his OL and Gore. Young Murray was impressive too.

The 2 biggest problems for Dallas are (1) Scot McCloughan [I am so glad he is not in our division], who is the best college talent evaluator in the NFL [And yaw'll know how I feel about Ted]; and (2) Jerry Jones.

Jones is a degenerate football gambler, who goes for the brass ring when it is reach and those guys NEVER are successful. When he tries to compete with McCloughan by co-opting players with huge upsides and injuries to their bodies or brains, he will eventually rain Armageddon down on his franchise.

That is what made Seattle a few years ago, before Russell and others got paid. New Orleans before Brees got paid. Could even look at the Packers and how they have had to make more tough decisions once they paid Rodgers and Matthews.

Seattle had 3 great drafts because Schneider had Ted's draft board and Scot McCloughan. 4th year and after w/o those 2 things, pretty much zilch. Yes a cheap Wilson helped, but the cache of talent in those drafts was historic.

Jones has screwed his team over so it dont matter even if ya get a cheap Zeke and Dak.

for comparison: Ted has 51M in cap space [after Shields Gioun and Starks are cut] and he can go to battle with the players signed right now for 2017.

Dallas is NEGATIVE 3M under the cap. They cant do much with Romo; he'll cost 24M next year or 19M in dead cap if they trade or cut him [though they will owe 50M more in 2018 and 19].

And they have as UFAs Starters: T. Williams, Leary, Claiborne, Church, J. Crawford, DT McClain. and some good depth in Wilcox, Gachkar, Escobar, Dunbar, Durant, McFadden and Butler.
