An actual GM, discipline, killer instinct, solid effort, a running game, a QB that doesn’t disappear in the playoffs against good teams, a sense of urgency, not to lead in penalties for once, LBs, DT help, clock management, RB

[@russellayers3408]

What's missing is an owner that doesn't allow his ego to get in the way of an established culture of professionalism and excellence. Something they haven't had in 30 years.

[@Bromas1976]

💯 Percent. Jerry has shown time and again he doesn't care about that team winning, just as long as he stays relevant in the media.

[@russellayers3408]

@@Bromas1976 And what's worse is you have guys like Michael Irvin who pomp pomp literally everything Jerry does like it's what's best for the team rather than being objective and critical of what they do year after year. They are the Kardashians of the NFL. They're entertainment darlings and nothing more. It's glamour over substance

The worst part about being a Dallas cowboy fan if you’re a normal human as you get lumped in with all the psychotic less than human cowboy fans that troll the media, I wouldn’t want to be a cowboy fan either just because of their fans, their fans are disgusting, immature, and delusional And I’ve got millions of KZbin video proof of that. The only team fans that come close to that is LA dodger fans, but I wouldn’t want to be root for either team just because of the established fan base are unbearable, that normal fans get lumped in with them. I feel bad for the normal Dallas and Dodgers fans, but I hope your teams still choke in the playoffs every year.

MENTAL TOUGHNESS at the QUARTERBACK POSITION!! If the Cowboys could ever find a QB that has some actual "DAWG IN HIM", that would be the beginning of reverse transformation for actual success in Dallas_ Until they can find a true gritty strong-willed FIELD GENERAL under center, the mediocrity will continue it's hilarious/shameful cycle💯💯 and by Christmas time, we'll be back at First Take to listen to our favorite Cowboy song again...😁😂😂😉#The Accident😎😎

As great a leader as Jimmy was, Troy was the ultimate general on the field for those teams too cuz they did not want to let him down... I said this before and I will say it again: Dak is NOT a DAWG_ He's simply just a DOG.. PERIOD.

Thank you, Coach. I'm not sure why this is so hard for many to understand. Who cares if we have to find another QB. Dak has not and will not take us anywhere, and I have 8 years of data to prove it. Risk vs reward. 60M (give or take) to lose in the wild card.... No thank you. I'll take my chances with the backup and/or draft.

[@dakdelusionalfanswithmoree4856]

Herm Edwards spoke the truth you paid to win in playoffs dak needs to go

[@ChrisSmith-tu9bu]

Defensive Tackles, Running Back, and SOME depth

[@Nu_Doom]

Dak isn’t good enough to come out of the NFC. Second let’s say they get to a superbowl. They can’t beat the top 4 teams in the AFC, so no go.

[@JoeyV1990]

Coaches that know how to adjust IN GAME to what the other team is doing. That’s number one. Mike McCarthy started to get things going as the season progressed last year using motion as apart of their offensive scheme but wasn’t able to fully adapt it into their playbook. Dan helped McCarthy to a degree with understanding how to help the offensive side of the ball recognize how to use it to beat defenses. However, Dan wasn’t a master of stopping it himself. That is what Zimmer brings to the table. To help Mike, dak, and the offense recognize how to beat defenses in a different way- while also- on the other side- be able to stop those types of mobile offenses and motion- type offenses aka- shanahan offenses and his tree ( Kyle shanahan, mcshay, mcdaniels, kingsberry). As far as talent goes, they need to be healthy. Last year they had safeties playing linebacker. And offenses knew how to run the ball against our defense when we had 205lbs safeties trying to stop the run lmao. The rest is performance from the players. But again, it’s coaching and IN-GAME play calling and adjustments. Every one of Dallas’s losses last year they lost the same way. And against Green Bay- all those same deficiencies showed up in one day and it was a complete disaster and the coaches were not able to put the players in the best position.

[@doityourselfrcdrew6807]

What’s missing is a competent GM! A true GM would’ve known we needed help at linebacker and defense last year! Instead he allowed them to limp onto the field against a younger faster Green Bay team! Dak threw 2 picks but that wasn’t what killed us! It was the 50 points that defense allowed!

[@throwthe9route92]

They are missing Patrick Mahomes.

[@AndreCollins-l4x]

Troy,Emmitt, micheal, deon,harper,Jimmy John, Haley, etc!

[@gabrielv.2647]

New QB is what they need. They have changed/upgrade almost every single position on both sides of the ball, coaches included, Guess what??? same results, what haven't they changed the last 10 years? The QB... It's time

[@jonathanreid6196]

Not even close….our run defense was awful last year, and one of the most important statistics in the post season. An effective running game and run defense is tried and true. Outside of Zeke’s 125 yard effort against Green Bay in 2016 they’ve averaged about 52 yards on the ground in the other 4 losses. That isn’t going to get it done. Not just Dak’s fault.

[@frankieclayton9303]

Dallas shall need to come together and y'all need to get this done because it's been too long and together you stand divided you fall and should not be over money I understand you get me to get paid we all do but there's so many people don't have the money and assets that you get and you're going to get paid but y'all need to come together and get this stuff done at accomplished because so many people are

[@PaulCarterama]

Jerry Jones said it when he let Jimmy go. He said any 500 coaches can win with this team. He truly believes that all it takes is talent to win. That is why they lose, not only in the playoffs but in the regular season when they play teams equally as talented. They get out schemed, out coached by better organizations. The coaches can only do so much under JJ as well. I love my Cowboys but I am embarrassed of the JJ circus.

Exactly you cant find anyone better than Dak besides like mahomes or someone that's locked in on another team. Dak is a all pro qb who had a mvp caliber season and has had a top 3 offense every year. You get rid of Dak then you might win 5 games a season if your lucky. 12-5 three years in a row is hard to do and you wont find anyone else to do it
