Prescott or Dalton: Who do you want starting

[darthseinfeld]

I think you missed my point. I get it, you don't like Dalton. Moving on.

I like him as a backup. Dont like him at all as a starter.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

You've never heard of Marvin Jones, Mohammed Sanu, Giovanni Bernard and Jeremy Hill before?

That is a list of JAGs. Jones and Sanu have 16 years of play and less thann10k yards between them. Good receivers but nothing special. Same for Bernard and Hill.

 

[pancakeman]

As Romo played that experience made him a better and better quarterback: his increase in understanding of the game far outweighed his physical diminishment with age (until of course his recovery from hits became impossible). I think Dak is the same kind of quarterback. So I'd say not only would Dak be better in 2020 than Dalton, but also Dak starting all of 2020 makes him even better in 2021 and beyond.
Teams not only invest dollars and cap-share into players, as is discussed all the time: they also invest starting experience.

They were both very good #2 and #3 WR's paired with Green and Eifert. Hill and Bernard were a quality tandem during Daltons prime.

The real issue is the integrity of the Cowboys franchise.
I say go with Dalton and end this charade of Prescott thinking he is entitled while being gifted the position from Garrett's incompetence.

Eifert was never more than an average TE and he could never stay healthy

Apples to Oranges; have you seen the Cincinnati offensive line? Who did he have to throw to in 2019? How did Dak do the first 6 games of 2018 without Cooper?

Yeah, exactly.

Right, exactly,

Dak at his VERY WORST, with an average OL and mediocre weapons, was league average statistically and won around half his games.

Dak was NEVER as bad as Dalton was last year. Nice try anyways!

 

[Qcard]

This thread isn't worth a vote!

Why would anyone vote for Dalton?

118 career INTs in 8 seasons tied for 29th in NFL History

14 INTs for Pick 6 in 8 seasons

Dak Haters are so full of Hate they'd rather watch Andy Dalton pursue Brett Favre's NFL record......31 INTs for Pick 6.

Perfect receipe for Lawrence and/or Fields 2020

 

[PAPPYDOG]

36% so far for Dalton.
Hmmm, how things are changing as folks are waking up and realizing what an inept imposter of a QB we have back there!
Greedy too wants to kill our cap for his bank account...The inept will rule the world.

Eifert was one of the big reasons Dalton actually had a good season. If not Eifert's redzone ability in 2015, Dalton doesnt have the season he did

 

[pansophy]

All due respect, there shouldn't be one. I can't imagine a single poster who would rather see Dalton starting over Dak.

All things being equal Dak's ability to make plays with his legs puts him over the line for me. That said, Dalton is likely successful with the weapons and offense that we have and if I consider the cap hit then I could make an argument that Dalton is more than good enough to win with extra cash to build a better team.

If we ask if I would prefer Dalton to Foles, then I definitely would want Dalton and obviously the Eagles were able to win with Foles. So in reality it isn't such a slam dunk for Dak when one factors in the extra cap space it appears he is going to take up.

Ya he had a good year in 2015, his only decent year in the leauge. Dalton had already made the playoffs 4 consecutive years before that 2015 season. Eifort wasn't in the league for 2 of them and the other 2 he was injured alot

Yeah, exactly.

Cooper yes and how about how he did when Zeke was out???
Oh man, those beating from the Falcons, Eagles, Bolts, (2 at home) still hurt.
Ya, he went on to beat his speciality (DOG TEAMS) the Giants, Raiders, and Skins but you get the idea.
Yes, our QB is a needs to be carried type of player who also wants 40 million + a year.
You can wake up now Dak as your future in Big D is non-existent!!!

 

[basel90]

How'd Zeke do?

Zeke wasn’t great either after getting his fat guarantees check . Good stats , but mostly against weak opponents. Same as Dak .
The moral of the situation : don’t overpay

 

[black label]

mabey 8 wins?
go red

 

[DandyDon52]

I do, he is a better pocket passer and a more accurate passer (and i don't mean competion percentage) Dak has one thing he is better at than Dalton and that is his running ability, but after 4 years Dak still hasn't learned how to step up in the pocket and his footwork is still a mess. At this point in his career i don't think those things will change. Dalton also took a Bengals team that had some talent (not as much as Dak has had) but still a good team to the playoffs 4 consecutive seasons. I would like to see an open competition in camp for the starting job (I know it won't happen), i think Dalton would win it over Dak but i would be the 1st around here to congratulate Dak if he beat out Dalton

dalton could wow everyone, and dak struggle, and come game 1 jones boys would say start dak.

yeah dallas only won 4 games last year if you dont count the giants and Commanders lol 4-8
and miami was a easy win too bout the same as giants and skins, so only 3 wins 3-8

It's about wins. Prescott. This notion that we save money and Dalton past his prime would do better......
