so you seem to think so highly of Dalton.....proof is in the pudding...he is 0-5 in the playoffs and lets see how he does in Dallas.......opinions are like a-holes. everyone is got one....
He is 0-5 playing for the cheapest franchise in the NFL.

He also did that in the HARDEST division in the NFL. Those Steelers and Ravens teams were in his division, not the softies Dak has.

Understand context, please.

wow, excuses for Dalton are already starting.

so you just raised my expectation. he is playing for an owner that is willing to pay and has the resources that as you said he never had in an easy division. if he doesn't go 11-0 I would be disappointed.

well, that's exactly what I am saying...my response was meant to be sarcastic....

No it wasn't, you were trying to pull a gotcha on "the other side", but it actually works both ways. Personally, I'm sick of all this player fanboyism. We should all be rooting for the team.

Stop crying in your Dak bottle.

The truth is, the final record will be the same as it would have been anyway with your $40 million quarterback.

This team is garbage. That was clearly obvious when Dak was scrambling to beat the worst team in football in the 4th quarter.

WOW, your dak hate is beyond anything I have seen outside of Khiladi.....

but its also funny, you are already lining up excuses. Before Dak's injury it was why is he costing us games and not scoring every drive, every quarter.

now, with Dalton at the helm, same resources..."the team is garbage"...

you all are just too funny....

like I said, you made your bed....you lie in it....lets see how dalton does....therre are 11 games to go......

Wasted five years of baby-sitting Dak, to the point we got to build the roster again. I’ve said it over and over and over again, so Dak-stans trying to tap about some alleged inconsistency are spewing forth hot air.

The SB window was opportune with Romo and the way Zeke was running, but this FO hitched itself to this mediocrity at QB. This is the difference between a garbage franchise like the Jets trying to build a franchise around with a QB pick like Sam, with what Dallas did with Dak. Further, Gase is a train wreck as a HC. The Cowboys on the other hand catered a loaded franchise for a mediocre QB they had to completely simplify the offense for, while giving up two first rounders for Cooper after the first Dak experiment failed and then bring in guys like Lamb.

And we, including Dak-stans, all know that this team was loaded at offense this year and why every Dak-stan and their mother among them was talking about three 1000 yard WRs. They also were quick to tell us how much Wentz was sucking compared to Dak and how this team was set to shatter records offensively and carry us to the Sb. And they were and are back to making the same excuses for this bum at QB.

Clownish response.

We've all been calling them garbage all year. Where have you been?

And yes, I've said Dak is not an elite quarterback. Because he isn't. Anybody with a real eye for football knows this. The Cowboys know this, or he'd be signed right now.

If Mahomes was here, we'd probably be 5-0.

The team is garbage. Have you been watching or are you listening to games on the radio?

And Dak isn’t even that great at throwing the deep ball. He’s a one-read QB, that took three years to even start taking advantage of the isolation routes guys like Gallup and Cooper were facing on a regular basis. All his deep yardage is basically thar, otherwise against zone coverages he very rarely takes risks and throws deep.

It’s interesting because I actually had another stop route on that play and they were, if you were watching, really sitting on those stop routes. And I was like, this is ridiculous. So when I broke the huddle I was kind of mad and I was like, Dak come on. And he was just like, just run it bro. And I guess he thought about it again and he kind of signaled a go route and I was elated when he did that. And I took off, caught the ball, and scored.

https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/201...e-on-his-75-yard-touchdown-against-the-eagles

The fact is, that is all Dak has taken advantage of and any QB worth a grain of salt would do it regularly. Cooper had to yell at him in the middle of the game to throw the go-route because Schwartz had his CBs sit on the routes, with NO SAFETY HELP on Cooper. Schwartz didn’t even defend Goff that way, Cooper had to bail this incompetence out and yet, all we hear is about how it’s Cooper’s fault.

Having Cooper as a weapon against man defenses has improved the entire offense, as Prescott’s game has been elevated to new heights against man defenses, including a 48-point jump in IQR.

Comp % Y/A TD INT IQR
Pre Amari 52% 6.2 3 3 71
With Amari 61% 8.8 8 1 119

Despite this massive jump in production against man defense, Prescott has not had nearly as much success against a zone defense and his IQR has dropped from 100 to 84 with Cooper on the roster. Though he has an 80 percent completion percentage versus zones, it’s almost entirely short-pass based. He has no touchdowns and two interceptions on 91 attempts

It will be interesting to see if the Colts zone-heavy defensive scheme will be the answer to finally stopping Prescott and Cooper this weekend.

And it’s no surprise that when the Colts shadowed a safety over to the side of Cooper, Dak went scoreless.

This is more than enough evidence to point out how much of a one-read QB Dak is. Even with Lamb now from the slot, you can see Dak never taking his eyes of him. That amazing catch from the slot by Lamb, but it almost resulted in him getting his head taken head off. 52 against the Browns read Dak twice in a row on play-action going to his first read and had a would-be INT if he didn’t let it sail right through his hands, when he jumped the route. And the DBs at the end of the game with the Browns jumped the Cooper route, because Dak did the same thing earlier on the TD, but the CB took a bad angle but read Dak all the way.

Dak’s game is solely built if play-action. He’s been faking the run and going directly to his first read immediately, over and over and over again. He was just begging for multiple INT games. The Browns should have had like 8.

None of this had anything to do with other played faults and it reveals the limitations Moore is and Linehan had to work with.

Its crazy how the local media and most of Cowboys twitter isnt hyping up this dime thrown by Dalton and catch by Gallup, all because Dak didnt make that pass

Goes to show folks have an agenda and like Dak more than they like the Cowboys :facepalm:


People are playing the race card here as the reason I don’t like Dak, doing this while I am talking about how Dak is not even to be put in the same breath as Mahomes and I’d love for Mahomes to be starting here. They think their slick though...

Yeah, he could have come in a completely blown it and half the board would be saying, "that's the reason he's a backup." Instead he comes in, has a very good game 9/11 for 111yds in about 1 quarter work. Can't ask much more than that from a #2.

Plus we doubled our win total....

Somebody mentioned on that thread, that even when they give him credit, they got to preface it with, “Even though he’s not as talented as Dak”...

Yeah sure buddy, the “Red Rifle” is not as talented as the one-read QB, whose been padding his stats against bum teams in his Senior Year and was a fourth-round draft pick to the second-year draft pick.

The feeble mind immediately reverts to that kind of nonsense because that's a lot easier to demonize the opposition rather than actually debate them

When people pull that crap on me I just take it as a compliment because it's a clear-cut admission that their argument lacks merit against mine

The funny thing is, both Dak and Mahomes are the product of inter-racial marriages... One of their parents is white. I just laugh when I hear such nonsense and like I said, they think they are slick with it.

Understand context, please.
Shouldn't having made it to the playoffs in a tough division help you be better than 0-5?

one is a franchise QB. the other one is a never has been and washed up. whose team desparately tried to trade him even for a 7th round pick and there were no takers. he didn't get signed by any of the teams out there, all of who chose to go with other players that are just as bad and washed up (SD, Carolina, Jax, Indy, New England, Miami)....all of whom signed washed up and average QB, none took Dalton......

you sound like you are focused on business end of it, trying to save money instead of focusing on what we need to win.

lets wait and see Dalton's results before declaring victory. He has at his disposal what Dak had.... don't thump your chest yet. we beat and 0-5 team, and we had the lead when he came in and had to pull out a miracle win.


At least five teams, including the Jags, Jets, Bears, and Pittsburgh wanted Dalton.....
