What if we lose to Washington?

Dak is better than Andy, and I do believe back when we had the worst offensive line in all of football that one man was a huge difference. I still don't think Dak numbers were sustainable, if you have to play catchup every week. Zack Martin going out should've reduced that. Going at that pace, week in and out, could lead to injury. And finally, we've seen this here before in inconsistent seasons where the offense puts up a lot of points on week and then does nothing in another game, and eventually a bad team, which this was even with Dak in, tends to give up.
I get it. But this is spanning over the last 16 games. That’s an entire seasons worth of evidence and includes the low scoring games. Dak isn’t just “better than Dalton” that’s a huge understatement and disservice.

Dak is a good qurterback, but he should've taken the deal that he was given. This team has other holes and Dak wasn't good enough last season to get the team beyond 8-8. And this season he won one game, and that was because Atlanta gifted it to him. It's like people are equating him gaining a lot of yards this season in losing efforts to be equal to wins. So we can't quite say that Dak would've won this game, even with another piece like Zack Martin off of the board, a player that some think is the best player on this team.

It just seems weird so many people want to throw in the towel already.....there is no fight left in this fan base. I guess I will just have to lone wolf it then.....

:flagwave:

I for one...still think we have enough to make a charge. Shift some guys around the offensive line....then maybe we jell....and take off. Defensively....maybe getting Gregory, Lee and Chido back make a difference. I still think your going to see more 4-3 as the season progresses....or changes will be made in the coaching staff. I just can't see us giving up 35pts a game all season long.

Clearly you have not been watching the same team as everyone else. This team is a joke, they have quit on their coach, who is a bigger joke and one of the biggest frauds in NFL history. Jerry needs to CLEAN HOUSE after this season is over and find someone in the Sean McVeigh mold, not some fat worthless retread like McCarthy.

oh...I've been watching. I thought today would be the day w/ our backs against the wall...they would find a way to scrap out a W. Instead...this was just confirmation....what most expected. This team has quit on this staff. It's a bad situation.

no one is equating stats to wins. What people ARE doing is attributing wins to the qb solely. Which is much more egregious. When gaudy stats don’t lead to wins, that obviously diminishes them, but in a vacuum they definitely tell a story. When you then directly compare them to another guy who’s mustering complete garbage in your absence, yeah it’s pretty telling. Not sure how you arrive to anything but that conclusion.

and I’d have loved him to take the deal, and think it was extremely fair. Saying he should’ve taken it though means you don’t know what you’re talking about, despite the evidence unfolding in front of your face, dramatically.

The evidence in front of my face is this: Last year with Dak we were good enough to go 8-8. This year Dak won one game and lost the others and was on pace for a season worse than 8-8. So, so far Dak has only shown us that he is good enough to take this current talent to 8-8 or less. If you allocate all your finacial resources to the Quarterback and you have nothing left financially to upgrade away from your problem areas on this team, how is that a winning formula? If anything, to me, this just proves that the team shouldn't go past a certain amount on what they are willing to pay Dak.

Gotcha. I disagree with you whole heartedly and completely.

I see an all time bad defense, and comical special teams blunders and league high turnovers. If we want to talk unsustainable, I think those three things are much more fluky and likely to regress.
Coupled with the fact that actually signing Dak to a deal (however large) allows money to be moved around creatively to address other needs. Along with good draft placement.

but sure, it’s Dak. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you read my response in another thread about how much I would pay dak, I posted I'd offer him the contract he just turned down again. So I'm not exactly somebody who isn't willing to pay Dak, but I'm not willing to go beyond that. I think offering him that is fair, because we don't know if he will be the same Dak when he comes back. I don't like my quarterbacks to run, and back in 2016 I praised Dak for learning something that it took romo to learn that is to pass the ball before you reach the line of scrimage. He at some point stop doing that, and who knows as one gets more injury besides losing a step people tend to become injury prone as well. To me, it is sheer lunacy to think that what Dak wanted before he got injured would be still a reality now, after there are more unknowns about how he will come back after that nasty injury.

I seriously don’t think we’ll win another game. This defense is that bad.

Is this the defining moment of the season? Do we start the fire sale of players? Who will be to blame? Will Jerry fire McCarthy like he did Wade Phillips?

Things have been bad....And I just can't see how anyone can keep the statues quo if we lose. Is it rock bottom?

Comments? :rolleyes:
Well they did lol, so we will soon find out if mike still has a job lol.
And they didnt just lose , they got dominated and embarrassed by wash, plus wash takes out dalton with a cheap shot, and no reaction
from cowboy players.

You are completely wrong.. paying Dak $40 mil just handicaps further. He's a good QB. He's not an elite QB and he never will be no matter how bad you guys want him to be. Your trying to do Football math here. With Dak we were in every game. It's not the same now, you can tell th last 2 weeks this isn't even the same team Dak had earlier this year.

Daks time has come and passed. It's over.

Rebuild time and get a new QB on rookie contract, rebuild around the defense and O line.

I can agree with that. Start with that next time
