He played 1 full game in a Cowboys jersey and it was for 266.Yeah. In a Cowboys jersey?
Acting like he’s incapable of throwing for that many is asinine.

This is a fanbase of quitters.going into week 10 out of 17
It is 100 percent feasible that Dalton starts putting up 20+ points a game by the end of the season.
The defense is improving. They are not going to be a shut down defense, but with Dlaw, Gregory, and Smith, they might start more getting turnovers and sacks
special teams is showing improvement
nfc east is open
We can't make a run in the playoffs right now, but by the end of the season who knows. Injuries hurt other teams as well. You never know.
I just don't get it. Why root against them, when there is a clear path to the playoffs. Anything can happen.
He put up 50 yards of offense against The Football Team in a half of football. You pumping his tires is asinine when hes done nothing wearing the Star to warrant the praise.He played 1 full game in a Cowboys jersey and it was for 266.

Seems a lot of fans are just happy with 8-8 and complaining as long as its not about the QB. They don't want SB wins just average.
It trips me out as though the anything can happen, just get to the playoffs crowd are certifiably insane.
List the starting QBs accompanied by their accomplished coaching staffs that would hafta have season ending injuries in order for Dallas to genuinely make a run?
They've already lost to Wilson and Ben...
I would bet my mortgage on not beating Rodgers, Brees or Brady or Jackson and Mahommes.
Dallas ain't beating those QBs/coaches.
Take the higher draft pick.
At least the odds increase of future roster improvement.
Making this year's playoffs.
Accomplishes nothing and actually sets the roster back even further.
It ain't Rocket science.
Yeah, cue the quitter trolls, lol.
Reality is a ..... lol
What I'm thinking more than anything is they will let Dalton go next year and they want to hide Gilbert so they can retain him for cheap. No point in showcasing him only to end up with a mid round pick and a 1st round playoff exit and then lose Gilbert to free agency.
Weak way to look at it. The team gains confidence, skill, improves, and comes together as a team if they don't tank. They have a path to the playoffs, and time to improve. The coaches have time to improve and make this a team.
You don't throw that away for a higher pick
The historical success of this organization's picking higher in the draft paved the way for future successes.
89, 90 and 91 drafts led to success of the early 90s window of prosperity.
A more recent example but not quite as successful was 2016's haul.
Other organizations like Vermeils Rams and all the losing years and high picks it had leading up to picks like Holt and Pace and their mini run with Warner.
As well as other examples of teams sucking for a couple/few years and then cashing in on picking high.
The counter would be the Browns and Lions who have picked high for many years with no apparent success.
Dallas has shown when picking higher they pick HOF level talent or close to it and at least "sort of" (lately that is, lol)contend for the playoffs.
Hoodie is the outlier for always picking lower but remaining successful but I guess Brady played a big role in that as evidenced this year.
But in my opinion, the Cowboys "usually" pick well towards future success with higher pick options. The current roster needs high picks in all draft rounds to improve the chances towards future success.
My opinion.
Now this is funny...lmao.. bravo!Cough cough
"The current roster needs high picks in all draft rounds to improve the chances towards future success."
You can tank every season for that outlook.
The cowboys get Dak, Tryon, Collins, Hill, and Jarwin back next season.
My opinion is that it would better the team, if they dont tank. It would be better if they fight for every game, win, improve, the coaching staff gets settled, backups and young guys get experience, attitudes are good, and maybe they make a run.
Then next year, they add a bunch of important players back, and draft picks
