Signed by Cowboys Cowboys to sign LS Jake McQuaid The L.P. Ladouceur era is over

[Carson]

Wow, the one position we couldn't possibly improve on is where we made our move.

DT? Nah
FS? Nope
CB? Not quite
LB? Getting warmer

Long snapper baby! The most consistent guy on our squad gets replaced day one lol

I didn't see any issue with LPs play he's been stellar. Has his blocking declined at all?

Either Fassel just wanted his guy or Cowboys didn't want a long snapper keep the all-time game record. I've always said it would be nice if the long snapper was able to play another position too like backup guard, dline, etc. to save a rostet spot. However, sad to see LP go.

There's been no drop off with LP, but the time was going to come sooner or later for the Cowboys to find a replacement. McQuaide was available so they went ahead and pulled the trigger. McQuaide has been a Pro Bowler so it's not a bad signing at all; and he's seven years younger than Ladouceur.

Although I don't think the all-time games record was a deciding factor; you can't help but think a team with Dallas' history didn't want a longsnapper to hold that distinction though.

Sounds like Jerry couldn't allow his buddy Witten to be surpassed. That is why the Cowboys will never succeed with Jerry running things.

First thing came to mind..never had a bad snap..and you get rid of the guy ...smh

After 16 seasons, the L.P. Ladouceur era in Dallas is over with the Cowboys and the club is talking with with long snapper Jake McQuaid of the Rams, according to sources. Ladouceur spent 16 seasons with the Cowboys and would have set the franchise record for most games played in 2021. He played in 253 games, two behind the all-time leader Jason Witten. Ladouceur, 40, did not have a poor snap in his entire career. McQuaid would be reunited with coordinator John Fassel and kicker Greg Zuerlein.

Dang, sad to see Ladoceur leave. The last Parcells-era Cowboy and the last of the current Cowboys to have played at Texas Stadium.

Hard to believe the quarterback here was Drew Bledsoe when Ladouceur arrived. Time really does fly.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

You know? I'm starting to wonder. Texas Stadium was the House of Champions. When we left, was that because Jerry knew we weren't champions anymore?

And I was in 6th grade when Ladouceur arrived. Oh, and Sean Lee is now the last active Cowboys to have played under Wade Phillips.

Becuz we are letting a LS go..Jerrah gets plunked. The hate knows no end.
Seriously..Witten is protected in the obscure record books. Bill Bates..sleep well tonight.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Why do I have a feeling that if the Cowboys re-signed Ladouceur they would be getting hate for keeping a 40 year old snapper while other teams are making big moves?

Dallas' big move was on March 8. Best just to accept that and get ready for the draft.

If you guys are curious how powerful the Cowboys marketing arm is, people are genuinely upset that we’re replacing a 40 year old long snapper.

Now use this as an opportunity to think about what other players you may have been manipulated into overvaluing thanks to an annual multi-million dollar media campaign.

and maybe you should use this as an opportunity to understand just how important a player is that NEVER blew a snap in 16 years. But then you don;t seem to understand much about the game....

 

[Risen Star]

And if you don't believe LP being two games behind Saint Jason of Knoxville on the all time games record didn't have at least some impact on this you do not appreciate the level of moron in our front office.

 

[speedkilz88]

Can they not do this Rams thingy again, I wasn't impressed with kicker.

Zuerlein made 83% of his fgs with long of 59

I know for a fact that had a lot to do with it; but the Cowboys can hide it behind the fact McQuaide is seven years younger than LP; has a history with Bones Fassel and Greg Zuerlein, and that LP would have had to be replaced eventually anyway.

Well then if we know Jerry like we do the Cowboys will be eliminated from playoff contention this year by a muffed snap.

Yesssss, leave it to this FO to get right to the crux of the matter with this team. I was wondering when they were going to address this major weakness.

 

[Corso]

So... how many snaps has McQuaid blown?
For all you guys focusing like a laser drill on that...

 

[Mr_437]

Zuerlein made 83% of his fgs with long of 59

Kia Forbath was 100%

 

[Corso]

Lol... looks like he hasn't blown a snap yet in a long career and he's been a multiple pro bowler recently.

Dweebs.

 

[Zekeats]

Nice of Jerry to make sure his boy Witten keep the record and not some long snapper.

Good ole Jason Qwitten
