It’s the part.

On the rare occasion a defense & run game will carry a team to a Super Bowl.

9 times out of 10 you’re watching a Hall Of Fame QB lift up the award.

Name a HOF QB and I will name the HOF players who played on that same team. Aikman is in the HOF guess what so is Emmitt and so is Irvin and they had as much to do with the success of those teams as did many others.

It is not a cliché that is fact and always has been. You want to sit there and act as if the only player that matters is QB be my guest but that is about as foolish and stupid as if gets. A lot goes into building a championship and while QB is a very important part of that, it is still 1 part.
Agreed. And Kellen Moore as usual gets all the credit and none of the blame. Jerry chose to hire him as offensive coordinator when we could have hired a super bowl winning off coordinator. This is yet another reason that handicaps our team, hiring inexperienced coaches who have the luxury of learning on the job.

Keep in mind we beat Brady in week one if Zuerline could mk extra points and field goals.

Yeah.. Dak’s best game of his career imo.

The season has ups and downs though. Playoffs are all that matters.

Also, 1-4 shows the trend against good QBs isn’t some mistake.

Just like 0-5 when we don’t rush for 100 yards isn’t an accident.

Our team is good enough. Is the QB???

Ive watched this QB go to KC and our defense hold Mahomes to 19 points and he couldn’t score a TD. Lol

Our team is good at times, other times they make big mental mistakes that hurt us and cost us.

Would be nice if the 40 million dollar player didn’t require the smoothest of sailing to captain his boat.

For the most part I don't have an issue with Kellen Moore, that does not mean I agree with every call he makes but overall this offense has not been bad. As for late yes they have had more struggles and it falls to him to get this offense back and playing good ball.

Losing Tyron for a few games, Zack Martin missed time, losing Gallup for 6 or 7 games, losing Cooper for a couple and Lamb. Dak has had to deal with less than ideal conditions yet you are so agenda driven you don't care to look. I have made no excuses in terms of injuries and yet this teams is still 11-5 including 6-2 on the road.

Kyler had players missing and beat a better team.. Game is about the QB.

Packers had nearly 15 people missing. Vikings didn’t have Cousins. Got blown out. Cause.. Game is about the QB.

And I know I can’t prove it but I promise you the Vikings win that game if they have Rodgers and the Packers have Mannion.

No that is what you see, your entire focus is QB in a team sport, I think it is a critical position which is why we see the higher price tag for QB but there is a lot more than just QB to win in this league.

Good luck with your prehistoric way of thinking. I’m watching the new NFL though and the new NFL is about QBs because of the parity the salary cap has caused.

It’s pretty cool when you get a legit QB. You get to watch teams like the Bengals go from awful to winning their division and doing it against Mahomes. Amazing what QB play can do for any team.

Yeah you can't follow the game so you look at QB without a frieken clue and you try to pass yourself off as an expert? LOL Hate to tell you even the old NFL put guys like Bart Starr in the HOF and his play even back then mattered. Meanwhile Tenn with Tannehill who has 17 TD and 14 ints and sure as hell is not the best QB in the NFL has his team as #1 seed in AFC, so this notion it is all about QB is a load of BS by a simple minded fan.

No I can follow the game. I’ve been doing it forever. I’m questioning if you do and that’s why you’re so simple minded and use old cliches that no longer apply.

We didn’t lose to the Cardinals because they had a better team. We lost because their QB was making plays and our guy was in a shell.

It’s not a defensive league. Don’t depend on defense ever. Especially against good QBs and when you spend all of your resources on offense and they are completely inept.
The first 5 picks this past draft were all defense
The 2nd, 3rd & 4th picks in the 2020 draft were on defense.
The top picks in 2017, 2018 & 2019 were on defense.

And you say all resources are spent on offense?

our guy did not play great and still threw 3 TD passes on the game. We had other mistakes that were made but again you are so agenda drive and blind to dumb to the facts of other players play within the game. That is on you

I don’t care that he put up points late. His team needed him much sooner. It’s a dumb arugument that you think is clever and it might be if it wasn’t something he’s done numerous times in his NFL career.

He got us back within striking distance with close to 5 min left to play, I have said several times I was not happy with his overall play or the overall play of a lot of guys. Evidently mentally you are only capable of watching the QB but I get it that is where the TV camera focus beyond that you really are clueless.

Not that simple a set of solutions...

Yes. They are playing catch up to what they have invested picks and money into.

Very obvious to everyone where Dallas uses it’s resources. It’s not to you because of a draft?
