The QB Quandary

[john van brocklin]

This is not a hate/love Dak thread.
This thread is about how do we improve our production at the QB position?
I am curious what concrete solutions other posters have on how we improve the position?
The only rule here is it has to be in the realm of possibility.
So, you can't just say: "cut Dak", it would have to fit the salary cap.
If you can cut Dak and make it work with the cap,
what other player would you bring in that would give us better numbers?

My take is that with the contract Dak has, he is gonna be here awhile.
My solution would be for Mac to redesign the offence into a more West Coast short passing game.
Dak seems to struggle with reading the field, so cut down on the options.

Also invest heavily in the oline with the draft and remaining free agent signings.
Having your center in your lap when you drop back to pass is difficult for any QB to overcome.

If possible go to a more run heavy offense.
We have 2 very good RB's, play to that strength.

I also would love to see Mac in control of the offense/playcalling and not Moore.
Mac's forte is offense and why is making the big bucks.
Let's take advantage of that as well.

Thoughts ?

It will be soon.

 

[john van brocklin]

It will be soon.

Well that would be a shame.
As Cowboy fans we should want the team to excel.
That better the individual positions play the better the chance for overall team success.

He needs a better OL....that's all. He has the goods, just needs time to go through his progressions.

That would be extremely helpful Ranch.
I am hoping they plug the Oline holes soon.

Moore is a dead beat play caller after six games. They need to switch out play callers during the season. And McCarthy needs to take over play calling in the playoffs.

What is the quandary? Dak had one of best seasons statistically in Cowboys history a year after he broke his ankle. He was the Cowboys offensive MVP. He had a bad playoff game along with the rest of the offense. He will be the Cowboys quarterback for the forceable future. Sounds like you trying to start up another Dak thread. Dak is the least of the Cowboys problems.

Nope, with all the moaning about Dak, I want to see some concrete solutions/answers to how these posters think we can improve at the QB position.

Simple........improve the running game. Everything else will take care of itself.

Fix the OL.

That simple.

 

[sunalsorises]

Trade Cooper for a 5th. Sign a free agent receiver coming off a torn ACL. Sign another receiver that may or may not be good. Franchise tag a pretty good TE. Sign a basically unheard of RB. Voila! The offense is fixed.

Or they could cut back on penalties and sure up the O-line. Whichever is easier.

Nothing is changing after 6 years at the QB position. Improve the running game and defense. There, instant improvement. If not, grin and bear it.

Prescott needs more than 5,000 yards and 45 TDs passing, plus 1,000 yards and 15 TDs rushing.

He will never pass their "eye test" regardless of his production.

Ok. I play the game. Brian Broaddus has been hinting that this might be a prove it or lose it year for Dak. He believes this draft will be all about making Dak a better quarterback. If the Cowboys don’t make it to a conference championship game or Dak implodes again in the playoffs, the Cowboys will start looking for Dak’s replacement.

Yea right.........LOL

 

[Hardline]

No need to discuss. Dak and Jerry are basically Siamese twins for the next three years.
They should've solved the QB issue before signing him.

Thanks for the info, That's interesting for sure.

Now remember Broaddus also said the Cowboys might draft a quarterback every 5 years instead of paying the quarterback they have an out rages salary so take it that. Bucky Brooks thinks the Ravens should do that with Lamar.

Would Jerry even allow the reigns to be taken from his golden boy Kellen Moore? My gut says no
