You bet me that Dak would have a better season than Mahomes.

You don't know football, bro. Move along now.
LOL.

Victory lap, take your bows. Mahomes had 5 tds yesterday, all of which i could have thrown.

Congrats!

Maybe you didn't watch the second half of last season or the playoffs.

Prescott is done
Maybe you didn't actually watch the playoffs... the defense, sp. teams, AND coaching didn't show up. Unless you disagree?

It wasn't just Dak.

Look at this guy lol

Dak being horrible has you an emotional wreck. I told you not to get your hopes up but you just wouldn't listen.

It's truly amazing how confidently wrong you can be.
So bc there is an injury, that means you now lose the bet?

That wasn't the wording you used when you introduced the bet btw. It was, unless they miss 4 games, then it is off. Not lose.

FYI, Mahomes had 5 tds twice last year and still lost to Dak in this bet. Unfortunately, we will never know how this would have turned out. So, again, take your victory lap because Dallas is in for a horrendous season and you are soooo smart.

:facepalm:

I don't care about the bet.

I just think it's funny how confidently wrong you can be about football related stuff.

At least you showed up after being so wrong. That's more then I can say for some of your buds.

For those that were on the fence it's time to face the music. Dak just isn't good. He's an injury waiting to happen at this point and he requires elite players everywhere to even look halfway decent. When Dak is your QB the margin of error with the rest of the roster is incredibly small. The Teddy Bridgewater's and Garner Minshews of the world would look better right now. I mean, I thought Rush looked better.

So we have 3 options here:

Do we try to get a QB through the draft like Mahomes, Burrow, Herbert, or Allen?

Do we sign a QB like Tampa did with Brady?

Do we trade for a QB like the Rams did with Stafford?


Personally, with us being stuck with the injury prone and not good Dak Prescott I think we should draft a 1st rounder THIS YEAR with our high draft pick we'll have. This years draft is supposed to be very high on QB talent. This is the year we should do it.

We can put him behind Dak and let him learn and as soon as Dak can be let go we let him go.

It's time to take the QB seriously again for the first time since Aikman.


While not a fan of Dak, his contract is such that trading for a QB is not an option given any quality QB would have a high salary and as such Dallas would be stuck with 2 highly paid QB's on their roster. In terms of free agency, there is no quality QB to bring as it stands now and during the off-season we are in the same position with Dak on the payroll. The last option of drafting a quality QB in the 1st round would be the most affordable option but still leaves Dak stuck on the roster for at least another season before Dallas can do anything with him and certainly there would be a lot of animosity on behalf of Dak in this event.

Whether it's best for Dallas or not, Dak is here to stay for at least another 2 seasons (2022 & 2023) based on his current contract.

Yeah. Look how much those FA's cost. Carr is the only one who I would consider a FA signing.

The other guys were vet minimum guys who didnt even make it thru the season.

I am talking about going out and getting a Wagner, or a Von Miller. Someone that will contribute right away. The fact they didnt have a swing tackle on this team is mind boggling given Tyrons history,
They weren't. McCoy and Poe both got around 5-6 mil. I think HaHa did too, not sure.

1 week is not being wrong. It is called "Week 1"

I can remember the Patriots taking the worst beating ever in week 1 by the Bills.... shut out and gave up like 40 points. They won the super bowl.

Last year, Packers lost 38-3. Everyone was saying they were crap etc. They ended up the #1 seed.

2014- We got throttled by the 49ers and ended up a Dez blown call away from the next round and who knows.

There are a million other examples. Crazy stuff happens week 1. That is why it is absurd to draw any conclusions about a team after this week. After 3-4 weeks...sure.

We should draft, but similar to the Amari trade, I feel like Jerry may panic and give away a pick for mid level talent to over compensate.

You were wrong about Dak. Just own it. He's not good.

You said he would have a better season than Mahomes and literally on my thread about the pop he felt in his foot said "wake me when Dak misses a game".

Goodness.....

Based on the examples you provided, are you insinuating that Dallas will make a deep playoff run or go to the Super Bowl?

I think you've been conditioned to think that because we've not seen actual great consistent QB play since Aikman.

We absolutely could win with a Mahomes or Brady clone.

Don't let 15 combined years of an undrafted talent and 4th round talent at the QB position cloud your vision. A great QB can change everything.

THANK YOU


Ive been saying this for almost 5 years now. Yes the Cowboys are poorly managed and have two idiots running the team, but a better QB wins that game against SF last year.

Look at the Bengals. The are a horribly ran franchise as well, and their #1 overall pick took them to the SB in year 2 and came so close to winning it all
