Where he belongs.

This smoke and mirrors stuff is stupid. The guy is still injured and not back to health, stop screwing around

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Good for him.

Embrace your new role, Dak.

Definitely a big game for Dallas

Lose and 2 1/2 games back
Win and 1/2 game up

Huge swing

Can't wait to see this thread in about 20 more posts.

It's the same argument: report status, then criticize.

Been a Cowboys fan for 27 years, Prescott is my favourite quarterback in that span.

McCarthy, do not provide Jonesy replies to the press. Say no comment now then wait until Saturday to give a definitive answer.

I have thought of this as well, really depend on if he is healthy enough. Part of me would like to see him in uniform and have him go in if need be over Grier

if hes healthy enough to play then he should start, if hes not healthy enough to play then he should wait a week or two more....there is no hes kinda healthy so put him at backup, thats not how it works...the backup has to be able to fully play if needed.

A 50% dak at backup that cant throw accuratly because hes still injured does us no good if philly knocks rush out.

Add that to the fact that the Eagles have a cupcake schedule.

Yep...both teams do, but Eagles even moreso

How so, 3/17 of their schedule differs from the Dallas Schedule based on how teams finished last year.

We got us a Willis Reed moment on our hands.

My thoughts exactly but having him active as a backup gives the impression that there is a qb controversy to anyone who struggles with a solution that isn’t black and white.

An 80% healthy dak is probably not as good as rush but probably better than Grier.

I don't care about perceptions any longer, people are going to think what they choose and should not have any bearing on what the team does.

He might be one of the better back up QBs in the league

Those games: .
Cowboys @ Rams, Eagles @ Cardlinals last Sunday; DAL & PHL won
Bengals @ Cowboys Sept 19th - DAL win; Steelers @ Eagles Oct 30th
Buccaneers @ Cowboys Sept 11th - DAL loss; Saints @ Eagles Jan 1st

The other 14 games are the same for Cowboys and Eagles (also Giants and Commanders)
6 division games, 4 against AFC South, 4 versus NFC North
