If you want to win a championship than the problem are obvious. Since Mahomes or Burrows arent walking through that door then its really simple.

D needs to be a little better and we need a great run game. Which means improving the Oline, getting new backs in here and another talented weapon or two in the passing game.

NO reason that Hurts should have all of that and we cant. No one can tell me that Hurts is better than Mahomes, Allen, or Burrow. But right now he has the better team surrounding him. The guy has everything he could ever dream of. And coaching.

Niners have a great team as well, but in their case the QB's arent good enough.

The jury is still out on Dak, but the team's failures are just not on him. Look at the 2 teams in the NFC championship, they are both loaded with talent around their QB. Our talent level isn't anywhere close.
Completely agree I don’t know where people get the notion that Dallas talent is loaded.

Not close? like 7 points close.. look art SF, lost once their qb went down,. talent didn't help a lot did it? that didn't help the eagles? btw we beat the eagles split, we are very close.. its who you pay and when plus where.. we finished the season paying what 4 straight on the road met SF on the road and with their full team that got them there, eagles played at home without facing Purdy all game. we lost Pollard and Diggs didn't ,make the plays that could have changed the game...

its that close..
All points will try again I don’t disagree but I don’t think our talent is anywhere near San Francisco and certainly not the Eagles. They put their money in the trenches and we have to

The game did have consequences. They were still fighting for the division and Hurts had nothing to do with their defense
The Boys didn't control their destiny at this point. That win had no consequence.

We can't forget about Panthers or Packers games. Tell me how Dak showed up there...those loses encapsulate what this team is AND Dak made huge , game changing errs

People make Dak the root of all their problems. It's copium plain and simple
Nobody makes "dak the root of all problems". You just lie to suit your dumb stupid agenda.

Do people put a lot of burden on Dak? OF COURSE. Just like they did Romo.

You are a guy that would blame Noah Brown JUST as madly, fervently as those you criticize for doing Dak. As if Noah gets paid and was signed to win a super bowl.

Dak has earned criticism. Your cute clever use of a word changes NOTHING about Dak's responsibility and accountability as self-proclaimed and de facto leader and field general of this team.

We just watched Mahomes have a VERY silly turnover with the ball falling out his hands. But that doesn;t define him. Meanwhile...Dak leads the league in interceptions despite out 5 games...in no small part to HIM...doing stupid stuff. That seems to define him all too often.

When does he get held accountable for it. EVER? Not the root...but a pretty big branch. When we STOP covering for him...like a little baby..maybe we can inspire him. To LIFT this team up like the good QB's do.

Are ya in? Or do we we put dak in the closet.

Every game has consequences. In one way or another. Your notion..is why we suck.

Cowboys fans would have said "Alex Smith got us to the playoffs! The QB isn't the problem! Why would we trade up and waste a 1st round pick on a QB?!? STUPID!"

This is how Cowboys fans think. This is how they operate. This is why this fanbase is a laughing stock.

They not only accept mediocrity with open arms, but they arrogantly wallow in it.

The same group that didn't want to part with Garrett or Jaylon Smith or still talk about how Jerry built a dynasty! The bar is set extremely low here.

The jury is not still out on Dak. Dak cannot be improved. He is not dependable. You do not know what you will get when he suits up. There is no Silver Lining.
Dak is unfixable imo.

These are Comments about Dak the QB.

how do you improve the team? who is the QB? and we had 20M on the cap this year and chose not to bring in any FAs to bolster the roster. what makes you think Jones' would do that? we were bottom 5 in cash spending in the league this year.

Stafford is a better a QB than Dak. he was the #1 over all league. was in a bad system, with bad coaches, bad OCs for years. went to a team, that was willing to bring in resources even mid season (something we refused to do even this year) and had McVay as the OC/Coach.

so find me a QB. tell me how he makes the team better. what's your plan. otherwise you are just complaining/whinning
You totally miss the point.....it's not necessarily about which QB, it's that Dak shows repeatedly that he cant sustain top level play enough to win a SB. At some point we need to admit that whilst he can be brilliant (eg Bucc's) the next week he's just as likely crumble when things start going wrong (49'ers).

Yes every QB loses, but for me it's the way that Dak isnt able to step up to face adversity, indeed, he appears to panic and crumble (including trying to make throws that arent there is a part of this, hence the INT's) and that's not winning a SB as things are going to go wrong in the play-offs

We win by creating the team and fitting a QB into that scheme and into a talented Offense.....just as in 2016 (albeit the CAP concerns paying Romo and Dez, which is why we cant throw good money after bad).

Dak is paid like he is the 9th highest paid Qb in the league. He is consistently in the upper 7 of qb's. The rest of that Boolshizzle you wrote

that's just classic moving the goal line. What do you call The Tampa Bay playoff Game if not rising ? Or does that not count because we won THAT game

I'm sorry dude either you have a reading comprehension problem or you just try to act like people's points were never stated, and I know you can comprehend what you wish to
Dak's the 2nd highest paid QB in 2023 and 2024. The very fact he can play brilliantly one week against the Bucc's and then fall apart in the face of adversity (when Pollard went down, as he was doing ok upto that point) just show's he doesnt have the leadership qualities to overcome adversities.

Joe Burrow...the same Joe Burrow that has a 5-1 playoff record, a Super Bowl appearance in 2021, and back-to-back AFC Championship game appearances in only 3 seasons as a starter.......compared to Dak's 2-4 playoff record and ZERO NFC Championship appearances in 7 seasons????

That Joe Burrow?????
Yep, @Ken using the classical What-About (deflection) argument. Trying to explain to a ABD Dak fan that we agree Dak can play well and that yes any QB can lose......but it's the way that Dak appears to crumble when things start going wrong.

Ken there's an argument that responsibility also increases with the money he earns, players on second deals should be held to a higher standard.
