Will McCarthy have the fortitude to pull Dak if necessary?

[Reverend Conehead]

First, I'm hoping Dak bounces back from his interception troubles and plays great. I hope he plays so well that I say that I'm glad Jones paid him that big contract. I haven't said that yet. If he plays awesome and this team has a shot at the NFCC, then I'll shut up.
...
However, if he stinks up the place, if his interception problem ends up as bad or worse than last year, then McCarthy should pull him. Put in Cooper Rush. I know that would not make Dak happy, but this game isn't about his happiness. It's a meritocracy, and if some other player gives you a better chance to win, you need to go with that player.
...
Again, I'm not sitting here hoping that Dak stinks up the place. I want him to play well. I'm talking about ONLY if he plays really terrible.

It won't come down to it. But if it did, yes McCarthy would pull Dak.

This is too important of a season and he knows it.

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

Cooper Rush lead Dallas to a bottom third offense.

Dak lead Dallas to a top 5 offense.

There’s no chance of Rush starting a game over a healthy Dak.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

There's no scenario in which Dak plays so bad he gets pulled for Cooper Rush lol

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

No chance.

Dak makes too much money.

Cole Beasley told y’all how things go in Dallas.

The Pressure is on him like white on rice.
I expect Dak to implode this coming season big time as he doesn't have the talent or the mental steel to keep this job much longer.
Once the boos and the garbage start again it wouldn't surprise me at all if Dakko hits the bench.
Yes, you all remember this one right?

The INT "problem" is in your heads.

He might bench himself if it becomes too much.

MM will live or die with Dak. I'm afraid Dak will outlast MM in Dallas. JJ looks ready to triple down.

I could see him pulling Dak for the remainder of a game, or even for a series or two, just to get his head right, but Dak would have to be playing very badly...like, worse than we've seen.
But I couldn't see Rush ever starting over Dak.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

No matter how bad Dak plays he won't get pulled.

Maybe if they're losing by 30 or something. But that's every coach and quarterback.

Look for him to get injured again as subconsciously he will make this a reality to "escape" what folks are seeing on the field.
It has worked for him in the past and I expect him to use it once again.

And Jerry will give him a fat contract for it lolololol

 

[Havic]

What a loaded question lol. Dak will be the starter regardless of performance unless it’s somehow injury related

 

[removed_20241105]

It would be up to Jerry not McCarthy.

Are you expecting a Matt Schaub level collapse?

No, it's in the proven stats. He led the league in picks last year, despite missing several games.

 

[JBS]

Are you guys this clueless to suggest that W. Mcclay has the power to pull Dak? What a joke of an idea
