New coaching staff, new mentality and new culture

[Whirlwin]

First off the NFC East has been a terrible division for years. Look at Prescott's record against the NFC East and than outside the division. At 2016 season Prescott was an unknown and it wasn't until the end of the season that a couple teams like the Giants and Vikings started to figure him out. Sure he hung a lot of points on Green Bay but that was a 31st rank past defense. In 2017 the Denver Broncos pantsed him. That is when he got exposed. His years went on he was no more than just an average QB worth about 7-9 wins with the major help of Zeke. And then they drafted Parsons a gold nugget that fell right into their lap when they weren't even targeting him they were targeting Patrick Surtain. Parsons face the team an extra 4 wins a season with his stellar play. He was so good he elevated the players around him both the defense AND offense. Dak has never elevated the players around him unless it was against the Giants and Commanders. If anything Daks play once they get into the playoffs has deflated the rest of the team. That's why we see these blowouts. I'm telling you the locker room is divided on Dak and it's gotten worse over the years. The defense doesn't even have time to make corrections before they have to run out there because Dak goes three and out especially in the playoff games and against good teams.
How many years in a row are we going to say oh this game is a good measuring stick for Dak and Dak falls flat on his face.

He lost Freddy, dez ,Jason Whitten, Ezekiel Elliott. And it went downhill from there. If it wasn’t for Prescott, we would never be in the playoffs. He totally overachieved with this rag team

Thank you for that belly laugh

Loyalty doesnt mean leaving and disappearing when things go bad and you cant handle being called out for it.

It's alway funny when people treat being a fan of the Cowboys like an article of faith. You better fan the way we want or we will burn you at the stake.

Loyal?

I havent seen the guy post since during last season until now.

He vanished for months, then shows up here to tell us all how to be "fans".

LOL

What a great post

If it wasn't for Prescott Dallas may of had a couple horrible seasons before landing Mahomes or Allen. Prescott has been just good enough to prevent the Cowboys from drafting a QB.
Remember when Romo came in for a few plays against the Eagles in that 2016 season. The velocity and accuracy he showed made Dak look like a High School QB. Romo couldn't stay healthy and they didn't let him play anymore which was the right choice. But it showed me how limited and weak Daks arm is. The point being the Cowboys stopped looking for a QB which was stupid.

We have football players, I don’t care what their name is. We’re gonna be better than a lot of people think.

Jerry? Is that you?

Wouldn’t you like to know?

I guess you forgot, Sean Lee saying who is this guy behind center. Wow we got a quarterback.

Sean Lee ...... the quarterback guru

Also the guy who missed 58 games (3 1/2 seaons worth) in his 10 year career ......... Dak is starting to have a lot in common with him.

You want to quote someone five years ago to make your case about Dak? Do you know how old Dak is? Do you remember all his injuries since then? Do you remember all the stink games he has had since 2020?

You don't get stronger and better looking as you age, and that is where Dak is at this moment.

Nothing wrong with an optimistic post here.

A lot of us are so jaded by three decades of failure and I get it, I really do. But like the OP says, football is just entertainment. If we look at it from that standpoint, we can either choose to be entertained or not. If the Cowboys start doing poorly, well, we've all been down that road already, haven't we?

If they are good, enjoy it. I understand Cowboys Zone is a place for fans to vent, but I know for a fact many of us don't even find happiness in wins here anymore. And that is really sad, because it's missing the entire point of being a fan. Only one team can win the Super Bowl per year. Every team in the playoffs except one is guaranteed to lose their last game.

That means a whole lot of sad fans worldwide if nobody enjoys any victory, be it in September or the first Sunday of February.

1 impact player doesn't always get you there.
Adding many solid players works better. Build a sold foundation. That holds up much better than one strong player and the rest weaker.

Consider it like building a dam. All parts must work together to be strong. Then you can get players to emerge to be an impact.
I think that is called team building 101.

Problem is that if your solid players aren’t so solid, the dam breaks. I believe a lot of people are showing pessimism over the talent acquisition so far this offseason. For me, I have hope but am truly concerned over DT, both OT positions, and RB. Williams is coming off an injury, Sanders might have been a product of Philly’s o-line, Steele I fear has seen his best days, and how well will Dak play off of his injury? Will the players that need to improve do so? It’s fair to ask these questions, but not fair to dismiss the talent we do have—and we do have talent.

What happens when you don’t have the protection and you get beat up in the NFL?
Sean Lee had a great career, wish we had a young one. Pathetic, you put down our best players at the end of their careers. How about the choke Mahomes? Oh it’s OK because he already won LMAO.

Best players? Who?

 

[Hadenough]

Wonder what he thinks now. All those choke fears against SF and GB. Pathetic performance by the highest paid player on your team that is supposed to be a leader.
Dam fool gets a stupid deer in the headlights look and sits by himself on the bench. Coaches don't even come over with a tablet to make adjustments because it wouldn't do any good. He won't release the ball into sticky coverage. This is what you get when a pretender meets a contender.
There are a lot of GMs in the league that wouldn't want Prescott.

If it was just entertainment the OP wouldn’t run away and disappear for months when all of his positive energy goes out the window and his relentless attacks on anyone he deems “unworthy” of being a fan become laughable.

Good points. There are fans here that are upset when Dallas wins and Dak has a good game. As you said, that is sad.

You should try it. It’s very refreshing and prevents one from becoming someone like yourself. Miserable.

lol. On cue. Like a moth to the flame.

You know for someone that uses their veteran status to call out everyone you can and calls people quitters. You sure quit a lot. Especially when this team doesn’t do well.

Good thing you never tried to invent something. You would’ve given up before you succeeded

Hard to invent something, when you never have an original thought.

I once worked on a lanyard that featured a pencil sharpener, a security whistle and lip balm, all handy for emergencies. Someday those who rejected tha idea will be sorry and I will laugh at their puny lives while I get rich and party with
