If you think Dak played well

[Dallasdaddy]

Dak is a worthless pile of cow dung that should have never been drafted by the Dallas Cowboys. They could have drafted way better quarterbacks, but Jerry went with Dak. 0 super bowls. Please take Jerry, God. Dak, please retire. You suck so bad in the big games.

This coming from a long time fan starting from the 80s. This gutless team can't win on the road like the 90's teams could. I knew they'd lose. Unfortunately for you, you'll never see a super bowl team. Jerry needs to be 6 feet under until this can happen. Jimmy Johnson won those super bowls, not Jerry. Glad I've seen 3 super bowl wins.

I respect your opinion fam..... but im split on the notion that Jimmy won those Superbowls, not Jerry.

Jerry won a Superbowl without Jimmy. I believe the Superbowls they won was due to a joint effort between both of them.

If it was all because Jimmy, he would have been able to win Superbowls when he went to the Dolphins, but he didn't.

Jimmy Johnson won three Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys by building a team from the ground up with smart drafting and trades, bringing in key players like Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, and Michael Irvin. He created a disciplined, winning culture that motivated players to buy into his system. Johnson’s innovative coaching tailored strategies to his players’ strengths, balancing a strong running game with precise passing and an aggressive defense. His combination of talent evaluation, leadership, and game planning made the Cowboys dominant in the early ’90s.

Sounds good. But if he did all that by himself in Dallas, why didn't he do that when he went to the Miami Dolphins??

Dak had pressure in his face every drop back. The O-line was bad tonight.

 

[Dallasdaddy]

Jimmy Johnson didn’t replicate his Cowboys success with the Miami Dolphins because he came in to an older roster with fewer superstar players and less flexibility to rebuild. He also had less time to fully implement his system and culture. Without the ability to draft and shape the team like he did in Dallas, Johnson couldn’t create the same dynasty.

People will bend over backwards to blame dak no matter what

Dak is the highest paid QB in the league. According to his salary he should be the Tom Brady or Payton Manning of the current era.

 

[Dallasdaddy]

Dak does not have the mental fortitude that Aikman did. Neither did Romo. Jerry doesn't understand the fundamentals of what make a championship quarterback. I would take a qb like Bo Nix over Dak any day of the week. The Cowboys had their chance.

Detroit is a better team. The Cowboys don't have the juice to beat a team like in such a meaningful game. That was playoff game last night.

The good news is the Cowboys have improved dramatically and should better next year.

Should be....not will be. That will be on Jerry. I am not a believer in Jerry. Jerry doesn't know football. We won't have a dominant defense next year or a dominant offensive line. Jerry likes the flash.

not a Dak stan but the OL was not helping him out tonight at all. i think he played good, not great... but defense gave him nothing

Jared got the ball out quick and was accurate. His oline wasn’t helping

 

[Kwyn]

The more I read from some of the fans the more I realize that they expect absolute perfection.

Dak didn’t have his best game but he’s far from the reason we lost.

But, the reasons we lost aren’t as dramatic and emotional as the QB, so that’s where the force the outrage.

Reality is just too boring for them.

Goffs oline dominated the line of scrimmage all night.

3 turnovers, none of which were Dak's fault and he battled and got us back within 3 late in the game. Penalties were the reasons we had to settle for FG's.

Dak was not the problem.

Turnovers
Penalties
Kickoff Coverage.

Im seeing a lot of fans “relieved” that the defense should shoulder the blame for this loss as opposed to lumping Dak in there as well.

He played a bad game. The lazy will look at the stat sheet and see he threw for over 300 yards and the ints were the fault of the receivers.

He was inaccurate on several deep passes (got CD concussed).

Threw that horrific backwards pass instead of throwing it away

Led 0 Td drives in the first half against a team missing most of their secondary.

When you have the number one offense and your defense gets blown out, you think it is an offensive problem?

 

[nightrain]

Should be....not will be. That will be on Jerry. I am not a believer in Jerry. Jerry doesn't know football. We won't have a dominant defense next year or a dominant offensive line. Jerry likes the flash.

Jerry is like a broken clock. He gets it right 2x/cycle. They will be good (competitive) next year.

 

[Pola_pe_a]

How does a quarterback with a weak are place himself in the top 3 in every quarterback category except ints?

Give me the names of other weak armed quarterbacks who have done that.

I'll patiently wait.....

Good to great QBs with average arm strength
Drew Brees, Joe Montana, Bernie Kosar, Brock Purdy, Peyton Manning, Jared Goff and Tom Brady.

Dak has above average arm strength

The defense, penalties lost the game. It was one of those games where the offense had no help from the defense so ended up becoming 1 dimensional. The lazy fans like you, don’t understand that. Plus, you’re a well known hater and were praying for a loss so you could make this thread.

Mahomes is historically amongst the best quarterbacks in NFL history. Why are they possibly out of playoff contention?

He's talking in circles and sounding like chatgpt is creating his responses

 

[Captain-Crash]

Well im confused. Elite quarterbacks couldn't do what non Elite quarterbacks have done?

Then you give excuses of those non Elite quarterbacks benefiting off of defenses? That's interesting.

Not confusion, just context.

A non-elite QB can win a Super Bowl when the team is elite — legendary defenses, top coordinators, stacked rosters. Dilfer, Foles, and Kap all rode historic supporting casts.

An elite QB, on the other hand, is someone who plays at a top level regardless of the situation, even when the roster is hurt, the defense is mid, or the coaching is shaky.

Super Bowls measure teams.
Consistency and performance measure quarterbacks.

If rings alone defined elite QBs, Eli Manning would outrank Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, and Dan Marino.

See the difference? No excuses — just football logic.
