it's ok to believe Dak is elite or top, but it doesn't mean others, even possibly majority, do.

of 710 reactions it seems most are "great pickup, let him compete for the starting position, or get Dak out of here"

edit: for those quick simple minded folks, no I do not base my opinion on what I read in those comments...LOL
Please tell me you are aren't reaching a conclusion on the fanbases thoughts on Dak from the comments section of an article. Christ. :laugh:

obviously not, maybe I should've covered that narrow-minded response in my edit, guess I didn't cover all grounds. Obviously you, myself, and the comments we read don't speak for the entire fanbase, holy....

5 other teams were interested in Dalton but he choose Dallas because he felt it was his best option to start. This goes against narrative that he will just be good boy and hold clipboard for Dak....na he came to start!
Of course he did. Anyone who thinks otherwise are fooling themselves.

Do you really think . He thinks he can beat out Prescott LMAO of course you want to believe that you can be the starter that doesn’t make it true. It just makes you try harder. Dalton sucks

Im looking at this objectively. Dalton is a very good QB. He has the talent. He has the arm.

What he HASNT had is:

1. A good team and
2. Consistently good decision making.

Playing from behind doesn’t help #2. He could have success with Dallas he hasn’t had elsewhere.

Drew Brees was a castoff at one point too. So was Favre.

Dalton is nothing but a back up he has a week arm can’t make the outside throws. His deep ball floats The only thing better than Cooper Rush is that he’s more accurate. And can read a defense. Other than that solid back up and nothing more. He’s not even as good as Nick Foles and he sucks

I think he is a better QB than you do. That’s fine.

If you don’t think he believes he has a shot in Dallas you are mistaken.

The opportunity is not likely to arise from a straight up competition. It would more likely arise due to an injury/holdout from Dak.

This team is primed for a run. Dalton is playing the odds. It’s a smart play. Quinn came here and parlayed that into a big contract. Dalton is hoping for the same thing.

The only shot he gets in Dallas is if Prescott is a no-show.

Dak will make roughly 10 times as much money as Dalton this year.

Because Dak’s market value blows Dalton’s market value out of the water.

That’s what superior stats and a superior W/L record will do, I suppose.

I know it hurts.
:laugh:

I don't understand the relevance of this post?

I will respectfully disagree. You don’t think the team will use him as the starter if Dak goes on IR?
We just got rid of Cooper rush. That’s why they Signed Dalton make no mistake about it

Yeah they’ll have to use somebody. I think the rookie is better than Dalton
