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.

Nada...nope Jerry has until July to rescind the tag on Dak and save all that money for next year. Do it Jerry and shut the Dak lovers up!

Please let this happen! The sooner the better on our backup starting QB.

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!

Why did he take a one year deal and choose Dallas over those five other teams who presumably don't have a QB as good as Dak?

We should have taken Jalen Hurts in the 2nd round instead of Trevon Diggs.

The more I look at that draft class the worse it is. I'm at a B- now.

We need to talk you off the ledge. Do you know the song, the wheels on the bus?

I mean, as far as technicalities go, isn't he currently the starter?

In my opinion he has a good arm if the players are around him are good there is no reason he can't win 10 games. Now
it may change the offense because Dak can run and Dalton more of a drop back passer however he has three solid WR
here in Dallas coupled with the fact Dak 31 mil or Dalton less than 7 mil. Hmmmmmmmm

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

Peobably so. That’s the point.

They probably should have taken Hurts but that shop has sailed.

He chose Dallas cause its only a matter of time before Dak gets the hook in one of his Field Goal games.
He chose wisely!

Well Dak's shoulder still wasn't healed on Jan 30th, maybe there is more to this than some are letting on?

I think it would help to actually watch the players play before you do any downgrading from your imagination.

So if this was prime Aikman or Romo, would so called fans want Dalton starting, Aikman benched, Romo benched. NO.

That's what I thought about Lamar Jackson.

Lamar showed signs in college. Inconsistent from the pocket but made many impressive throws. Hurts was not the same caliber college QB as Jackson. I just don’t remember the same tight throws. Also, as good an athlete as Hurts is, Lamar is more elusive.

I was not sure about Jackson as a regular starting caliber QB when he came out. He obviously exceeded expectations. But I’d be shocked if Hurts can competently run an NFL offense for 4 quarters.

I dont care what he came here for, He'll hold the clipboard, if he thinks anything different ,he made a mistake. My guess is it made since for a year since he has a home here,is from here, played college ball here.

Probably wanted a break from the game. Plus if he is thrown in the fire Dallas has one of the largest media coverages for a team. Do good here he work himself back up to +25M a year.

He’s sure gonna reflect that decision if he thought he was gonna start

he chose dallas so he would not have to move his family for one season of being a backup and will look for a start job next year.

You win the prize
He will probably be back next year since I don’t see him being signed to be a starter again

So Winston thinks he's starting over Brees?

Maybe....or the disparity between the two is so great it would be silly for Winston to expect to start.
But if I were a coach I would want Winston to have the starting attitude.

Andy Dalton, top of the Dallas Cowboys QB depth chart!
