Do you think with or w/o a contract for Dak will Andy get a fair shake to compete and win the starting job? Will it make a difference if Dak is only the one yr deal or if signed long term?.
He'll get his fair shake at being a backup. He doesnt rate an open competition

The NFL rarely has open competitions for starting QB. If you do, then neither of them are any good and you have issues. Dak is the man. Dalton was brought in to be a backup. he knows that. As long as Dak is here, Dalton has 0% chance to be a starter unless injury. All they wanted to do is improve our terrible situation at backup QB, which might have been the worst in the league. He was not brought here to compete for the starting job. I know many want to think that because of their views on Dak but it's not the case. So not sure what you think a "fair shake" is here. Will Dalton be paid to be a backup to Dak and be ready in case any injury happens? Absolutely. Sounds like a "fair shake" to me.
Only times you see an open comp is if 1) You really dont have a starting caliber QB 2) You want to be conservative with a rookie FRP

Agreed on the no open competition thing.

Sadly, by your definition of trouble, we are kinda in it.

Itll get resolved though by Jerry caving.

I personally think LESS years is a good thing, although I'm no Prescott basher.
IMO 4 years is the best length. It ties him to McCarthy. Mcarthy signed a 5 year deal. If he isnt working out he will likely be let go in 4. At that point you are likely rebuilding

Dalton isn’t competing for anything he was brought in as the backup. It’s laughable to think he’s going to be competing with Dak for the starting job. :laugh: Your post has casual fan written all over it.
When you sign for 3 million, you dont compete with a QB that just got a a non exclusive franchise tag lol

No
He was signed to backup Dak
IF Dak signs, they will not sit him

I think he’s better anyway.
But “Trust Fund QB” continues to apply

the team should consider all options at all positions, it would be stupid to say otherwise

How much do you want to bet? If you think he’s going to be pulled for Dalton because of an off game you’re kidding yourself! That performance was primarily due to not practicing for two weeks with a bad shoulder. Zeke was off the field on a critical third and one where Pollard took a loss. Amari was off the field on the most critical play of the game. Our receivers dropped balls and our defense didn’t show up. Carson Wentz had nothing at receiver and put up over 300 yards.

Nah you're right we will just keep on kicking field goals and beating only dogs teams and Dak will stay under center till hell freezes over.:huh:
Man snap out of it as your Dak Crush has you losing a grip on reality!:omg:

Fair shake at the backup? yes

I dont think there is a scenario the team is looking at that doesnt have Dak starting at QB. Wether thats on a 4 or 5 yr deal or on the franchise tag Dak will sign.

You’re the one who needs to snap out of it and stop using this board as a platform for your Dak hate. Eventually you’ll cross the line with your tiring agenda and disappear. Will be looking forward to that day. :thumbup:

If a deal is reached with Dak, there will be no competition no matter how Dalton looks.


Not sure why there wouldn't be. You;d sit a guy BETTER than the starter? For pride?


I'm not saying it won't happen or should happen. But...let's say for the sake of this argument Andy *IS* in fact better with THIS offense. You are going to double down on your mistake? (the big contract). STUPID!

Well probably not, but it would not hurt anything.
If Dalton looked way better in TC and PS, why not start him? or at least play him.
and if Dak is so good, should he not be able to win any competition easily??

I was a romo fan , but always felt like competition, real competition would have made tony play better.
When you let someone know the job is theirs automatically no matter how good some others are, they will not be the best they can be.

The notion that there's a QB competition for the starting job is fantasy, with the emphasis on fan. He wasn't signed to compete for the starting job and he knows it.

Listen to what he's been saying rather than what some numb nuts on this board have been saying. There's no "fair shake" to give him. He's the back up QB.

They’re aren’t many like you. The few I’ve seen with your agenda aren’t here anymore. When you look for their profile they no longer exist. :grin:
