If he gets hurt it won’t be from a planned run for him. QB’s who use their legs are always more vulnerable to injury. Most likely this means Dak will never be the same threat with his legs again.
I would agree here.

The fracture he had if it was me I would not be so willing to risk another injury.

And Dak has been willing to run in order to win. If it means Dak has to become more pocket oriented..

That might be problematic. If you look at his statistics it might show his completion % from the pocket vs. out of the pocket.

I do not know where you would find that. I'm sure somebody can tell us.

I also would think if he is less mobile it might make him improve his reads in order to get the ball out quicker.

So it remains to see where things might go from here.

You think being less mobile improves his reads?
He's been in the league for nearly a decade. His reads are what they are.

I think you can win with him, but if the defense doesn't become at least average, it won't matter.

It's so refreshing having a leader under center again rather than a guy who holds his fist up and threatens to punch everyone when the crowd is being respectful as he's being carted off the field.

The results will show on the field. We roll Monday night.

Sounds like something Garrett would say. Only thing missing are the claps !!!

The claps just got tiresome . . . I'm glad he's the Giants OC now. Thank God and Greyhound for that. Here's hoping Mike Nolan works out better than he has lately.

Come on stop the trolling and thread de rail, this is a thread about Dalton. He's our leader now

Root for him, or find another team. Stop trolling.

Let's go Dalton!!!!!!

Says the troll that continues to put a hashtag referencing Dak not getting paid. Amazing how some of you take issue with other players being treated as poorly as you treat players.

Here is my fear with our team at this point.

It would be typical of our cowboys to see the defense play lights out against arizona while the offense flounders.

The problem we've had over the years is we just can't play consistent as a team.

Call me a homer but I’m shocked we are this bad.

I understand. Last season, I made a post on our OL, our DL, our LBs. I made the point that if we go heavy on paying the Offense, we would suffer on Defense because we would have to go out and pay guys to fill holes. Now, we are kinda seeing the results of these decisions. You could kinda see it coming over the last few years. Pay The Man is all good until you see what results in that approach if you don't spend wisely.

And he will. He's performing for a $20 million dollar salary next year.

This guy has the can-do attitude and leadership this team has so sorely needed.
That's the kind of attitude everyone that has coached or played with Dak says he has, so the problem isn't a shortage of that. The problem is really more the defense. Dalton is a good QB that should help keep the offense putting up a lot of points, so the key is if the defense can step up and help the cause.

I think I get sucked into the fantasy football way that our team is built at times.


I know you don’t invest in WRs and RBs while neglecting defense but I guess I ignored that when evaluating this team.

I feel like I’m good at putting my Cowboys bias to the side but I think I got caught up in the hope of a new coach and all the skill players.

He is a vet and im sure he didn't come to lose. I believe in Dalton. Is guys like Cooper will bring his A game for Dalton this maybe a pleasant surprise . The offense needs BALANCE. We need to run Zeke. The cards are going to want to knock the run game out ASAP. We need to young guys to bring their A game. We have to run the ball. These young guys need to keep running down the field if Zeke is running. The receivers need to block well as long as they don't get rolled up on. The defense can't come looking unaware like they did two weeks ago.
