Who the heck ever actually rooted for failure?

Only time I’ve seen it was during a tanking situation...

Pretty sure damn near every one of us goes nuts during every single Cowboy TD and win..

For me, I never advocated for Dak to get the money he wanted, but every TD and win was always pure bliss, regardless...

What I don’t understand is viewing success from the players’ standpoint... Even when my hero Emmitt played against us as a Cardinal, I was praying for a shut out because he wasn’t a Cowboy at the time...

To this day, I still love the guy to death; however' the only thing that I really care about is advancing our team’s propensity for current and future success... What else really matters???

There’s one person, in particular,(rhymes with crappybog) that did not post during some of our win streaks a couple of years back. As soon as we lost he came to taunt. He was called out and came up with an excuse that was more lame then his opinions.

I won’t forget it and some of his more extreme supporters (don’t remember their names, but some know them) followed right along with him.

They do actively root for Dak to fail. Thus rootIng for their team to fail. Which is odd to say the least.

The offense was built for Dak.....we will not see our entire offense now that Dak is out. Still hoping for Andy not to be the same Andy of the last 5 seasons. #Cowboys4Life

The only problem with that is passing the ball 800 times and running your QB makes us one dimensional and subjects your QB to injury risk..

The only saving grace for this team is to return to a more balanced attack...

At least we’d be keeping other teams honest, considering the run pass unpredictability. Also, I think teams were spying Dak while knowing Zeke wasn’t eating on early downs anyway... It’s like it compounded the problem...

Jeffkills · Oct 16, 2020

Admittedly, I never realized Dalton had strengths as a timing passer with quick release!

****NOT-AN-OFFICIAL-SOURCE*** put together a pretty encouraging video RE the same...

Perhaps the offensive line dumpster fire that is might just be protected in a major way if Kellen emphasizes timing and quick release on nearly every designed pass... That was a staple at BSU, FWIW...

Thankfully we should see less holding penalties and long developing plays, like those worthless screens. Consequently, lead draw and play action might also benefit..

So we have a head coach that came directly from the Bill Walsh school of WCO and here we are, and here is Kellen Moore instituting an altogether different offense. Interesting. Makes you wonder what went on behind closed yacht doors when McCarthy accepted the offer.

first off no reason to change the offense , its not the offensive scheme its the play calling game plan and in game flow play call adjustment..

needs to be more balance actually scheme the run game to open holes , use motion, end arounds , get Wrs involved a lot like Cleveland did to us along with zeke and pollard, then when the defense gets tighter to the line open it up PA will work better..

its pretty simply and hopefully if we dont have TOS and early mistakes to get us behind we can see a lot more balance..no need to ever drop back 50 times by design and yet they did this on purpose against seatle and it failed..

lets regain TOP advantage , keep the defense off the field as much as possible..

So you believe a football can be thrown through the eye of a needle? There's an old testament (could be new testament) saying it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle ...........but i doubt that, too. Dak has been very accurate this year until the injury .

You know what is meant in football terms by saying "threading the needle ". You know that it isn't literal. Aaron Rodgers threads the needle. Pat Mahomes threads the needle. Dak does not thread the needle. Dak steals YAC on a regular basis from receivers because they have to wait for the throw so often. To top it off he misses some of the easiest throws there are to be made. This teams can't run screens for **** because of how bad he is at that easy throw. Don't get me wrong, I think Dak is good enough to win a SB but he doesn't "thread the needle".

Anytime you can resurrect a former starting QBs career, you're going to get HC recognized.

Romo was our offense, Dak not so much. Dak doesn't create Laurent Robinsons, he needs trading for Amari Coopers.

Romo created prime Dez Bryant, Terrell Owens, prime Jason Witten ?

Yes Jeff.....that's what I thought too. If you get quicker with reads and throwing motion.....that's gonna help!

Wow...you picked the best WR's on the era? Why didn't you mention Miles Austin? WHo want on to Cleveland and had a GREAT career there! :huh:

Was Laurant Robinson his #1 receiver?

Didn’t we trade picks to get Romo Roy Williams?

Romo needed a ton of help too. He also had a ton of garbage time stats when we would struggle against teams playing normal defenses and then turn it on at the end when they backed off and traded yards for time.

All most every complaint about Dak can be said of Romo. It’s like I can’t tell the team from 2007-2020 apart with the exception of a few years. I watch the same crap regardless of who the players are. The only thing that changes is who people point the fingers at.

Nice try, you had years to make that point about Romo and see it being applied to Dak so think, "why not I slip that in there?"
Yes, when Miles went down he started for a bit.
People caught on to how Dak built his yardage and now you want that to apply to Romo's career. Romo kept his team in games throughout. I rarely remember Romo letting the team go down 3 scores before producing any offense. Romo's issues were from making cowboy type throws that could lead to picks. Almost the complete opposite issue of Dak.

Roy was a JJ trade no one asked for. He got blasted by the media for how bad that trade was bc of his man crush on U of Texas Roy Williams. Tony surely didn't force it to him, and was replaced by Dez almost a season later.
Romo wouldn't let the team go down multiple scores every game, that's the difference bc he could keep up. Romo could score from anywhere on the field, Dak not so much.

LMAO.. So the offense is going to go from #1 to ?.........

You people are amazing.. It's really going to be fun watching yall contort yourselves if the offense STOPS scoring 33 ppg and 488 yards a game with Dalton at the helm. That's where the bar is set.. If it doesn't hit those marks with Dalton can we all agree that the offense will not be as good? I'm not holding my breath for it to happen nor for idiots who hate Dak to fess up when it doesn't. But I will be laughing at yall. Count on it. Make no mistake.. I want the Cowboys to win.. and I don't really care what kind of numbers Dalton puts up if they do. If yall are too caught in your feelings to admit that no matter what Dalton does this team will continue to look like crap if the defense doesn't step up maybe therapy can help yall.

Its going to produce when it actually counts and not in garbage time.

What good is being #1 on offense if you lose? I don't care what they score, or how they score, just want them to win. I am behind Dalton now just like I was Dak. I will, however, still call it like I see it. If the offense continues to put the ball on the ground 2-3 times a game they will still have it coming.

Being #1 on offense is the only reason we have two wins. The defense has been just plain horrid as you know. The OP said the offense is about to take off. I don't know how much higher it can fly than where it is. The only area it can improve is not turning it over. So Far Dalton has led 4 drives and turned the ball over on 25% of them. Needless to say that can't continue. Moore needs to protect Dalton early and not try to run the damn Texas Tech offense early in games. We know teams are going to put 8 in the box and dare him to throw it. But you can't take the bait there. You still have to try and maintain some semblance of balance even if the defense puts 8 in the box. Or you can substitute the short passing game for runs. Flares, slants, WR screens etc. What you can't do, especially with this line, is call a bunch of 5 and 7 step drops with longer developing routes. That will get Dalton killed and THEN we can declare our season officially over.

CowboysExchange · Oct 16, 2020

AD will be better at throwing the deep ball but he doesn't have the arm strength as dak. Can he hold up under pressure though in these long developing plays on offense.
He's got the same te core as Dak so I'm guessing every game is gonna be a struggle to win js

Romo has played with more offensive pro bowlers than Dak in 07, 09, and 12

What about the other years? Seems cherry picked lol So Dak had more in the remaining years of his career?

Disagree. Reading a D and producing under pressure are part of being talented.

Perhaps.. I would say mental acuity is more of an ability than a "talent." When I think of talent I think of physical tools. I think that's the way most people see it. Reading the defense, anticipating coverages and routes and simply being able to remain calm under pressure are mental gifts. Jameis' issue really isn't that he lacks any of that.. His problem is judgement. He simply makes poor decisions as to what he should or should not try to do. Whether it be forcing the ball into coverage or trying to pitch it to a lineman while being tackled. He simply makes boneheaded decisions. I mean all QBs do from time to time but he does it more than any supremely physically talented QB I've ever seen.

He had three in 2014 as well.

3 more than Dak? The way he worded that stat gave it away...3 years he had more pro bowlers? Seemed like an odd way to say it.

All this Romo support probably makes me come off as anti-Dak. Definitely not. Wish the kid was still playing. He's top 10 and hope he comes back strong next year. He progressed a lot as a passer last season and do feel the D gave him too much pressure to keep up. That's not his game.
