I'm just curious (and wonder if anyone thinks we would have won).

I believe it would have been 38-17. Dak is worth a couple of touchdowns, but he probably would have at least thrown one of the interceptions Dalton did (the one where Kirkpatrick mugged Lamb), he couldn't have done anything to prevent Elliott's fumbles and our OL wouldn't have handled Arizona's pressure any better, although Dak might have escaped some of it.

I think it would’ve been closer to 38-28. Dak’s deep throws are way better. Zeke’s fumbles definitely hurt, but I don’t think Dak would’ve thrown an interception in “garbage time” unless it was a hail Mary attempt. Either way, the score would’ve been way higher.

The Cowboys averaged over 32 ppg with Dak, but don't let that get in the way of the Dalton excuses. I understand some folks need a reason to believe, even if it's false.

Possibly for Arizona, too. They let off the gas some, but they did score even while trying to take the air out of the ball.

We’re in that game with Dak, no doubt. The D had lots of stops early. Zeke needed to be benched. His heads not in it right now.

I don’t know how unless you think he gets us back in it late because early on Zeke and Gallup sabotaged the team.

We scored 17 against LA. Just because we were averaging 32 doesn't mean we hit that mark every game. Arizona's defense played pretty well, so I don't think we would have hit that average.

We can afford to lean heavily on Dak, he has shown that. But it shouldn't be that way. Our defense is to blame for having to put it all on one player.

Now we are putting it all on the shoulders of Zek. It shouldn't be that way. Dalton can't carry this team, he has shown that.

No one player should have to carry this team. Win as a team, lose as a team.

Team averaged 37 points a game under Dak. And that was with bad Oline play.

Simple math says that is 27 points better than Dalton.

Well you have to factor in that we played most of the game without Zack Martin, and that defense would have probably been the best we have faced.

Its a closer game but we still lose. Too much about the qb position, that just distracts from the real issues with this team.
:hammer:
Real issue with this team was being served by a private bartender up in the owner's suite.

Dak wins this game for sure. We now have evidence. Dak is around 30 points better than Dalton so far. They averaged 37 per week under Dak this year. But somehow you get they would have 17? LOL

Another Dak troll obviously.

We dont win that game with Dak. Im not saying that as an indictment on Dak but you got the feeling AZ could have scored a lot more if they didnt take their foot off the gas. We probably dont have another 3 wins in our schedule.

Don't even try what. I'm not trying to disparage Dak. I'm just asking a question.

I think Arizona's defense played well against our backups offensive line, so I don't think this would have been a real high-scoring game for us. Saying Dak is two touchdowns better than Dalton in this one should be seen as a compliment.

Well for one he’s going to try and throw past 4 yards.

I get your grievances about Dak’s salary, but you should be pointing at #21. He’s the overpaid bum that’s killing this team. Every run he makes he’s leaning so far forward he falls down. He’s lost it. He was my favorite player too, but no more. I have NO idea what’s up with him. Weed? A girl? No clue.....
