hes too athletic and mobile to be a statue
where was he going to go? their were people in every direction. they were simply overwhelming the line so quickly all you could do was stand there and try to find a throw.

Mahomes, Wilson, Jackson. None of them were going to be successful behind that line especially after the Cardinals got the lead.

This team can’t be any worse than what he dealt with last year. The worst team in football. He threw for 3,500 yards in like 14 games.

The Cowboys patheric, slow, disinterested, talentless defense will make Kyle Allen, Antonio Gibson and Terry McLaurin look like AIkman, Emmitt and Irviin in 1992. So it won't matter how good or bad Dalton does. Alas.

I don't play Fantasy football so that is the least of my concern, For me I want him to do well to help this team win football games.
So we can mess up our draft position to get bounced in the first round? See. I can be condescending too.

I don't care about the draft right now. You guys can go on about the draft as much as you want. I played ball long enough to know you go out and play to win, to learn and improve as a player and a team. What happens down the line will take care of itself. My only interest is this team playing better and winning games and if that offends snowflakes around here then so be it. I really do not care

I'm still in shock how badly he played. Given his tenure in the NFL my expectations were way higher than what I saw. I didn't expect him to set the world on fire but I certainly didn't expect the deer in the headlights player the Cowboys got Monday night. Put your big boy pants on and play like a grown man Dalton!!!
Unreal. Before the game he was all smiles. Once it started and he was running for his life there was no more smile. This week they will blitz him every play. I would play our rookie. At least he is mobile.

I played as well. And i am sorry to tell you. This team isnt good enough to win. Our defense has been HISTORICALLY bad. I am sorry if that offends you but they can try as hard as they want. They still suck. I want to win just as bad as everyone else. But I dont want to win to watch us get destroyed by Seattle on primetime TV for the whole world to laugh at us because you played ball and feel a way about it.

The way they are playing I agree. I'm not offended and either these guys will get it going or they won't. I know sitting on their butts crying will not change anything but I do expect better effort and better play. As for Seahawks we played them in a close game 38 to 31 but what other people say never phases me or concerns me.

Reps are great, but what he needs are 1st string OL and not the current 4th string.

I agree but 2 of the missing parts are gone for the year and now report is Martin will be out for this upcoming game. However does not change the fact the game will be played and coaches will need to come up with things to help slow the rush down.

All the armchair qb's think after 1 game Dalton should be winning. Crappy defense, and right now there is no oline to speak of. Not sure why everyone expects miracles on his first game played with a new system and new coaching staff.

It ain't rocket science but it does give folks something to complain about.

I thought Dalton would do better in game 1 because he *did* do better to finish the game after Dak went down.

The Cards started blitzing, and we had no answer. We do have an answer. Max protect and let secondaries try to cover Cooper and Lamb in wide open fields.

brady in his first two games with Tampa was bad. keep in mind he's had pretty much all the 1st team reps in practice before the season started. Dalton probably had maybe 1/3 of snaps during training camp? how about we give him a game or two or three like Brady had before we make judgements

Yup.

I said it'd take 3 games to judge decently. But even I also had no idea our backups to our backups would make up our oline

Just make sure DiNucci knows the line calls.

Dalton won't finish this game like the last one.

Have either Romo or Dak ever been benched in a loss?

Please someone remind me?

Just wondering why McCarthy didn't let the "Red Rifle" die on his shield

Wasted Reps......DiNucci should be starting. Dalton is a backup

Orton came in for Romo in 2012 against the Bears. This is the game Romo threw 5 interceptions and we were down 34-10. Orton led the team to a TD and 2 point conversion in his one drive.

He also replaced Romo the following year against the Bears for the final drive when we were down 45-21 and again led the team to a garbage time TD.
