ADMIN EDIT:



Leaning? Thinking about? Get that Jr. High School, side arm throwing, piece of trash, favor to McCarthy's dead brother QB out of the Starting line up. He wasted the best defensive performance by the worst defense in the league.

Too bad Colin Kaepernick is making bank with Nike and Hollywood. NFL stands for Not For Long.

But you enjoy HATING and LOSING for a phantom bust QB so much! Why would you want to change now?

We are gonna get crushed by Pitt no matter who starts— so what the hell— I’ll throw my name out there. I played intramural football 22 years ago as a QB (and LBer as a two-way starter!! Lol) and won a playoff game.

That gives me one more playoff win than any current QB on Dallas roster :laugh:
I will root for you!

Best thing in his favor, imho, is that he's 6-4 and weighs 230. He should be able to withstand the pounding he's so likely to receive! :rolleyes:

This is the first year in my history as a football fan that I am extremely looking forward to the bye week and not having to watch the Cowboys

well, besides that....but he was also given a terrible game plan and never got a chance to try to get in to a rhythm making normal throws...if he looks like he did with a normal game plan, we have our conclusive answer

I support this move. There was no choice but to start DiNucchi, but if there are vet options, It would be a great disservice to the rookie to throw him out there against the Steelers. He needs the developmental time for which he was drafted. QBs do not benefit from the experience unless they are ready.

If the team decides to replace DiNucci this week and still doesn't start Rush, he has to wonder just how bad the team thinks he is.

In 2019, Dak injured his throwing shoulder and could literally no longer function throwing the ball. Despite being a 3rd year vet and the #2, the team didn't like him enough to let him play over a guy who was too injured to throw.

Now, he's a 4th year veteran with more experience in Kellen Moore's offense than anyone at the position, and the new guy who doesn't know the offense at all might be leapfrogging him for the next crack at playing time?

So if DiNucci doesn’t start, does he go back to the practice squad?

It amazes me that MM drafted DiNucci who was coached by his brother in H.S. So, Mike must have done a bunch of research and analysis for this pick.

Stick with Dinucci..and get rid of 50% of the gadget plays.

I think Sunday showed DiNucci has a long way to go. Might not be in his best interest to try to work through things on the field right now. He was in over his head.

Rush and Gilbert may have more experience, but neither has DiNucci's athleticism. Whoever they choose is going to get murdered.

Sounds like its so close between all three the staff is tossing three sided die to choose a starter.
