Dalton needed twice the games! You keep using Winston like it's even relevant. Wins and losses are a team stat. It's incredibly ignorant to keep using them as a point.
You don't even get that you don't get it.

And you keep harping on passing yards as if those are relevant! They aren't. Wins and losses are a team stat, and Dalton has gotten the same w/l ratio that Dak had with a WORSE TEAM. FFS dude, are you being purposefully obtuse?

While Dakota was putting up garbage time numbers, but not reeling in the team to get victories.

It seems the Red Riffle has put this team on his back, fired them up, and has been carrying us to victory.

I say we pay Dalton, and build more defense through the draft. Since we can't draft a good QB anymore with our plummet in the draft.

Feels good to finally have a great QB

Lol! It’s amazing the level of ridiculousness someone will go to to push their agenda!

This is one of the biggest examples. Dak had Witten wide open, and it was much easier throw, but he simply stated down his WR he was going too. His anticipation is mediocre. And even though the choice was not ideal, he still could have completed the pass if he was accurate. And the pass blocking was legit.

I think Dalton is the most talented QB since Romo he has shown accuracy and made throws using ball placement that you want out of your QB. Dalton hasnt been throwing to these WRs that long and he will get better with more time. I think Dak is probably the hardest worker out of the 3 and he gets the most out of what he has but he just doesnt have the accuracy.

strange. He’s ctr enemy accurate by literally every metric. Do you have special eyes?

What other guy? A hypothetical some keep chirping is going to be a real difference maker? Who's is this unicorn?

Take your pick. Future draft picks, draft picks we already made that will need paid, on the market free agents. You never know when someone will fall into your lap that you won't be able to afford because of the very average QB you are paying as the best in the league. That's a problem for me.

To be fair, it’s been nice seeing balls delivered not too high or behind receivers.
Dalton's had his fair share of inaccurate throws. Perhaps you are too hard on Dak and not as hard on Dalton? He's almost gotten Lamb killed a few times already with high balls.

Harping? I'm simply pointing out that Dalton needed 10 games to surpass Prescott's 5. That's substantial if you're not challenged.

It's not though. It's completely irrelevant when the end results are the same. As a matter of fact, it makes Dak look worse.

Right, you don't know. Just spewing the same thing over and over.
In fact, you lose any credibility you may have had claiming he's average, lmao. Lord.

Every Qb overthrows once in awhile. This idea that another QB does it, proving bias against Dak, is a false argument. What we talk about regarding Dak is a ‘tendency’ and ‘consistent pattern’ that goes back to his college days and continues to rear its ugly head, over and over and over again. Dak is who he is.

I already said Dak can throw deep, provided it’s his first read and he knows where he is going. This obfuscated the whole “can’t throw deep” claim. The issue is when he needs to go through his progressions or his inability to do throw from a traditional drop back which limits the offense, the times he starts throwing with his arm, his sloppy footwork, often exacerbated by his bulky frame, he is not accurate. You can argue Big Ben or Marino is or was bulky, but both are traditional pure pocket passers that, and in their prime, could launch it from any angle.

Didn't read this whole thread. Putting aside Dak's first year after Romo came back from injury I would say Dalton is the best backup QB the Cowboys have had since Kitna.

Did I say it was you who was calling Dalton better than Dak?

I'm talking about a few posters on this board...

You can do better then that. Go outside, talk to a stranger. You will quickly find out that there is a lot more love in this world then the media wants you to believe. You can do better. Just because someone disagrees with you on who they think can throw a football better doesn't mean you should instantly jump to such a dumb conclusion. Do better.

And BTW, Andy Dalton has 11 TDs and 2 INT in the red zone, while Dak had 3 TDs and 1 INT. Andy is 25 of 44, while Dak was 11 of 20.

Andy has a much HIGHER TD to INT ratio when the defense is tight.

And let’s be even more Frank. Most of the mistakes of Dalton were when he was first inserted into the chaos. Ever since the OL has settled to a degree, even though it’s still mediocre, he’s leading the offense.
