Can We Win The Big Game With Dak?

Possible but unlikely. Since his rookie season Dak looks more and more uncomfortable. While he show flashes of great play he is unable to maintain. The defense has covered his butt for the past ten weeks.

Question to a question. Can we win a Big game with McCarthy? Can we win a Big game with Moore? Can we win a Big game with this defense and Oline? Answer these questions also.

1000% agree. All good questions.

They couldn't win a big game with Romo. Or with Garrett. Or with Ware. Or with...[add name here]

So until they actually win some playoff games, the answer to all of these questions is NO.

Unfortunately not.

Dak has regressed mightily the past 2 months.

Once that happens it might be irreversible. See Carson Wentz.

Dak is 5-0 against the NFC East this season

Dak is 5-5 against everyone else


Dak for his career is 24-6 against the NFC East

Dak for his career is 28-25 against everyone else

The Ravens won a Super Bowl with Trent Dilfer. It’s not JUST about the Quarterback, so questions like these generally just stir the pot rather than create meaningful discussion.

The fact that Dallas depends on Dak playing great/elite to beat good teams means DALLAS as a team is probably not ready to win a Super Bowl.

Dak’s contract means he isn’t going anywhere anytime soon so that means we need to improve the pieces that will help our QB (who is clearly not on the level of all-time greats like Brady). That means we need to draft OL that is talented enough to block without holding every other play, drafting a DT who can push the pocket straight into the QB or destroy the run play, or maybe even a LB who doesn’t get outran to the sideline in critical situations (looking at you LVE).

If the team plays mistake-free to compensate for Dak’s mistakes, yes

Dak's issues are mental, not physical. He's proven he can make the throws, but freaks out when the competition ramps up. Did you see his face today? He looked terrified out there. Probably from watching Stephen A., Skip & Shannon, etc., over morning coffee. ;-) Perhaps he could benefit from the services of a good sports psychologist. He's like a pro golfer who inexplicably starts yipping on short putts or shanking iron shots. And like that guy, he could be cured with proper assistance.

On that level, even the distraction of wearing an unfamiliar, gimmicky, "Color Rush" uniform could be a distraction. And no team in the NFL even comes close to manufacturing more senseless distractions than the Dallas Cowboys.

Dak is afraid to throw the ball, he holds it for ages and has no touch. Dak can be a bus driver, which is sad considering all the talent on offense. Only chance this team has is Parsons, turnovers and special teams

Seriously how many passes did he throw downfield today? 2? It’s like he gets too afraid to take chances. Playing not to lose usually makes you lose.

What is our identity? Who is our go to player or play? If Kellen and Mike M. can’t answer that we’ll never win much.

Dak makes money like he can carry the team but we all know the team has to carry him.

Not without an all time great defense along with a great running game and this team doesn't have that right now.

Doubtful. We'd need dominance everywhere else. Worse QBs then Dak have won Super Bowls, but they were carried by their team.

I am beginning to think he's not he answer
Which is very depressing as we are tied to his contract
For several years.
So we will be good and competitive, but never a real threat for the Super Bowl.

Yes, but not with Kellen Moore as the offensive coordinator.

Dallas needs a veteran on offense as much as they needed Dan Quinn on defense.
