So you say, that's your opinion. It also doesn't change your off topic point. Gtfoh

How am I off topic? You are avoiding the main issue and your tough talk doesn't help your puny argument. The GM is a major issue with this organization and he happens to be the owner. You blaming a lame duck coach for the management of the team is plain dumb.

Maybe, however, we'll probably lose him if he's kept at DC..... at least we'll have some continuity on the defensive side of the ball. We could be looking at Quinn and Moore getting head hunted and us looking to remove MM.

Leaving us needing a whole new coaching team......not happening when Dak is paid to win now.

What makes you think Quinn would still call the defense as Head coach? I 'm not sure he did that in Atlanta, he still would be distracted with all the extra responsibilities

Your off topic, this thread is about Pollard not being in the game, in which you blamed Jerry when he's not coaching the damn team, yeah you off topic, as I said gtfoh

No, i Didn’t choose to ignore your point of having 2 injured RBs. 1 injured RB was effective and 1 injured RB was not effective. There is no good reason the effective injured RB should play second fiddle to the ineffective injured RB but for the fact Zeke was drafted # 4 overall and is one of the most highly paid RBs in league history.
You can't get over the salary amount, I get it. But your emotional response isn't evidence.

There is no way they didn't play Pollard if he was the better option.

People don't realize that as a head coach you have so much more on your plate that takes you away from 1 side of the ball.
which DQ himself said. That fact u mentioned is what did him in. I think hes right where he needs to be. That said, he was coaching that stellar D yesterday that had all those penalties. I wouldn't be surprised a bit if we let Quinn walk and Moore, & MM. It could be a purge event in Dallas. Jerry was pissed.

I don't think MM is going anywhere, if Quinn wasn't being courted by teams, he would be here next year

My point, why wasn't he in the game Sherlock? You blamed a man with no power and I blamed the man with power. You see how that goes? Surely, McCarthy would play the more talented and explosive back in a one and done, right?

Dude, I have known you too long to know you have the ability to see through BS better than this. You were able to weed through the BS with Romo and Dez. For the life of me I can’t understand why you have blinders on with Zeke.

Pollard has consistently been more efficient than Zeke has been, even yesterday. This is supported by both the eye ball test and also with objective data. It is clear to most everyone Pollard was the more effective player. The only question is why and injury can’t be the reason because even though Pollard is playing through injury, it’s still clear he is more effective.

He was busy making plays on the 4 times he had the ball while Zeke was busy running into the butt end of #52

Pollard was fine and that was clear from the kick off returns. He should have been the starter because at this point he is WAY better than Zeke. He wasn’t though because the coaching staff here is ********. This is a business to Jerry and not about winning championships. Zeke is the more popular player and that is why he was the starter yesterday. This is what is wrong with the franchise.

True on DQ..But I think MM is a goner. May happen today. Jerry may not even have to fire him. He may just walk away. I can see that. I think we will lose at least 3 coaches.

Sherlock. Again, that's you opinion. MM is the coach, you have absolutely no idea what power MM have over the football operation, it's asinine to think that man would stand up there and be neutered especially when he told you Pollard was 100% and ready to go. MM is the coach and in charge of what's going on on the field, there is no evidence anything is different Sherlock

Because you're not understanding my points. Obviously. If I don't agree that Elliott only starts because of his salary and name, you can't discuss anything else. I'm not willing to except an unfounded answer. Yours or other's "eyeball test" is the last thing I'm leaning on. Pollard had a nice return and then we didn't see him. So the entire franchise decided, naw, Pollard should run anymore because of Elliott. There's more we don't know, that's all I'm saying.
I took heavy fire from the Elliott fan club (which you seem to think I'm a part of, even though I've been consistent in saying we need both, but whatever, goes ignored.) when I suggested the knee brace wasn't for just a bruise. And I wonder, why would you play Pollard if he also has a tear? They should have signed RBs to cycle in.
To be fair and honest, I have a hard time discussing what fans think is reasonable with regard to a players name or salary. Otherwise, Jaylon Smith wouldn't have been cut after getting a lucrative contract extension.

I'll repeat the same views I had years ago: I wouldn't have drafted any RB in the 1st round, let alone 4th overall.
I would have used the 5th year option and traded or let him get re-signed somewhere else and the same goes for any player that isn't a QB or lineman.

So was Garrett, please explain his use of that vast power. McCarthy has the power to speak and whatever the GM relays to him. Pollard has been killing it for most of the year and the powerful coach has not utilized his skill. That is highly questionable and a fireball offense.

On a different note, look through the posts and you will find that I am not the only one that believes your lame duck coach is powerless, please give your assessment on that topic good sir.

Wasted behind a grossly overpaid an overrated player.
yeah and with pollard comes a chance of breaking a long run, but cowboys coach decided it would be mostly zeke today.
And jerry may have told them play zeke, and then they have too.

Really it is like the HC wants to play rush instead of dak for this game, could he do it??
no jerry would not allow it. and if he does it anyway jerry would zoom down from his throne room, and tell the hc to put dak in or else.

In a way this is all good, because you know jerry is bummed out and embarrassed after this loss, one and done !
It is a fit punishment for not putting jimmy in roh, and for playing at being GM.
Hopefully it bums him out for the next month or 2.
by draft time he will be over it and excited again lol

your lame duck coach is powerless,
he is but not totally, he has some say int things, and on game day he manages the game.
he could just play pollard whole game and get in trouble for it, and that would be better than losing the game.
