What Kind of Start Would it Take to bench the QB?

All true AC and this year Dak will have a full off-season to work on his game instead of rehabbing an injury.

If the O line can hold up and that's a big if I think he should have a good start to this year.

Intelligent fans should worry about the offensive line as it is what let us down last year especially with penalties and drafting the college holding champion is a suspect solution in my mind.
No quarterback can be successful when continually starting series behind the chains with a penalty prone offensive line.
Amen, brother @Blackrain !!

Preach!!!

A better thread would be how many more seasons are we going to put up with Tyron being injured or why have we not addressed the problem at center in free agency.

How about when will we get an offensive line coach that can develop the players we draft and put them in a system that uses their best attributes.

Why is it fans can't understand that the offensive line affects the running game and quarterback and that there's only about three human beings on the planet that can overcome no running game and a really bad offensive line and we do not have one of the three but neither do most teams and they figure out how to make it work

This is purely hypothetical. And for us, we think, at least, worst case scenario.

I think there could be some discussion about it if the Cowboys happen to start 0-3.

But what kind of start would it take for the Cowboys to bench Dakota?

Do you think it's possible that he loses three games in a row, to start, and then remains a starter?

Lol no, 0-3 isn't even close. You're dreaming and it's a stupid dream at that. You think Cooper Rush is gonna come in and save the day? Delusional.

Multiple awful pick sixes and some 2010 Green Bay/Jacksonville disasters.

Yeah the only way he gets benched is to save himself and short of injury I guarantee you he's right back in the starting line up the following week.

You don't sign a franchise QB just to bench him 3 weeks into a 17 game season.

Facts. We don't necessarily need a dominant run game, but we absolutely need to threaten a run game. When the defense has ZERO respect for your ability to run it makes it real easy to play cover 2 and sit on routes.

Your built in excuses for Dak go on and on and on. Take down the posters in your bedroom. Dak sux!
What excuses? I said if he is the cause. He should be benched, but if the losses aren't his fault, the. He shouldn't be benched. Either you lack in reading comprehension or your hate for Dak has you brainwashed. Again, thanks is for the laugh....you "fans" went from pissing me off to just making laugh. Go work on your material, it's starting to get a bit stale.

Dallas is going to start their first offensive series with a 7-yard pass to Schultz. If that pass is incomplete then Dak is done. I mean he would have had from now until then to practice it. It doesn’t get any easier.

Anyone suggesting dak gets pulled for any amount of losses is nuts….he’s the franchise qb and jerry has made his bed, even if dak craps all over it he’s not getting out of it

Realistically, there is no chance. Besides, Dak usually starts hot and then fades in the 2nd half of the season. 13 games into the season they are never going to bench Dak for his play on the field. Never. Especially if he starts hot again.

Remember, last year there was talk about Dak being the league MVP because of hw well he played the first few games. The problem is what to do with Dak 11 or 12 games into the season after he starts throwing inaccurate passes and making bad decisions. The answer is, there is nothing you can do at that point. The time to fix the problem was before giving him that huge contract.

Injury is the only thing to keep him out of the QB1 role, that's how it is set up with no challenger on the team.

Even if you are one that is not a fan of his, think he would be that bad and the rest of the team good?

If the team gets off to a rocky start, that's on the coaching and the entire team, not just the QB.

If they start off slow, the perpetual discussion of his "slump" to start the season will dominate the news. And you can look for Booger to make a comment about the WR's or trade for another one.

The overall effect of Cooper missing is the major unknown about this offense and many think Washington and a rookie WR are going to fix everything. And this team is all about riding that offense because the defense is not good enough to ride yet.

2017 Dak was bad enough to get benched.

Not even close! We went 9-7 and had nothing behind him at QB. He was only in his second season and was still developing.

Fans of other teams with inferior QBs that check out this board must roll their eyes at some of these Dak threads. They would be thrilled to swap their QB for him. Lol

Never understood worst case hypothetical scenarios, why is it so hard to think that we may get out to a good start, and heaven forbid, even a good finish. Is it really that hard to have a little hope? You guys can go Doom and gloom if you want, I'll be hoping for the best as always.

Let's go Cowboys :flagwave:

Last season coupled with an extremely disappointing playoff loss at home in the first round caused many fans to lose a lot of hope if not all hope. That along with the players we’ve lost this offseason has made it pretty understandable why so many fans have lost hope. Anything can happen this upcoming season and it’s certainly not out of the question that the Cowboys to get off to a good start and have a good finish. The division we play in gives us a chance to reach the playoffs until one of our division opponents begins to get consistent QB play. I enter every season with a wait-and-see attitude, hoping for the best but prepared for the worst.

I stopped getting my expectations up long ago. The Cowboys haven’t made the playoffs in back-to-back seasons in 15 years. That doesn’t mean they’re going miss the playoffs this season but I’m not getting my hopes up, especially with the questions on the OL. I’ve lost confidence in the team and their ability to play their best football when it matters most. The Cowboys are going to have to earn the fans trust by showing up in the big games. We’re all tired of seeing the team get punched in the mouth in the playoffs and fold. We’re tired of seeing the team get off to promising starts only to fade.
