If he performs in the pocket like he did the end of last season hes not the one that needs to be gone it's Kellen Moore who has him in the pocket instead of moving.

If the Cowboys get off to a bad start the last thing they would do is bench their franchise QB for a QB that’s had only one career start. You’re not going to dig your way out of a bad start with Cooper Rush or Ben DiNucci…get real! Lol

Bad starts are blamed on the HC ......... how many times did Romo get benched when we started slow ........

We went 8-8 under Romo three straight seasons and he never got benched. You don’t bench your franchise QB unless you have a better option. We didn’t have a better option then and we don’t have a better option now.

Given that Zeke played terrible last year after his injury and continued to start the entire time, it would have to be something ridiculous. Like, an 0-15 start. Dak could take a dump on Jerry's desk and he wouldn't lose his job.

Have you seen the rest of our QB room?

Dak could be the worst QB in the league and there’s no shot he’s getting benched.

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?
Dak is their franchise QB....they are not benching him for Cooper Rush lol. Better pray for something else to occur like injury or something lol.

If we get off to a bad start it won’t be the QB it will be what’s around him and the coaching. Our OL is in question as is our WR position. We’ll be starting the season with three of our top four receivers out from last season. Amari and Cedric aren’t coming back and Gallup may not return for the first few games of the season. Good luck trying to string together wins by benching Dak. Lol

The only thing constant in these wonderful forums of ours.......seems these Dak Zombies are ready to go for this coming season!!!!:(

Yes, it's not a perfect gridiron world so our 160 million$ QB better rise to the challenge!!!

There’s going to be some fans that will pull against Dak and the team this season. They want change at the QB position and they want Jerry to make significant changes to the team.

What start would it take to bench Dak for Cooper Rush? Maybe if Dak were kidnapped by space aliens Maybe.

Don’t give the haters any ideas. They may dress as an alien to kidnap him.
Then will be happy when Rush goes 0-17 so we get the #1 overall draft pick.

I say they will dress like an alien, because real aliens are too smart to kidnap Dak. They are real Cowboys fans anyway.
Universes Team.

Dallas would rather hit the tip of their dick with a shovel before that ever happens.

Hell look at us trotting out zeke last game just to get a 1000 yards no one cares about or running zeke over Pollard half the season. Pollard had what like 4 or 5 touches against the 49rs which is disgustingly criminal.

Sometimes It's hard to be a fan still with this ownership

This gives you a pretty good idea what some fans think of Dak and our chances this season.

One of the important points about a team pulling a starter is if they feel a backup has any kind of potential they need to see or if he gives them a commensurate chance to win the football game.

Dallas hasn’t attempted to invest in its backup QB position since… well, Dak, besides that one year of Dalton. There is no one to bench him for; if he starts the season 0-3, 0-4, 0-5, then Dallas wouldn’t be able to convince anybody that Rush or Dinucci or whoever could have done better. Dak will stay in even if it’s 0-17.

I hope we go 3-0.

Dak got "benched" in 2020 because of his injury.......How did that season turn out with Dalton and Dinucci at the helm?

Dak ain't going anywhere.
Dak ain't gonna be on the bench. And by the way, have you seen our backups?

And your premise that losses means bench the QB is wrong. Team game. Losses do not mean the QB is playing poorly.
