I don't let 1 game or a handful of games outweigh a career of evidence.

People are reactionary. They are tick tok fans now. Instant gratification.

Until they get it, they will scream and yell about anything. We blow out the Bengals next week (won't happen) and everyone will be talking super bowl (i wont).

That is how it works.
How many 3 and outs over the years do you need to see???

Lol you guys make up your minds...is a good QB about stats or wining? again Romo and Dak have matching resumes..how is one "A great QB" and the other "Hopeless"..lol

Easy...Romo was good not great. Dak is average to just below average at this point. Other teams figured out how to stop RG3 and now have a blueprint
on stopping Dak cold. Our idiot OC can't figure out an offense that could work for him...

Sadly, you can't closely compare the talent we had on the field last night to what we had when we played San Fran last year. We are far far worse on Offense.

What you had last night was the fruit of the teams off season plan. None of it explains or excuses Daks putrid effort, sadly.

Just stop. Do you watch? He's just awful when it matters. He has to be carried. The rest of the league LOVES to play Dak because he's simple to defend.

If the team doesn't quit like they did on Dalton, things won't look worse the next 8 games.

In fact, the last time Cooper and Lamb had a good game, Rush was the QB. Dak is their kryptonite. He was ridiculous against the 49ers and even worse last night.

Wake up.
Do i watch football...nah... I didn't JUST rewatch every play 3 or 4 times or anything.

Maybe if Ceedee actually caught the balls that were thrown to him he wouldn't have that problem?

Dak wasn't bad vs SF either. Had some bad plays but our defense was horrible against the run, our team had crushing penalties and Ceedee dropped passes. Sounds like last night except we weren't "horrible" against the run last night, only sub par.

10 drive killing penalties, a few drops, horrible playcalling and we have a guy named Houston out there running routes with 0 separation while our 4.4 3rd round wr is home.

Dak's fault.

Blocking wasn’t bad, just like last year.Just more excuses for Dak.
Yes, all of the free running defenders at Dak are totally normal. Happened multiple times including the one that he broke his hand on.

Easily correctable for these youngsters but to claim his blocking was good is not accurate.

There were a couple plays here and there, but overall not horrible considering the injuries.The line certainly wasn’t the reason for the loss.

I've been a supporter all these years based on fandom and hope. He's regressed. It's like he's lost all his confidence and trust in himself. The line play wasn't great but not too bad for youngsters and rush seemed more effective when he was in. Was that due to prevent? Maybe.

The play calling isn't great but more guys like ceedee need to step up. Zeke was running well and needed double the carries.

If he comes back and can't turn it around this year I'm done and hoping we can start over in the draft with a QB on the top 10. I'd be ready to cut zeke and see if we can trade dak. I mean even Wentz had value so we should be able to get something. If not I keep him until our new QB (stroud,Bryce,levis) are ready.

I'm just exhausted holding onto hope. I want change instead of status quo middle of the pack.

Dak is about to rehab under a daunting, ominous cloud these next two months. I suggest they plan his next start on back-to-back road games to help ease the pounding.

No longer are the blinders on half the Cowboys fandom. We all support him as a good dude who gives it his all, but half of us also haven't believed he was the guy for a very long time, and certainly not worth the elite salary cap space he takes up. That debate has eaten up the majority of the bandwidth on this site for several years.

No more debate. Now, nobody in their right mind still believes he can carry the team in clutch moments against good teams while eating up piles of the cap at the same time. The boos grew louder and longer last night as the game wore on. The end was a broken hand and an ugly image of people throwing things at him as he went in for treatment. C'mon Cowboy fans, be better than that. Sheesh.

I haven't heard it like that in the stadium ever, especially when it was all aimed primarily at a single player. Passes were behind and over the heads of receivers from the second drive on. It got uglier and uglier, especially the double-clutching and unwillingness to throw the ball at times.

Dak still doesn't trust his arm. Clearly.

There he stood, eyes, like saucers on the sidelines, as if he's trapped in a bootloop he can't resolve. Want-to and work ethic can't seem to fix the shortcomings, or his would be fixed. He's truly a first-class guy who gives it all he's got. And this is all he's got.

Now, two-plus seasons that have featured a AC joint sprain, dislocated ankle, lat/shoulder strain, calf strain, broken hand.....they're piling up quicker and earlier than they did with Romo. Romo was the picture of health compared to this guy to this point in their careers.

I wonder what the team thinks. Cooper lost confidence in Dak, and that got him a ticket out of here. Other teams toy with him in the media. He's nobody's darling anymore.

This return will define Dak quickly and forever. He's got to let go of his insecurities and just play. Let it be whatever it is. Turn it loose.

That's his only out of this dark hole and back into Cowboys fans' hearts and minds.
Excellent post my friend.

Dak’s as done as a ribeye in a 5-alarm fire.

Ever since he broke his ankle dude has not been the same. I'm ready to move on from Dak after this season.

You are on an island all by yourself on this. Drop the pom-poms and realize that playcallers are completely hamstrung by Dak's many limitations and his complete reluctance to trust his arm.

Even Dak knows he's not good.
