If you mean changing QB though out the game, Landry did that, with Morton and Staubach and did not work out so well and it took Lee Roy Jordan going to coach Landry and telling him he had to make a decision. Jordan was voted by players to go to Landry because they knew the respect he had for Jordan

You're not the one that has to defend paying Dak that much.

Jerry can say he likes to in the news all he wants, but I don't think he likes his decisions to be questioned.

That was 1971...I remember Landry was roundly criticized by the media across the country, and the fans.

Nor or you, If it came to the point where we were platooning QB I would say the same, pick one and go with him.

More so it had a negative effect on the team to the point that Jordan went to Landry. I really got past the point of what fans or media think, media will build people up just to knock them down and fans tend to be too knee jerk in their reaction. But what does matter is the players and the issues it causes in the locker room
